Pay for tho seamen on the Amadis.
Capt. Weed of the yatch Amadis, which
was detained a day or two ago by the
government authorities on the ground of
suspicion that she was to be used in
flibustering expedition, has as yet re-
ceived nothing definite from the owner,
c. II. kimball of Cleveland, o., and is
still here waiting to know what he de-
sires done. The charter money for the
yacht has been paid. and the captain and
first engineer are taken care of, but the
other members of the crew were not
paid by n. y. Borden, who hired them,
and Capt. Weed has been celebrating
as to whether he should so to Fernandina
to see If he could collect their wages from
Borden. He win wait. however, to hear
from the yachts owner with regard to
what course to pursue, and as soon as he
settles up all his business here he will re-
turn at once to Boston.
There seems to have been some ques-
tion as to the right of the government
to detain the yatch, it having been re-
ported that this question was raised by
Borden in Florida, and it has been sug-
gested that he will take some steps
against those responsible for the detention
of the la Gonda at Fernandina, and the
seizure of the arms which she had aboard
Nothing has been heard, however, as to
whether he intends to take any such
steps with regard to the detention of the
Amadis, and, in fact. no word has been
received from him since the arrival of
the yacht in this port.

William Blodgett, colored, was arrested
by Detective Morgan yesterday and put
in jail on an indictment found at the
March term of the superior court in
1891 charging him with assault with in
tent to murder William Brooks, in
the early part of that year at the Cen

HOBBS AND TRAINMEN SHOOT.
Conductor Frazier and a Lot of Bumper
Tourists EXCHANGE Compliments.

tourists EXCHANGE COmpllme
Conductor Frazier, who runs a freight
train on the Lyons branch of the savan-
nah and Western railroad, had quite a
lively experience with lot of tramps a
short distance out of Savannah night be-
fore last.
In pulling out from the city the train was
boarded by several tourists, who do not
stop a the De Soto when they come to
Savannah. They took possession Of an
empty box car and had evidently pre-
pared to take an excursion into the wilds
of wiregrass Georgia. Their presence
aboard the train was discovered when it
reached the seven mile post.
The train was stopped and the gentle
men from Florida were invited to dis
embark. The request was couched in
terms plain and not exactly parliament
tary. Ii was obeyed, however, AS the
train was pulling away from the scene
the tramps drew revolvers and began fir
ing at Conductor Frazier and his porter.
who were on the rear platform. Conduc-
tor Frazier and one of the train hands
drew revolvers and fired back at the party.
No one was hit aboard the train Whether
any of the tramps were hit is not known.
Master of Transportation Cubbedge of
the Central, said yesterday that the con-
ductors of freight trains on the line are
having great deal of trouble this season
with tramps, who seem to throng the coun-
try. The destruction of the orange crop
in Florida by the recent freeze has driven
hundreds of them from that state, and
they now seem to be wandering westward.
They wait for the freight trains at the
way stations and water tanks and slip
into the empty box cars. As the freight
trains are run mostly at night the tramps
have little trouble in making their way
aboard. There is hardly a freight train
coming into or leaving Savannah now
that does not have from one TO a dozen
"hobos" as passengers.

TOURISTS ON THE MOVE.

The Season Looks Like a Better One
Than Has Been Seen in Two or Three
Years.
The tourist business is rapidly picking
up, and the season is becoming a lively
one The De Soto is filed with guests,
and the evenings around the hotel are
looking lvelier than they have done in
some time.
The Florida hotels at Jacksonville, St
Augustine and along the Indian river
route have opened for the season and
they are rapidly filing up. The Savan-
nah, Florida and Westerns New York
and Florida vestibuled train is carrying
tourists south at the rate of seventy
tive to 100 every day. and rarely goes
through but that it is filed with pas
sengers. The other trains into Florida
from the north are also doing good
business, and the northern tourists are
fast leaving their colder climates for
warmer regions. The prospects seem to
be that the tourist season will be heavier
than that OF last year. and better than
it has been for the last two or three
years. The times seem to have improved
financially with the tourist class. and they
are on the move
