THE s., A. AND M. EXTENSION.
It VIII Be Pushed Into Savannah
Soon.

Soon.
The visit of Messrs. Hombleton & Sperry
Of Baltimore to Savannah in company
with General Manager Gabbett of the Sa-
vannah, Americas and Montgomery road,
after trip over the road,
has revived interest in the proposed ex-
tension Of the road to Savannah. The
presence of Afessrs. Hombleton and Sper-
ry here was announced in yesterdays
Morning News. They represent the bond
holders, and have been at a meeting in
Americas, which a number of large bond
holders attended.
Now that the sale of the Savannah,
Americas and Montgomery railroad has
been ordered. steps will at once be taken
by the bOndholders to improve and develop
the property so soon as the transfer is
effected, and the road is wholly in their
hands. 1t is indeed a bright era that is
dawning for the Savannah, Americas and
Montgomery, and Americas. There will
be no change for the present, of course,
but after Feb. %, the date appointed for
the sale, improvements all along the line
Will be instituted.
The Americas Times Recorder regards
1t foregone fact that the road will be
extended to Savannah Immediately upon
conclusion of the sale in February. Then,
too, it is strongly limited that the extern
sion of the Montgomery, Tuscaloosa and
Memphis TO Meridian, Miss, there con-
Meeting with the Illinois Central, is among
the probabilities. This road, in connection
with the Savannah, Americus and Mont
gomery, would make a great through
route from the west to the Atlantic ocean.
II might be arranged, also, to bring the
Columbus Southern and Georgia Southern
and Florida into the new system, the
Savannah, Americas and MONTGOMERY
bondholders being largely interested in the
Georgia Southern and Florida road as
Well. Whatever may be determined
upon, the Recorder says, "in the
near future, will accrue to the advantage
OF Americus, which will continue to be
the roads headquarters for a long while
II not permanently. The owners of the
road nave other valuable properties here

vancement of Americas and her every in

THIS IS A BUSY WEEK.
Merchants Putting on Their Best Smiles
for Customers Now.


This week will be busy week with the
merchants. So far the holiday shopping
has been light. People have been looking
and thinking what they would buy. While
everybody buys something for Christmas
the hard times have kept them from buy
ing as much as they have brought in pre-
vious years.
Christmas comes just one week
from tomorrow. There are seven
more days for shopping, and it is safe to
say they will be made the most Of The
show windows will look their prettiest
this week, and the merchants and sales
men have been saving their best smiles
for their customers the next few days
The weather indications are not the most
encouraging for to-day and tomorrow, but
there are rlmors of a cool wave which
may come along later in the week. If it
does it will help the holiday season amaz-
ingly.

A LIFE SAVER.
What 1t Means to Be Surfman-Hard-
ship and Injury His Chief Reward.

From the Woonsocket (R. u Reporter.
One midwinter night, in Ia fblinding
snow storm, Capt Arthur L. Nickerson. in
command of the gallant little schooner
Allen Green. ran out from Vineyard sound
before the northeast gale and made for the
open sea. The storm was at its hight
when the wind shifted so suddenly that
before the skipper realized his situation
his ears caught the sound of the breakers
booming on Point Judith's treacherous
shore
Fifteen minutes after the Allen Green
struck, Capt. Herbert NJ. Knowles crew
of hardy life savers had begun the work
of rescue. Capt Nickerson, when brought
ashore was in a pitiabe condition. As
he later stated in his official report of the
disaster {see government reporO made
to Supt. Kimball of the life saving SER
vice, Il suffered much from cramps and
pains caused by the bruises received be-
fore l went ashore, having been at the
wheel fifteen hours continuously. "
The life savers wrapped the brave young
sailor in warm blankets and gave him
Pain Killer freely. The famous old rem
edy accomplished an immediate relief
and Capt. Nickerson slept as peacefully
as child that night and awolSe next
morning in a condition to face another
tempest. If necessary. He feels that the
prompt use of Pain Killer after his fear
full experience rescued him from unut-
terable suffering and even saved his life
Brave Capt Knowles is now assistant
superintendent of the life saving district
He says the life savers all use Pain Killer
and considers it the best and most relia-
BILE 'an-around" remedy they can have by
them.
Capts. Asa Church of Point Judith sta
ton; Albert Church of Narragansett Pier;
Davis at Watch Hill; Saunders at Quono-
chontaug-and their gallant crews, indorse
Capt. Knowles in his unstinted praise of
Pain Killer as an invaluable remedy for
emergencies encountered in daily ,life.-ad.

LEVY IN A NEW soRAPE.
He Manipulates a White Stone and a
. Pawn Ticket.


. Pawn Ticket.
Isidore Levy, who gained considerable
notoriety in connection with cases made
by him against Sunday liquor sellers. has
gotten into rather novel scrape. Levy
went into an auction store one night last
week. He was not like the stranger
whose adventures ION the Bowery" are
so frequently heard of. His eyes were
wide open and he knew what he was there
for. A white stone. termed by courtesy
a diamond, was put up at auction and
Levy bid it in for 81. He bought the
stone as an investment, however, and not
for ornament. He Immediately went to
Muhlberg's pawn shop where he succeed
ed in pawning the stone for s.. The next
day Levy met Dave Rothschild and sold
him the pawn ticket for 81. The latter
went and got the stone. paying the pawn
broker 60 cents interest. This made the
total cost OF the stone to him, T.65.
Rothschild met Levy the next day and
seemed well pleased with his purchase.
He said he had an offer of SO for the
stone, but was holding il for S15. He soon
discovered that he had been cheated, how
ever, and came back on Levy and de-
manded his money back Levy said he
only sold him the pawn ticket, and if he
did not get what he thought he was get
ting, it was his own lookout He offered
to compromise by paying Rothschild back
the 81 which he had paid for his pawn
ticket Rothschild threatened to have
Levy arrested for cheating and swindling,
but had not done so at last accounts.
Levy. who told the story to a Morning
News reporter, seemed to be in high glee
at the manner in which he had worked
the trick

There have been many interesting issues
before the rate committee of the Southern
Passenger Association held in New York
for the last two or three days. The ques-
ton of special privileges to winter tour
lists to Florida came up, and II has been
decided to give them all manner of con-
cessions in the way of stop-over privileges
here and there en- route to Florida. Many
of the leading passenger agents in the
south were at the rate meeting in New
York. The rate committee of the South
ern Passenger Association has nothing to
do with the questions that have lately
caused the differences that have grown
up among the members of the association,
but it is thought that something will be
done at this meeting of the passenger
agents that will have a tendency to bring
about an adjustment between the roads
that are at outs.

Amabisca.-In Yuma, Wednesday
 May 3rd, 1894, Senor Jose
 Felipe Amabisca, aged 64 years.
 It is with deep regret that we are called upon to record the death of Senor Amabisca. Occur ring so soon after the death of another of Yuma's pioneers make it doubly sad. Senor Amabisca came of one of the best families of Sonora, Mex, and at an early age went to California to live. In the year of 1858, in company with several other Mexican families he crossed the great Colorado desert to Yuma and on arriving here went in to the mining business which he followed with various success until old age and sickness called him to his final rest. Funeral services were held in the Catholic church at , o'clock Thursday evening. His re- mains were laid to rest in the Cath ollie cemetery. He leaves a widow and six children to mourn his death.
