PUT IN A WORD FOR SAVANNAH.
GEN. GORDON URGED ITS ADvAN-
TAGE5 FOR TROOPS.

The General VIII Leave Tomorrow
for Mobile to Assume Command
of His Brigade-Mrs. Gordon WIZ
Accompany Him-Gen. Gordon Not
Yet Advised as to HIS Stah-It VIII
Be Announced to Him In Mobile.
Gen. w. W. Gordon returned yesterday
afternoon from Washington, ac-
eompanied by Mrs Gordon and w. w. Cor
don. Jr.
In regard to the personnel Of his staff,
Gen. Gordon Is absolutely ignorant The
names which he suggested for appoint
ment were not acted upon and the general
was informed that a list of officers would
be furnished him from the staff depart
ment, but as yet the appointees have not
been made known to him.
While in Washington, Gen. Gordon was
introduced to Secretary Alger by Adjt.
Gen. Corbin. The secretary piled Gen.
Gordon with questions In regard to Fer
nandlna's qualifications as a concentration
point for troops. In reply Gen. Gordon
took occasion to praise very highly Sa-
vannahs facilities for handling troops, cit
ing her railroad advantages, pure water
supply, healthy pine forests and level plat
eaus, all of which tend to make this city
a favorable point for modelling forces.
Gen. Gordon will leave tomorrow night
for Mobile, where he will report for duty
Immediately on his arrival. His new uni
form will probaly get here to-day, but the
general will moi don 1t until he has report
ed to Gen. Coppinger, who commands the
Fourth army corps at Mobile. The Fourth
corps is composed partly of regu-
lars and partly of volunteers. Ac-
cordina to the Geographic
dispatches. nearly all OF the regular forces
have embarked on board the transports
and left presumably for Tampa. on the
same day that Gen. Gordon received his
assignment, two other brigader generals,
Oates ana Lincoln, were assigned to the
same corps.
Mrs. Gordon will accompany her husband
to Mobile, where she will remain for some
time. Army life will be nothing new to
Mrs. Gordon, who comes of family that
has long been identified with the army.
Gen. Gordon will take all three of his
horses to Mobile, a brigadier general being
allowed just that number. Mounted on his
sorrel mare, with his brigadiers uniform
on, Gen. Gordon will present a command
ing appearance.

PEACHES BY THE TRAIN LOAD.
A Railroad Mans Estimate of the
Crop.

Mr.. NJ. H. Connolly, Florida agent of the
North Carolina and st. Louis and the
Louisville and Nashville railroads, was at
the Pulaski House yesterday. Mr.. Con-
nally has just been through the Georgia
peach belt. He reports the crop in magnif-
cent condition. The growers are enthusi-
astic over the quality of the fruit this
year and the size OK the crop.
The shipments will be between 1900 and
$500 carloads, 1t is estimated, and good
prices are anticipated for the bulk of the
fruit. From what Mr. Connany says the
lovers of delicious peaches will have no
grounds to complain this year of any
scarcity In the supply.
Speaking Of the Florida orange crop, Mr..
Connally stated that the drought has prob
any cut 1t down one-third to one-half be-
low what It was expected the crop would
be. At one time the yield of the groves
this year was estimated at between $50 900
and 100000 boxes, but the long continued
DRY weather caused a great quantity of the
truit to drop. and it Is now believed that
the crop will be In the neighborhood of
half million boxes. Growers expect fancy
prices, though, and are far from being dis
heartened.
The orange growing Industry is making
or more, though, before the crop reaches
the magnitude Of the year or two just pre-
ceding the great freeze. a crop of mill
ION boxes, Enough, may be expected any
year now with fairly good weather condi-
lions. ~
Florida truckers, Mr. Connally says, re-
port the season quite a profitable one, es-
pecially when they were large growers
of tomatoes. The presence of the army
at Tampa helped to make the truck in
dustry In South Florida more than ordi-
narily renumerative, great quantities of
vegetables being sold there for the con-
sumption of the soldiers and the large
crowds of visitors
Mr. Connally spent a couple of days at
Tampa last week, devoting his attention
more especially to the Georgians in canp
there This regiment, he says, is already
regarded with especial favor among the
visitors and is the center of attraction.
There is more snap and military get-up
about 1t, and the Judgment of all visitors
is highly flattering to the pride Of the
Georgians.

