There are but few months I'M the year

Structures iu different portions of the
city.
The dull season, however, is approach
ing. and permits for only fifteen new
structures were granted during May as
against thirty-nine during April The
large number OF permits taken ont last
month is probably explained by the TACT
that i'm many cases the soil had 90 be up

Commissions Set in and His Death
Expected Any Time.
Charles Hancock, who was injured
night before last by falling of the market
bridge, was stilLalivc last night, but was
gradually growing weaker.
He regained consciousness. yesterday
morning and told how the accident hap
pened He said he stepped back to let
the car pass out, missed his footing and
went down on the stone steps. This
accounts for the fracture at the base of
the skull, his head having struck against
the edge of one of the steps.
DR.. Dunn has no hopes for Hancock's
recovery and thinks it only question of
short time when death win ensue.
HemolThages continue, and he had sew
eral commissions yesterday.
1t was a singular coincidence that the
victims of both accidents on the Electric

the cOlored boy who was injured on Duffy
street, lived within about 100 feet of each
other, the former at Hall and MOntgom-
cry streets and the latter in Hall street

WILL BE ONLY HALF A CROP.
Peaches Scarce but Other Fruit Up to
the Average.

reaches Scarce but Other Fruit Up to
the Average.
From all the indications received up to
date lovers of the juicy peach are des-
tined to meet with many disappointments
this year.
Not only is the crop far short
of the average and that of last
year, but it seems that this years
fruit win not, on the average
be as fine as great deal Of that received
year ago. From the advices received by
dealers it seems that the crop will reach
scarcely one-half Of what it did last
season. The crop then was not an I'M
usually heavy one, but this year it seems
the yield will be far below the average.
INJURED BY STORM.
The cause of this, some think was late
frosts, but,as a matter of fact, frOsts have
had very little TO do with it. The recent
heavy rain and hail storms which
have prevailed in almost every section of
Georgia are responsible. The blossoms
and the young fruit have in many in
stances been stripped from the trees.
The principal peach-prOducing sections,
which send their fruit into Sa-
vannah, are around Gordon, Oconee,
Mcintyre, Tennille and other
small towns on the Central and
sam ROADS. Al eaeh OF these places the
crop has been damaged, and some pro-
ducers so so far as to predict that the
crop will be only One-fourth of what it
was last season. Others, however, make
a larger estimate
THE FLORIDA CROP SHORT.
Peaches have been coming to Savannah
the past ten days from Florida points,
and there also the crop is shorter than
usual. Florida however, has a compare
lively small yield. The indications too,
are that the fruit this year win not be as
large or of as fine favor as usual
The Central railroad is preparing to
move 5000 cars of watermelons from its
own immediate territory this year. This
is in addition to the business transferred
to it by other lines
The first car of watermelons of the
season will be moved by the Central to-
day. They are Florida melons and will
be delivered to the Central at Albany
From Albany TO Atlanta the Central will
take the car by a special train. 1t will
then be turned over to the Western and
Atlantic and carried to Cincinnati it's des-
tinatiOn.

THE REPORTS FROM TEXAS.
They Indicate a Big Increase in Cot
ton Over Last Year.

ton Over Last Year.
Cotton men are deeply interested in the
reports of the cotton crop in Texas. The
reports show that nearly the entire crop
has been planted April the Houston
Post published reports as to the acreage
being and to be planted this year, and
these reports showed an increase of Is to-.
20 per cent. throughout the state Many
were of the opinion that this increase was
somewhat excessive and exaggerated.
The present reports show conclusively
that the increase in Texas this
year, compared with last, can
very cOnservatively be placed at from
10 to 10 per cent. New counties, which
have but recently begun the cultivation
OF cotton, and report increased acreage
ranging from 100 to 900 per cent. are not
taken into account. The large cotton
growing counties show material in
crease, while the only decrease is in few
of the wheat growing counties in the
northern part of the state
In 1890, according to the report of the
state agricultural department, Texas had
4O54, $50 acres in cotton, which yielded
1852, $50 bales. In 1897 the acreage was
increased to 4. $50. $40 and the production
was ,, 026 IA bales. From reports already
received for the year 1892 90 the approx
mate acreage was 4,000, 900 acres and the
yield l,150,000.
A good deal of early planted cotton, fully
10 per cent, has been replanted. During
the first two weeks after planting there
was drought and seed did not terminate
well. The drought, however, was fol-
lowed by bounteous rain, which were well
distributed throughout the state, and the
staple got a good start.
In few localities there was some dam
age by high winds and hail storms, but this
has not materially affected the general
crop Good stands and condition prevail
over 20 per cent. of the cotton region,
while the other 30 per cent is in bad
shape, owing to the early drought being
followed by overfows. The cool weather
of the last two weeks has not been favor
able TO a vigorous growth; but with a
fortnight of warm, open weather the
grass and weeds will soon be brought I'M
der subiection The crop is about ten to
fifteen days late on au average.

CONVICTED BY TWO JURIES.
TybeeS EI-Chiel Of Police Found
Guilty Twice.

An Appeal for Mercy-The Trouble
Gafney's Tongue Cot Him Into He
Cursed Mayor McDonough and Tried
to Raid a Club House to Arrest the
Porter-Druggists and Fruit Dealers
TO Be Tried To-day.
Frank d. Gafney, ex-chief of the
Tybee police force. was convicted liz the
city court yesterday oy two jurics of the
charge Of using obscene language on the
island in the presence of ladies and
falsely imprisOuing John Mclaughlin, Jr
I'm both instances the iuries recommended
him to mercy and sentence was deferred.
Galney, it Will be remembered, created
quite a sensation at Tybce last August by
cursing and abusing Mayor McDonough
in the pavilion Of the Tybee hotel on &C
count of a fine imposed by the
mayor on Mrs. Gaffney for an
alleged violation of the Sunday liquor
law. Several ladies were on the pavilion
at the time, but their presence did not
have dcterring effect upon Chief
Gaffney
The other case was the officers unlaw-
full arrest Of Mr. Mclaughlin at the
Rancho Club house because he objected
to Gaffney's entering the premises for the
purpose of arresting Ben jackson, the
COlOred porter The chief declined to
state why he wanted to arrest Jackson
and in consequence Mr. Mclaughlin pro-
tested against the invasion, with the re-
suit that ne was placed under arrest and
locked up III the guard house.
Tybee's council dismissed Chief Gaffney
on account of the trouble, and shortly
afterward the grand jury of the city
court indicted him. On his trial yester-
day Gaffney admitted that he had cursed
Mayor MCDOnOugh, but said he felt he
had right TO do so on account Of what
he considered the insulting of his wife by
the mayor. AS to the other case he
claimed to have arrested Mr.. McLauFh-
lin for interfering with an officer in the
discharge of his duty.
The jury were only locked up about
fifteen Minutes on each case. Hon w.
w. Osborne defended Gaffney.
Robert Fletcher (colored) was convicted
of assault and battery in the city court
last night and sentenced to pay fine Of
$50 and costs.
