view with MORNING NEWS reporter, that
the business Of the Savannah, Florida and
Western this season is much heavier than

that the car-shops have been turning out

rolling stock OF the road has been fully en-
ployed TO accommodate the increased traffic
Of the road.
Capt. Fleming says that the Florida
oranges are beginning TO move, and that by
the latter part Of next month they will be
going forward lively.

porting point for European and South
American ports, Capt. Fleming said that he
had no personal knowledge in the matter,
but that he would not be surprised If it
were true, as Mr. Inman is a man of great
wealth, and he sees no reason why Mr.. Iu-
man should not unite with Mr.. Plant In an
investment of the kind
Capt Fleming was asked if it is true that
the Savannah, Florida and Western con-
templates extending the Alabama Midland
to gulf port, and in reply he said that

Mrs. j. b. Read and Father Cafferty, re-
turned from Suwannee Sulphur Springs,
Fla, yesterday morning. The bishop is
much better than he was a few days ago.

be all right in two or three days. His re-
cent sickness made him very weak, and as
soon as he gains his strength he will be all
right. The party left Florida Thursday
morning, making the trip in a day and
night.
The party occupied sleeper, and the
bishop was very comfortably provided for,
so that he was not fatigued by the trip as
much as if he had occupied seat in an
ordinary day car. Immediately upon the
bishops arrival, he was called upon by
good many of his friends, who went to in
quire about his health. He expects to be
out soon.
All of the party were very much pleased
with the springs, ana think too much cannot
be said in their behalf, and of the accom-
modations with which visitors there are
provided.
