THE NO FENCE LAW.

Petitions and Counter Petitions Pour
ing IN on the Court of Ordinary.
The proposition to submit the no fence
law to an election by the people has stirred
up the natives in the country. Early in
May last Gugie Bourquin aud forty-nine
freeholders signed petition praying Judge
Ferrill of the court of ordinary to grant an
election, to be held under section 1455 of the
code Of Georgia, to determine the question
of fence or mo fence,n and had no
counter petition been submitted the petit
ton for an election would be granted to-
morrow.
Yesterday morning, however, D. C. New
ton and 191 citizens of the Eighth Militia
district sent in counter petition, and yes
terday another strong counter petition
against submitting the fence question to q
vote was filed in the court of ordinary just
before the close of the official hours. 1t is
signed by about sixty citizens residing in
Savannah. principally men in manufac-
turing and business pursuits. 1t is worthy
of note that the lumber men are opposed to
the election, as are great many men on
the Bay, whose names appear on the coun-
ter petition.
A gentleman who favors the settlement
of the fence question at the polls, said yes
terday that all that will be necessary for
them to do is to file another petition for the
election, with twenty-five signers, aud there
will be no trouble TO get them. He said
that petition could be secured with 2, 500
names to it if it were necessary. He in
Weighed against the injustice of the present
fence law which permits stock to run at
large and continually depredate crops, and
as the timber is no longer suitable for
fencing, mill lumber, which is expensive,
must be purchased to fence out stock that
runs at large at will If owners of stock
were required to pasture it on their own
property, crops could be cultivated with
less expense and less danger from the incur
sions of logs and cattle, which are now
destructive and hindrance to successful
agriculture and truck gardening. He
thinks that if the matter is submitted to a
vote of the people the evils complained of
will be rectifled by them at the polls. The
issue will call out big vote, and both sides
claim that they will win.

The Roof Falls In.

Last evening about o'clock Bull street
was crowded with the usual afternoon
throng. Young ladies returning from shop
ping or promenade. Men, worn out from
their busy days work, leisurely strolIed
homeward. In the Vicinity of the new
hotel the crowd seemed thickest. Groups
had gathered here and there, admiring the
stately structure that all Savannahians are
feeling so proud Of. Suddenly a tremendous
crash was heard. Some one in the crowd
cried out, The hotel roof has fallen in r'
Instinctively every eye was turned to the
roof of the building. Mental pictures of
the fall of Pemherton's mill, Lyons block
and the big tobacco factory at Danville.
Va, flashed through many minds. But
here everything appeared all right. Every
beam in position, every brick in its place.
Around on Liberty street rushed the crowd
expecting to see a pile of ruins instead of
stately walls. But no; there it stood. as
solid and erect as ever. Some of the more
exciteabls in the crowd were about to enter
the building to make closer examination.

TO KEEP UP THE CANVASS
TIE BUSINESS MEMS COMMITTEE
STILL AT WORK.

The $4,000 for the Savannah, Ameri
Gus and Montgomery Railroad to be
Raised by June 20, if at An-S3o, 900
Yet TO pc Subscribed and Must be
Had in Three weeks-Whar Bruins
wick is Doing.
Eight members of the business mems
committee, which has been canvassing for
the $50. 900 to secure the Savannah, Ameri-
Gus and Montgomery road, met in the
board of trade rooms yesterday afternoon.
Chairman Joseph D. Weed presided and
discussed the situation. IL is understood
that the committees work thus far has re-
suited in subscriptions amounting to about
600 600. less than half the amount required.
There were some not very encouraging
reports. The cotton msn, who are supposed
TO be deeply interested in increased railroad
facilities. are down for less than 5000,
and of the sum subscribed very few con-
tributed.
A gentleman who was present at the
meeting entered into a free review Of the
situation. He said that Savannah is in q
very fair condition to continue in her in
itself left Railroads don't come now to
cities which 30 not lend them helping
hand. lie situation is very plain one.
BRUNSWICK AFTER IT.
Brunswick offers terminal facilities for
the Amerlcus road, and Brunswick will get
it if Savannah don't act pretty soon. When
Brunswick gets the road it will then he too
late. he argued, to talk about build
ing road across the country
to recover what has been lost.
When trade begins to flow in a certain
channel it is not easily changed. He
argues that the idea is an incorrect one that
roads must come here merely because this
is Savannah, and Savannah is a large city.
Savannah will get the road if it will help to
get it, and il it don't work for it Brunswick
will, aud Brunswick will get it,
The committee did not appear to be in a
mood for trifing. The members argued
that they had been devoting their time
from their business to talk TO men who are
as much interested In increased
railroad facilities as the mem
bers of the committee, and they pro-
pose now TO draw the line. The following
resolution, by Mr.. Isaac g. Haas, was unani-
mously adopted:
TWENTY DAYS MORE.
RESOLVED, That in the event that the required
$4,000 be not subscribed byJ une 20, 1899 this
committee dissolve itself on that day, feeling
that the indifference and apathy OF our citizens
will not warrant this committee In devoting
more time to this project.
1t was determined, however, to
make one more earnest effort to
raise the fund, and committee
consisting Of Messers. s. L. Lazaron,
Charles II. Dorset. w. ID. Krenson, J. R.
Young and Col William Garrard, was APP
pointed to enlarge the canvassing commit
tee and enlist the active corporations Of
other representative citizens who have thus
far taken no active part in the matter.
The committee was authorized to convene
the enlarged committee at an early date for
& general conference. and to present such
arguments as will bring the necessity of the
citizens aiding the committee in raising the
fund to bring the road to Savannah. s. l..
Lazaron, Esq, who suggested the enlarge
ment Of the committee, was made chair
man.

WarningI

On the Savannah steamer for New York
were two families with four children en-
route for Bremen, Germany. The husbands
had applied to me for tickets, but according
to instructions from Oelrichs s. Co., would
not sell them tickets without previously
securing them berths. I offered to tele-
graph at my own expense to secure berths
but they preferred to select them at the
office here. Upon their arrival they found
every berth engaged, and not to remain
here an indefinite time, they were COM
PEELED to accept steerage passage.

Europe not to leave home unless they have
previously engaged rooms, as almost every
room is engaged up to July Is.
