THE CROWDS KEEP UP.
Excursionists Flock to Savannah and
Tybee Beach.

Excursionists Flock to Savannah and
Tybee Beach.
Yesterday was very pleasant day in the
city, but the crowds went to Tybee any
way, out of habit, perhaps. 1t will be a
cold day sure enough when the Tybee road
gets left. The trains went out crowded all
day. The 800 o'clock afternoon train car
ried out ten coaches and every one
of them was crowded. As usual,
Augusta furnished a large number OF
excursiouists to Tybee. The up train to the
city at g O'Clock brought in eight coaches so
packed and jammed with people that they
seemed to be hanging out Of the windows.
When the train stopped under the shed the
crowd swarmed out Of the doors and win
dows too, and made rush for the street
cars, as many of them had to catch the ex-
cursion train.
President Purse of the Ty bee road wat ched
the crowd with placid and benignant
smile. He says the Savannah and Atlantic
railway gives the cheapest mileage on the
Atlantic coast, and the people are finding
it out. They are running trains on time
now without reak or accident, and the re-
ceipts for freight as well as passenger traffic
are far ahead Of last year.
There was big crowd at the Central
railroad depot, as usual. The Augusta spe-
cial had eight coaches full of people and the
"shoofly" had a big crowd. The ticket agent
reported heavy sale of tickets. A large
number Of people, mostly women and
children, left the city yesterday morning to
spend day or two at the various small sta
lions on the road.

which enraged the others. They attempted
to rescue the prisoner. A number of white

II is Extremely Hot Though in the In
terror and in the W est.
The west roasted yesterday. In the west,
northwest and lower Mississippi valley 1T
was excessively hot. In the northwest the
mercury climbed clear out of the top OF the
Thermometer, so to speak. At North Platte.
Neb., the maximum was 100, and at Omaha
104e. Kansas City sweltered at lO2. At
st. Louis it was $50, ard Cincinnati re-
ported 92'. 1t was "a at
Davenport, Ia. and go at Cheyenne, Wyo.,
1t was 96e at Omaha at s O'Clock last night
and 92' at Kansas City.
The Lower Mississippi valley was very
hot. Shreveport reported maximum OF
&C. and the thermometer regisreted so at
o'clock last night. Fort Smith reported 90
maximum and 92s at s o'clock. TIE Little
Rock and Galveston cotton region districts
reported an average Of Sc temperature,
and the New Orleans district "a. Rio
Grande reported a maximum Of l020 and
Brownsville, Tex, 98'.
Throughout the lake region, the northern
and New England states and on the At
lantic coast the weather was very pleasant,
though slightly warmer than the day be-
fore. The interior southern states were
warm, but not quite so hot as the day be-
fore. Atlanta reported maximum Of 81 /,
Nashville and Memphis So, augusta
90' and Montgomery g2'.
The South Atlantic coast cities reported
as follows: Wilmington $40, Charleston
$50, Savannah SO, jacksonville $50.
1t was pretty hot in the Savannah dis
trict. The average for the district was 929.
The hottest place in the district was Albany
with go, and Savannah, as is usually the
case, was the coolest with SO. The new
station Gainesville, Fla..l made its first re-
port, a maximum Of 90. No rain fell In
the district
The day was very pleasant In the city.
The sun shown bright, but there was good
breeze all day. As nearly everybody had
the privilege Of sitting in the shade, very
little complaint of the heat was made. The
maximum temperature was so, and the
minimum was So, giving a mean of 78'.
This is usually the very hottest part of the
year, as the average mean temperature of
July - for the past six years is
IS, only 9 below yesterdays maximum
and seven degrees above the mean. There
has been some wonderful weather this sum-
mer. Fearfully hot in June and strangely
cool in July. 1t won't last very long,
though. The probability is that to-day will
show general rise in temperature through
out the whole country. Savannah's out
look is for fair weather, slightly warmer.

MELONS GETTING SCARCE.
Prices Go Up as the Season Draws to
an End.

The lovers of the luscious watermelon
and the juicy cantaloupe are painfully sur
prised to see the supply of their favorite
edibles rapidly decreasing, with CORE
spending increase in the market price. The
supply of both varieties of the melon has
been very abundant this year. Both came
on the market early and in large quantities.
There has been falling Off in the supply
in the last few days. The cantaloupe season
is nearly ended and good fruit is now COM
manding 10 to II cents by the hundred, with
the prospect of higher prices.
The expectation was that the market
would be glutted with watermelons this
month. On account of the failure of the
melon exchange it was thought the growers
would send more me.ons to the
home market, and this, with the sup
ply furnished by the neighboring fields,
would abundautly furnish the city. There
is mistake in the calculation somewhere.
There were plenty of good melons on the
market during last week, but they brought
good prices.
The truth is, the greater portion of the
crop has been marketed. The late crop
will supply the season from now on, but
there is no likelihood of glut.
The melons from Southwest Georgia con-
tinue TO go north in large quantities, this
paying the growers better than to place
them on the home market

THE REPUBLICAN MACHINE.
It Will be Started for the Summer
Campaign To-day.

