FLOWERS THAT BLOOM.
ELORA'S FAVORITE BEAUTIES
THAT SMILE IN WINTER.

SOCiety's Heavy Demands OF a Not Very
Well Stocked Market-ROses Scarce
and Prices High-The Flower Crop Set
Back by the January Freeze and Not
Yet Recovered.
The florists have had hard winter OF
it in some respects. There has been a
comparative scarcity OF almost every kind
OF flowers, and especially OF roses. What
there were, though, were sold at prices
high enough TO make up for the losses
the growers sustained during the cold
weather.
No society event can take place without
a generally lavish display Of flowers, and
the present season Of balls gives this
always interesting subject more than or
binary Importance.
1.-The January blizzard knocked us
all out" said leading florist yes
terday. ''The roses and flowers in the
greenhouses were not frozen Of course,
but they were put back by the
severe cold and made the season late.
Everything has recuperated now. though,
and during the rest ol the winter season,
short as it will be. we shall be better able
to supply the demand, which We have not
been able to do since the holidays"
The promise of the early season was
that the market would be filled this win
ter with roses. The greenhouses were
in splendid condition and all the growers
were looking for fine crops, but like all
other vegetation the flower crop was set
back by the severe cold weather. OF the
many roses grown here the
Bennett IS perhaps, just at
this season, the scarcest. Although
late in blooming it is an advantage TO this
rose that, unlike many other red roses, its
color is constant and its foliage good, so
that when it does bloom it makes hand
some bud. 1t is selling now at So dozen.
The Jacqueminots are very nearly as
scarce AS the Bennett, aud are selling at
the same price. They are now neither as
hne nor as cheap as they will be later.
The Marechal Mel and La France roses
are also scarce, and sell at the same
prices as the Jacks" and BENEFITS.
TIE Perle DIES Jardins closely resembles
the Mel, except in its foliage, and sells at
the same price.
That uncertain rose, the Catherine
Mermet, sells at 10 cents piece, and its
small, pale buds are much sought for.
Bon Silenes, SafranOs and the Sunset
rose are all selling at the same price, ST.
a dozen.
Other hybrid roses are in scanty supply
at prices ranging from 81 to 81 so dozen.
They are large roses, in shades of pink,
and are marked by their strong stems and
robust, abundant foliage. 1t is quite the
fashion now, florists say, to wear a single
hybrid rose, with its own foliage, as a
belt bouquet.
The market is but fairly we'll supplied
with dubious rooted flowers. The most
popular of these is the hyacinth, which
sells at 10 cents truss. These have been
constantly in market since about New
Years. NiOlets are scarce, and the
punches are very small. few gerani-
ums are also in market. All sell at the
same price as the hyacinths, the gerani-
ums being 10 cents truss and volets 10
cents bunch. Camelias are very scarce
and readily bring 81 dozen. In about a
month or six weeks. when the dubious
flowers are in full bloom, the market will
be better supplied.

BOARDED BY PIRATES.
The Schooner St. Helena Captured in
American Waters.


American Waters.
Pirates and piracy are generally re-
garded as things of the past. This morn.
ing, however, Philip Guilmartin, of Bryan
county, will have hearing before United
States Commissioner Isaac Beckett, on
the charge OF robbery and piracy.
The warrant on which Guilmartin was
arrested, charges that he did on Feb. II,
on the waters of a creek within the ebb
and flow Of the tide, fOrcibly enter duly
licensed vessel named the st. Helena, and
did by force aud arms commit the crime
Of robbery and piracy upon the vessel
and did compel the Master TO pay to Gull
martin SIS.
The defendant IS a Magistrate OF Bryan
county. Capt. Andrew Brandberg, the
master Of the st. Helena, told his story to
the commissioner in q broken Swedish
tongue. He stated that on Wednesday,
Feb. IT, while he was longing for oysters
IN a creek of the Midway river, Guilmar-
TN went on board Of the vessel and COM
PEELED him the master to stop catching
oysters. and 60 up the river some distance
with his vessel. He was ordered by the
magistrate TO put what oysters he
had on shore. The Justice then
fined him $50. The Swede handed out
SIG, which he said was all he had. Gull
mafLln gave 81 Oack ana kept the Otner
$l5. Before dismlssing the Captain the
magistrate made him promise TO send
him the remaining SIS as soon as possible.
in order that the money should not mis-
carry, the magistrate gave Capt. Brand
berg two envelopes addressed to ''Philip

BARKs IN COLLISION.

