wATRRME1oNs RUSHING IN
The Crop Larger Than Has Ever Been
Known-The Peach Season.

The Crop Larger Than Has Ever Been
Known-The Peach Season.
The Florida watermelons which have been
pouring into Savannah by the carload for
the last month are beginning to drop off, and
by July | they will not be in the Savan-
nah market at all The dealers attribute
their dropping off to the large crop of Geor-
gia melons that has begun to come in.
Mr.. j. s. Collins said yesterday that the
shipments of melons from Florida to
Savannah this season is unprecedented.
The first carload that was put on
the market three weeks ago, sold outright
for Sl54 80. The Florida melon is meeting
ready market here now, at from S75 to
$lOO per carload. Sanford, Richland and
wildwood are the principal points in Florida
that supply this market These points have
shipped this season between 200 and 6,000
melons to Savannah, and have realized on
an average not less than $50 to 800 per car.
Owing, however, to the difference in freight
to Savannah from the Georgia and Florida
melon growing section, the Florida melon
will be forced out of the market leaving
the field open to the Georgia product.
Savannah consumes in the course OF a
season 100000 melons, the greater portion
of which are Georgia raised. When more
than that number are on the market
melons are at discount When the season
for Georgia melons, which is just opening,
comes, they will be sold from the car as
they arrive. The dealers are fearful that
the market will be glutted this season
owing to the immense acreage. 1t is esti-
mated that the crop will be fully one-third
larger than that of last year, and as Sa-
vannah is rapidly becoming the fruit mar
ket Of Georgia, it is thought that more
melons will be received here than will find
purchasers.
1.-THE people are finding OUT said Mr.
Collins, shat the home market is turning
them in more actual cash for their produce,
and they are patronizing it more freely.
Savannah is in the lead of the southern
markets, and the fact is becoming known
throughout the fruit district. AS result
she receives the bulk of the fruit crop mar
keted in the SOUTH"
The principal points at which melons are
grown for the Savannah market are Gus
ley, Quitman and Valdosta, on the Savan-
nah, Florida and Western railroad
Over 200 bushels of peaches were re-
ceived yesterday by Messrs. Champion,
Putzel and other dealers. This fruit found
an active market, and at So'clock last night
the entire lot had been disposed of at from
81 so to 81 per busheL
The late crop will not be as large as the
one that preceded it, and peaches will no
doubt bring better prices at the closing
than at the beginning of the season.

VALUE OFTHE BATH.
The Best Way to Battle and the Best
Time for Additions.
From the Philadelphia Press.

From the Philadelphia Press.
There is difference enough between the
hasty 'wash," and thorough bathing which
deserves consideration. For young women
in good flesh, the cold bath may be the most
agreeable and best. But in case of languor,
pallor and stiffness of limbs, take tine hot
bath, quite as hot as the skin can bear, and
rendered more cleansing with ammonia or
borax. Remain in it ten minutes, TO let the
skin absorb the water, soaking off the old
layer, softening and stimulating the new
growth, and supplying the joints. Keep
the water hot while taking thorough scrub
with good soap, then let it run clear, adding
lavender or any pleasant toilet water for a
refreshing lave. Keep the head wet in cool
water, If any sense of fullness there is felt
The wiping should be with warm towels
to lose none of the stimulating heat which
sends the blood coursing through the veins,
renewing worn tissues, and carrying away
Instructions.
The hot bath, well followed in other
things, actually leads to growth in stature,
no matter what the age, before the decline
of life. The power to grow again, which
DR.. Weir Mitchell says often follows ter
rible typhoid or yellow fever. adding half
an inch to height in six months, may be
gained without such fearful risks by the
same strict attention to health which marks
the convalescent, aided by the hot bath
The best way for busy people is to take the
bath between and 0 in the evening, put on
clean clothes and go straight to bed, to read
and rest till sleepy. II is the early sleep and
the bath sleep which makes women young.

Atlanta won its second game from Saw

lead though, and they have as good chance
for the penannt as any club in the league.
Columbus is good second in the race, with
Atlanta third. Augusta is still at the
bottom. In fact there has been
no change in the relative positions of the
club since the season opened. This week
there is likely to be some sharp playing

A Constable,s Bad Fix.

AS Policeman Sheehan was preparing to
go on duty yesterday afternoon at o'clock,
he saw a large crowd collecting on Brough-
ton street, near Montgomery. Going across
the street, he found two negroes engaged in
a desperate fight. With some difficulty he
separated them, and was in the act of
marching them both to the barracks, when
he was informed that one of them was a
constable at Magistrate Sheftalls office and
was endeavoring to arrest the other for
cursing and 'maltreating a party who had
applied at the office to have warrant
issued for him. Policeman Sheehan then
turned the negro, whose name was Edward
Middleton, over to Dan Cohen, the negro
constable, and started TO leave them, when
Middleton jerked loose from Cohen and re-
newed his attack on him, and Policeman
Sheehan again arrested Middleton and
marched him off 20 the barracks, where he
was entered on the books for fighting and
resisting an officer.