TWO sAyANNAHIANs IN TROUBLE
Druggist Nottingham and Reporter
McNaIIy Arrested at brunswick.

Druggist Nottingham and Reporter
McNaIIy Arrested at brunswick.
Two savannahians conhlcted with the
ordinances of Brunswick yesterday. One of
them was heavily fined and the other is
out on bail pending a hearing of the case
against him.
Brunswick, like many other towns, has a
special law against the circulation of ru-
mors regarding its health. Having suf-
fered in the past from indiscreet gossip,
the city is unusually alert to detect and
punish violators of this especial section of
the city code.
Yesterday news reached the city
officials that MIR. r. V. Nottingham
of Savannah, while on the steamer Cover
nor Stafford, had made derogetory state
ments as to the health of Brunswick
Marshal Beach was at once charged by
Mayor Mason with the duty of attaching
the person of Mr. Nottingham. who had
left Brunswick for Fernandina, but had
not got beyond the reach of the officer
Orders were sent directing the steamer to
return from Jekyl Island. When
1t reached the wharf at Brunswick the
marshal was on hand. Mr.. Noting
ham was pointed out to him and
was put under arrest. He was
at once taken before the Mayor.
The Savannahian pleaded that he had
merely casually repeated a statement that
had been made TO him. A sentence of $500
fine or 60 days on the chain-gang was i'm
posed.
Mr.. Nottingham did not have the money
and was put in Jail Friends secured an at
torney for him and the case was certiora-
rled to the Superior Court. Bond was given
and the Savannahian was released.
out Of MIR. Nottingham's arrest grew the
other arrest, that of Reporter Thomas +.
McNally McNelly enlisted in the Chat
ham Artillery. was turned down at Griffin
on account of his eyesght went TO Bruins
wick and was employed on the Times. He
had just located, and was ambitious to es-
tabllsh himself as a correspondent. The
arrest of Mr.. Nottingham was an opening
wedged Specials were written and fled
AS the law had laid it's hands upon Mr..
Nottingham so 1t took in the reporter AL
most before the operators had licked off
the kilograms Marshal Beach had the cor
respondent in the tolls. circulating false
rumors about the health of Brunswick"
was the charge against him. In sending
out what Mr.. Nottingham was charged
with saying the correspondent was also
found guilty. Efforts were, 1t is stated
made to coll back the kilograms, but 1t
was too late. Later In the day McNally
was released on bond.

LIEUT.. ARMSTRONG HERE.
Says the Chathams VIII Get Their
Arms and Equipment Very Soon.


LieGs. George F. Armstrong of the
Chatham Artillery arrived in the city yes
terday morning from Griffin, and VIII be
here for several days on business. 1t was
thought that Lieut.. Armstrong was com
ing to Savannah to secure recruits for the
Galatians, but such is not the case.
1T was thought at one time" Lieut.
Armstrong said yesterday, that we would
do some recruiting. but it has peen decid-
ed to let our battery stand as it is with
III men ard four officers. Tho belief is
new that another regiment wl be organ
ized in Georgia, and it may be that little
recruiting Of the other companies win he
dcne on that account"
Capt. T.. z. Gleason was expected mere
yesterday on a recruiting trip, but he did
not come. He Will be here to-day for that
purpose. Lieut.. +. a. Leonard oil the
Greens spent yesterday In the city enjoy
ing the A. O. II. picnic. He returned to
Griffin last night
he Chathams are expecting every day
now to get their equipment and uniforms
Communications from the authorities have
informed them that active preparations
are being made to equip them. Capt
Walker and the officers feared at one time
that the battery would be given only four
guns, but they believe now that they viii
get six. They have plenty of men to handle
them, and they are exceedingly anxious TO
have a fun battery.
Agents are now at work around Griffin,
Macon and Atlanta, purchasing horses for
the two batteries of artillery at Griffin
and from all accounts, Lieut.. Armstrong
says it looks as If the two batteries will be
equipped now in very short order. The
uniforms may not arrive as soon as will
the other equipment, but they are expected
within ten days or two weeks at tho out
side.
After the ortilierymen get their equip
ment they win have plenty of work before
them. They viii not only train and dril
themselves on the new guns, but they wiz
have 10 train their horses for artillery ser
vice so that they Will know the bugle calls,
and not stampede when under fire.
Lieut.. Armstrong says there is not a
word Of complaint among the men now.
They always did have enough to eat, but
they were not used to it during the first
two or three days. They have become used
to the life now, and rather enjoy it.

