street Railway Had other Work to
Keep 1t From Moving Old Tracks.
Commissioner of Public Works Willink
said yesterday that the streets will soon
be cleared of unused car tracks in accord
ance with his recent notice to the Savan-
nah, Thunderbolt and Isle of Hope Rail
way.
Capt. ]. H. Johnston, general manager
of the railway, was spoken to about the
removal of the car tracks. He said he Is
using his efforts 10 do the work at the
earliest practicable moment. The hands
'are busily engaged at other work Just

and the company cannot be expected. he
said, 20 drop everything else for the I'M

A force viii be kept on the streets where
track is to be taken up, and Capt. Johns

next two or three days. The reason the
track has not been taken up earlier. he
said, is on account of the force being en-

PEACH SEASON ABOUT OVER.
Plenty of Fruit But Low Prices Kept
Profits Down.

That this has been a great year for
peaches is not doubted by any one. The
yield was larger and the fruit was more
lucious than 1t was in 1894. but it is doubt
full If tho planters got as much money for
the crop.
An old fruit man estimates that the pres
ent crop is fully 80 per cent. greater than
that of 1891. Peaches sold then for 60 and
Is cents busheL This year they have ruled
about 30 cents. While the season
is not over, the best fruit
has been shipped, and although
shipments will continue 10 come to Savan-
nah during this and next month, it Will
be a clingstone variety, the demand for
which Is only fair.
The varieties now In market are late
Crawfords, late Pickets and a few Sus-
quehannas. In the last two weeks the sup
ply has dropped off materially, which
caused the price to jump up from 60 cents a
bushel to 81. The quality is poorer than it
was two weeks ago. AT present there are
no white peaches in market. This variety
is very much sought for preserving in
brandy, and some calls have been made
for them.
Advices from growers are to the effect
that the yield Of this variety is fair, but the
quality of the White English peaches is
poor. These peaches generally sell for $50
and $3.50 bushel, but the price largely
depends upon the demand for them.
The apple crop is short. In fact, it was
about a failure. The pear crop is also
short, but the quality of fruit Is good. The
shipments from the Savannah, Florida and
Western Railway, and up the Savannah
river are fine. Pears sell for from 81 10
$1.25 a barrel This crop will not last long.
The rains of the last few days may dam
age fruit to some extent. FAN peaches,
however, are some tougher and will stand
a rougher season, but even a damp sea-
son VIII damage them so that growers will
not realize anything from the crop by rea
son of the inferior quality. Clngstone
peaches Will decay rapidly once they get
in condition to decay.
A fruit man said yesterday that while
he had no advices from growers of an
unfavorable nature yet, he was expect
ing some, If the rains continued a day or
two longer. There We're possible 200 crates
of peaches received in Savannah yester-
day and probably as many to-day. This
viii probably drop off week after week
until the season closes. The price has
started upward, and it will not stop until
the crop Is gone A great many bushels
of peaches have been canned and evapo-
rated this year, but the experience of
those engaged in this industry in 1894 was
not altogether as satisfactory as they had
hoped, and while a great deal of canning
and evaporating was done, probably as
much as last year, a great many more
bushels might have been utilized than
were, owing TO the increased crop.
Canned peaches of 1894 were sold a few
months ago by Fort Valley concerns at
a sacrifice In order to clear their ware
houses for the present crop. Hardly any
dried peaches were to be obtained a few
months ago, and some predict that the
most money that will be made out of the
present crop will be in evaporated fruit.

Their duties are interchangeable, SO that
in twenty-eight days each four have an
opportunity to become familiar with The

SECOND GEORGIA ron HUNTSVILLE.
Col. Browns Regiment to Go There
Next Week.

Gen, Copplnger started from Tampa
yesterday on his way to Huntsville, Ala,
where the new camp of volunteers is to
be established. Gen. Carpenter left for
same point over the Plant System last
night.
Next week 1t is expected that the Sec
ond Georgia win be moved from Tampa
to Huntsville The Plant System is pre-
pairing for moving this and other regi-
ments. It is the impression that the camp
at Huntsville will be quite a large one
Among the other regiments that may be
taken to that point are the Fifth Mary
land, Third Pennsylvania, Fifth Ohio, One
Hundred and Fifty-seventh Indiana, Sec
ond New York, Sixty-ninth New York
Thirty-second Michigan, Third Ohio. The
movement of these troops is expected to
start at once.
The Fifth Cavalry is being moved from
Tampa TO Montauk. The Fifth Regiment
of regulars. it Is stated, will be left at
Tampa to guard the supplies gathered at
that point and act as a garrison. This
win be the only regiment at that point
after the present movement is over.
Huntsville, the site of the new camp, is
a town of nearly 10000 population. 1t is
the most populous and important town
of Northern Alabama. il Is on the Mem
phis and Charleston Railroad about 200
miles north of Montgomery and about 100
miles southwest of Chattanooga.

