THE TIDE OF TOURISTS.
The Season at Its Eight, and a Big
One 1t Is.

The Season at Its Eight, and a Big
One 1t Is.
Northern tourists, most of whom have
been spending the winter in Florida, are re-
turning north now in large numbers, and
the daily vestibule train from Jacksonville
is generally filed TO the limit of its capacity
up to Savannah at least.
From 60 to 10 per cent. of these tourists
stop in Savannah from day or two up TO
two months, and at present the limit Of
first-class accommodations here for this
portion Of the travelling public has about
been reached. The tide of travel, however,
is a ceaseless one, aud crowds go OUT about
as rapidly as they come in.
The daily arrivals of tourists here at this
time Of the season runs all the way from
100 to 800, and many OF them often go on
through because they are unable to secure
the accommodations they desire. For the
past week both the De Soto and Pulaski
hotels have been filed to OVERLOOKING,
and night after night guests have been
turned away from both these houses for
lack of rooms to accommodate them. These
two hotels together can accommodate
about 1000 guests, and they will
probably remain in a crowded condition
for some weeks yet as the returning season
for tourists is just at his hight In many
instances people have been able TO secure
accommodations only by telegraphing
ahead for them day or two beforehand
In speaking of the tourist season Mr. H.
B. Plant said yesterday:
Il have not yet made out my report, so
am unable to give any exact figures as yet
in regard to the travel over our lines this
season, but / have no doubt but that the
season is far in advance Of any previous sea-
son in regard to numbers. The Florida
hotels have been full during the entire
winter, aud they have all had a rushing
business. The Tampa Bay hotel and the
Inn have both been crowded with guests
during the entire season.
The season is closing now, however, aud
most of the travel is going from Florida in
stead OF toward that state. / have every
reason TO believe that the reports will show
a much larger season than last year."

a BAD SOHEDuLR.

People in Northwestern Florida Com
plain of the Railroad Service.
Numerous letters have been received
lately by the MORNING NEWS from parties
living at Mariana, Greenwood and other
points IN Northwestern Florida, complain
ing OF the wretched railroad service they
are given. the Inconvenience being almost
as much in the late arrival of their mails
and newspapers as in the numerous delays
passengers are subjected to in going to and
returning from Savannah from those points.
As matter of fact IL now takes about
thlrty-six hours to reach Mariana, Fla,
from Savannah unless a passenger chooses
to take roundabout route and 90 to Mont
gomery by the Alabama Midland and from
there down the Pensacola and Atlantic and
take that road to Mariana, which route
shortens the trip by about six hours. The
difficulty lies in the bad schedule on a short
branch line of the Savannah, Florida and
Western from cambridge Junction TO
Chattahoochee, distance of just thirty
one miles. The morning train on
the Savannah, Florida and Western reaches
cambridge junction about 2 80 O'Clock o. N.
There IL then no train on this short branch
until about o'clock the next morning. This
train then makes the run to Chattahoochee
In little over an hour and passengers for
Pensacola and points between have TO wait
until O'Clock in the afternoon before they
can get train on thePensacola and At
lantic. 1t will be seen, therefore, that by
simple change from a morning to an after
noon train on that 3l-mile branch road
people along the Pensacola and Atlantic can
reach Savannah or return to those points
from here In twelve to fourteen hours. The
schedule coming this way is just about as
bad.
The matter Of bad schedule has caused
great deal of inconvenience and loss of
trade to Savannah, as we'll as to the peopls
in that part OF Florida, who really suffer
most by 1t. They are dependent to great
extent upon the papers for their information
in regard TO markets, as many of them must
OF necessity have this information. The
MORNING sNEws goes now by Mont
gomery, reaching these points just thirty
hours after its publication, instead Of
twelve, as would be the case IL the
proper schedule could be obtained.
Savannah has no doubt lost a good
deal Of trade from just this course and it
would hardly come amiss to suggest to
those In authority to put a proper schedule
on the branch road referred to.
The Savannah, Florida and Western Of
fcials state that this branch road is in
charge Of Supt Durham Of the Alabama
Midland. If such Is the case, said gentle
man yesterday, he either has no conception
OF the needs Of the people in that section, or
Is seeking the business for his road by way
of Montgomery, which is an extremely
roundabout route.

TIE MAY CELEBRATION.

Good Work Done Yesterday by the
Finance Committee.
The finance committee for the May week
celebration has been organized and at work
scarcely two days, yet they raised about
$4,000 of the 10000 for which it asks.
The committee has met with no outright
refusals, but finds an apparent willingness
on the part Of almost every one to contribute
literally to the fund. Chairman Levy said
yesterday that In almost every instance the
subscriptions have been larger than they
were in preceding years, and that
there is no doubt but that the work Of rails
ing the required amount will be COMPILE ted
in q few days.
The banks OF the city will be asked to
purchase some of the invitations to send out
to their customers in order that their names
may be put on the list along with those of
the other firms of the city.
The boarding houses and hotels are asked
to furnish their location and capacity for
accommodating guests as early as possible
in order that the directory committee may
complete the map and directory which Is
to be issued with the Invitations
The programme committee held another
meeting last night, and many interesting
suggestions were offered In regard to
features which may be introduced. The
Merchants week headquarters has lively
business air about it every night now, and
rapid progress is being made with the de-
tail work before those in charge. The
finance committee will be ready to report
about the first of next week, and then some
definite programme will be mapped out.

