PLAYING HIDE AND SEEK.
The Gulf Cyclone Battles the Signal
Officers to Locate 1t.

There was a rumor yesterday that the
cyclone which has been playing at hide-and =
go-seek in the gulf had struck jacksonville,
but it was unfounded. The cyclone re-
turned to the Florida coast Friday night.
1t struck Titusville, and blew there at the
rate of fifty miles an hour. Yesterday
morning the wind velocity, at s O'Clock,
was thirty-sx miles an hour. From there
it moved northwest, across the peninsula,
aud became central off Cedar Keys. The
wires were down yesterday afternoon and
last night, and nothing could be heard from
there as to the velocity of the wind or the
damage, and also the area which marked
the storm path in crossing the peninsula.
The eye one seems to have baffled the sig
nal office at Washington, for it resolutely
refused to 20 where the chief signal officer
blazed the way for it, At 1890 O'Clock
yesterday the cautionary signals were
hoisted on the post-ofiice building on the
following order;
Observer, SdUdPnoh.
Hoist cauionary northeast signals, Savannah
ami Savannah sections Storm apparently
central, east Of northern Florida. Dangerous
winds will prevail to-day on the East Florida
aud Georgia coasts. storm northeast signals
are hulsteI at Jacksonville and Jacksonville
sections. GREELY
At 5 O'clock the red flag with the black
center, indicating the approach of a storm
of marked violence, was hoisted in place Of
the yellow flag ON the receipt of the fol
lowing:
wAsHISeToS, sept, 8, 1888, 1;55 P. NJ,
Observer, Sdvdnnah.
Change cAutionary northeast TO storm north
eGst savannah Savannah section Storm cen
tral in q 'thern Florida; increa ing in energy;
apparently moving northward; dangerous gales
are anticipated for the South Atlantic coast.
GREEIY.
At 1920 O'Clock last night the following
was received from the Washington signal
offl"e, but Observer Dansen di not feel
authorized 20 take down the storm" signal
without further instructions;
WASHINGTON, D. c., Sept. g.
Observer, Savannah.
The severe storm which was central at Cedar
Keys this afternoon has apparently lost energy,
and the reports from neiSnboring stations show
no dangerous winds.
Il is believed that the cyclone has again
gone off north westerly over the gulf. The
barometer is very low on the gulf coast,
and fell last night from 30 OF to ~ 9S.
Yesterday was warmer than the day be-
fore, the humid atmosphere making the
heat more oppressive. the mean tempera-
ture was II, al increase over that of Fri
day of l. There was a marked decrease of
rainfall, fall of 90 incnes being recorded
for Savannah, a decrease over the rainfall
Of Friday of SO inches. The average rain
fall for the ten static of the Savannah dis
'rict wa, 10 inches, decrease by cOmpar-
son with the day previous of 90.
The indications for to-day are lieht rains
stationary temperature on the coast.

RICE PLANTERS IN FEAR.
THE RIVER FREsHET DUE HERE
NEXT WEEK.

! The Conditions not as Unfavorable as
Last Year and the Early Crop Be-
lieved to be Safe-The Wet Weather
Causing the Grain to Sprout 49, AS
Mucn Danger from That as from the
Freshet.
The rice planters were looking very blue
yesterday, not that they feared freshet so
much as they do continuation of unset
tied weather. The high water, however,
the Carolina planters say, will flood about
all the rice fields near the head of Argyle
island, above the freshet dam. They can
stand only about %. 9 feet, and advices from
Augusta last night show that the water has
reached % feet 8 inches. This would indi-
cate the flooding of all the rice fields in the
vicinity of Argyle island.
The Potter plantation, Winkler's planta-
ton, Of 300 acres in rice, aud what is known
as the "Oid Read plantation, near the
Charlie ton and Savannah railroad bridge,
can hardly escape, as the the present rise is
coming on top Of a second rise Of q teet.
If these are submerged, Lynch's plantation
will not escape. The plantations above
Argyle island and below the freshet dam
above the city say that they can stand from
20 to 2S feet This, it appears, is what may
be considered the danger line, and that
NOT LIKE LAST YEAR
The conditions are not as unfavorable as
last year, when the river at Augusta reached
80 feet and fraction on Aug O. and 80 feet
on Aug. 10. The long continued drought
this year dried the swamps, and when The
September rains came it did not find any
great volume of water in the lowlands
The freshet banks are in q much better con
diuion this year than last, and the ind,ca-
tions are that a rise of IS feet at Augusta
now, wit no heavy winds, would not be as
disastrous TO planters as under existing cir
cumstances year ago.
The freshet will not reach tho rice fields
above the CITY short Of eight DAYS. and If
the weather clears UP it will enable planters
to get the most OF tle March, April and first
of Ma PANT ings out of the fields. About
one half of The grain Is cut, and half of
that shocked, the other half of the cut
grain is lying Oh the stubble. The heavy
winds and rains have damaged the mn
shocAed graf very much. and every hour
tends TO make the loss greater. not only in
the quality OF the grain saved. but loss in
qua itity. It has begun to surout badly. If
it should lie clear TO day there will be great
activity in the rice fields. as there was in

SHIPPING PEACHES SOUTH.
Northern Fruit Being Brought to the
Savannah Market.

Northern Fruit Being Brought to the
Savannah Market.
For the past ten days Maryland peaches
have been on the Savannah market. This
is the first season that northern peaches
have ever been shipped south. The last
shipment was about 100 baskets and they
retailed readily at 81 IS and 81 So The deal
ers here say that the northern shippers have
not secured as good rates as they will get,
and such rates as they will have to get, in
order to make shipping fruit to this market
profitable.
The express companies will not make
special rates on fruit to any point unless by
special contract the shipper agrees to ship
not less than 100 pounds at each shipment
The Baltimore shippers have not secured
such rates and the fruit which has been on
the market for toe past few days is netting
them tut little more than express charges.
The dealers say that 1t is merely an expert
ment on the part of the northern shippers,
and if it pans out well, Savannah NAV look
for a large quantity of northern fruit next
season.
The fruit that is being shipped here now
is of the yellow freestone variety. While
it is inferior to the peaches grown in this
state, it is put on the market when the
peach crop here is over and brings fair
price. All shipments to this market are
made on consignment.
