which has helped the plant very materially,
and it is now fruiting rapidly in South
Georgia and Florida. There are no COM
plants from any section of a lack of rain,
On the contrary in some sections of Geor-
gia planters have had too much of it.
OF course, during the last ten DAYS
there has been considerable rain, and
should it continue, it will certainly have a
bad effect on both cotton and corn.
In Lowndes county, and other surround
ing counties, the heavy rains have wrought
considerable damage to the melon crop.
and will no doubt, shorten shipments
from that section. Seemingly the heaviest
rains recently have been confined to Geor-
gia. From present indications, it is believed
that the report for July on cotton will show
better average for Georgia, should moth
ing unforeseen occur or stormy weather in
tervene between now and the first of the
month.
The reports from the rice crop are
uniformly good thus far, and planters are
pleased with the crop so far. Thew saw
that the stand was never better and the
plant is coming out rapidly. The FREQUENT
rains have aided the crop very much.

Savannah Getting Plenty of Rain Now
-To-Day's Predictions.
Savannah got an inch of rain from last
nights thunder storm. The rain was local
and did not reach farther west than GUY
ton.
Yesterday was generally cooler through
out the western portion of the southern
states. 1t was slightly cooler all over Geor-
gia, except along the coast. Light rain
falls were reported up to o'clock in South
Carolina, Georgia, Florida, Mississippi,
Alabama, Louisiana and Texas In Texas
heavier rainfalls were reported than any
other state. Galveston reports a fall Of
20 inches, and Rio Grande 1.3S.
In the Savannah district the heaviest
rainfall up to o'clock was LAT inches at
Albany, /. Is inches at Millen, "a of an inch
at cambridge, 80 Of an inch at Live Oak.
and Quitman reported one-half of an inch.
the temperature was stationary along
the coast. The highest temperature re-
ported in the United States was in Georgia.
Savannah's average was 93', Augusta and
Charleston 92'. Atlanta reported only 81.
From Atlanta westward it was generally
cooler, and last night when it was rain
Ing here the weather was fair in Atlanta.
The highest temperature reported in the
Savannah district was 9S', at Jesup, Smith
VILE and Waycross. Millen and Fort
Gaines reported 81.
The indications for to-day are that it will
be much cooler, with perhaps a light
shower this morning. 1t is likely that To-
morrow will be cooler than to-day. This
prediction is predicated upon high barome-
ter throughout the Mississippi valley, ad-
vancing eastward.

WAITING FOR MR.. CURTIS.
His Absence from the City Delays the
River and Harhor Investigation,

His Absence from the City Delays the
River and Harbor Investigation.
Col. r. P. Hughes, United States inspec.
tor general, has been in the city for three
days, and he is no nearer an investigation
into the charges against the river and
harbor contractors than he was the day of
his arrival.
Col Hughes had not heard from Mr..
Curtis up to last night, although it is said
that he must have known that the inspector
general would be in Savannah last week to
inquire into the matter.
1t is understood that Mr.. Curtis was en-
ployed by the city to draw the plans for the
proposed quarantine station on Cockspur
island, and he is also employed on engineer
ing work at Suwannee Springs, Fla, and
is therefore necessarily absent froin the
city.
Capt. Greene, one of the contractors on
the river and harbor Improvement, arrived
from New York yesterday morning, and is
ready for the investigation to proceed. No
delay will be interposed by Capt. Greene or
Mr.. Gaynor, and Lieut.. Carter, who re-
quested that an investigation should be
made, is also ready for it to go on with as
little delay as possible.
The situation at present is that the in
vestigatiop has been delayed by the absence
from the city of Mr.. Curtis, who made the
charge, and until be presents himself before
the inspector general for examination and
cross-examination the investigation must
be delayed.
Col. Hughes said last night that the stu
alton is unchanged from that reported in
yesterdays MORNING NEWS.

ALL RAISED BUT $4,000.
The New Railroad Canvass to
Pushed this Week.

