ABRAMS RELEASED.

Almost IL Panic at fuckers Home
The Letter Writer Wanted.
Orlando, Fla, July 28.-Capt w. B.
Tucker, who was shot by Alfred ST. Clair
Abrams on Sunday night, is resting quiet
ly, and it is not believed that any serious
results will come from his wound. Mr.
Abrams was released late yesterday on
$1,000 bail, his friends at Tavares making
up his bond. They came over with it and
took Mr.. Abrams home with them on a
later train.
When it was known that he was to be
released there was almost a panic at the
house of the wounded man. His sister
who had so narrowly escaped the night
before, and the three little
children, feared that the man
who had attempted the life Of the
night and murder them ALL 1t was not
until they knew that he had left town that
they could be quieted.
The liveliest indignation prevails in the
community against the writer of the
anonymous letter which stirred up all of
the trouble. 1t seems that there Is some
one here who is given to this thing. Sew
eTal other letters have been received by
our citizens, all written in about the same
style. and each one rejecting upon the
private character of some citizen. False
charges have been made, and reflections
cast upon people who are above reproach.

tablished, II is probable that the tenn
perature of Orlando will be found some
what too warm for comfort, for this par
ticular individual.

THE CARNIVAL REGATTA.
Gaudaur Wins Hands Down in a
Very Pretty Race.

Halifax. N. s., July 2S.-The weather
was grand this afternoon for the opening
events Of the carnival regatta. 1t was
cool and pleasant for the spectators, and
the only difficulty of the oarsmen was
caused by a pretty stiff wind, making
the water somewhat rough at the begin
ming, but it moderated almost to a calm
before the last.
The single scull contest, the big event,
was concluded about 7:30 o'clock. There
We're seven starters-Gaudaur, Hanlon,
Bubear, Durham, Rogers, Casey and Low
EFT The prizes were $500, $3.50 and $780,
1t was a pretty race and sternly fought
near the end for second place, but it was
an easy victory for the favorite, Jake
Gaudaur, who pushed his shell in front
at the start and rowed quite leisurely
over the three mile course and finished
ahead, apparently without the least dis
comfort, by more than eight lengths
Durham was second, five feet ahead Of
Rogers, who was four feet ahead of Han
Ion. Lovett fouled buoy, was upset and
was picked up by rowboat.
Bubear and Casey dropped out. eau

WARNED AGAINST Rad MELONS.

Against Eating Them.

ASAAnsN Ealing Them.
The people OF Savannah are 10 be warn
ed against indiscriminate consumption OF
Watermelons. At the meeting OF the san
itary board yesterday a resolution was
adopted, requesting the health officer to
caution the citizens on this subject. In
speaking OF this matter 10 a Morning
News reporter. DR. Drummer said:
We do not wish 10 injure the trade
OF the people who produce or who sell
Watermelons. but IL is a fact nevcrthe-
less that great quantities OF melons are
sold in this market which are unfit TO
eat, and which are likely TO cause sick
ness II IS the indiscriminate eating OF
melons which We wish 10 caution the
public against. Without doubt there is
a great deal Of sickness caused at this
season by eating sickly melons. In hun
dreds of watermelon patches in this vi
cinity now the vines are dying from the
heat Of the sun, and the half grown mel
ons left on the vines are being ripened
by the same cause. These melons can
be easily detected. They have a yellow
sunbUrned appearance on one side, and
the green of the rind is not OF that
vivid type which marks the healthy mel
on There is often a neck at one end
Of the melon, with a tendency to rot. The
flesh Of these melons will be found to
be pale and not a bright red. These mel
ons are likely to be offered in great
quantities in the next few weeks. and 1t
is just as we'll that the people should be
put on notice that they are unhealthy"

NOISE IN CITIES.
a Movement In Several cities to Re-
duce II to "A Minimum.

duce IT to a Minimum.
From New York Commercial Advertiser.
The Medical Record now enters into
the warfare against the unnecessary
noises of the city reciting the suffering
of the victims of nervous diseases under
the inlicuon to which we have repeated
ly called the attention of those whose
duty It is to abate nuisances. It is
hardly probable that anybody will chal-
lenge the assertion that New York is
the noisiest great city in the world, and
that the most affective noises are I'M
necessary.
In Berlin, not long ago, a hotel porter
was fined for whistling, "for making
noise that disturbed the repose of the
public" Here 1t is the custom to treat
with contempt those persons who are
irritated by noises. Yet 1t was the opin-
ion Of Schopenhauer that only such peo-
pie are worthy of consideration and that
those who are Indifferent to noises are
intellectually dull, being 'insensible to
reasons, TO thoughts, to poetry and art,
and, in short, to mental Impressions of
every kind"
In a world where insomnia ahIicts null
titudes, we tolerate the rafting of loose
jointed, unoiled wagons on the stone pave
ments; we permit anybody TO keep a
barking dog or a shill-Voced parrot;
every pert miss may hammer a piano.

teamsters not ten feet apart yell at each
other as though there were half a mile

the changing gong of the street railway,
necessary in a measure but changed with
such ferocity as to bewilder instead of

bells, and especially the chimes, both I'M

versal clocks and watches, and worst Of
all, the screaming hucksters. old clothes
men and the bugle-blowiug knife-grinders
all conspire to make sleep impossible
to the nervous invalid and thought diff
cult to the studious.
1t is possible to insure a large measure
of quiet for the individuals and others
who are now annoyed by noises that
serve no useful purpose. There is not
a butcher boy or a grocery boy who could
not be compelled to moderate his noise.
There is not a bawling huckster but
would conceal his voice under menace
of a fine, not driver bat could be per-
