Guard Turned Out at Fort Screven
as Escort for Soldiers Remains.
Private Newell s. Price of the one
Hundred Sixteenth Company of
artillery at Fort Screven, was seized
night before last with an uncontrol-
able attack of hiccoughs The sur
geons of the post were unable to check
the attack, and early yesterday morn
ing the young soldier died. He had
been i'll for some days, but his malady
would scarce have proven fatal had it
not been for the hiccoughs.
Private Price enlisted in the service
about month ago. His home was at
East Point, near Atlanta On entering
the service he was assigned to duty at
Fort Screven.
The remains of Private Price We're
sent from Tybee on the train leaving
there at sos o'clock in the afternoon.
They were transferred to the CentraPs
night train for Atlanta. At East Point
they will be received by sorrowing rel
atives.

PEACHES IN PLENTY.
Where the Finest Fruit Comes
From.

Where the Finest Fruit Comes
From.
There are plenty of liberia peaches
in market now. They are exception
ally fine and sell for Csc and 3Oc a
basket. OF course the choice fruit
never finds its way to Southern mar
kets,' and just what the hest fruit is
nobody knows. except those who are
packing it in refrigerator cars for the
East and West.
Fruit brings nothing like the prices
it used to. But about as much money
is made on the crop. This is true with
those growers who live in the peach
belt of Georgia-Houston, Taylor \Bibb
and possibly Crawford, Monroe and
Pike counties. When growers shipped
by express to New York the industry
was in its infancy, and the demand
far exceeded the supply. Early
peaches. brought big prices. On the
18th of May some fifteen years ago,
shipper got into New York with sew
eral bushels of Alexander peaches and
sold them for $40 a bushel 1t is not
known that any shipper in the state
or anywhere else in the South, for that
matter, ever realized as much on as
many bushels. These peaches were
shipped from Taylor county by a we'll
known grower. and went to Cook &
Co., on Warren street.
1t was long contended by growers
in Taylor county that the fruit grown
there was earlier than in Houston
county, but it is known that the trees
do not live as long. And they do not
attain the size that the trees do In
Houston. The reason assigned for this
is that the land in Taylor county is
light. The fruit in Taylor is said to
be not only earlier, but has better
color.
The refrigerator car system has rev.
olutionized fruit shipping to the mar
kets North and East and West. BY
this system peaches may be gathered
ripper, and there is rarely any loss from
specked stock. The charges by the
car are small. and growers are sat
isfied with much lower prices than
they used to get, and which they had
to get in order to make anything ship
ping fruit away.

FOR SAFETY OF VESSELS.
Bids for MOOring Dolphins in Blight
and mt Venus Point.

The bids for the construction of the
mooring dolphins. or skeleton wharves
that the government will place at the
blight of the channel and at Venus
Point, will be opened at the office of
the engineer officer in charge of this
district in about two weeks. The pro-
posed improvement. which has been
approved by the War Department, con-
templates an estimated expenditure of
about s2s. 900.
The dolphin at the blight will be
1900 feet in length, and that at Venus
Point 1000 feet in length. At the
places where they will be constructed
the water is already Deep and it will
be further deepened to admit the an
chorage at low water of vessels of the
largest size entering the port.
The dolphins are intended particu-
larry for the use of vessels of deem
draught, which are accustomed to con-
sumo two tides in making their way to
sea. This viii always he done. as the
deeper vessels will load to the great

The War Departments approval of
the project for the deepening of the

operation which he had undergone
only a few days before, and who
started Immediately for WayneSville
when he received the news of his
young brothers illness, did not learn
of his death until he reached Asheville
Sunday afternoon. 1t was thought
doubtful If he would be able to come
TO Savannah, but after a nights rest

family.
The funeral services were largely at

The services at the grave were con-
Quoted by Drs. McCorkle and Fair.
The choir of the First Presbyterian
Church sang abide With Me-" and as
the heavy slabs of stone were lowered
over the coffin and sealed. and the
grave was filled with earth, sang Good
Night. 1t was an impressive scene
beneath the shadows of the moss
draped oaks, and many tears of SYM
pathy were shed for the grief-stricken
parents as they sat by the side of the
grave. and saw the coffin with all that
was mortal of their youngest child
committed to the dust.

doors. 1t is expected it viii be in shape
for business on the first of Septem-
Der
The bank will start it's business I'M
der bright auspices, and with every
good chance for sue cess. The need of
a bank in the section of the city in
which it will be located is we'll recog-
nized, and the enterprising character
of the young men who will direct its
destinies assure it an active and de-
termined effort to secure the business
that is to be had.
The banking rooms will be located
in the w. c. T. U. building, on Lib
erty street near West Broad, which
now approaches completion, and will
be ready for occupancy by the time the
charter of the bank is secured. The

Transformation from a purely residence
quarter to one IN which business is
the prime consideration and business
houses the principal occupants of the
ground.
The bank Will make a speciality of
small loans. the ability to secure which
is vital necessity in a new business
section, where many of the enterprises
are yet in the formative and construc-
tive period of their careers.

LOOKING FOR SCHROEDER.
Ice Company Has Police on Trail of
Missing EmpIOye.

