THE ORANGE TRADE.
An Increase of 5000 Boxes a Year i'm
the Savannah Market-Where the Lus-
ciOus Fruit Comes From.

An Increase of 5000 Boxes a Year in
the Savannah Market-Where the Lus-
cious Fruit Comes From.
The orange trade has fairly opened. and
the luscious fruit is coming in by nearly
every steamer and train. The larger num-
Der of commission merchants are receiv-
ing boxes of the fruit by wholesale. A re-
porter Of the MORNING NEWS made call
yesterday on a few representative dealers
in order to gain some information relative
to the frait.
1.-THE orange trade seems to be gradually
on the increase" remarked the reporter
to the head man of Messrs. T. p. Bond
q Co.
''Yes, sir, the trade in this fruit five
years ago was comparatively small. There
were hardly 5000 boxes brought to this
market. This year Savannah Will handle
$4,000 boxes or more. So you perceive
that within the past five years the trade
has increased at the rate of 5000 year,
and from present indications it looks very
much as if the increase will continue.
Last year our house handled 1900 boxes
of this fruit alone"
HWhere do most Of the oranges come
FROM"
eve get them from all points along the
st. Johns river and the Gulf coast, and
from the orange producing sections of
Florida. The season begins about the
end OF September and continues until the
LIST of May. From carefully prepared
statistics we feel warranted in saying
that the Florida orange is now fast sup
planting the Mediterranean. which for
years has held popularity throughout the
United States"
''What grades are most marketable, and
which are the fayOrites?"
Savannah deals mostly in the medium
grades, such as the 'Russet' and the
Bright owing chiefly to their superior
quality Cor the table and for shipment.
The Mandarin Sicilian and other varie-
ties are chiefly sought after by tourists
and large restaurants. They demand
fancy prices, and are, in consequence,
called the fancy grades. These oranges
are generally shipped upon order from the
groves in Florida or by tourists"
Glow does Savannah compare with
other markets along the coast in the
orange trade?'
There seems to be no question that it is
the best distributing point along the
coast, and, outside of Jacksonville, the
best shipping market on the South At
lantic coast. Her favorable position and
the facilities offered in the shipping line
gives her the advantage over other places"
"What is the capacity of an orange
crate?"
''The general average is about l1j, and
as you see," remarked Mr.. Doyle, the
chief clerk, ''they are sized and securely
packed. If the trade runs up to $4,000
boxes this year 4,375, 500 will have been
handled, which, on an average of 3 cents
apiece, would yield a return of Sl31, go"

THE HAERTEL TRAGEDY.

\ Sensational RumOr Denied by the
JaIler-NO Recent Arrests Made, and
No Fhumbserews Applied to Force a
Concession.
y sensational report was circulated
Yesterday to the effect that Jailer Russell
had captured a negro and two young men,
sons y the negro, for completely in the
Hae--el tragedy, and that when the
thum screws were put to the father he
COMES 5ed and told all about the murder.
Othe- -umors. purpOrting to have been
preGieated upon the arrest of the parties
referred to, were also in circulation, and
the u. bic generally, assuming that the
reports were true, was ready to commend
the officer for his tact in having secured
the authors Of one of the most horrible
and mysterious crimes that has ever Oc-
Cured in this city.
4 MORNING News reporter called al
the a-l last night. and was told that the
rep0r- probably was founded on state
men- which appeared in the MORNING
NEw> few days ago, when II was an
noun Il that Mr.. Russell had captured
four persons CHARGED with completely IN
that crime. The parties referred are still
in custody. but no thumb screws haN e
hlal- -lpliod 70 force confession from
any 81 them, nor have any of them made
a confession. The four negroes arrested
are three men and one woman. They
were placed in Jail week ago to-day. No
other arrests for completely in the murder
have nee been made.

THE CITY WATER SUPPLY.
Over One Hundred Millions of Gallons
Used During September-The Improve
ment in the River Water.

The water supply Of cities has always
been a subject of much study and reflec-
ton among scientists. In a sanitary
point of view there IS probably no ques-
ton of more vital Importance which has
been so thoroughly discussed and ana
lived as the water we drink.
The Savannah river water, it appears,
for the past two years has undergone a
remarkable change, owing no doubt to
the more favorable position of the present
site OF the water works.
Upon recent investigation it appears
that the water undergOes, by some means,
a certain amount of tiltering. owing, it
is claimed, TO the clear white sand banks
through which it passes as it is pumped
up at the works.
During the month of September there
were consumed in the city us, 060, 241 gal
Ions of water, which, if the population is
reckOned at 10000, will give to each per-
son 96.72 gallons per day. In order to sup
ply the city with this amount of water it
was necessary to use 1862 cords of wood.
The consumption for August was only
few gallons less. From the present
date forward the consumption will, it is
stated, be cOrrespOndingly less each
month until the summer season again
sets in. There has been a great deal Of
complaint made regarding the great
waste of water. 1t has been estimated
that over 10000 gallons are unnecessarily
consumed in the city every day.

NEW MOTIVE POWER.

Eight New Locomotives for the Cen
trail RaiIroad-A Busy Scene at the
COmpany's Shops.
There are few institutions in Savan-
nah so thoroughly illustrative of the
city's progress as the machine shops of
the Central Railroad Company. There
all is life and energy. and the busy hum
of wOrkmen and the ringing of the anvil
mingles with the music of hammer and
steel all day long. Here, there, and ev-
erywhere are heard the echoes OF push
and energy in the shaping OF material by
which the great wheels of the road move.
A reporter of the MORNING NEWS
strOlled through these shops yesterday,
and saw a great deal to surprise him.
One of the new moves towards supply
ing the demands of the growth of the
road has been the purchase of eight new
and improved locomotives, built by the
Baldwin Works, weighing thirty-tive tons,
and having cylinders 16X24 inches. Two
of these engines have been delivered at
Macon. being intended for service on the
upper divisions of the road. They are
perfect gems of beauty and power, and
are named the ARIZONA" and the
Dakota" Each one has made her first
trip in the cOmpany's service over the
Columbus. Work on the remaining six,
as well as on the two being built in the
company's shops in this city. is nearing
completion rapidly. Their service is
much needed, owing to the constantly
increasing traffic over the cOmpany's
lines. They will be used in place of the
present 14X24-inch cylindered engines.
The locomotives now building have a
capacity of from thirty to thirty-tiye load
ed freight cars, against a capacity of
from nineteen to twenty-three cars in the
smaller pattern. Three engines Of the
new style are capable OF doing the work
which requires five of the smaller. Three
crews are therefore only needed in the
place of five, and herein lies one of the
elements of saving which results from
the use of large machines.
AS the monthly wages of an engine
crew amounts to about S2l5, the saving of
two salaries will be very considerable
item. The cost of running an engine of
the larger class is much greater than that
of one of the smaller. but not sufficiently
great to cOunterbalance the benefits de-
rived from their use. The new pattern
locomotives will be ready by the LIST of
November, and will be the means of bring
ing about a very decided improvement in
the traffic of the road. They will be able
to carry out Of the freight yard 30 loaded
freight cars, and will make better time
with nearly double the capacity of freight.
