TOURISTS GROWING SCARCE.

People Going North Rapidly and Flor
ida Almost Empty.
The week just ended about winds up the
tourist season for Savannah. February and
March were the months during which the
heaviest business was done, and from the
last of March until now the tourist travel
has gradually fallen of.
The fact is Florida is almost empty, and
there are very few people left there now
but the residents. The hotels at Tampa
and Tampa Bay. in Southern Florida, closed
for the season some two or three weeks ago,
and those at st. Augustine and Jacksonville
close tomorrow.
For more than six weeks these tourists on
their way north arrived 10 Savannah at the
rate OF 800 day, many Of them going
straight through, as the hotels here were
too crowded to afford them convenient &C.
commodations, and during the season it Is
estimated that no less than 80, 600 northern
visitors stopped in Savannah on their way
back home. For more than two months all
the hotels in the city were full to overflow
ing, and guests were often turned away
for want of accom- odations even
on cots. But now there is room
enough for all, and the crowd grows less
and less as the heated season advances.
The tourist season with the hotels here
ends t1ually on May l, as at that date they
reduce their forces to that required for the
summer season. The season has been a
large one, the hotel proprietors say, and
fnlly 20 per cent. greater than any proceed
ing season for the last three or four years.

But the Price of Naval Stores Is on the
Upward Trend.
The naval stores season Of '93-94 is bu.
two weeks old, and yet there have been
such changes in the status of the maket to
warrant a strong hope that this year will
be prosperous one in that line.
The receipts for the first two weeks of
April have fallen off nearly 40 Der cent.
from what they were during the CORE
spouding two weeks last year. and the con-
sequence has been an upward trend in the
prices, with promiss of further
advance Last year the receipts
of rosin during the first two weeks of April
we're "A ,234 barrels and this year
20, 800, or t decrease 3 ,S44 barrels. Those Of
turpentine during the Same tins during
1892 were 1886 casks and this year we're
3 ,G2l, or a decrease of 3 ,B45 casks.
This enormous decrease IN the receipts
has h0d its effect already, and the quota
lions on naval stores are on the upward
trend. The dealers say that the receipts
this year will hardly he as large as last, and
they think tire prospects for further i'd
vance very bright.

The Supreme Court to Hear Appeals OF
Blois and Hayward Tomorrow.
The supreme court will tomorrow re-
view the cases of Marion Hayward and Joe
Blois, two of the condemned murderers of
August W, Meyers. The general impress
sion here is that the Judgment of the supe-
rior court will be sustained. If this is done
Judge Falligant will resentence Hayward
and Blois 10 death next week.
Judge Falligant has not yet rendered his
decision on the motion for new trial for
Jim Gay, the other member OK the gang
also under sentence of death. The motion
was argued at the same time with those of
Blois aud Hayward. but the alibi point
raised by Gays counsel has caused the de-
lay in the decision, as Judge Falligapt has
been looking up authorities on the subject.
Gay tried to prove an alibi, aud in charging
the jury Judge Falligant made no reference
TO the abb feature. For this reason the
condemned mans attorneys asked for new
trial. A decision will probably be given
by Judge Falligaut in the case this week.

TRUCK FOR NORTHERN MARKETS.
Large Percentage of the Supply
Goes North via Savannah.

| A Large Percer taRe of the Supply
Goes North via Savannah.
Few people have any idea Of the large
amount of truck shipped from Savannah
daily to supply the large consumption of
the northern markets. And further that
this immediate section of Georgia, Florida
and South Carolina probably supplies the
Baltimore, Philadelphia, New York and
Boston markets with the greater portion Of
the vast supply that they consume daily.
Yet such are the facts. This IS one of the
largest truck growing sections OF
the world, and while Savannah
is being considered as the fore
most naval stores port, and the second cotton
port of the world its truck shipments
should be considered and taken account OF
as they bring to this section an immense
amount Of money every year. The bulk Of
the business just at present comes from
Northern Florida and the extreme southern
sections Of Georgia. but Savannah truck
growers are beginning TO get their share Of
it, and before many days heavy shipments
from the neighborhood Of this city will be
In full swing.
The Kansas City on its last trip to New
York carried $50 refrigerators OF straw
berries and asparagus alone, besides ten or
fifteen carloads of potatoes, cas-, cabbage
and tomatoes, The Boston and New York
ships each carry from twenty-five to thirty
carloads Of early vegetables TO the northern
ports on each trip, but altogether there are
five of them out Of Savannah each week
Besides these there are tho steamers to
Baltimore and also the Dessoug to Phila-
delphia, each of which carries twenty-five
or more carloads of truck on each trip.
There were shipped from one Florida point,
Winter Haven, J, 500 crates Of tomatoes In
one day last week, and instances are numer-
GUS of like shipments of tomatoes, cabbage
lettuce aud other truck from Florida and
Georgia points.
But this is not all. The steamers
handle not more than half the business at
the outside. The Southern Express Com
pany comes in for its share OF the business,
and in small lots it carries immense quaint
ties of truck 30 the northern markets, as it
has cars on three or four northern trains
leaving every day.
Then comes the through freight, which
perhaps does the largest business Of all.
Tomorrow morning the Coast Line will
put on fast through freight train to run
on passenger schedule between Savannah
and New YORK, especially for
carrying perishable goods. The
freights have been heretofore carrying
large shipments Of the less perishabls truck,
but now that a special train for the purpose
will be put on it is estimated that it will
carry thirty carloads or more daily. AL
together the business is a vast one, and it
will be seen from the above that no less
than sixty 90 seventy cars of truck leave
Savannah daily for the northern markets.
The season is not yet at its hight and the
shipments are increasing in volume daily.
