Ex-tiov. w. 4. Cameron, of
Virginia, has written letter to
Col. Dashiel giving his reasons
for withdrawing from the Repnb
lican party. Every white Repnb-
lican in the South should read the
letter. Gov. Cameron has been
for the last ten years one OF the
ablest leaders of the party in the
South e=was a Republican be-
cause he honestly believed that
ahe policy of that party, as to a
protective tariff and of other fin
ancial questions, were OF the
highest Importance in building up
the waste places of the South, but
when he found out, through the
Mckinley bill and the whole tariff
legislation Of the present Con.
gress, that the party was trying tc
use all of the power of the gov.
eminent to bolster up northern
manufacturers at the expense Of
the South, and when he saw thai
in order to break down the splen.
did achievements, which the South
has made in the last ten years, by
the passage of Federal Election
law, which could have no othel
effect than to paralyzG our indus
tries by fomenting race war Of
turning us over to negro domino
ton, he left the.party as every 9th
err white man in the South, wht
has any love for his county or hi
section should do.

ANOTHER CASE OF JARNDYCE.
The Court to Have a New Hearing
of the Branch Cooper Litigation,

The Court to Have a New Hearing
OF the Branch Cooper Litigation.
Judge Falligant has granted the motion of
plaintiff for a new trial in the case of s.
w. Branch against w. G. Cooper, the
grocer. The jury in March last brought in a
verdict of 81 and costs in favor of Mr.. Branch.
The suit grew out of the sale of Mr. Cooper's
interest in the grocery firm of Branch g.
Cooper, the former giving Mr.. Cooper &c.,
UUO Tor his interest, but a mistake in the
books was afterward discovered which Mr.
Branch claimed was unknown to him at the
time of the dissolution, and which, had he
then known, would have deferred him from
paying to Mr.. Cooper any such sum for his
interest
In granting the motion for a new trial,
the court gave the jury a severe rap. The
full text Of the order is as follows:
In this case the jury first refused to answer
any or the special questions submitted and
brought in a general verdict. They were sent
back and again failed to answer material ques-
tions the verdict rendered being illegal and un-
conduct Of the jury impressed the court unfa-
vorably, and produced at the time in the mind
| OF the court determination to grant q new
trial as soon as the proper notice could be pre-
| pared. A careful examination of the case after
argument has confirmed previous impressions
that the ends of justice demanded new trial
1t Is, therefore. ordered that the verdict in said
| case be set aside and q new trial granted.
The answers to some of the questions
which the jury were required to answer
under the charge of the court wers unique,
to say the least. The answers of this char
acter were: 1--WE don't know" mot known
to us" Referred to the court" etc.
The jury, of which Irwin b. Tiedeman
was foreman, was composed of the follow.
ing jurors: James r. Herman, William
r. Cole. George Keith. Henry NJ. Fraser
Edward F. Stanford, Charles Appel, Noah
NJ. Ulmer, William M. Bent, Edward w.
Brown, Irwin B. Tiedeman and James L.
Morrison.
The ruling of the court in granting g
new trial will be taken to the supreme court
on appeal.

Rev. ]. w. Rogan's Call to the West
minister Church.
Rev. j. w. Rogan of the First Presbv-
terrain church has received a call from the
Westminster church of Baltimore. which
he has under advisement. In event of the
acceptance he will leave Savannah in the
next few weeks.
The call was received some time ago. and
Mr.. Rogan announced to his congregation
at the last service that he was considering
the matter. Mrs. Rogan's health Is poor,
and has been since she came TO Savannah.
This will be the chief cause of
MIR. Rogan's leaving Savannah. He
has been here five years, and
the marked improvement of the First
church's property and the rapid increase OF
Its membership is very gratifying. 1t shows
how diligently the pastor has devoted him
self to his work. Soon after be came here
the congregation began to grow, and during
his ministratlon the number of new men,
bers has been larger than the congregation
when he became pastor.
Mr.. Rogan made an effort to get away
from Savannah last year. The presbytery
renewed him, but he was recalled by the
synod and consequently held here.

FRUIT SCARCE AND HIGH.
Everything Late and Prices Expected
to be Way Up

A year ago the fruit market was flooded.
the vast quantities sent them. This year
they have to sit and hold their hands, ex-
cept now and then when there is a squirt in
vegetables. May last year saw peaches in
market. The first week in May there were
watermelons. Then came berries Of all
kinds and apples.
A dealer said yesterday that it will be
the middle of June before any fruit to
amount to anything will find its way to the
Savannah market.
The cold snap late in the season set the
fruit back several weeks, and in some
places it was a total loss. The dealers look
for high prices in consequence.
Information from growers in the interior
is that but one-third Of a crop of peaches
will be raised. It is not at all likely that
the quality of the fruit will be as good as
that of last year. No peento peaches from
Florida have yet been received here. They
are always the first to be on the market
They come oftentfmes as early as April.
Several shipments have been made from
Florida TO northern points, but southern
markets cannot afford to pay the prices
demanded by growers, in consequence of
the scarcity Of the fruit.
The dealers expect melons from Florida
and Southwest Georgia about the middle of
June. They do not think that this kind Of
fruit will be received earlier. The prospects
now are that the fruit season will be re-
markedly short one. The blackberry crop
is almost total failure. Such thing has
not occurred in years. This kind of fruit
is plentiful when all other fruits are cut off.
This year, however, seems to be an
exception.
Wilmington Island abounds with nice,
juicy berries every season and no one ever
picks them for market This year, one
dealer said, he was unable to find more than
few bushes bearing berries. Some were
In market yesterday and sold readily at 20
cents quart. They were very inferior
berries, though, and if they had not been
the FIRST Of the season they would have COM
manded no price. The hucksters say that
the berries are not TO be found.
Winter fruit, imported by ]. S. Col
Inns 81 Co. and Kavanaugh & Brennan, will
not take the place of the summer fruit
raised here. The winter fruit has dropped
off to give place to Georgia grown fruit,
but summer fruit is not taking its place.
Dealers have been disappointed. They ex-
pected all along more fruit than they are
assured now that they will get. Notwith-
standing the cold snap they knew damaged
fruit TO a considerable extent, they could
not believe that the damage was 80 ex-
tensive. Savannah people may not expect
fruit inside of two weeks vet.

