TO WAIT FOR THE TRAIN.

Charleston's Regatta To-Morrow-Sa-
vannah Yachts to Arrive This Morn
ing.
The Savannah yachts which left on the
cruise for Charleston had not arrived last
night, but telegram announces that the
feet is expected to be in port this morning.
The sailing committee of the Carolina
Yacht Club has decided to postpone the
regatta tomorrow until the arrival of the
train, which will leave this city tomorrow
morning at 6:45 o'clock, standard time.
Tickets for the excursion to Charleston will
also be good to leave by the nights train at
$40 o'clock, standard time.
The excursion is for the benefit of the
building fund of the Independent Presbyte-
rian church, and persons holding tickets
purchased from the committee will return
tomorrow night on a special train, leaving
Charleston after the regatta, between the
hours of and o'clock.
There have been some forty or fifty
badges given out to members of the Savan-
nah Yacht Club who contemplate going
over to Charleston, and most of them would
have taken to-night's train but they will
now wait for to-morrow's train, since the
regatta will not be sailed until the arrival
of the train. As this will permit members
of the club and their guests to go aboard
the tug and boats and follow over the
course, a much larger number will now
avail themselves of the opportunity to
witness a regatta which is attracting the
greatest interest, as eight Savannah yachts
are entered against the best sailers of city
where yachting has always been in favor.

A WARNING.


~SS~S @@SS 4OSoo ~ WIG 0ITSob5s
In western town, where a circus was
exhibiting, great CONSERVATION prevailed
when the alarming fact became generally
known that many of the animals had es-
capped aud were roaming the streets A
moments thought of the dreadful suspense
endured by parents for their loved ones
friend for friend, will almost bring this
home as dreadful reality. Yet, as alarm
ing as it was, many ludicrous experiences
are related. These things often have their
humorous side.
Right here in our city the bears are loose
in the streets, they try to sport with each
other, but their antics are ridiculous with
out being funny-they are too sad to be
funny Their efforts to brighten are equally
unsuccessful. They are sad because thew
failed to buy any acres which they can cut
up in lots like some of their friends therefore
they put in cautious and wise air, and
conidentiGILy advise their friends n to
be careful ''These people, you know
viii not pay up" They don't seem to re-.
member that "these people are the kind
that pay their debts, and many Of them are
clear "ahead of the hounds" The sensible
people are not being scared by the bears.
They have heard growing before. These
growls are meant to brighten you away
from the choice morsels that they NAV
even pick the bones themselves, and leave
these latter for you to gnaw. The sensible
ones ''gnGtV" know better than that. and
will be found buying lots at the sale this
afternoon.

What is the Ruling Rate for Money

What Is the Ruling Rate for Money.
The money market is said to be easy.
That means that if you need to borrow
bank presidents will ask you to come in and
take seat when you approach their sane
tum sanctorum. If you can offer good
security-stocks and bonds-with ample
margins, as favor the money will be fur
nlshed at per cent. per annum. If your
security Is real estate, and the committee
and the attorney approve, you may get so
per cent of its value at per cent per
annum. These are the ruling rates. 1t is
impossible to borrow money on more favor
terms, except occasionally when some phil
anthropist will offer to lend it at 6 per cent.
per annum on real estate, and upon mar
gin of only S26. This is what the owner of
the lots which Dorsett will sell this after
noon is offering to do. The price to be given
is actually fixed by the buyer. At his own
price he is offered money at per cent. per
annum with which to buy a lot upon which
he is asked to pay but $25, aud is allowed
to return the loan at the rate of $40 per
month. Verify, it would seem that he who
refuses to do this much for himself, is de-
hcient in appreciation or in that instinc t
that leads all animals even mem to look
out for their ownsinterests.

Pirates OF PenzanZe" Before a Fine
Audience.
The success Of the Bijou Opera Company
SO far, from an artistic standpoint, was
the presentation of the PIRATES of PEN
zanze" last night. The theater was not as
we'll filed as on the previous night, but the
singing and acting was a success from the
start. Miss Marie Hill is not a debutante but
an operatic singer of experience and talent
ASS Maber'she was intelligent and successful
and made good impression. Perhaps her
finest effort was in the duet with "Freder-
ick": "He loves me; he is here" which re-
ceived an encore.
The leading role of "Mai. Gen. Stanleyn
was played acceptably by A. l.. Henderson.
The hit of the evening was the comic
singing of Harry Leonard as Sergeant of
Police" His reference to a policeman's
lot as being equally as unhappy as the poll
tician'S lot who went to Washington and
hopes to become collector of the port, was
received with LOUD applause, and repeti-
ton was demanded. The police chorus was
effort unquestionably was the famous chorus

and an encore was demanded
The part of pirate Chief" by F. L. Hill
was a good impersonation and his voice is
full and agreeable in quality.
The management has decided to substi-
tute the opera "Billee Taylor tonight for
the Bohemian Girl, as advertised. "Bil-
lee Taylor" is famous for its physical dis
play, and the Bohemian Grip will be
given later in the week. The "Mikado''