The republican county executive commit
tee will meet at the colored ODD Fellows
hall at noon to-day, called by the chairman,
L. NJ. Peasants (colored), to deliberate on
the future Of the party in this county, and
to decide whether it will put county or a
legislative ticket, or both, in the field.
Col j. H. Deveaux, who is a member Of
the committee, will hardly be present at the
meeting, but whether he will keep away to
show his belief that the civil service law
bars him out, or because he does not want
to side with either of the two factions, is
not known.
Peasants is an Inspector of customs, and
as he is none too well liked among some of
his colored brethren, who are jealous Of his
prominence as party leader, it is not I'M
likely that charges will be brought against
him for taking an active part in politics
while holding a government office, if he
should participate in the meeting to-day.
The prediction is freely made that Pleas
ants cannot be reelected chairman of the
county and the congressional committees,
both of which positions he now holds.
There is a rumor to the effect that Col. A.
E. Buck, chairman of the republican exec
utive committee, will be in the city to-day,
while others, who claim to be better posted
say that Col. A. N. Wilson, who has been
in Savannah for the past week, Is here as
Col. Bucks lieutenant, and that Col. Buck
will not come to Savannah until the time of
holding the congressional convention.

MlNNA IRVING, THE PoRTEss,

Married Over Again, Because the
First Marriage was on Friday.
PEEKsKILL, July lit was made public
to-day by the filing of certificate in the
bureau Of vital statistics that Minna Irving
and Irving H. Delamater were married a
second time on Saturday last by the Rev.
Daniel Mccartney. Mr.. Delamater was
formerly a cadet at West Point They
were married first on Friday Oct. Is, of last
year. Miss Irving did not consider Friday
a lucky day, but she had to consent to
have marriage ceremony performed on
that day because Mr.. Delamater could not
get leave of absence from West Point on
any other day. The couple and their friends
discussed the question as to whether there
was anything in Friday being an unlucky
day, and Mrs. Delamater became so worried
over the matter that it was decided to have
second marriage ceremony performed.
Considerable difficulty was experienced in
inducing the bureau of vital statistics to
accept the certificate, as Mrs. Delamater
was confused when she was asked to say
whether she was single, widowed or
divorced at the time of the second mar
riaPe.

OTHER MILLS TO COME.
THE NEW COTTON FACTORY
OPERATING 1900 sPINDLEs.

Fifteen Hundred Pounds OF Yarn, the
Present Daily Product, to be Doubled
In Augustine New Factory Be-
lieved to be the Beginning of the
Cotton Mill Industry in Savannah.
One of the most promising enterprises Of
the city is the Savannah Cotton Mills. re-
Gently put in operation on the Thunderbolt
road, opposite the Savannah, Florida and
Western yards. The mills are turning out
about 800 pounds of yarn daily, with the
machinery now employed, but the full
equipment has not yet been set up. Maj.
Warfield, superintendent and manager of
the factory, says he hopes TO get all the
machinery ready within a month, so { hat
the mill can work up to its full capacity Of
5000 pounds daily.
The mill has 800 spindles, and the ma
chinery throughout is Of the latest designs,
much of il working noselessly and smoothly.
The extensive machinery on the two floors
of tie factory is driven by a 250-horse
power Corliss engine, and fifty persons are
employed in the mill, principally skilled
labor. When the mill is run TO its full ca
pacity it will employ eighty persons.
The factory ia one of only about twelve
in this country that has in operation a
patent dryer, in which the vet cotton,
dlbeI ~ SOIIlSS
is passed through dry house on revolv-
ing carriage operated mechanically, and
comes out as dry as a bone. Twenty
minutes elapse from the time the wet cot
ton is fed into one end of the machine until
it comes out at the other end, with every
particle Of the moisture evaporated.
Throughout the entire mill the machinery
is labor-saving and has been built with the
view of turning out at a minimum expense
yarns of the finest quality of manufacture.
and these machines represent the most
practical and scientific inventions Of Eng
land and this country. 1t is intesting to
watch them work, as they seem to perform
their functions with almost human intelli-
gence.
Maj Warfield is highly pleased with the
future prospects Of the mill, and he expects
when the contract season opens in Septem-
Der that he will have no trouble in arrang-
ing for the output CT the mill for the year.
In fact, he says. he has no doubt of the
success of the mill, and he expressed the
belief that it is only the beginning of the
cotton mill industry Of Savannah. He says
that no better location can be found for
cotton factories than at Savannah, and he
predicts that there will be other and pfoba-
bly, larger factories established here on
account of the many advantages Savannah
offers

grass plants this week. He complains of
the scarcity of labor. Mr.. Powers says the
court is to be further ornamented with beds
of flowers laid off in artistic designs.
When Mr.. Powers goes on to New York
next Monday he will invite designs for the
fountain. He says it is the intention to

keeping with the magniicence of the hotel
property.
In the tourist season it is expected that
the force employed at the De Soto will
range somewhere between 125 and $50 per-
sons. Only small proportion of the forcs
has thus far been engaged. As far as prac-
ticable the employees Of the Pulaski will be
retained by the lessees of the De Soto. The
