THE PEACH CROP OUTLOOK.
The Usual Talk About q Short Cror
Advices from the Orchards

The Usual Talk About a Short Crop.
Advices from the Orchards.
The peach crop appears to be late this
year. The Savannah fruit handlers have
not heard anything from the peach growers
yet with regard to handling this years crop,
which is pretty good indication that the
crop is late.
By this time usually the commission men
are receiving notices of the shipments of
early peaches. They have no exact infor-
nation Of the sszs Of the crop, but it is
generally believed that it will be a short
one.
One of the largest handlers of domestic
fruit IN the city said yesterday that he did
not think there will be over one-quarter of
crop. The cold snaps in the spring, he
said, certainly did great damage to the
crop. He had been informed by a grower
from Teninlls that the crop win be very
short there, and the same conditions doubt
less exist throughout that whole section.
That is the peach~growing section Of Geor-
gla, and when the shipments from Marshall
vile, Fort Valley and Tennille are taken out
the peach crop practically amounts to MOTH
ing, so far as shipments are concerned.
Just the opposite from this view of the
crop another commission dealer. a young
man who is pretty well acquainted with
tne rulI-RroWlnS sectlon or Georgia, said
that he believed there will be a full crop
this year.
II saw plenty of peaches on the trees
when was in Atlanta the other day. he
said, sand l see the trees around Savannah
have good crop on them. and don't see
why the peaches should be killed in the
country between here and Atlanta if they
are not killed at either of these points"
Another shipper thought there is going to
be short crop. He had not heard from
the growers at all this year, and in previous
years he usually had peaches for sale by
May 20 He says the crop is ten or fifteen
days late anyway.
Another shipper said he had no advices
from the growers, but he would not be sur
prised If there was full crop. Reports of
short crops. he said, are common every
year, but the peaches usually come in in
quantities, and generally in larger quanti-
ties than the shippers care to handle. Last
year was the only year for long time that
the peach crop was a dead failure
All the fruit and vegetable crops are said
to be from ten to fifteen days late. The
Florida watermelon crop is also late.

scoTTDALE, Pa, May 90. Reports indi-
cate that 10000 men will be at work Mon
day morning. 1t is now probable that the
w. ]. Rainey and other independent conn
panies who have been paying the old wages
will force the cheaper Frick sliding scale
on their men. The strike may
yet cause considerable trouble. All dur
ing the contest the operators said
that when the strike was over
they would punish the leaders, and, they
seem now to be carrying out their threat
Yesterday men kept sWarming to the offices
for work. but 10 every case where aleader
or active committee man applied be was re-
fused and told there was no JOB for him.
A THOUSAND BLACKLIsTED. Is aa
The indications to-day are that fully
1000 names of leaders have been placed on
the black list. Men reported at the labor
headquarters that they have asked for
work at six or seven places and as
often been turned away. For the
past twenty-four hours the leaders have
been disposed to let the strike 60 by the
board, which in a measure caused rush
for work, but they now declare that the
region must sustain them. With such a
great number of delegates idle the strike
spirit is possible to be revived again in a
few weeks

A DAMAGE SUIT DISMISS ED.

Sudden Ending of a Case Against the
Charleston and Savannah Railway.
The case Of Toby Hazard against the
Charleston and Savannah railway for $500
damages came to an abrupt termination
yesterday afternoon by a dismissal by the
PLAINTIFFS attorneys, O'Connor q O'Byrne,
stter the largest part Of the evidence had
oeen submitted TO the Jury.
q haZzard's house in Southville, near the
savannah and Charleston, and Savannah,

py lre started from the sparks of the loco
no1IVe or passing train. Hazard
tnoughtlt was Charleston and Savannah
train and brought suit against that corpo
ration. All the evidence for the plaintiff
was taken yesterday, and an apparently
good case mad been made out. Hon. F. g.
uublgnon, counsel for the railway, put up
the engineer and fireman of the Charleston
ana Savannah train which was supposed
20 have started the fire. Both swore posi-
lively that the house was burning
@hen their train passed. This
evidence @9d backed sSs NJ up BY ;,; other
asked the court to dismiss the case under
the circumstances. He said after ward,
however, that the dismissal did not mean
The end. A new suit will be filed against
both the Savannah, Florida and Western
and Charleston and Savannah. and then it
WI be found which corporation is respon-
Eible.
The case was being tried by eleven jury
men. Gustave Kiesling, after being sworn,
suggested that it would probably be illegal
Tor him to try the issues. as he was the
party who had called out the FIRE depart
nent by telephone TO the fro, and conse-
quently knew something about it. Judge
Harden ruled that he was disqualified, and
counsel on both sides agreed TO continue the
case with the remaining eleven jurymen.

Kidding THE CRIMINALS.
THREE MURDERER5 CONVICTED IN

"King Solomon" Acquitted - Con,
ductor Mauerd's Assailant Sentenced
tol5even' Years Imprisonment-Horse
Thief Eardee Creates a Scene in
Court.
The Liberty superior court, which ad-
iourned Friday, disposed Of one Of the
LARGEST criminal dockets in that county for
a long time.
Robert Oxendine. the North Carolina
rs1ro-Indian who murdered James Jones
an Nov. II, 1889, near Johnston's Station,
was convicted and given a life sentence.
THE Jury was out all night on the case, and
the verdict was a compromise. Hon.
Thomas II. Norwood of this city defended
Oxendine.
Wright Wells was given a similar sem
t.1ce for killing Charles Handlers last Sep
tember.
Andrew Dean, the jailor who was charged
with killing Shadrick Waltham, known as
King Solomon, was acquitted. Solicitor
General Fraser asked for an involuntary
mansIaughter verdict, but the jury re-
turned a verdict Of not guilty after short
elaboration.
Neieh Roberts, who killed Harry Lawson
last month, was found guilty of involun-
tary manslaughter, and was sentenced to
one year in the penitentiary. Roberts denied
that he had any intention Of killing Lawson,
and protested that the shooting was an acci-
dent. The jury took the same view of it,
but found him guilty on account of his
carelessness. The sentence is the lightest
that could have been imposed.

Savannah, Florida and Western train and
attempted to kill Conductor Farris several
months ago near Mcintosh, was convicted
and sentenced to seven years in the peni-
tertiary.

for burglary, and Sam Tucker for six
months for simple larceny.

stealing and sentenced to four years. Har-
dee created quite a scene in the court room
when his case was called. Judge Falligant
asked him if he desired counsel, and
Hardee shouted out at the top of his
voice: AZ don't want counsel; I'll
defend myself. Judge Falligant ordered him
TO shut his mouth, but the man grew more
excited and yelled: 81 don't care il you
are Judge. 1 won't shut my mouth. don't
want counsel" The sheriff was ordered to
take charge of the prisoner, but when he
started toward him Hardee drew sharp
pointed stick and threatened to brain him.
it took the united efforts Of four stalwart
men to subdue Hardee, who had to be
chooked into Inconsistencies.
Judge Falligant, Solicitor General Fraser
and Hon. William Clifton will leave to-day
for Darien. Mcintosh superior court con-
venes there tomorrow. The docket is a
very light one. and everything will be
cleared off by Wednesday or Thursday.