THE SOUTHERN DEAD.
TWO Hundred and Forty Graves Of

Two Hundred and Forty Graves of
Georgians Needing Attention.
The Ladies' Memorial Association of
Fredericksburg, Va, has appealed for aid
TO enable it to replace, with more enduring
material, the rapidly decaying wooden
posts which mark the graves of the !, 500
southern soldiers in the confederate GENE
terry at that place. of which Mrs. /. N.
Barney, secretary of the association, writes
24O are from Georgia.
Mrs. Barney says:
If some prominent confederate would offer to
act as treasurer in Savannah. and the appeal
be given general publicity throughout the state
could begin the work in year. The wooden
posts, with their names on them, are rapidly
decaying, and it is necessary to replace them as
soon as possible Having no means at our dis
posal for this purpose we are compelled to
ask for aid, feeling sure that our appeal will
not be in vain.
Many Of these graves, which we have lovingly
cared Tor duang so many years, contain the
dear ones OF southern homes, where their
memories are still cherished and throb of
sympathy viii go out to US in our efforts to
rescue their names from oblivion. Mothers
widows, orphans, sisters and comrades, help us
IN our sacred work, and we believe that before
another year we will have money enough to
begin our work. If some responsible uerson in
each city, town and village will offer to receive
contributions for this cause and will forward
them to Charles Wallace, Esq, president First
National Bank, Fredericksburg, Va, we will be
very grateful
This appeal having been brought to the
attention of Mrs. J. G.. Williamson, secre-
tary and treasurer Of the Savannah Me-
mortal Association, she has consented to take
charge of all contributions which may be
made here and forward them to Mrs. Wal
lace.

THE PEAR CROP A LOSS.
The.Fruit Small and Little OF It, and
the Trees Damaged.

Tne.Fruit Small and Little OF It, and
the Trees Damaged.
The pear crop around Savannah will be
almost total failure. What fruit remained
on the trees after the early cold snap has
been damaged to such an extent by the
drought that no shipments will be made
from here this season, and the growers will
be satisfied if the continued dry spell does
not kill the trees
DR.. j. b. Read, owner Of large orchard
OF 800 trees, with a yield of about 1000
bushels a season, reports that the outlook is
the most gloomy that he has ever known.
Not more than one-tenth of crop will be
picked, and no shipments will be made at
all.
Between 1850 and 5, 900 crates are shipped
from here each season, selling in northern
markets for more than 900. DIR. Read
realized from his orchard last season about
$1,000 net, and while this years crop was
cut off by the early cold weather it was ex-
pected that at least moderately fair ship
ment would be made and the shippers
would realize something from short crop.
The drought changed the aspect of affairs
considerably. however. 1t set in early
and lasted long. 1t came much earlier than
droughts usually come, and Dr. Read said
yesterday that for its damaging effects to
and especially pears, it is without a par
allel since the culture of the pear for ship
ment was begun in this section.
DIR. Read has four varieties of pears the
June pear, Clapp's favorite, the Bartlett,
and the Duchess. The June pears are the
earliest of the season and probably the
earliest pears sold in the southern markets.
Clapps favorite follows on its heels and is
probably the first pears sold in northern
fnapEntc IVban ha portIaAk
the price In northern markets is lowered on
account of having to compete with Cali
fornia shippers. The June variety, DR..
Read said, is killed, and the top Of the
trees are damaged to such an ex-
tent that the leaves are turning yellow.
The Duchess variety is a total loss. DR..
Read is fearful that some of the trees are
killed. The trees have lost their foliage
and the bodies of some Of them, as we'll as
the tops, have turned yellow. Clapp's
favorite variety is very small this season
but the damage to the tree is not very per-
ceptible, further than a small yield of
dwarfed fruit Clapp's favorite in three
fourth bushel crates, bring as high as S.
and 81 in New York and the Bartletts sell
for from a to "a so when the season is
favorable If there was a shipment made
this season it would be 50 poor that no
demand would be created for the fruit
The extensive damaging effect of the
drought cannot be accounted for by pear
growers. The fruit is regarded as being
capable of undergoing droughts more sue
cessfully than other kinds OF fruits. 1t has
succumbed more under this years. drought
though, than any other crop. Drought was
never before known to kill or damage the
trees as 1t is doing now. DR.. Read said he
thought that rain now will be too late to
be OF any benefit to the trees or the fruit

THE 2. M. G. A. BUILDING.
The Associations Plans for Getting q
Permanent Home.


The Young Mems Christian Association
mass meeting at Masonic hall Friday night
Is expected to put the association building
movement on solid footing. The associa-
ton is greatly in need of suitable building
for home. 1t is the history of the organi-
zation, according to the statement of Inter-
national Secretary Hall, who was here a
little more than a month ago, that the most
successful work is done by those associations
which own buildings. They are equipped and
prepared for their work as they cannot be
under any other circumstances.
A few weeks ago the Gallaudet property
at the corner of Bull and Jones streets was
purchased by Mr.. ]. 2. Williams, backed
by syndicate of gentlemen. The purchase
was made with view to holding the prop
erty for the association If it can raise the
money to pay for it. This is what the
directors propose doing, and the Friday
night mass meeting is to organize the move
ment In the association. As soon as that is
done an appeal will be made to the public
The purchasers will have possession Of

TO secure 1T by that time. 1t is proposed to
utilize the property as it now stands. with
some improvements. until such time as the
association can see its way to erect a new
building. The residence will be occupied
as parlors. reading rooms, library and
secretary's Office, and will also,
with some slight changes, have a commodi-
GUS assembly room. A gymnasium with
swimming baths, dressing rooms, etc., will
be built on the rear of the lot fronting Bull
street. The location is one Of the most
eligible in the city for the purposes of the
association and the directors are confident
that with proper support they will have
little difficulty in securing the property.