In AND ABOUT THE CITY.
THE LoNasHoREMEN's DEMAND.
The 5 Cents an Hour Advance Not
Likely 20 bs Yielded.

The 8 Cents an Hour Advance Not
Likely 20 be Yielded.
The lumber longshoremen stood out yes
terday, aud some of them are getting the
additional rate Of cents an hour asked for.
The men who are getting the advance are
those who have been fortunate enough to
be employed on the new vessels.
Two gangs were started yesterday load
ing vessels Just arrived. By the working
mems resolution, the cents extra per hour
win be asked in working all vessels not now
loading. The men who worked the new YES
sells got what they asked for. II is not thought,
however. by the stevedores that the advance
viii be general. The lumber workingmea
attempted the same thing in 1888 and also
last year. They failed each time. The
reason was that the masters Of vessels pre-
ferred to have the work performed by other
men.
If there is refusal on the part of the
regular lumber men to load the vessels, men
are imported, and. while the work is not
carried on so Systematically, the vessels are
loaded, the most of them on time.
Some Of the stevedores say that the work
Is laborious and the services Of the working
men should be rewarded accordingly. They
are inclined, however, TO believe that 80 and

that number were to refuse to d. service,

whether they are low does not matter mate

When the masters find that they have

they reduce all other expenses by overseeing
the work themselves This, however, is
done in only few cases. When the dis
turbance has abated affairs move along in
the same old channels. Tuesday, however,
Will decide what the longshoremen's demand
upon the masters means. All the vessels
will be loaded Tuesday which are now being

their places along the wharves.

Inc savannah xaCnt Club preparing
for the Charlestonians.
From letter received by Commodore r.
NJ. Demere from Vice Commodore w. d.
Porcher. Of the Carolina Yacht Club, the
Charleston World seems to be in error as to
the fleet leaving Charleston yesterday.
Commodore Porcher writes to his friend
that the Fiirt, Wildbird and Katrinka will
leave Charleston next Saturday, and expect
TO reach the club house of the Savannah
Yacht Club at Thunderbolt on the morning
of June 4, the day before the regatta
The Charleston feet will accompany the
Savannah yachts on the cruise. Commo-
core Demere says the yachts win go on the
cruise the day following the regatta, or on
Saturday, the second day after the race.
The cruise will be to the southland. to Ossi-
bau or St. Catharine's.
The Savannah yachts are in good trim
for the race, and there will be no less than
eight first-class cabin yachts in the regatta
as follows: Fiirt, Wildbird and KatrInka of
Charleston, and the Ocean Queen, Glance,
Foam, Winnie Davis, aud Eta. It IL
thought that the Alexander G. may enter
and there are those who claim that she is the
only craft in these waters that can beat the
Katrinka. The friends of the Ocean Queen
think that she will lead the races outward
and come in safe winner. as she is in bet
ter trim for sailing than she has ever be-
fore been. The Savannah yacht owners
have spared no money in getting their
yachts in good sailing trim.
The Hinga viii enter in the second class if
she can get g competitor, and the hope is
expressed that the Jennie S. of Charleston
will come over, or some boats OF the Zinga's
class come in from the southland, so that
she can try her white wings in the regatta.
There will be quite a number of open
yachts and diamond bottoms, and the June
regatta of the Savannah Yacht Club, it is
predicted, will be the NEST successful and
exciting ever given under tho auspices OF
the club.

ADVERTISING EARLY CLOSING.
The Dry Goods salesmen's Novel Way
of Doing 1t,

of Doing 1t.
The Retail Dry Goods Salesmen's Associa-
ton proposes to advertise the early closing
movement, as an auxiliary to the dry
goods and millinery stores, which have de-
cided to close at 6 p. m. on and after June /,
and on Saturday nights at 10 p. m. until
Oct. l.
The street advertising was inaugurated
last night by sending out aoat at 6 O'Clock,
which was kept On the street until 10
O'clock. 1t will be sent out daily during
the week and will be on the street from 4 to
0 p. m. except Saturday next, when it will
again be on the street from 6 to 10 D. m. A
man in the float kept up constant ringing
of a bell. which enforced notice. and thou
sands viewed it with curiosity and dis
cussed the early closing movement
The sides, end and double roof of the
float were covered with early-closiug an
nouncements, and small but attractive
handbills were freely circulated in the mar
ket and about town asking the people to
shop early.n
The ladies' auxiliary of the Young Mems
Christian Association held meeting night
before last, at which letter was received
and read from the Retail Dry Goods Sales
mems Association askiog for their aid in
the early-closing movement, and resolu-
ton was unanimously adopted pledging that
the members Of the auxiliary viii do all
their shopping in the forenoon between June
l and Oct. to aid the movement
The members of the Women's Christian
Temperance Union, the Kings Daughters
aud the Ladies' Hebrew Benevolent Associa-
ton are working to advance the cause of
the early closing movement.
1t appears to be the determination of the
ladies to make late shopping breach of
etiquette and from the general favor with
which early shopping is received late shop
ping is likely to soon become thing of the
past.

Recently there have been representatives

Preference is shown for property near the

There has also been considerable inquiry for
acre property in the suburbs with railroad
frontages or near railroad lines. A little