The Norwegian Bark LatOna Oollidea
With the English Bark Brimiga.
Between two and three O'Clock yester.
day afternoon a collision occurred in the
river between the British bark Brimiga
and the Norwegian bark Latona. Both
vessels had cleared and were ready fol
sea. The Brimiga was lying ahead OF the
Latona, at the Savannah. Florida and
Western Railway wharves. The Latona
had her bowsprit out full length, and her
lines had just been cast loose preparatory
TO her moving out from the berth to &c
down the river. The steamship Tallahas-
see passed by and the suction OF the
steamer caused the Latona to ride forward
on TO the stern Of the Brimiga, carrying
away the latter's stern railing but doing
no other damage. The damage will be
covered by $40 or $50, which will be paid
by the IatOna.

Judge Emory Speer granted orders yes

sherrod of Emanuel county, and Joseph
Delk, OF Camden county. sherrod carried
ON distillery on small scale at his home,
and he was charged with doing some
Illicit disabling and allowing ungauged
brandy to be removed from the
still. He plead guilty January 4, 1886,
and was sentenced to be imprisoned in
Chatham county jail for two months and
pay Sue Of 500 and costs Of prosecu-
ton.
Delk IL the colored preacher who sup
piled his flock with spirituous comfort,
In tbg order for Sherrod's discharge 1t
was steted that the court was informed
that this conduct of the defendant during
his Imprisonment has been good; that he is
wholly unable TO pay the fine or the fine
and costs; that his family, consisting of a
wife and several children, are now in a
state of great restitution, and that the
presence of the husband and father, az
the planting season approaches, is neces-
sary to prevent great loss 20 him. His
longer Imprisonment would probably
further aggravate the destitute and

the defendant entering into recognizance

tried and found guilty Nov. "a. Judge
Speer sentenced HIM to five months i'm

sour JOAN" with Rose Coghlan in the
title role, was the attraction at the Thea
ire last night. 1t was the first appear
ance OF Miss Coghlan in Savannah, and
she was given an enthusiastic reception.
The audience was generously apprecia-
tive both of the artists and the play. The
piece is an emotional drama. It's heroine
is a fisher girl who has distinguished her.
self in saving human life upon the stormy
and perilous seacoast OF Cornwall. In
the frst act she Is wOoed by Young aris-
tOcrat, aud the curtain falls upon their
betrOthal. In the second act the dissen-
tIent seeds Of jealousy are sown between
these two, and the wife, maddened by a
false charge Of infdelity, leaves her hus-
band and departs in the company Of her
brother. In the third act the husband
vainly seeks reconciliation with his
wife, and, when this is refused, he puts to
sea In a storm, his boat is dashed to
pieces and he is saved by his wife; and
80, at last, they are happily reunited.
As the simple, warm-hearted fisher
girl, Miss Coghlan won the favor OF the
audience and kept 1t till the play ended.
At the close OF the second act she was re-
called, and when the curtain rolled down
at the end of the play the audience
would not leave the theatre until she APP
peared in response to the continued
applause. The closing scene of the last
act-the storm-Where Joan in the life

not knowing that it was he, was one of the
strongest and best sea scenes ever put
on the stage here. Miss Coghlan has a
strong support, including MIR. Fraser

McManus as "Martin Trevenna," Miss
Florence Robinson as "Lady Ruth" and
Miss Emma HagRer as "Allce Pengelly.'