The deceased was born in Westfield, N.
j., Oct. IL, 1886. she was the daughter of
Mr.. George w. Davis, one of the most es-
Unable OF Savanhah's citizens. In 1859 she
married Capt Robert II. Footman, who,

SALES AT THE COURT HOUSE.
Prices Well Northumberland Still
Rising.


There was very large attendance at the
regular monthly sales at the court house
yesterday. The offerings were good, and
buyers showed an appreciation of that fact
Everything offered was readily taken, and
very sharp competition was developed for
most of the prices sold. 1t proved con-
clusively that there has been no inflated
boom fostered by interested parties Prop
erty that was sold few months ago was
resold to-day at handsome advances upon
the previous sales. 1t shows that all classes
of property sympathize with the improved
condition of things generally and the bright
prospects ahead of US. The eagerness with
which all the property offered was taken,
shows that there is plenty of money here
for investments, AID accounts for the de-
sire that has been evidenced for real Estate
property by the recent sales of lots in the
southern section. 1t will be found that this
demand will increase during the summer,
and will be shown as long as the sale of lots
continued.

for Not Supporting Her.
An interesting suit for alimony was in
progress in the superior court yesterday at
the hour of adjournment, and testimony
for the defense will be resumed at the open
ing hour this morning. Ida Emily Craig
sued J. Elmore Craig for alimony, the
plaintiff alleging that they were married in
Charleston Nov 6, 1888, and after the mar
riage she was deserted by her husband, who
has since that time contributed nothing to-
ward her support, although he has since
held remunerative clerical position in the
Savannah, Florida and Western railway
offices and now has good position in the
Office of the Southern Express Office.
The complainant has a certificate Of mar
riage and a witness in tie person of Mr..
Wilson, VINO tied the connuoial knot.
The defendant denies the marriage, and
in addition pleads minority, as both were
under the manageable age. The case is
being vigorously contested, and S. B.
Adams, Eq., counsel for defendant, has
noted several exceptions to the rulings
which have been favorable to the fair and
vivacous young litigant who seeks to bring
her truant husband to respect his obliga-
tions as husband or pay her in the coin of
the realm.

Railroad Officials Cannot Say When
Northern Travel VIII Open.

RAILROAD OFFICIALS CaDnOt say Wueu
Northern Travel WIN Open
The last northern mail for Savannah
reached here Saturday. When the Sea-
board and Roanoke reported a washout
near Portsmouth yesterday, the only route
by which the Atlantic Coast Line could
reach New York was INSTRUCTED. Travel
from Savannah to New York is blockaded
and discontinued at Weldon, where the Sea-
board and Roanoke touches the Atlantic
Coast Line. 2 Between Weldon and Rich
mond the Petersburg bridge is washed
away. 1t was over 200 feet span,
and some time will be consumed
in rebuilding it, A number of other wash
outs have occurred between Weldon and
Richmond, and extensive washouts are re-
ported on the Richmond and Fredericks-
burg road, between Richmond and Guam
tico. Some time will be required to put
the line in shape. Supt. Fleming, of the
Savannah, Florida and Western railway,
received the following dispatch yesterday
from Assistant General Manager j. K.
Kenly, Of the Atlantic Coast Line railway:
WILMINGTON, N. c., June a, 1889.
To r. @. fleming:
have just been advised that SeaboaI and
Roanoke railway is impossible on account of
high water at Nottaway river. Noserious dam
age has been done as yet, and / do not think
any will occur. hope the interruption is only
temporary, and that they will be running
through within twenty-four or forty eight hours.
We have now no connection north Of Weldon.
Our freight and passenger department is ad-
viSed j. X. KENLY,
Assistant General Manager A. G. Line
The Savannah, Florida and Western Off
cials have instructed all the points north of
Savannah not to receive shipments for the
north except upon condition that it be
turned over to the Ocean Steamship Com
pany upon arrival in Savannah. Consid-
cradle freight is being shipped this way
1t is inferred, from the telegram received
by Supt. Fleming from Assistant General
Manager Kenly of the Atlantic Coast Line,
that the Seaboard and Roanoke rail
way will be again resorted to for
a route north before the lines directly con-
Meeting the Atlantic Coast Line with New
York are repaired and passable In con-
sequence of these washouts all through
travel has been interrupted, and no
northern mails have been received here this
week.
Southern Express Agent Cooper said yes
terday that all express matter for the north
is going by the Ocean Steamship Company.
1t is likely that many days will be required
to repair the track, SO that travel can be
resumed.
