Beeiu Tills Month—An Estimate of the
Orange Crop—Tito-thirds of the Crop
Marketed, and the Rest, Safe from
Frosts.
Col. D. H. Elliott, Traveling Agent of
le Plant System In Florida, was in the
ty yesterday. Hereports the number of
'■' .sitors in that State to be larger than in
any previous season. There are not as
any people to be seen at any one place,
•r they are scattered all over the State.
Last year every body made quits a stop
Jacksonville, and then took the steam
's up the St. John's, Since that time the
icksonville, Tampa and Key West rail
ay has be-.n opened, and through trams
iva been also put on to Palatka
id St. Augustine via Oainos
lle over the Florida Southern
illway.
INCREASE IN TRAVEL.
The travel by way ol Savannah
also larger than ever before. The
earn of <tie tourist travel, what is
low n iu hotel and railroad parlance as
lealsklns,” has not yet started South,
it it is expected that it will show what
called iu the stock market a “marked
crease” by the latter part of this
onth.
Speaking of the improved rail
ad systems ol Florida, Col. Elliott re
rred to the new route into lartber South
orida \la Gainesville and Pemberton’s
- ?rry, extending as far south as Tampa
id Charlotte Harbor.
THE ORANGE CROP OUTLOOK.
All inquiry as to the orange crop devel-
the laetihat the Colonel has given
"6 matter a thorough investigation. In
ct the orange business with hint is a
ecialtv, as ne was the first one, many
ars ago it is true, to realize the posei
litles of this important industry. He
timai ps the crop of this season to he
out 650,000 boxes. The deficit in the
op is owing to the freeze o! 1885-6. Hud
not been lor that this year’s crop would
ve been 1,260,000 boxes. His estimates
r last season, namely, 1,C00,C00
xes, were lully verified, but
a freeze out off one-hall.
Tout two-thirds of the present crop
s been marketed. The most ol what is
11 on hand is in the Indian river sec
o and in South Florida. In those parts
the State the late cold snap has not lu
ed the fruit or trees.
SLIGHT DAMAGE BY FROST.
The temperature at Gainesville and
cksonville indicated, the Colonel said,
it the fruit had been frosted, but tortu
tely most of the crop had been shipped,
and it any damage was done it was so
ry smull that it is not worth mention-
The msjor part of the
ip that is still in the
ite, and which Col, Elliott thinks does
i exceed 250,000 boxes, is perfectly sale
nr danger this season and should bring
and prices. There is no orange like the
rida orange, and everybody realizos
fact.

with about the matter and demand a vin
dication at his hands. He of course got no
satisfaction from the Bishop. Ho returned
to Savannah and renounced all connec
tion with the Episoopal Church. Since
then his acts have been such as to leave
no doubt of Ins being mentally unsound.
He began toannouuce bimsulf as a bishop,
though not of any particular denomina
tion, and claimed that he was ordained by
God himself.
A short time ago he wrote to Richard
Artson, a well-known colored man, tell
ing him that at a meeting which had been
held he was authorized to contract debts
at any ot the stores In the city for the
purposeM repairing and fitting up Em
pire Mall. He aloo wrote to Rev. Alexan
der I Us ( colored) teliiug him that att e
same meeting he had been appointed to
supervise the work which was needed at
the hall. In each letter ho added that
dire punishment awaited the nonper
foi mauco ol the duties to which they had
been assigned.
One ot Roberts’ latest freaks developed
a few days ago. He called upon Mr.
Boone with the intorniation that, he was
to he married, and asked the reverend
gentleman to perform the ceremony. Mr.
Boone told turn that he must first takeout
a license belore ho could marry. Roberts
started for the Ordinary’s office to get tho
license, but came hack in a tew minutes
very much disturbed, ilo said that the
Ordinary had asked lor the name and age
ot tho woman he intended to marry, and
he was unable to give either.
Mr. Boone, in great astonishment, then
questioned him as to the name and resi
dence of the woman, but the would-be
bridegroom could tell nothing concerning
either. A few days alter this he wrote to
Air. Boone asking If he had yet lound the
woman’s name, stating that he himself
had been unable to do so, but that he had
lound out that sue hud an aunt whose
name was E. M. Z.
He tried to Dole! meetings at Empire
Hall on last Sunday, but had only three
or jour hearers who stopped in out of
curiosity, and who stayed hut a few min
utes. 1 hero is little doubt in the minds
of those with whom Roberts uae come In
contact that he is insane and that an
asylum is the proper place for him.