BULL STREETS PAVING.
More Gravel Here and VIII Be Put
Down Mt Once.

HAOHO oEhNSA mere anu w HI DE 1ut
Down Mt Once.
Commissioner of Public Works Willink
leaves for Augusta tonight on city bust
ness. 1t Is understood the trip has some
thing to do with the contract for gravel
for Bull street. It is probable that he will
look into the company's capacity to meet
contracts promptly hereafter In the event
that any further paving is done with this
material.
Twenty-one carloads Of gravel arrived
yesterday from Augusta for Bull street
About twenty more carloads are needed
They are expected in to-day or tomorrow,
and If they arrive the work on that thor
oughfore will be completed 'by the middle
of next week. The gravel is speedily laid
and rolled, but the dressing of the street
and the finishing of the cutters will take
three or four days. Chairman Davis of the
street and lane committee is well pleased
with the appearance of Bull street and
will undoubtedly advocate the use Of
gravel on other streets where the traffic
Is not heavy and cheap pavement is de-
sired.
1t is to be hoped that the hardening of
Bull street will be pushed to completion
It was the only hard thoroughfare south
of Anderson street, and since the work of
improving 1t began the people in the
southern part of the city have had to use
the heavy sand beds on other streets
The asphalting of Drayton street and the
gray walking of Jefferson street should
be extended 10 the city limits, so that the
people viii have at least three good north
and south streetways In the new part of
the city.

SHOULD GET A PRIZE on TWO.
Savannah Has Every Advantage for

Savannah Has Every Advantage for
Taking Care of Spanish Bottoms.
Savannah's prize commissioners, recent
ly appointed by Judge Speer. are naturally
somewhat worried over the fact that Sa-
vannah has been overlooked in the mat
ter of prizes which have been picked up
at sea by the ships of the United States
feet.
Recently three prizes were carried into
Charleston, for what special reason is not
known. but there they went, and the prize
commissioners there win of course get the
benefit. Savannah, it seems should share
in the distribution of the prizes IL any of
them are going to be brought UP this
way. There is absolutely no trouble about
putting them into port here, since Savan-
nah has more water on her bar than has
Charleston. There is every ADVANTAGE
here for looking after the prizes once they
are brought here, and there IA no doubt
that some OF them ought to come this
way.
Savannah's prize commissioners are
Messrs. Edgar Denmark and Julian
Schey Being not far distant from the
battle-ground around Cuba, It was suppos-
ed TINT one or two of the captures might
be brought to Savannah. and they wero
appointed early in the conflict So far.
however, there has been nothing but hope:
Savannah would like to see some prizes.

WILL BE CONDEMNED AT ONCE.
City VIII Take Possession of Mr.,
MendePs Dull street Lot.

City VIII Take Possession of Mr..
MendeTs Dull street Lot.
The indications are that the tract of land
at Bull and Tenth streets, belonging to Mr..
selig Mendel. and needed to widen the
street, will be condemned at once by the
city.
The matter has been discussed by the
Council committee on opening streets, with
the determination to proceed legally
against the owners
Mr.. Mendel claimed, when spoken TO
about the MATTER that there has been a
misunderstanding all around. He SAYS he
has never been approached by any of the
committee to sell to the city, and that con-
demnation, therefore, will be inopportune
The only conversation on the subject of
selling he has had, he states, was in q
semi-serious way with an alderman.
OF course the complaint is the price ask
ed, which is considered out of reason.
Five thousand dollars for property return
ed at about $3.50 is not looked upon as q
reasonable price by the committee Then,
too, the price set is not in any way COM
mensurate with what the city recently
paid for property along Bull street, and
which is nearer the city
There Is a four-years lease held by the
tenant" Mr. Mendel said, for which the
city will have to make amends, If it con-
dennis. Then, too, l shall insist that the
entire lot be taken by the city, as the re-
naming strip of twenty-one feet will be
useless to me-
