TRUCK MEN HARD HIT.
They Will Lose Heavily by the Break
of the Railroads.

of the Railroads.
The shippers OF vegetables are in the
dumps over the interruption to railroad
traffic. They made heavy shipments Of
vegetables by rail Wednesday, Thursday
and Friday of last week, and as they have
reeeived no eastern mail since Friday they
do not know whether any of the shipments
went through. They have lingering hopes
that the Wednesday shipments reached the
northern market, but have little hope of
Thursday and Friday shipments. The perish
able character of the vegetables makes the
shippers feel that their loss will be heavy,
and if the Wednesday shipment went
through, which is doubted, there are likely
to be losses on beans, which were shipped
largely, as beans have badly broken. The
Geographic reports yesterday being as low
as from 20 cents to 81.
Messrs. Hart Bros. who shipped heavily
by rail Wednesday and Friday, said last
night that they expected to lose both ship
ments. Anticipating rise in the market
by reason of the interruption to
railroad traffic, they made large ship
ments of beans by Saturdays Philanelphia
steamer and by Sundays New York
steamer and yesterdays telegraphic advces
as to prices were discouraging. 1t appears
that the North Carolina and Norfolk beans
have glutted the markets. As no mails
have been received, no returns have been
had by shippers from the shipments by
steamer.
While the bean market has broken, pota-
toes still command good prices, and are
selling readily at from S. so to So per bar
rel, and cucumberS So per crate. Tomatoes
will begin to 60 forward lively next week,
and are expected to bring So per crate
The Atlantic Coast Line has resumed the
receipt of vegetables, and will send all
truck for the north over the Norfolk and
Western from Petersburg to Norfolk, and
thence by the New York, Philadelphia and
Norfolk railroad to New York.

IN AND ABOUT THE CITY.
SHE Is MRS. J. ELMoRs CRAIG.
That is What the Jury Decided Last
Night.

Night.
The jury in the Craig alimony case, in
the superior court. retired at z o'clock last
night and after being out only few min
utes, returned with verdict for the plain
tiff, which was that Ida Emily Smith is the
lawful wife of j. Elmore Craig.
This was as far as the jury could go, as
tne alimony question must come up here
after. The prerequisite was first TO estab-
llsh the relations between the plaintiff and
defendant. and this the court charged.
The general opinion of those who heard
the testimony was that the preponderance
OF evidence was on the side of the girl in
the case, and one of the jurymen said last
night to MORNING NEWS reporter that he
was sure on his conscience that a Just YER
dict had been rendered.
The defense was represented by s. B.
Adams. Esq, whose address to the jury
was ingenious as his conduct of the case
was jealous Not only did he Eote many
exceptions, but he gave notice to the court
that he would require the charge to the
jury reduced to writing Later in the pro-
gress of the case he withdrew the demand
and the court briefly charged the jury on
the law, and no exceptions were taken by
counsel
1t is rumored that if the case does not go

made by the defendant for divorce, upon
grounds which will render the trial a sen
satlonal one. The now declared wife, if
such course be taken, it is said, will not
only be amply able to establish her charac-
ter beyond dispute, and introduce testimony
tending to reflect upon the motive which
prompted Craig to marry her, which it is
said could have been, but was not used in
the trial of the last two days.
William Pease, Esq, counsel for the girl,
made rather remarkable pleading for his
client. 1t was at times eloquent, often
punctuated with quaint phrases which
elected general laughter and was peculiarly
remarkable for the courtesy to opposing
counsel and the defendant. TOE speeches
of both counsel occupied the greater part
of the afternoon, and were listened to with
great deal ofsinterest by those attracted
by the nature of the suit.
The principal line of defense was that
some one personated Craig in the marriage
with the girl Smith at Charleston, and he
denied the authorship of a letter written on
type writer to Mr.. Riggs at Charleston,
asking him to send on the certificate of
marriage, and thanking him for the courte-
sizes extended himself and Ida on their trip
to South Carolina Mr.. Riggs was wit
ness to the marriage of Craig and Ida, and
the "trip to Charleston" referred to was the
one made when the litigants were married
a year ago. Young Craig denied emphati-
cally upon his oath that he ever married
the girl, but the jury took different view
OF the case.

tributing to the city treasury rather than
work on the bitches for the county.

last night on a charge of the larceny of a
watch, handkerchief and pipe from Peter
Rowland.

ing under an old shed on Randolph street,
when his slumber was broken by the de-
scent Of the officer upon him.

GEN. ALEXANDER EXPLAINS IT.
The Big Mortgage Preliminary Step
to the Eden Extension.

~-~~SAA
Gen. Alexander, president of the Central
railroad, was asked yesterday by a MORN
ING NEWS reporter what was meant by the
big mortgage recorded in the superior court
last week. He replied that it is the first
step looking to the construction of the Eden
extension. He added that the outlook is
favorable for following up that preliminary
step by the negotiation of bonds, which will
insure the funds for the building of the
road
Yesterday was the regular day for the
June meeting of the Central directory, but
as some of the members are absent from the
city the meeting was postponed until to-
morrow.
Gen. Alexander said that he believes he is
the first to get through from New York
since the interruption to travel by the floods
in the north. Maj. Belknap, who left
twenty-four hours sooner, did not reach Sa-
vannah until day later. Maj. Belknap
says he left New York Friday night. a
thing he would not have done had the New
York evening papers published the news of
the disasters to the railroads
