FLORIDA'S ORANGE CROP.
1t is Estimated Now at Two Million
Boxes-The Fruit to Be Fine.

1t is Estimated Now at Two Million
Boxes-The Fruit to Be Fine
NJ. H. Connolly. Florida freight agent of
the Louisville and Nashville railroad and of
the Nashville, Chattanooga and ST. Louis
railway, estimates the Florida orange crop,
from advices he has received from the
orange growing section of the state, at
100000 boxes. During the blooming
season it was estimated that the crop
would reach 100000 boxes, but the
long drought caused fully two-thirds of ths
fruit in some sections to drop off, and the
highest conservative estimate that is now
made is 1000 600 boxes.
Last years crop, which early in the
season was estimated at $3.50, 900 boxes,
hardly reached 2,000,O 900 boxes. The
bearing acreage this year is about
five per cent. greater than il was last
year, and it was partly on this increase in
acreage that the estimate for the increase
il the crop was made. The drought,
however, played havoc with the gro wers.
The quality of the fruit, so far as it can be
judged, will be fine. Blight is the only
thing that the growers fear now. The first
of the crop will be gathered the latter part
Of next month and the first part Of
October, when shipping in small lots Will
begin, but the carload shipments will not
begin to move before November. The rail
roads will be better prepared to handle
the crop this season than they have the
crops of former years. The Louisville and
Nashville, which Mr.. Connolly represents,
has added 500 combination refrigerator and
ventilator cars to its equipment, and the
other roads which move the crop are pre-
pairing to handle it promptly.
Mr.. Connolly will spend week or two in
Savannah and will then go north until it is
time to begin handling the oranges in

A FAMOUS THIEFs CAREER.
a Leader Among Criminals on Two
Continents-Disd in Misery.

Leader Among Criminals on Two
Continents-Disdi in Misery
From The Cincinnati Enquirer.
The history of Isaac Newsome, a famous
criminal who died recently in this city,
reads like a chapter from a romance.
Newsome was born in England, received a
fair education, possessed pleasing address
and became leader of daring crooks who
operated in England and on the continent.
Newsome was genius at planning roo
berries, and he was welcomed as a guest in
many wealthy houses which he thus had an
opportunity to study and plunder. His
victims were found throughout all Europe,
and his confederates were nervy, audacious
and well disciplined. Having reaped a
golden harvest in the old world NeWsome
came TO the United States. settled in Gin
clnnati. and repeated his tactics. He used
10 frequent John Lrenazo's saloon and
raked in rich sp ills until he got a load of
buckshot in the back while robbing a store
on Fifth street. He never wholly recovered
from the wound then inflicted. He was
betrayed by Brenazo through jealousy, aud
was sent TO the penitentiary in 1854. Rather
than work ne chopped OF his own fingers
with an axe. Released in 1860, he went TO
Europe, and there, it is said, was one of q
gang headed by Doodle Alderman Jaehne,
OF New York, who disposed of the Jewels
and precious metals with assistance from
Mother Mandelbaum when required. Ney-
some wandered back recently TO Cincinnati.
wreck of his former handsome self, and
soon died in penury, after having
squandered princely fortunes. Ga opening
the body four buckshut, hattened out and
matted together, were found encysted in
the lumbar region. When they hal
entered the body they had struck against
the bony tissue of the spinal column, and
had, by pressure on the nerves, produced
partial paralysis. Their presence caused
also constantly recurring assesses. These
had either burst or relief had been given by
laucing through the back opening them.
The post-mortem was performed in the
presence of several students of the Ohio
Medical College, and the body was then
sent to one of the surgical institutions.

