TTBEE SEASONS PROSPECTS.
A Daily Train Service to BE Put on
This Week.

Daily Train Service to BE Put on
This Week.
The Tybee season has not yet fully
opened. Many went down yesterday, how
ever, and spent the day on the island.
The summer schedules on the Tybee
road will not be put on for some days yet.
The season is later than usual, and the
hotel proprietors have not yet definitely
decided when they will open. Until the
hotels are thrown open the fun schedule
win not go into effect. Since April trains
have been run four days in the week, and
the same schedule will be maintained un-
til Wednesday when three trains a day
each way win be put on and will run
daily. The first train viii leave Tybee at
$50 o'clock in the morning, and returning
wish leave the city at $3.50 o'clock. The
next departure from the island will be at
II O'clock and this train win return, leav-
ing the city at 2:S0. The last
train will leave Tybee at $50 and Savan-
nah at 2 O'clock. 1t was intended to put
this schedule in operation to-day, but
some piling has to be driven at Lazaretto
creek bridge and moving the pile driver to
admit the passage of so many trains
would interfere with the work
With three trains a day each way only
one train crew is required, and this crew
VIII be continued for about ten days, when
another will be put on. The additional
crew will be required for the running of
the four trains each way. The schedule
of four trains will be continued until the
opening of the hotels, when the summer
service will be put in operation. This will
consist of five trains on week days and
seven on Sundays each way.
Considerable work has been done on
both the Hotel Tybee and South End no
tel preparatory to the opening Of the sea-
son. Cottage building has been active,
too, and it is expected that the coming
season will be a lively one.
The Inlet Club. which recently pur-
chased the Chatham Artillery Club prop
erty. is remodeling the club house. The
work is we'll under way, and will be COM
pleted by the opening Of the season, which
will be about May Is. The club house,
which was badly damaged by the Septem-
her storm, Is being restored, and the upper
story entirely remodeled Five additional
rooms have been added. making thirteen
rooms In all. These will be furnished by
the club for the use of its members. The
club membership is limited to twenty. and
Is already filled The club rooms and up
per tory OF the club building win be used
otiy for the members. The dancing pa
vfion on the main floor will be rented for
picnics and excursion parties. The wharf

THE SOLICITOR INVESTIGATING.
The Issuing of Warrants to Collect
Debts Being Looked Into.

Debts Being Looked Into.
Solicitor General Osborne, at the request
of officials Of the Plant system, has taken
a hand in a matter which, if it is thor
oughly investigated, may cause trouble
for some who are interested.
The solicitor has a number of warrants
issued by Justices Mcintyre and Fitzger-
aid against the negro customers of store
keepers to whom they were indebted in
small sums. The warrants charged OBJ
tanning. groceries under false pretenses,
though some of the bills contained items
of drinks and other things.
TWenty-seVeu warrants were issued
from one court and twenty-nine from the
other. Two of the warrants from one
court were served and the defendants
gave bond when the solicitor learned of
the matter.
A number of the negroes arrested were
employed by the Plant system. They were
demoralized by the knowledge that war
rants were out for them, and many left
town. The resulting DISCRIMINATION of
the labor induced the officials to ask for
an investigation. The grand jury will in
vestgate the issuance of'the warrants, as
it seems there is reason to believe that the
prosecutors were endeavoring to collect
debts by criminal process.