Policeman O'Neal Offsets to Being
Asked Not to II-Ureat Man.
Policeman O'Neal was called upon at the
thester last night to remove Charles Maxim
because he was disturbing the audience by
loud talking. The officer escorted Mr.
Maxim to the box Office, where the manager
rendered him his admission fee and asked
him to leave. He started to object-not in
O'Neal SAID
Get out, OF I'll fire you out.n
Hold on a minute, my friend" answered
Maxim, you're wrong about this want
to see the show"
The reply nettled the policeman and
grabbing Maxim roughly by the shoulders
he threw him out of the door and down the
steps. He fell upon his knees, cutting one
Of them.
Several citizens who witnessed the affair
expostulated with Policeman O'Neal for his
unnecessary rough treatment Of Maxim, and
the officer turned upon them and in a surly
manner answered: Mind your own bust
ness; its none of you're business"
One Of them replied that is was citizens
right to object to such matters, aud Police
man O'Neal again responded angrily with
Its none Of your business. have mind
to put you on the docket for interfering
with an officer"
The policeman's conduct was reported a,
the barracks and Chief Green will have a
thorough investigation of the matter to-
night at 6 o'clock.

TAKING COTTON BY THE BALE.
River Pirates Unique Method OF Rob-
biuR the Central Wharves.

I
| bling the Central Wharves.
! For months bales Of cotton have been oc-
casionally missed from that portion Of the
| Ocean Steamship Company's wharves on
the river near the grain elevator. The cot
ton was always carried of at night, and in
such mysterious manner that the officials
| of the company were battied for an ex-
PLANTATION.
Finally few weeks ago, after a large
number Of bales had been carried of, de-
tectives were called into consultation. They
at once decided that river pirates had been
doing the work and suggested TO the officials
20 employ watchmen 20 look out for the
marauders This was done, but 1t awaited
nothing. The cotton was still disappearing
and nobody was seen carrying it of.
Night before last a little before midnight
Policeman Sweeney was standing at the
end OF the wharf nearest the Boston slip
when he heard a splash as IL somebody had
fallen overheard. 1t was bale of cotton,
however. AS be neared the cotton section
he saw a figure moving about, and without
asking any explanation the policeman drew
his revolver and opened fire. the object Of
his craftsmanship meantime running to-
ward the elevator.
The firing attracted the attention of the
other wharf policeman and they were soon
alongside of Sweeney 10 know the cause. A
lantern was secured and the police climbed
down in the mud and threw the search
light underneath the big elevator.
Crouched in a corner. 10 60 his
knees in mud, was a negro. The officers
threatened TO kill him unless he sur
rendered, and the fellow crawled out. He
gave his name as Isaac Solomons. and
made full confession. He said his boat
would be found in the river near the wharf
with bale of cotton near 1t in the water.
Everything turned out as Solomons said,
and the cotton was secured.
The negro said he and Joe Brown had
been stealing cotton from the Central for
months. Their mode of procedure was TO
wait until spring tides, when the water
would be high, and then roll a bale or two
overheard, 30 as it would not make much
Of splash, tie ropes around the bales and
tow them to Hutchinson's Island. There
the bales were opened and the cotton
bagged and taken to Button and Hilton
Head and sold 20 small dealers.
Policeman Lysaught caught Brown yes
terday morning and Justice Naughtin COM
mitted both to jail TO await trial before the
superior court.

NAVAL STORES INCREASING.
Mr.. Plant Speaks Favorably Of Con-
structinR Turpentine Tanks.

Mar. Plant Speaks FaVOraDly OF Con
structinR Turpsntine Tanks.
The naval stores men have been urging
upon the Savannah, Florida and Western
officials the Importance and necessity Of the
| construction OF turpentine storage tanks
here on the company's wharves, ia order
that this port, which is the largest naval
stores port ia the world, might successfully
compete with London In the turpentine
trade. London has such tanks, where tur-
pentine ls stored and kept without loss
from leakage until demands strengthen the
market and increase abe price.
The matter was considered favorably by
the officials Of the Savannah, Florida and
Western and was referred to Mr.. Plant.
The construction OF the tanks seem 60 have
received favorable consideration from Mr.
Plant who said yesterday in speaking Of the
matter:
Nothing has been definitely decided as
yet in regard 10 that matter, but the engt-
neer Of the road is figuring on plans, and
the question will be given full considera-
ton.
II am always ready 20 take any steps TO
benefit the commercial interests Of Savau-
nah that are practicable and within proper
bounds. Such has been and is now the poll
10y of the road, aud whatever we are able
to do to advance those interests will be
done
The naval stores men are making every
endeavor to have their plans carried through
successfully, and il is 30 be hoped that the
Savannah, Florida and W estern win see the
necessity for the construction of such tanks.
The turpentine now stored 10 tanks at Lon
don amounts to 4l,9l6 barrels, against
1865 at this time last year
and 11,577 IN 1890 This is kept
there without loss until prices advance
when 1t is put on the market. With the
tanks here the great proportion Of this tur
pentine could be kept here and merchants
would receive the benefit from the storage
OF it, and the prevention of loss from leak
age.
The receipts Of naval stores show a
marked and phenomenal increase over
those Of last year. Up TO yesterday 1,010, =
43S barrels of rosin had been received ab
this port during the season about to close,
and 10, 43S Of these have been received dur
ing the past week. The receipts up to the
same date last year were $780, $40 bar
rels or an increase this year
of 159,59s barrels over last. OF
the rosin received this year but little over
10000 barrels are now on the wharves, the
remainder having been exported.
Turpentine receipts have increased In the
same ratio. Up to yesterday 276 1877 ba.-
rels had been received at this port, against
239, Sl5 barrels up to the same date last
yelr, an increase of As, 342 barrels. There
is no doubt but that Savannah is the fore
most naval stores port of the world. and no
efforts should be lost to push its success even
higher than it has gone.