SOLICITOR OKNKIIAIi DuBIGXON
Wllllßv 111 EM A lifcTTKlt.
Ha I'ropoißd to Knforce the L%\v in Re-
Caril to the Kxactlon of Corlm in Criin
intil Crhhh Either from n Prosecutor
or I>efen<lMiit What the Magistrates
Say About It.
The Justices of the Peace in the city
were considerably stirred up yesterday
by a clroular letter from Solicitor Gene
ral dußigaon. In it he stated that he was
determined to enforce what he construes
to he tho law of Georgia in reference to
the exaction of oosts in criminal cases
from either a prosecutor or a defendant.
Continuing he says: “in order that you
may not be misled by practices hitherto
acquiesced in 1 deem it but just and pro
per to inform you of my views of the law
in this connection. In the first place 1
desire to apprise you of the fact that an
order of the City Court of Savaunah,
passed in April, 1875, and entered upon
the minutes ot that court, allowing a
prosecutor in any criminal case, raturu
able to said court, to discontinue the
prosecution on payment of costs, includ
ing Solicitor General's fee, has been an
nulled and set aside in open court upon
tny motion.
TIIK LAW OF THE STATE.
“In this matter of costs then there is
nothing to guide and govern but the law
as contained in the Code of Georgia, and
the local aot passed in 1874 fixing the
lees of magistrates wituin the corporate
limits ot Savannah. In neither the Code
nor in this act can 1 find any authority
given expressly or by impli
cation to magistrates to de
mand or collect from either prosecu
tor or defendant nnv costs iu a criminal
case. On the contrai vit is expressly in
hibited In all cases. The act reterred to
uses the following language: ‘And no
magistrate or constable shall ever de
mand nr receive from any urosecutor or
defendant any costs, either directly or
indirectly, in anv criminal case.’ This
net as amended hy tho act of 1876, p. 360,
is the only law upon the subject appli
cable to Cnatham county, a*ide Irom that
embodied in the Code. Section 8 of this
laHt mentioned act gives to tho magis
trates in tba city of Savannah the right
to charge and collect $3 00 for drawing up
or writing a bond In criminal cases,
whenever a person or party, after exami
nation, lias been committed to answer
lor any offence.
NOT LEGAL COSTS.
“It is my opinion that this amount can
not be charged or cotleoted as costs. My
construction of this section of the act
being that as a matter of contract be
tween the magistrate and defendant the
former was permitted thereby to charge
as much as $3 00 for his services for writ
ing or drawing up the boud. This con
struction of the act is in harmony with
the general laws of the State upon the
subject of mfltgßGates fees, and unless
so construed to a provision
of the of the State which ex
presslv declareWbat ‘no one shall t>e
coinnelied to pay costs except after con
viction on dual trial.’
IN REGARD TO PEACE WARRANTS.
“In reference to peace warrants the
City Code ot Savannah, soction 4,978 of
the Code of Georgia, requires that all
peace warrants and bonds to keep the
peace shall be returned immediately
to the Solicitor General's office, and in bis
absence from tho county to the Clerk’s
office of the City Court, which warrants
and bonds are subject to inspection hy th *
Solicitor Genera! and tho Judge of said
court at each term thereof. The Judge Is
empowered in his discretion, upon such
inspection, to cancel such bonds or annul
such warrants. The giving of a bond by
a defendant under the peace warrant is
not, therefore, such a ‘conviction of the
issue’ as would authorize the collection
of costs until after the matter had been
passed upon in the court to which it Is
returnable.
ONLY A COURT OF INQUIRY.
“There is no criminal case which can be
disposed of finally iu a magistrate’s
court. The section ot the City Code to
which I have referred requires that ail
warrants returnable to City Court shall
he tiled with tae Solioltor General or Clerk
immediately, and violation of either pro
vision ol this law subjects the magis
trates to liability for malpractice.
“1 have reached these conclusions after
examining the different acts and sections
of I he Code and leel assured of their sound
ness. A sense of duty and the couvictn n
that the public Interest* demand it, will
require in the future at my hands a rigid
eiiiorceuieut of wnat 1 conceive to be the
law.
EQUALLY APPLICABLE TO CONSTABLES.
“All that 1 have said in reference to
magistrates is euually applicable to con
slatiies. The law in this respect govern
ing the one is as clear and well defined as
lhe other.”
The magistrates say that the Solicitor
General’s construction of tne law will
take away from them the better part of
their fees. “The only thing wo will have
left to live on will be the civil business,”
said one last night. “For my part 1 shall
not issue warrants in criminal oases.
QUIT TIIE BUSINESS.
“If anybody coine9 to me lor a breach
of the peace warrant or anything ol mat
kind, 1 will refer him to the Judge and
let the Sheriff have the paper served. We
will beexpected to furnish paper, ink and
constables for nothing.”
There was some talk of making a lest
case, but to do *o will necessitate an iu
diotment by a graud jury and a prosecu
tion, which none ot the magistrates care
to seek.

