FOUND DEATH IN THE WAVES.
A Colored Woman Suicides from the
CITY of Savannah

CITY OF Savannah
Maria Mercedes Valdes, colored steer
age passenger on the steamship City OF Sa-
vannah, which arrived from New York
yesterday morning, suicided Sunday night
by jumping overheard about nine miles of
Martins Industry lightship, just as the yes=
sci was heading in for Iybee. The woman
was booked for Tampa, Fla When she
went aboard the ship in New York
she was accompanied by young
man, who, after a short conversation with
her, babe her good-by and left.
The woman did not act any way strange,
Capt. Smith said, and she ate heartily
throughout the voyage. Sunday night the
stewardess accompanied her to her room TO
show her the berth and left her in the act
Of taking off her shoes. A few minutes
afterward one Of the firemen' shouted that
the woman had jumped overheard. Capt.
Smith, who was in the pilot house, ordered
the engines stopped, and a boat was low
cred, but it was of no avail, as the woman
was not seen afterward. 1t is believed that
the propeller struck her as the vessel was
not deeply loaded, and with the roll
the propeller came high out Of the water.
There was no known motive for the
suicide to any one aboard Of the vessel, and
it is supposed that the woman was seized
with fit of dependency at leaving her
home and friends, as New York is believed
TO have been her home. Her shoes were
found aboard the vessel whore she left them
She was said to be a married woman, and
was between 40 and As years of age, and of
8 copper colored complexion.
Another story is that when the woman
went aboard the vessel at New York, she
appeared to be much troubled about some
thing, and that when the announcements
was made that the vessel would soon be at
Tybee she seemed to be insane, and rushing
to the side of the ship, she jumped into the
sea before any one could stop her.

The Canvass for Stock Subscriptions
to Begin To-day.
The South Bound people are not asleep,
but are preparing to finish up their SUBJ
scriptions preparatory to putting things in
shape to get the road under way.
Mr.. Herman Myers, president of the

soliciting subscriptions to the capital stock
of the road and it proposes to push the can
vass and complete it within a week
or ten days at the farthest Quite
number Of large subscriptions
were received on the former canvass, which
was suspended to give the citizens com
mittee a chance to raise the fund for the
Savannah, Americas and Montgomery
road, but as that seems to have come to a
standstill the South Bound committee pro-
pose to wait no longer
Mr.. Myers said That if the citizens of
Savannah show their confidence in the
South Bound project by liberal subscrip-
tions to the stock of the road, it is proposed
to begin the work of building the road at
once
what interest are the South Carolina
folks taking in the enterpriSeF Mr.. Myers
was asked
THE canvass in South Carolina for stock
subscriptions he replied, "has been quite
successful and very nearly $4,000 so far
have been subscribed there, and all rights of

will run have been donated The city
councils of Allendale, Barnwell, Blackville
and Columbia, and Che town councils of all
the towns along the proposed line have
given rights Of way through their Streets
Mr.. Myers went on to say that the
projectors Of the enterprise are confident
| that the building Of the South Bound will
open at least 200 miles of additional terri
tory to Savannah merchants to dispose of
their merchandise and to draw supplies of
cotton, naval stores and lumber. Besides
