TO BE NO DELAY NOW.
THE $4,000 FOR THE AMKRIcUs
ROAD TO BE RAISED AT ONCE.

The Canvassing Committee Increased
to ia Members and Meeting 20 be
Held at the Board of Trade Rooms
Tomorrow Afternoon - The Com
mittee's Appeal to the Business
Men.
There Is a noticeable interest in the effort
to raise the $4,000 fund to insure the
Americas road. As the danger OF losing it
looms up. the necessity Of extra effort to
secure it is beginning to be appreciated,
and steps were taken yesterday afternoon
to infuse new life into the canvass.
The committee charged with enlarging
the canYassing committee met at
the board of trade rooms and after
a revision of the old canvassing COM
mittee, enlarged it so that it now numbers
ia members, and Messrs. s. l.. Lazaron,
John r. Young, Col. William Garrard, W
d. Krenson and Charles II. Dorsett united
In an earnest appeal to the enlarged CON-
mittee TO aid in the work, which was sent
to each member last night, calling a meet
ing for tomorrow afternoon at 4:30 o'clock
at the board of trade rooms. The address
says:
The prosperity of Savannah and her business
interests now hangs in the scale.
The Savannah, Americas and Montgomery
road must be built; it is of vital Importance to
every class of our citizens that it should be.
Shall our trade and population increase, or
shall they be allowed by indifference TO di-
minish?
There is no time to falter The paltry sum of
$4,000 for terminal facilities can and must be
raised The sum of $4,000 has already been
subscribed and the city has been but partially
canvass5d-
Every public spirited citizen should lend his
efforts and cooperation to this enterprise, and
by personal vigor and energy secure this much
needed road
An enlarged and select committee of earnest,
influential and jealous workers have been APP
pointed to cooperate with the present commit
tee and as one of said committee you are re-
ouested to meet with them in conference on
thursday, June 6, at the rooms Of the board OF
trade at $3.50 O'Clock p m, when by united de-
alterations and action the best and most assured
means will be adopted for concentrating this
much needed enterprise.
Do not fail to attend as your presence will be
expected.

Mr.. John r. Young, president of the
Board of Trade, says that the Importance
OF the proposed extension of the road from
Americas to this city can hardly be over
estimated, and should not be lost sight Of
S. l.. Lazaron, ESQ.,, chairman of the
committee which met yesterday, says
that the people must awaken to a
realization of what railroads do to build I'D
and advance the property of cities How
they bring an influx of population and
stimulate every branch of industrial and
commercial life. Savannah owes much of
her present prosperity and past progress to
the roads she already has, but she needs
independent lines over which she can give
secure transportation, holding the trade of
territory slipping away from her, and ex-
tending her trade and commerce.
If the new committee exerts half the
energy which has been characteristic of the
smaller Committee which has been canvass
ing for the fund, and which has raised
nearly one-han of it, the general impression
prevails that the enterprise will not have to
be dropped on June 20, and the road will
not be diverted elsewhere, as would newt
ably follow failure.
1t is the impression that If the Central
had any intention to build across country it
would have bought the Savannah, Dublin
and Western roadway yesterday. The up
set price of $4,000 was a mere bagateile
when it had already spent 500, 900 to
choke off the enterprise.
Several subscriptions of 800 and 5000
were received yesterday, and much more
hopeful feeling prevailed that the fund may
yet be secured. There will be no delay in
pushing the road from its present terminus
at McRae to this city as soon as the pro-
Jectors of the enterprise receive notice that
Savannah stands ready to assure them the
fund has been raised.

ChuckIlng at Ottawa.

TORONTO, Aug. Ga special from Ottawa
t01.he Umpire, government organ, says
tnere was considerable chuckling here at
the news from Victoria of the safe arrival
there Of the sealer Black Diamond, al
though there is naturally much excitement
still existent at the outrageous conduct and
actof Captain Shepard in forcibly boarding
the vessel and breaking the ships lockers.
S 'epard's action and that of his govern
me 1t al IDS very r. m lrkable contras to
the treatment extended United States nsh-
ing vessels that have been seized or de-
tanned for the transgression of Canadian
fishing laws on the Atlantic Apart alto
gethe. from the recent seizure, the conduct
of Captain Shepard must of necessity
engage the most serious attention of the
home government. In this case a vessel
having a British register and flying the
British flag is boarded on the high seas and
forcibly searched. Under these circum-
stances it is surely due to British ships pur-
suing their legitimate calling that the i'm
perial government should, without further
representation, take prompt and decisive
measures to protect its commerce beyond
the territorial waters of the United States
or any other territory.
Collector Hamley has telegraphed to the
minister of customs that the Black Dia-
mond's pr pers of clearance coasting license
and certificate of registry, as well as her
salted skins, were taken from her.

WINoNA, Mimi, Aug. ernest Hoppe,
a railroad laborer living at Minnesota city,
put a heavy log chain about his twelve
year-old boy yesterday morning and locked
it so tight that the boy was nearly checked.
Hoppe then calmly placed the key in his
pocket and went away about his work. Two
or three hours after this the suffering
boys little brother called the neighbors
and they carried the boy to a
blacksmith shop, where the chain
was removed. When Hoppe came
home the neighbors came in force and,
after struggle, put the chain around his
neck and affixed him to a post near the
residence. He Swore blue streak at first
but at last quoted down. The only offense
of the boy was letting the sheep out of the
pen where they had been confined without
water. The brutal father said if the boy
had died he would have reioiced over the
affair with a keg of beer The boy has
gone away.
