Busin ess Men to Discuss the Situation
at the Board of Trade To-Day.
There will be meeting at the board of
trade rooms this afternoon at 80 o'clock Of
the merchants and the business men of
Savannah generally who recognize the i'm
ortance Of the city increasing its railroad
facilities, not only TO new fields, but to pre-.
vent trade from being diverted to other
points, and which Savannah is likely to
lose il she does not do something TO offset
the more progressive action Of other com
petitive cities
''lt is the desire of those interested in in
augurating q movement toward extending
aid TO railroads projected toward this city"
said Mr.. Isaac G.. Haas, the secretary of the
last meeting held at the board of trade
rooms, ''to discuss the situation and en-
deavor to reach some definite and tangible
plan for cooperating with those who seek
to extend lines of road to this city"
The meeting was to have been held yester-
day afternoon, but through some misappre-
hension of the hour it was postponed u1til
430 o'clock this afternoon, although the
attendance yesterday would have been very
large if those who turned out had done so
at a uniform hour. There is a deep and
growing interest in railroad movements,
and the necessity of Savannah doing some
thing is recognized.

THE FIRST SUBSCRIPTION.
The Canvass for the South Bound
Starts Of Promisingly.

Starts Of Promisingly.
The work of canvassing for the South
Bound railroad, to be extended from Barn
well, s. c., to Savannah, began yesterday.
The canvassers met with remarkable de-
gree Of encouragement. The firm of Gar
net, Stubs a. Co. led Off wi h subscrip-
tion Of $500, and several subscriptions of
$1,000 each we're made.
Mr.. F. d. Bloodworth, president of the
cotton exchange, Mr. j. X. Garnett of
Garnett, Stubbs & Co., aud Col. Mike
Brown Of Barnweil, $. c., compose the
committee which is assigned to continue the
canvass of the city to-day.
A gentleman in discussing the probable
success of the S )uth Bound roal last night,
said that Savannah will be standing in her
own light if her business men do not tako
h-ld of the enterprise, and alluding to the
subscription of Garnett, Stubbs 81 Co, he
remarked that there are q number of cotton
factors, wholesale grCcers, dry goods ouSes
and capitalists who have large blocks of
real estate, who ought to subscribe as iber-
ally as Garnett, StuCbs & Co.
Col Brown, to whom the remarks were
directed, coincided with the vie s and
added that when two such towns as Barn
we'll and Appleton, or such aS Barnwell and
Allendale with but about 5000 population,
had subscribed between $25 900 and $50. 600.
Savannah, with over 5000 population aud
the terminus of the proposed road. ought
hardly to require a canvassing committee
to raise the amount of subscription it is ex-
pected should be secured Lere.
1T is Of vital interest t. Savannah he
said, ito do what she can to bring more
railroads to the city, and we are not asking
much from her people"
In addition to the canvass that is to be
made throughout the city, Col. Brown said
last night that he will receive subscriptions
at the Screven house, where he is stopping
while in the city.

Awake my muse. leave all small things,
To low ambition and envy's scornful stings.
Forget the new hotel the market sewer,
Railroad schemes, quarantine, the new brewer
Let Tybee bask amidst her rolling sands,
Her switchback road and picnic stands.
Spring has come! her vernal breath inspires
ALL with bright hopes, boils and poetic fire.
The new court house clock will reckon future
time
The new postoffice lives only in our rhyme.
But Fashion wields afresh her magic wand,
Last years straw hat soon will be unpawned.
At LEWIS, hustle" wakes the morning air,
Spring Suits dispense brilliant glare.
'Tis there that Fashion holds her gorgeous
court.
With seductive rainlent for sage or sport"
Imported Suits in Wide Wales, the newest fad; :;
Trousers in variety to drive "Brummell' mad,
Neckwear varied as the rainbow's tints,
Furnishings that would make cynic vince.
Lo! the poor Indian, whose bronzed frame
Courts nature and scorns CIothing's name,
Would catch on" quickly to LEWIS show
And pledge his blanket such style to know.
Neglge Shirts, fit companions of our ease,
Such beauteous garments, one seldom sees.
Mother! Thou whose simplest wants
Are relinquished. to keep your boy in Pants,
We have Boys Suits, all toooI ana stout
At dny price to close The remnant ont.
Ministers, who guide aud keep us straight,
We have Suits for you in d3v freight
In fine we've opened up for Spring
A stock, whose praises even 1Ce must sing.
Our prices, too, catch Competitions eye,
But 0e always lead, while others can but try
Our variety is so boundless in It's extent,
That we please each no matter whit his bent
We always keep faith with our many friends.
SO that our reputation begins where others

And see the rush. for every one wants more"
The man is wise, who knows when he is through,

The Signal Bureau Makes Discovery
OFF Florida.
Signal Observer O'Brien of Jupiter Inlet,
Fla, passed through the city yesterday on
his way to Washington on a fifteen days
furlough. Mr.. O'Brien says that the fish,
urtles and other marine life, are being de-
stroyed about fifteen miles Off Jupiter Inlet,
by an oily substance, which has made its
appearance on the water within the past
three weeks 1t has destroyed the splendid
snapper and bass fishing in that locality,
and deep sea turtles and many varieties of
fish by the thousands have come to the sur
face as dead as March herring.
1t is believed that so lie seimlc sub
marine disturbance has opened cavity
and liberated vein of oil, which, coming
up through the fishing banks, has killed the
fish by the strong impregnation of the
water.
As this has occurred within fifteen miles
Of land, Investigations will no doubt follow
TO see il oil does not underlie that portion
of South Florida, and it is believed that
when the matter is brought to the atten ion
Of oil men prospecting will follow. That
the substance on the water is oil is needed,
and being upheaved in that immediate
locality the conclusion follows that oil can
be found by boring, but how deep is TO be
known only after test.

Built.
The contract for the erection of the
Hughes garbage crematory has been
signed by Mayor Schwarz for the city, and
by H. D. Hughes, president of toe United
States Gas and Fuel Company. The stipula-
tions of the contract are exactirg, and
ought to insure a satisfactory furnace.
The contract requires the fu"nac to
perfectly consume and incinerate all kinds
Of garbage, night soil collected by the pail
or commode system, aud to thoroughly
crenate dead animals, and destroy all gases
arising from the combustion of the
materials. The furnace is to be constructed
within ninety days from last Monday, and
to be kept in repair by the
company for five years at
cost to the city not exceeding 500 per
annum, and that it is to operate upon
basis of not less than thirty tons of garbage
daily, delivered within ten h)urs. The cost
Of cremating garbage, animal matter, etc,
is not TO exceed an average of p cents per
ton, the cost to be determined at the explra-
ton OF four weeks run upon an average
daily cost of the last two weeks. A forfeit
of $500 is provided for, for every cent of
cost per ton over 25 cents per ton, to be de-
Quoted from the cost of the furnace.

to pay 5000 for the crematory and Is cents
per ton for the garbage and animal matter
burned during the time of the test The
city reserves the right to remove and dis
pose of the ashes after cremation if it
chooses, or it may require the company to
remove the ashes during the entire time the
furnace is operated by the city. This pro-
vision was embodied in the contract so that
in hn hn oh ha
posed of as a fertilizer, as was represented
by the company, then having no use for
such cremation residue, it will require the
