BAPTIsTs TO PICNIC.
They Will spend Saturday at War
AnW Island.


The Baptist Young Peoples Union of
the Duffy Street Baptist church will give
a picnic at Warsaw Island Saturday. for
the benefit of the building fund of the
church. The steamers Alpha and Dor
eta have been chartered for the occasion.
and the committee on arrangements con-
hdently expect to carry between 800 and
1000 people to the island on that day.
The steamer Alpha will leave her wharf
at the foot of Whitaker street at $50
o'clock In the morning, stopping at Thun-
derbolt on her way down and leaving
there at 10 o'clock. The steamer loretta
will leave Thunderbolt at o'clock. The
schedule is so arranged to accommodate
all classes desiring to spend a pleasant
day or afternoon on Warsaw Island.
The Baptist Young Peoples Union is, as
its name indicates a society of young peo-
pie in connection with the Duffy Street
Baptist church and has an active MEM
bership of about 100, of which number full
ly forty are under Is years of age. The
officers Of the union are anxious to bring
before Savannahians the claim the build
ing fund has on them individually. They
are working to that end and are hopeful
and confident of making a grand success
of the picnic.
1t will be remembered that the storm
which swept this city in September last
partially demolished the Duffy Street
church. At the time the damage was
done the building was pronounced safe,
and as the congregation was unable to
rebuild it has been compelled to use the
old structure for regular church services,
but under the preaching of its pastor, Rev.
J. d. Chapman, the congregation has
more than outgrown the seating capacity
of the church and the members are very
DESTROYS to begin rebuilding July l.

THE LOCAL MELON CROP.
VIII Begin to Come in SOOn-Cantn-
IOupes Plentiful.

Watermelons from the vicinity Of Sa-
vannah have not yet made their appear
ance in market. The fruit is not back
ward this year, and will make its timely
appearance next week. People, who have
been seeing Florida melons on the mar
ket from day to day, doubtless have be-
gun 10 think that it is time for those of
this neighborhood to make their appear
ance.
Watermelons from Effingham county
have been bought to the city. but, so far
as is known, there have been none from
the farming districts Of Chatham. This
county does not make a speciality of wa
termelons for the market however. No
Chatham county melons are shipped, the
growers being content to sell their crop
in the city.
This year there seems to have been
less acreage than usual in Chatham de-
voted to melon culture. Why
this is the case is not known,
yet reports indicate that 1t is true. The
season, too, has not been altogether pro-
pitious for the crop and the quality of the
fruit is not what 1t should be. This Is
probably result OF the prolonged drought
just before the present season of almost
uaiiy snO"efS. Inc ram came 100 ldte,
though, and ii is not thought the melons
will be of the luscious quality that is so
greatly esteemed.
Cantaloupes from the vicinity of Savan-
nah are now In market and are of fine
size and delicious flavor. The very small
specimens of the fruit that may be seen
are from Florida. They arrive 10 quanu-
ties. This small size is all that is to their
discredit, however, as their flavor is uni
formly good. The cantaloupes of this sec
ton are Of much larger size. They began
TO come in last week. and by the end OF
next week the cantaloupe season will be
al its hight. Few, if any, cantaloupes are
shipped by the truckers Of this section.
The fruit does not stand shipment very
well. The prices on cantaloupes are hold
ing up very well, but with the incoming
of a greater supply next week a fall is
expected.

THE NJ. & NJ. It's NEW wHARvEs
They VIII BE Ready For Occupancy
by July 4.

Work on the Merchants and Miners
Transportation Company's new wharves
is fast progressing. and the contractors
says there is no doubt that it Will have
assumed such shape by July 1 as to ID
init of the companys occupying them.
The new wharves are at the old COM
press property of the Central railroad, i'm
mediately east of the Ocean Steamship
Companys property, on the river front.
Entrance to the property is on River
street, through the old warehouse, now
used for the storage Of cotton. Passing
through this warehouse, the new wharves
of the Merchants and Miners Transport
tation Company are reached.
There is to be another approach by
thirty-iiVe-feet road being constructed at
the east end of the property, running be-
tween 1t ana the old rice mills. The
Central railroad is having the work on
the wharves done. and at its completion
the road will lease 1t to the
Merchants and Miners Transporta-
ton Company under a fifteen-year
term. it is understood. The contractors
are NIessrs. Bartlett & Raby, and the
work is under the immediate supervision
of Mr.. j. p. Francis.
Before the erection OF the large sheds
now going up was commenced the site Of
the new wharves was covered by a Plat
form. This platform is now being utilized
as the flooring of the wharves. Two sheds,
500x60 feet each, are being built. One of
these runs alongside the river, and the
other runs parallel to 1t, with the railroad
connections for the wharves separating
the two. There are four Slips along the
shed near the river, affording wharfage
for as many vessels.
The offices are being erected at the east
end of this shed. They are to be In a
2-story building, built in with the shed,
though its second story will project
above it. There are two tracks connecting
with the Central railroad, now being laid
between the sheds. Between these tracks
a water main has beeen laid and furnish
es connections for two plugs, one under
each shed, that are to be ready for use
in the event of fire.
There are now at work on the property
175 men, 50 of whom are carpenters en-
gagged in the construction of the sheds. It
is not expected that both sheds will be
finished by July 1, the time at which the
Merchants and Miners TRANSPORTATION
Company is to remove from it's present
wharves but the one near the river Is to
be ready for use. Work has been some
what delayed by difficulty in securing
the proper lumber at the right time. At
ter the company is established in the
shed near the river. the whole force Of
carpenters will be transferred to the 9th
er shed, and il win then soon he finished

