TIME MADE BY FAST TRAINS.

The fact that each of the three fast
tourist trains from New York to st.
Augustine may reach Savannah at, or
very nearly, the same time, as was the
case Tuesday on their initial trip, Of
fers no comparison as to the actual
time made between New York and this
city because of the difference in their
scheduled time for starting.
The Southern's Palm Limited leaves
New York at 1910, the S. A. LIS Sea-
board Florida Limited, at 1856 and the
A. c. LIS New York and Florida
Special at 2:10. and they are scheduled
to arrive at 1920, 9:45 and 1880 re-
spectively. 1t is these figures and not
the proximity of their arrival in Sa-
vannah that must form the basis of
any comparison. This statement is
made to avoid any popular error that
may have arisen through the fact that
all three reached Savannah within ten
minutes of each other on their initial
run.

CICERO WATSON ARRESTED BY
ORDER OF COURT.
MUST SERVE FOUR YEARS.
UNUSUAL VERDICT MADE FINAL
JUDGMENT OF COURT.

Verdict OcrnSiOned Considerable
Comment mt the Time 1T Was Rem
dered-TrIed for Murder Watson
Was Found Guilty of Shooting ut
Another Not in His own Defense.
Some Thought Judgment WOuII
he Vacatcd-Judge BARROW Sail IL
Was GO"d-Supremc Court UpEclh
Him.
Cicero Watson, the negro who sprang
into notoriety becaues the jury which
tried him on a charge of murder re-
turned a verdict finding him guilty Of
shooting at another not in his own de-
Tense, and who has been enjoying his
freedom pending the review of his case
by the Supreme Court, was arrested
yesterday morning, by direction of
Judge Barrow, and is now in the coun-
ty Jail, awaiting the time when he shall
commence the service of the four-year
sentence imposed by the court.
When the case was tried ii attracted
considerable attention and interest.
which was augmented by the unusual
finding of the jury. When the find
ing was made public there were many
who said that it was equal to an ac-
quittal, since the court would never
sustain the jury in its finding. Con-
trarily, Judge Barrow overruled the
motion of defendants counsel to va
cate the judgment, giving it as his
opinion that the verdict of the jury
10 In = -,
pounded to them in his charge.
Taken to Supreme Court.
The case was taken to the Supreme
Court, where that tribunal confirmed
the ruling of the lower court, saying
that on the trial of a defendant for
murder a verdict of lesser offense,
possible under the conditions sur
rounding the homicide was perfectly
proper. The ruling of the Supreme
Court has been made the judgment OF
the lower court, and there being nc
desire on the part of the prisoner OF
his counsel to seek a new trial, Watson
VIII commence serving the four years
term in the penitentiary which the
court imposed.
Watson was tried for the murder OF
Johnnie Robinson in difficulty which
occurred on the west side several
months ago The row was between
Watson and a negro named George
Jackson. Robinson being only a spec
tator. Jackson twas wounded in the
encounter. The trial of the case oc-
cupied some time, during which tho
courtroom was we'll filed. The out
come of the case was watched with
interest, and the finding of the jury
made more noteworthy on that &C.
count.
Captured on the Street.
Watson was arrested on West Broad
street yesterday. He had heard of the
decision of the Supreme Court anC
was expecting each day to be remand
ed to Jail. He submitted to arrest, and
was taken to the Jail by a deputy
sheriff. AS soon as there are one Of
two other prisoners ready to make the
trip to Fargo, as there probably will
be when the Superior Court has dis
posed of the many criminal cases Sc
for trial next week, Watson will b,
taken to the penitentiary to serve hi
sentence in expiation of his crime, anC
in obedience to the judgment of tn,
court, predicated upon the only verdic
of its kind ever returned in a murde
case in Chatham county.

FOUR WERE ARRESTED

CROPS NOT DAMAGED
Near as Much as Expected by thu
Recent Freeze.

Hans Rosenberg. a truck gardener,
was in the city yesterday with the first
large load of vegetables that has been
brought in since the freeze, and they
presented quite an inviting appearance
in the face of the belief that the crop
had been badly damaged by the late
freeze.
Rosenberg said that he does not
think the damage to vegetation will be
near as bad as was at first anticipat-
ed, and that the most of produce VIII
survive with but a "scorching.' he
gave as his reason for the BELIEF that
the frosts. previous to the freeze. nip
ped vegetation and gave it sufficient
setback to allow of freeze without
doing great damage.
His load of produce consisted
mainly of cabbage with quite a
few carrots. turnips and lettuce. The
cabbage, outside of a few burned
leaves on the outside. were intact, and
apparently as good as ever. The other
vegetables were little, if any worse.
and while he said the "scorching'
would affect the selling prices, he ex-
pressed himself as thankful that the
damage had been no worse.
Rosenberg also said that he has visit
ed several truck farms in his neigh
borhood, and that he found vegetation
there in about the same condition as
at his place. He felt sure that the
loss would not be near as bad as had
been anticipated
Reports from the further South are
also gratifying. In Southern Georgia
and Northern Florida. the damage by
the freeze Is reported as slight, and
the general indication is that produce
will Recover the setback unless other
frosty mornings prevail in the near flu
ture.
Arthur DeBary, of Palatka, Fla, one
of the largest orange produce growers
in that state and section, is in the city
and authority for this statement. He
is especially jubilant over the condition
of the orange crop, which he says, has
not been hurt a bit, and he expressed
the opinion that ii will take much cold
er weather than that ever experienced
in the Peninsular state to again kill
out the groves.
He gave as his reason for this be-
lief the fact that when the groves were
practically exterminated several years
ago. that the growers went to work ex-
perimenting by grating and other
means to get a harder fruit and tree.
In this they have been successful as
the recent cold. which would have or
dinarily caused considerable destruc-
ton or damage, has had no effect what
ever on the groves. This shows the
trees to be harder and he is confident
that but little If any damage will be
experienced in the future. Mr.. DeBary
is here for the purpose of marketing
a portion of the remaining crop from
his grove in East Palatka.

WILL RESUME WORK
On Mooring DOIphins To-day Provid-
ed Material Arrives.


Contractor T. ]. Brown, driving the
piling for the government mooring dol
phins in the lower river, returned yes
terday from Jacksonville for the pur-
pose of resuming work to-day on the
contract. This work has been sus-
pended for the past two weeks owing
to the piling having given out and
others being unavailable at present.
A raft of logs is now en- route here
from the Ogeechee river and is expect
ed to-day when the work will be re-
sumed and rushed rapidly ahead as
fast as material is received. Work has
advanced sufficiently on the first dol
phin to allow of framing, but an alb
sence of timber has prevented a start.
This timber is said to have been ship
ped from Jacksonville about Christmas
but in some manner has been delayed
or lost.
While work has been suspended, Mr.
Brown has been on demurrage of $25
per day, but. he says this is only suffi-
Gent to pay his labor without leaving
him anything for himself or the driv-
ing machine, and he is very anxious to
get back to work

CUT INTO PARTITION WALL.
Low Building Wall Case Not Yet
Settled.

An expert brick mason cut into the
Low-Jaudon partition wall at Bull and
Congress streets yesterday morning
and showed that the wall is double. 1t
was found that when the Low build
ing was rebuilt some time ago a new
wall was built abutting and dovetailed
into or tied to the Jaudon wall. By
"tieing'' a new wall to an old one is
meant that brick is removed from
the old wall at intervals and the open
ings filled by bricks laid crosswise, the
cross bricks being built into both walls.
1t was not decided yesterday what
would be done about the wall.