Lieut.. F.. p Miller Of Liberty county
was elected colonel of the First Georgia
Cavalry yesterday to succeed Col. W. W.
Gordon, made brigadier general of volun-
teers and now in command of his brigade
al Jacksonville.
The election was held at the headquar-
tiers of the various troops of the regiment
The election in Savannah was at the office
of Justice Waring Russell Jr. But two
votes were cast here, owing to the absence
of some of the commissioned officers, who
are Untitled to vote. No news had been
received a t the Hussars armory last night
of the results of the election elsewhere.
There was no opposition to Lieut.. Col
Miller and his election is a foregone con-
cluson. His promotion to the colonelcy
leaves the lieutenant coloneis place va

Col. Miller Is too well known almost to
the military of this part of the state to
require any mention of his record. He

Troop a number of years having been pro-
NOTED from lieutenancy. He has been
lieutenant colonel of the First Cavalry for

ROUNDING UP sTRAGGLERs.
Col Rays Officers Gathering In the
StrayinG Soldiers.

A squad of about thirty soldiers, most
of whom were stragglers, were marched
from the police barracks last night to tho
wharves, where they brushed off the dust
Of their native land and went aboard the
Nflnnewaska They were given quarters
and were glad to rest, after rambling over
the city the entire day.
1t was cool inside the ship and every
man was sleeping peacefully when a
Morning News representative went on
board, and if they were unable to get
everything they wanted, ii is not because
they were not given ample privilege to
do So Every man was evidently ready
to SAIL having told his friends good-Dy
and possibly written the last letter home
before putting to sea for the country they
are probably to inhabit for some time to
come.
During the day the men enjoyed them
selves in the city, but quite a NUMBER
were lodged in the barracks for safe keep
ing during the afternoon. A number Of
people enjoyed the runs some of the OFF,
GERS made for men who were out over
time, aud were, therefore, specially called
for by their officers
From the windows of the city exchange
a crowd was seen running toward the
river in pursuit of officers who, with
drawn pistols, were chasing two soldiers
Hustling along River street a a lively
rate, the soldiers got some distance from
the exchange dock before they were
caught Then a tussle began, as they did
not care to submit. One Of the men be-
hayed roughly, and was so unruly, that
the officers were compelled to lay him
on the ground lash his hands together
and send him to the barracks, where he
was held until taken to the transport
Another was anxious to leave Savannah,
and conceived a pretty good plan of doing
1t If he had not been caught up with. He
went TO q house on Oglethorpe avenue,
locked himself in a room and sent a man
up town for a suit of clothes. BY doniug
new apparel, instead of the uniform, the
fellow hoped to leave the city unmolested.
The man he sent for the clothes gave the
trick away. however and officers went to
the place and got the soldier, lodging him
IN the station house for safe keeping.
Capt Harris, officer of the day aboard
the Minnewaska, said there were few SOL
dlers in the city, and they would be in by
midnight. A close guard was being kept at
the gate where the stevedores were loading
the vessel, and a guard was placed there
with orders to allow no one to pass except
the laborers. The vessel being some dis
lance from the wharf, there was no chance
for any of the men to get off, without run
ming some risk of having to swim. The po-
lice had no further arrests up 10 a late
hour, and the probability is there will be
none of the men seen on the streets to-

SPIRITS KEEPING WELL UP.
Quotation Committee Had Difficulty
on Agreeing on Price.

Quotation Committee Had Difficulty
on Agreeing on Price.
The excitement Of Thursday in the spir-
its turpentne market continued yester-
day. AS forecasted- by the Morning News,
the market at the Board of Trade opened
al 27A cents.
There appeared to be a disposition on
the part of the buyers to bring down the
price a point or two, and the only bid
that was reported during the morning
was 263l cents.
When the quotation committee at the
Board of Trade met at 4 o'clock, it was
some time before an agreement could be
reached as to the proper quotation to
post The representatives, of the sellers
insisted that higher bid than 26s4 cents
had been made, and they did not want TO
quote the market on the official informa-
ton received. However, it was decided
to put it up" at ''26S4 cents bid" and let
the futures sales adjust the difference in
the opinions of buyers and sellers.
The market was posted al that, and
then the buyers and sellers adjourned to
await further developments
After the close of the official market at
the Board of Trade, there were but few
buyers in the market, and up to nightfall
it looked as if no sales would be made
Factors generally were firm in their views
of the situation and refused to sell. II
was learned later, from a reliable source
that sales had been made at 27 and
2l4 cents, which still showed that the
market Is firm and the offerings in de-
mand at the advanced price.
