Under the oaks in the muonless night, .
saw the FAIRIES that took their flight.
With stars to guide them, and shadows to
hide them.
And lilies for lantern light
Like flight of leaves that the wild wind
reaves
From the fading boughs in the autumn
ewes,
They iluttered and scattered, they whis-
pered and muttered,
Away IIolla.ho! AwayW
And now in my dreams / see them go,
hear them rustic, now loud, now low;
With shrill triangle, and cymbals that
jangle,
And little GOLD horns that blow.
Like flight of bees through the darkling
trees.
That chase ana follow a wandering breeze,
They scatter and mingle, their bridle-bells
jingle
Away Holla no! Awayr'
Some day know shall hear them call,
Bv leaping river or ivied wall,
With mystic rhyming, like silvery Ginning
Altar in an etin hall;
Like flight of doves thro' the leafess
groves
l will roam afar with my fairy loves,
With bugles a-ringing and the wee voices
singing
Away! Holla-ho Awayi"

Portraits OF the Wreck OF the sunset Lim-
itsd Upon which Witnesses in the Botkin
Murder Case Were Riding.
State Detective Bernard j. MONEY!
has received from Miss Osborne of Los
Angeles, CAL, series of eight por-
traits of the Sunset Limited train,
which was wrecked at Jennings, La,
1856 miles from New Orleans, on Decem-
Der LIST, 1898. He has had the pictures
enlarged and all put in one long frame.
The pictures show different portions
of the wrecked train and form an in
teresting collection.
The train was the one upon which
the Delaware witnesses in the Botkin
case were riding from this State to San
Francisco, Cal. None of the Della
wareans were seriously hurt. De-
tective Money was in the last cal,
which apparently jumped into the air
and settled partly on its side. The
locomotive plunged into a ditch and
sank almost out of sight Some of the
cars were nearly demolished and several
of the passengers were badly injured.
Miss Osborne, who was on the train,
had camera and took the photographs
shortly after the accident.

Down in the night hear them.
The Acknowledgements,
That whisper, and lisp and murmur,
And will not let me rest.
Voices that seem TO question,
In unknown words, of me-,
of fabulous ventures and hopes and dream
OF this and the world to he,
Voices of mirth and music,
As in sumptuous homes, and sounds
OF mourning, as of gathering friends
In country burial grounds.
Cadence of maiden voices
Their lovers blent with these; {,
And of little children singing,
As under orchard trees.
Aud often. up from the chaos
OF my deepest dreams, hear
Sounds of their phantom laughtei
Filling the atmosphere.
But ever and ever the meaning
Falters and fails and dies,
And only the silence quivers
With the sorrow of my signs.
And answer: O voices, we may not
Make me understand
Till my own voice, mingled with you,
Laughs In Sbadowland.

SHORT ON wATERMELoNs.
The Local Market Not Yet Well Sup
piled with This Fruit.

The local market is yet but lily supplied
with the toothsome watermelons and can
teloupes which are usually present in such
abundance at this season. The extreme
cold of the early part of the year, fol-
lowed by a siege of dry weather, has made
the crops of both fruits late and short,
and the fruits themselves of rather poor
quality.
Few watermelons of the larger sizes
and more enticing edibility are yet dis
played in the stalls of the local fruiterers.
but the canteloupes that are coming in
are far better In quality. The latter are
principally of the Rocky Ford variety
which during the past two years has
achieved such a success in the North and
has practically driven other varieties from
the field. The watermelons that are in
the market now are selling at from Is to
10 cents a piece and the canteloupes from
3 to 10 cents.
The melons that are being sold al present
come principally from Florida and the
Southern part of Georgia, but reports from
the farmers in the vicinity of Savannah
indicate that they will also be making
shipments within the next week There
is no large acreage around Savannah that
is employed in the cultivation of melons
but those that are produced are not sur
passed in quality by the fruit of any other
section. Most of the crop of both water
melons and canteloupes that reaches this
market comes from Southwest Georgia
where large areas are cultivated and
where the perfection of quality and the
maximum of quantity are both attained.

The project of using available funds now
in the treasury for the purpose Of improv-
ing the hall was discussed. but nothing
definite was done or decided upon about
the matter. There Is feeling of doubt as
to whether the camp VIII be allowed to
keep the hall that is now in use after the
present year. as there is some prospect Of
the entire Whitfield building be rented 10

office, ana for this reason the camp is
averse to making extensive improvements

lease will be continued for some time in

will be in position to do better and more

ALDERMAN DOYLE WANTS FANS.
He Thinks Market Dealers should
Arrange to Have Them.

Arrange to Have Ihem.
alderman Doyle is laying plans for fur
nlshing the market with system of cleo
trio fans, which will be operated by a
large motor His idea is to arrange 50
that the large number of fans used in the
market may be had cheaper by the deal
ers. II takes about seventy-five fans 10
keep the surroundings in the meat and
vegetable departments free from flies
BY making provision for freer use OF
fans Alderman Doyle considers that he
will be doing the people a service. Some
buthers are close on this item of expense,
and do not provide their stalls with
enough fans to keep meat free from flies.
Once the meat is contaminated by a clus-
ter of flies, 1t not only makes IT I'M
healthy. but Il hurts its sale If any one
happnes to see them on. the meat. When
Alderman Doyle perfects his pans for in
stalling the fans, which will be the lar
gest number in any one place in the city,
he is pretty sure to have the support of
the dealers.
The improvements about the market,
which were recently authorized by the
City Council have been in progress sew
eral days. The exterior ratings are be-
ing painted the emblematic color of the
killarney stone" while the interior is
bein treated TO a coat of whitewash. The
other repairs contemplated will be pushed
to completion These include plumbing
and other work. Alderman Doyle has won
the praise of patrons of the market for
the interest he has taken as chairman of
the market committee in having things
about the building generally overhauled
