Prospects Favorable for the Build

terest TO shippers and Mariners.
The British schooner Fearless, Capt.
Kamp, arrived yesterday, three days out
from Nassau. N. p She has a cargo of
! fruit consigned to master. It consists of
go, 900 oranges, $50 crates of tomatoes, $50
punches of bananas, 5000 sapodillas, 75O
cocoanuts and other tropical products.
This is the first solid cargo of fruit re-
| ceved recently in Savannah, as most of
the local supply comes by rail. 1t is not
expected there will be much trouble in dis
posing of the cargo, however, as fruit Is
| in good demand at present.
There is possibility of building up the
| fruit trade between Savannah aud the
Bermudas which at one time was profta-
| BILE to dealers. The fact the city is well
situated for the prompt distribution of
shipments in Georgia, the Carolinas ana
in Alabama, is regarded by dealers az an
advantage which many other ports that
receive fruit do not possess. The Savan-
nah barge Joseph souther, now at Mas
sau, in tow of the tug w. f. McCauley,
| viii probably return with a cargo of fruit
| 1t is<stated the Fearless win also return
| TO Savannah with fruit. While there is
/ no spagia1 movement q hufld nm this trade
| the fact ii has sprung up of its own accord
| indicates that dealers consider Savannah
a good point for the sale and distribution
of fruit.
Judge Mcpherson in the United States
| District Court at Philadelphia has ordered
| judgment to be entered in favor of Capt.
| Tracey, of the tug Fidget against the
| Baltimore and Ohio Railroad Company for

companys wharves at Philadelphia, In
| March 1899. The Fidget struck submerg
ed pillng which broke her shaft and did
other damage. Legal proceedings were in
| stituted TO recover for the repairs done the
tug. and the court held that the company
maintained a structure that was danger
Gus to navigation.