AN IMPORTANT DECISION.
Lucretia Jones Doubly Estopped from
a Second Dover.

Lucretia Jones Doubly EstOpped from
Second Dover.
In the superior court yesterday in grant
ing the motion for a new trial in the Jones
dover case, Judge Adams went very deeply
into the case. Lucretia Jones, a colored
woman who claimed to have been married
to Simon Jones, although unmarried to
him, obtained dover in trust in his estate,
which jury confirmed. In the trial of the
case it was shown that previous to the
death of Jones she had asked and obtained
a dover in trust in the estate of one Moody,
in another county. The legal wife of Jones
resisted the dover granted in the estate of
her husband, and asked for a new trial and
the court in granting it, ruled as follows:
Careful reflection leads us to the acceptance
OF the following conclusions:
The proceedings whereby, In April 1877, this
applicant obtained a years support as the
widow of Willis Moody, estops the assertion of
her present claim to dover as the widow of
Charles or Simon Jones
II the applicant is not estopped from the as
sertiOn of a marital relation with Jones, and If
this assertion is supported by the facts, then
her relations with Moody were adulterous, and
as the result thereof she has forfeited her right
TO dover. Wherefore, the verdict in her favor
is contrary TO the law and the evidence, and on
this ground we are constrained to set it aside.

AN UNBxP ECrED sORTIE.
The Busch zouaves Show their Mettle
by a Bayonet Charge

The Busch zouaves Show their Mettle
by a Bayonet Charge.
An amusing episode occurred on Bull
street in front of the Screven house a night
or two ago, which was enjoyed by the crowd
that was gathered aboit the hotel ard by
those who stopped to witness it. The
Busch Zouaves were formed on the east
side of Bull street going through the
manual OF arms when a company of colored
zouaves, outnumbeFing the former, but
composed of lads of about the same age,
marched down, and brushed against the
white boys, crossing over and forming on
the west side of Bull. Capt. Marmelstein,
commanding the Busch, took no apparent
notice Of it but brought his
company to parade rest and slipped
off, going on Broughton street, where he
found policeman and reported the matter
to him and asked If his company couldn't
charge the colored troops. The officer, who
had rather listlessly heard the complaint,
gave an affirmative answer without a gen.
eral idea Of what Msrmelstein had asked,
thinking it probably no more than consent
to drill in front of the Screven house. Mar
melstein hurried back, b ought his company
to shoulder arms and gave the command to
forward march Leading his command
within 10 feet of the sable column he gave
the command, Charge bayonets; forward,
march," And march they did, to the utter
CONSERVATION Of the colored troops,
who broke ranks, stampeded and fed
singly and In pairs, in viola
ton of well regulated military discipline,
to the amusement of the crowd and the
chagrin of the captain, who thinking dis
erection the better part of valor, fed with as
much agility as his command. Amid the
cheers of the spectators the Busch Zouaves
returned in good order and continued their
exhibition drill without further molestation.
They had not lost a man, and if any of the
enemy were hurt, it was from the exercise

a wen Patronlzed Dry Goods House.
The above can justly be applied to the
reliable house of Crohan & Dooner For
the past two weeks the ladies of Savannah
have been afforded the opportunity of pur-
chasing Dry Goods at manufacturers
prices, and from the crowds that have con-
tlnually thronged the store of Crohan &,
Dooner, they have certainly taken advan-
tage OF it. This house has tatlished for
themselves the reputation for reliability
and when they advertise or represent any
thing as being bargains, the public readily
appreciate the fact and show their conf
dence, as has been demonstrated for the
past two weeks.
Ladies who are in need of anything in
the Dry Goods line and who wish to save
money VIII do well TO give them call, as
there are still great many goods To- bo
closed out. Sale will continue for two
weeks longer.

felt no bad effects from the wound.

which had crawled under the house and was
bowling dismally.

HOLDING OFFICERS AT BAY.
An Execution Levied Under Dif1cul
ties,

An amusing story is going the rounds,
which shows the difficulties of making levies.
1t appears that Deputy Sheriff Higgins, an
officer of Justice Reynolds court, attempted
to make levy last week on the chattels of
a Mrs Werner, on Price street. The shop
keeper armed herself and forbade the levy
at the lannon's mouth. The officer re-
treated in the general confusion created by
the crying children without executing the
levy. The next day Constable Sullivan, of
Justice Elsinger's court, armed with an ex-
ecution, made his appearance in Mrs. Wer-
ner's barroom, and when ne attempted to
make the levy, he was told that he could
not do it, and he was confronted with a
drawn weapon. He told the woman to
shoot, so the story goes, but some one dis
armed her, and4Sullivan marched off with
the goods and whole skin.