OR" KRUMM'S MEDICAL KIT.
His Trunk of Instruments and Other
Things to be Sold by Constable.

His Trunk of Instruments and Other
Things to be Sold by Constable.
Justice G. E. Bevans is advertising the
effects of DIR. A. w. Krumm for SALE
There is a bicycle and a trunk to be sold,
which were levied on on an attachment
issued in favor of one of DR.. Krumm's
dissatisfied patients.
Krumm will be remembered as the party
arrested on a charge of practicing medl-
cine without a diploma and without be-
ing properly registered. He paid a fine
in the city court and then tried to get
out of town. His goods were boxed up
for shipping and sent to the Central rail-
road freight depot, marked to his wife at
Detroit, where they were going. On the
attachments being issued, however, the
whereabouts of the effects were discov-
cred and they were seized.
The trunk contains a lot of evidently
valuable surgical instruments, besides
odds and ends of every description. Con-
stable Harry Beckett will conduct the
sale, which viii be held July g.
DR.. Krumm has tried in a sort of way to
settle the attachments, but his efforts
have not been successful He wrote
once that he would like the goods for
warded C. o. D. to cover the amounts in
volved to Detroit, but the magistrate
wrote him to send the money down and
the goods would be sent on to him.
Justice Wickham also holds a high
grade bicycle, seized on bail in trover
writ. Krumm had taken the wheel as a
pledge from its owner for fee he charged
for medical treatment.

WILL STILL VISIT THE BARRACKS.
DIR. LeHardy Pays Daily Morning
Visits There.

The health officer will still continue to
call at the police barracks at 3 o'clock ev-
cry morning to hear the complaints of sick
policemen and prescribe for them.
DR.. LeHardy was under the impression
that he had been relieved of this duty by
the ordinance adopted at the last meeting
of the council relieving the health officer
of the duty of attending upon sick police
men and firemen, and placing this duty up
on the city physicians in whose districts
the sick f1remen and policemen happen to
be.
He was notified by Chairman Karow of
the police commission yesterday, however,
that no physician had appeared at the po-
lice barracks in the mornings for the last
several days. Dr. LeHardy replied that
he would attend to this duty himself for
the present until some further arrange
ment could be made.
1t is still incumbent upon the health Off
Ger to attend emergency calls at the police
barracks, but DR.. B. F. Sheftall has kindly
taken this duty upon himself.

POLICE UP FOR TRIAL.
NeidIinger's Case Dismissed and
Joiner Fined $50.

NeidIinger's Case Dismissed and
Joiner Fined $50.
The police commission held lengthy ses-
sion last night and heard charges against
several policemen. The cases which con-
sumed the most time in the hearing were
those against Policeman Neidlinger OF the
city police and Policeman Joiner OF the
Central railroad police.
Policeman Neidlinger was charged with
cursing and abusing Mr.. Edward Cronin
and placing him under arrest without
cause. The case grew out of a difficulty
between ]. D. Rich and w. L. White, at
the corner of Liberty and East Broad
streets, Sunday June 6. The witnesses
charged Policeman Neidllnger with club
bling White unnecessarily. Cronin inter-
fered and made some remarks to the Off
Ger to which the latter replied.
There was large crowd of witnesses on
hand to testify against Neidllnger. The
officer, however cleared himself to the
satisfaction Of the commission, and the
charges against him were dismissed.
Policeman Joiner was charged with
abusing a colored woman and afterwards
placing her under arrest without suffi-
Client cause Sunday two weeks ago. He
was in citizens clothes at the time and not
on special duty. The testimony went to
show that the officer was looking for a
place to get drink and grew angry with
the woman because she resented the man
ner in which he approached her. Joiner
was fined $40 by the commission.
Several other policemen were up on minor
charges and one or two small fines were
imposed.
