AFTER THE SOUTH-B0UND
DARIEN WANTS THE NEW SHORT
LINE TO THE NORTH.

A Committee of Darieu Citizens to
Confer with the Directors OF the
Road-The Effect of the Terminal
Deal on the New Enterprise-What
1t is Likely to Do for Savannah.
The Darien dispatch in yesterdays MORN
ING NEWS, stating that a committee of citi-
zens of that place had been appointed to
visit this city and ascertain If the directors
of the proposed South Bound railroad from
Columbia, S. c., to Jacksonville, Fla, could
not be induced to take in Darien EN- route,
was the subject of discussion yesterday
among some of those who are interested in
the new enterprise.
A director of the "South- Bound" in con-
versation with a representative of the
MORNING News, said that he was very glad
to see that the eope to the south of Savan-
nah are taking an interest in the building of
the new airline to Florida, and in reply to
question as to what he thought would be
the effect Of the late railroad deal on the
new enterprise, be said that he thought it
would be be leficial.
There are other lines in Virginia and
farther north, seeking southern business,
and tee South-Bouud will soon become
necessity. He thought that it is the es
railroad route that has ever been projected
IN the south. 1t is a short line to til
north and west via Columbia, and runs
through a we'll settled and prosperous
country From this city southwark it
will be the shortest line to Florida, and
also to Darien, Brunswick, s.. Mary's, and
other coast cities, all of which are destined
to grow with the development Of the
country.
The gentleman said that if the Richmond
Terminal combination is to give Savannah
a population of $50, coo in five years, the
South ound, the Atlanta, Atlantic and
Gre t Western, and the Americus, Preston
and Lumpkin railroads, the trains of al! of
which will be running into Savannah be-
fore that time, will add another 10000 to
her population.
The board of directors in the South-Bound
will doubtless be glad to welcome the Da-
rien committee.

BABE FROM THE WOODS.
Judge Ferrill Has Rather an Unusue
Case to Deal With.

Case to Deal With.
A regular "babes in the woods" case was
before Judge Ferrill, in the court of ordi-
nary, yesterday afternoon. About nine
years ago little coIored child was found
in deserted cabin in the woods. A sister
of Reiner Scriven colored) took the infant,
which was female child, and turned it
over to the wife of Barnard Davis (colored),
who adopted it.
The Scriven woman claimed that her
arrangement with the Davis woman was
that upon the death of the latter the child
was to revert to the Scriven woman. The
Davis woman died not long since. and the
Scriven woman took the child back, but it
appears from the statement of the child to
Judge Ferrill that tho Sciven woman
treated her cruelty and she sought the protec-
ton of her adopted father, Barnard Davis,
between whom and herself mutual affec-
ton existed. The Scriven woman sued out
a writ of hdbedS corpus for the child, but
Judge Ferrill not only granted temporary
letters of guardianship to Davis, but gave
him the custody of the child and RENTED
all fees.
Flr seven years Davis had the child with
him, and Judge Ferrill took the word of the
child, who begged piteously that she should
not be relegated 10 the custody of the
woman who not only curtailed her food, but
was cruel to her. Davis has been a kind
and indulgent father to the little waif