Missing EmpIoye.
The detective department of the city
is engaged in an active effort to To-
cate and apprehend Dick Schroeder.
who was until Monday night in charge
of one of the big delivery wagons of
the knickerbocker Ice Company. The
effort to arrest Schroeder was made
by the officers of the company.
Monday night Schroeder sent his
wagon in to the company's stables by
the negro driver, but he made no ap-
pearance himself. On yesterday
morning he teleDhoned to the works
that he would be down shortly to take
out his wagon, but if he started with
this commendable purpose in. view he
is st'l on the way. He was equally
derelict in makin= his returns to the
office, and during the morning a COM
plant to the police was made.
Up 10 last night and early this morn
ing the effort to locate Schroeder was
not successful. The detectives had
searched his accustomed haunts, but
they tound no trace of the man for
whom they were looking.
Manager Parks of the Knickerbock-
er Company stated that the company's
loss was relatively small and could not
exceed SD 1t was the climax, how
ever, of numerous smaller shortages
that had previously existed in Schroe-
der's accounts. Mr. Parks did not feel,
therefore, that he would be consulting
the interests of the company or plac-
ing a proper example before the eyes
of it's other employees should be fail
to report the matter to the police.
1t was learned yesterday that
Schroeder has been rather careless
about money matters with others than
the company by which he was en-
ployed, and that a considerable num-
Der of his friends have suffered on this
account. His wherea bouts are not
known, but some of the sufferers were
free in the expression of a belief that
he had left the CITY

STOLE HIS LOAD OF TRUCK.
Negro Women PIundered "A Country
Farmers Wagon.


Il never seed SIGH in my life" said
an old country negro at the market
yesterday. His wagon was empty and
he was hitching up the mule to go
home after a few hours of "terbul
traffick,' as he expressed It, Earlier in
the day pedestrians noticed that he
was very noisy in crying out his pro-
duce.
"Heah dey is. Fresh and fine"
He was an old negro man with a
lazy mule, and a few roasting ears and
a few canteloupes in his ramshackle
wagon. He had called to passers by
all the morning and no doubt imagined
he would have to carry the produce
back home when two young colored
women sauntered up. They engaged
the old man in conversation and were
soon joined by two others who began
to inspect the stuff in the wagon.
They We're not so particular about the
quality, as they took what they could
tion promising to return, but intending
to remain away with what they had.
After waiting reasonable length of
time for them to return the old man
asked the women who were then with
him to look out for his wagon and he
would just step into the market and
see if the others wanted the truck"
The women consented and the old man
strolled into the market. He went to
the place which the women had told
him they sold from and to his sur
prise it was a fish stall.
After a vain effort to find them the
old man returned to his wagon, but
the women whom he had left in charge
of it had gone and had carried off the
balance of what he had to sell.

The cotton around THE Cotton Ex-

shows every appearance of developing
a good crop. The progress of the crop
is being watched. not as an index to

about the exchange like to watch the
growth OF the plant the same as one
does the climbing of pet vines up the

FARMERS TALK OF CROPS.
Corn Crop VIII BE Less Than a
Third OF.

AnhrO OUs
A group of prosperous farmers along
the line of the Seaboard Air Line sat
out in front of the De Soto last night
and talked crops. Their opinion was
that the corn crop will be some better
than last year and even where the
acreage is not greater the harvest will
be better. While the season has not
been what would make a fine crop. it
has not cut the crop off more than a
third.
The acreage planted in corn this year
is more than it was last year. And
the general opinion is that the farm
ers all over the state will make enough
corn to run them the year
one farmer said that fodder which
is about read TO pull" is fine, and
farmers will make more than they
want. Next week most Of the plant
ers in this section will commence to
save their fodder.

JULY'S HEAVY RAINS
ONLY THREE TIMES IN 81 YEARS
HAVE THEY BEEN GREATER.
OVER NINE INCHES so FAR.
TO-DAY AND TOMORROW MAY ADD
TO THE RECORD.

Thirteen Inches the Heaviest July
Rainfall Known in Snvnnnnh-JP
to~Laxt Night Oh Inches Had Fall
len This Month, With Two Days TO
Come and Rain Predicted for Both.
An Excess of Four Inches Already
over the Average for JuIy-COm-
PARSONS with Previous Years.
July has come nearer breaking the
rain record this year than it has since
1894 In July of that year there were
over 10 inches of rain. So far this
month the rainfall at Savannah has
been ga inches, with two days left in
which to add another inch or two.
Only three times in thirty-one years
has the July rainfall been gerater than
it has this year. In 1874 there was a
fraction over 10 inches of rain. Again
in 1891 July went this year half an
inch better than its record so far
July 1894 topped them all with 10
inches.
If the indications for more rain to-
day and tomorrow are fulfilled to
the extent that some of the predictions
of the Weather Bureau have been full
filled in the last week or two there is
a fighting chance for this month to
break the record. 1t will take two
days of pretty lively rain to do it,
however.
JuIy's Average "a Inches.
The average July rainfall at Savan-
nah is So inches. So far this month
there is an excess of very nearly 4
inches. The most of the rain, too, has
been within the last two weeks. The
effect of the rains is felt everywhere.
Farmers say there has been enough
now, and any more will do considerable
damage to the crops.
1t is a matter of interest to note the
July rainfall. at Savannah this year.
in comparison with that of previous
years back to 1871. when the Weather
Bureau was established. The records
of the bureau show the following rain