The New Railroad Canvass to be
Pushed this Week.
Only $16, 900 remain yet to be raised for
the building of the Savannah, Americas
and Montgomery railroad to Savannah.
8. L. Lazaron, Esq, one of the most
enterprising workers of the canvassing
committee, said yesterday that the COM
mittee Will make an exhaustive canvass to-
morrow and during the next few DAYS
going among the smaller merchants and
receiving subscriptions of whatever amount
the people may give. Every business man
who has not already been waited upon. he
said, may expect a visit from the COMMITTEES
tomorrow.
Mr.. Lazaron said that he is hopeful of
success in raising the required amount.
The people are beginning to wake up to the
importance OF getting the road, and every
will come down with just whatever he ia
able to give, without regard to what his
neighbor gives" he said, I'VE will get the
road"
1t is not likely that after raising nearly
S35, 900 the people will let the project fall
through. The road means great deal to
Savannah; more than anybody is able to
see vet, the committee urges, and the bene-
fits that will accrue from its coming here
will surpass all expectation. 1t means
$4,000 bales of cotton that is now
finding its way to Brunswick; it
means incalculable benefits derived from a
fresh country just being developed, besides
the good of increased facilities to the west.
In securing the road, Savannah not only
RECEIVERS her territory from the other lines
running through it, but it will gain an i'm
mense amount of trade which has belonged
heretofore to other points The committee
will make a strong endeavor to raise the
full amount before July l.

THE orTY,s FOOD SUPPLY.
Complaint OF Storage Meats - Over
1000 Fish Condemned.

Inspector Desvergers, Of the Citizens
Sanitary Association, in his weekly report
Of food produce in the Savannah market
during the week ending last night, says
that the average quality of the past week
was about the same as that Of the previous
week.
The inspector reported that he has learned
that the city council market committee met
at the market house last Monday and ex-
amined the building and its appointments
ana condition, with a view to necessary
repairs ana improvements.
Inc inspector also reported that his atten-
ton is being constantly called to the appear
ance of the meat brought from cold storage
cars to the market, and he says in reference
10 DC that he has upon several occasions had
cold storage meat Of uninviting appearance
cut into and found il sound
DE says that he has also had
frequent complaints from purchasers of
cold storagesmeat to the effect that it was
unit to eat, and he says that during the
warm season cold storage meats and even
fruits VIII not keep very long after being
taken from storage and exposed to the air,
especially If not Immediately placed on ice.
de thinks that it would be expedient for
the market committee to avail itself Of in
formation from experienced, intelli-
gent and reliable butchers as to how
long cold storage meat will keep after being
exposed to the air from the storage, during
the different seasons of the year, in order
that the city authorities may intelligently
regulate the sale OF such meats in the mar
ket.
Inc inspector condemned over 1000
hsh during the week, and yet he says peo-
pie complain of being imposed upon with
unsound fish by the fish dealers in the mar
ket. The trouble, he says, is doubtless
owing to the fact that fish taken from the
Ice soon become unsound. In warm, rainy
weather 1t requires but few minutes be-
fore they spoil

TIE FRUITS WE EAT.
The Peach Rush Over and Water
melons Coming in Lively.

melons Coming in Lively.
Last week was a heavy week for fruits.
More of it was on the market than could
possibly be disposed of at prices much
above freight charges. All the crop Of early
Alexander peaches was marketed, and the
difference in the supply of yesterday ard
that OF week ago was quite perceptible.
The first shipment of the second crop was
received yesterday. The variety is the
early Hales. They are not quite ripe yet,
and the peach market will
not be at all overloaded dur
ing the next few days. A. II. Champion
said that the variety coming in now is no t
as good as it was last year. The Hales, as
general thing, are very large and juicy
and command good prices. but it IS not
thought that they will command such high
prices this year. A fair sample has not
been been received yet, however, and not
much of an idea can be gathered about the
crop from the first lot that come into mar
ket.
Peaches are bringing now from 81 IS to
~ per bushel. 1t is not likely that the
price will go any higher until the season
begins to close. Then, possibly, as the de-
mand exceeds the supply, prices viii run up.
Wild goose plums are on the market In
superabundant quantities. The fruit mer-
chants pronounce them very fine. They
range in price from % cents to 80 cents per
crate of half a peck each. They have been
on the market for several days and are
steadily declining in prices.
There was a moderate supply of figs in
market yesterday morning. They went
long before noon, though, at 20 cents per
quart The fig crop was cut off consdsra-
bly, this year, and not half a crop will be
gathered. The fruit is sweet, though, and
what there is of il is fine.
Cherries found quite dull market here
this season. Any quantity of them were
brought in during the last two weeks, but
they dragged at Is cents per quart.
Georgia watermelons are ON the market
earlier this season than ever before. Asa
consequence they are bringing just what
ever the seller may ask. Two carloads Of
Florida melons were received before the
Ef1ngham county melons came in, but they
did not sell and the merchants were forced
to send them off TO interior markets for dis
position. Since the Effingham melon came
into market the Florida variety has been
driven out People pay 60 Genus
for the country melons in
preference to giving Is cents for the Florida
variety. the country melons are very
sweet and juicy this season, but they are
very small.
1t is not likely that many more carload
lots Will be received here until after the
country melous are off of the market.
Florida musk melons are selling well at 90
cents and IS cents.