The Gulf Storm Gone Off the Coast
The Weather Yesterday.
The cyclone reported Off the east coast
of Florida yesterday will not do any dam
age to this section, Signal Observer benson
SAID last night. The storm began on the
Gulf coast two days ago aud was heading
this way, but from some cause it veered to
the northeast, and Savannah escaped the
blow. The barometer has risen throughout
Florida, and it has risen lere, 50 that all
fear of a cyclone is now dspelled.
When the storm was first reported the
velocity of the wind on the Gulf coast was
twenty-five miles an hour. 1t reached no
greater velocity. From last nights report
the cbserver SAID that it could not be told
that there had been any winds. Ga the
Gulf coast the barometer is slig lily below
the normal, andthe conditions are favorable
for the development of another storm, the
observer said.
Light showers are reported from several
stations in the South Atlantic district from
Norfolk to Key West. Norfolk rep jrts
rain and Key West also Light showers
also occurred in Atlanta Augusta, and
Charleston. In Montgomery there was a
slight rainfall and in Wilmington, N. c.
In the Savannah district only .0l Of
an inch OF rain was reported
and that was from Savannah station
The temperature in the Savannah district
was pretty high. At Quitman and Baiu-

LOSSES FROM BAD BALING.
Complaints That a Good Deal of Co

Complaints That Good Deal of Cot
ton is Not Properly Covered.
Considerable new cotton is coming in
covered with cotton bagging. and there is
general complaint by merchants that the
bales ara not properly covered. The fac
tors say that it is penny wise and
pound foolish practice, as where
the bale is not sufficiently COW
cred it loses in weight and becomes
dirty, lessening its value, and in point of
fact the cotton IS looked upon as unmer-
charitable
Mr.. E. Karow, representing Strauss &
Co., one of the largest exporting houses
hore, says that this insufficiency of cover
ing will cause serious Inconvenience to ex-
porters and shippers as already one case has
occurred in which the exporter had to accept
a bill of lading from the steamship com
pany which stated that the cotton was not
in good order, other wise the shipper is
required to make the transportation COM
pany an indemnity bond to protect it from
any claims on the other side of bad
delivery. This bond is required before a
clean bill of lading will be given Prob
ably little more covering on the bales,
Mr.. Karow said, would obviate the neceS-
sity for this step.
There is a law preventing steamboats,
from carrying cotton without every bale
being covered on all sides, and in cases
where bale is not 50 covered the boat is
subject to fine for each bale 1t is said
that merchants in Norfolk are stripping
the cotton covering from the bales
| received there and are covering them with
| jute bagging. They are making a hand
some thing out of it, owing TO the great
difference in weight and the urice 50 nearly
on par with each other. The cotton COW
cred with cotton bagging congresses salts
factorily, but there is some dissatisfac-
ton over the effect of the hooks in
handling the bales, as big holes are made in
the bale almost the length and breadth of
it by the hooks.

OYSTERS COMING IN EARLY.
The Season to Be In Full Blast in
Couple of Weeks.


The first oysters of the season were re-
ceived yesterday from Isle of Hope by
Fried & Hicks. The mollusks begin to
come in every season about this time, aud
are in market until May.
A dealer said yesterday that the oysters
this season are better than he has ever seen.
Already they are free from the milk which
they usually have when the season first
opens. The season, he said, has been more
favorable to them than for some time past.
and the oysters spawned earlier. Since the
spawning season closed they have had time
to get fat, and already they are in demand.
Not many, however, will be consumed un-
til after the first week in September.
The fish dealers are already
receiving orders from the interior towns
and they look for an imme Sc season for
oysters. Some Of the dealers have sent
dredgers to their oyster beds, and they are
gathering them rapidly. As the demand
increases, the number of oyster gatherers
will be increased until the season is
fairly in

Must Clean Their stalls.

The fish dealers who have been occupy
ing stalls in the market are grumbling
about an ordinance which the council has
passed requiring them to pay for cleaning
their stalls. The ordinance goes into effect
tomorrow. Fish dealers have heretofore
paid nothing for the cleaning of their stalls,
and the city had it TO do. They claim that
it is the city's duty to clean the stalls; that
they rent the stalls and pay what charges
the clerk demands. The authorities saw
that the fish moHgers make more filth in
the market than any others who occupy
stalls there The market clerk has been in
structed to collect the fines. and the fish
men have no alternative.