His Resignation from tlio Captaincy
of the Republican Blues.
Col. George A. Mercer’s resignation
from the captaincy ot the Repub
lican Blues was submitted to tho
; company last night. Haring been
j their commanding officer for nearly fifteen
years it was with sincere regret that the
Blues accepted his resignation. Col.
Mercer will remain a member ol the com
pany, although he will he in command ot
the regiment, in offering his resignation
he said:
Savannah. Jan. 6,1387.
7L lhe Officers and Members of the Ite/iublican
il me :
Gentlkmzn—On April 27, 1872. i was hon
ored with a com ini-ion a vour Captain, and
from that period until the present 1 have en
deavored with fidelity to execute the office
then cont ri eil, and I have often feltcon
sc.ious that I failed to realize the measure of
my wishes, and that lhe company was eel itled
lo a larger portion of rn time and efforts;
hut my heart was always in the work, and
sustained hy the faithful co-operation of my
earnest and capable Lieutenants, and by the
unfaltering support of a nucleus of true and
constant members, of which any corps might
be proud, I have remained your Captain for a
period of nearly lliteen years.
The increasing burden and cares of busi
ness has ni last ndnionisln and me that. I was
unable to yield to the company the tune and
personal effort necessary for its continued
snoce-s. and that I should withdraw in favor
oi a soldier whose heart cannot hold you
closer, inti whose opportunities can avail you
better. As you are aware, the Colonelcy of
your regiment was tendered to me under cir
cumstances not only flattering to my self
esteem. huf which, in my judgment, made it
my duty to accept.
I aiu tnereiore constrained to offer my res
ignation a-your Captain. It is a source of
mingled gratification and pride to know that
you have tried and competent officers, and
roc men who wid maintain the company in
its integrity and hold aloft in the future the
Hp.ril of its beautiful motto.
I invoke the most earnest efforts of every
officer and member to sustain the ancient
name and charac erof Ihe Republican liiaes,
and to make the company a valued an I effi
cient portion of the regiment. My parting
wish is for tlie continued prosperity of the
corps and of every officer and member in its
ranks. Although I retire irom command as
your ( aptain, 1 shall remain a member of the
company, amt experience a most earnest in
terest m all that inav concern its welfare,
and I trust that, through weal or woe, I shall
still be regarded as your comrade and friend.
Most respectfully and biuret'. dy vours,
Guoauk A.Meuckk.
Col. Clifford W. Anderson, whom Col.
Mercer succeeds in command of the regi
ment, was present at tho meeting. As he
entered the hall he was given a warm
welcome by his old comrades—the Blues
—from among whom he was promoted to
the Colonelcy. In speaking of the regi
ment’s new commanding officer he paid
a high tribute to his ability, and
eloquently alluded to his connection
vvitn the company. ii also spoke of the
officers in tne line of promotion who are
fully able to maintain the past brilliant
record of the Blues.
Lieut. W. D. Dixon is the unanimous
choice ot the company as Col. Mercer’s
successor if he will accept, in case he
will not Lieut. Morrell will prohsbly be
elected. Lieut. Dixon would have been
elected at once had he consented. The
election was postponed, however, until
such time as Lieut. Dixon, being the se
nior officer and in command, shall order
it, which will probably be at an early
day.
THE DUKE’S PARIV.
They Take in the Siglitu About (he
City.
The Duke of Sutherland and his party
will leave to-day at noon for Charleston,
where he will join his yacht, the bans
I’eur. There are in bis party Sir John
McDonald, Mrs. A. Blaer, Miss Smith.

Duke’s valet and the ladies’ maid. They
occupy nine rooms at the Pulaski House,
and spent a great part of the day doing

gentleman ami very pleasant.
His vaoht, tho bans I’eur. is a large
three-masted steam yacht with steel hull
and handsome apartments. She was pur

May fora pleasure yacht, and is called
Sans Peur alter the family motto. She Is
commanded by Capt. James Williams,
and is manned by a crew ot twenty-five
men. Capt. Williams is a typical British
sailor, bluff in manner, but very courteous
and evidently knows how to handle his
gallant vessel.
He left Plymouth, Eng., about Dec. 20
with orders to meet the Duke and party
in Charleston. The trip was made by
way ot Bermuda, and is described by
the Captain as having been exceedingly
rough. Four heavy gales were encoun
tered between Charleston and Bermuda.
Ou Sunday morning the vessel was
struck by a cyclone, accompanied by
thunder and I goining and torrents of
rain The wind blew trorn ail tho points
of the compass, transforming the sea
into a conius and mass of ioaming water
and carrying away the vessel’s jibboom
and topmast. The gig or small boat was
also s wept overboard. The Sans Peur is
a thorough seagoing craft, however, and
safely rode tne storm, making the trip
from Bermuda to Charleston in three
days.

vannah in his yacht, altbonuh he may
visit Fernandiua and other Florida points

THIS SAVANNAH BASF, B\M; AS
600AVION ORGANIZED.
Over Ninety Share* of Stock Subscribed
and the Full Amount to bo Made Up
To-Day and To-Morrow—A New Board
of Directors Elected—l be First In
stallment of Stock to be Called In To-
Day—The $2,000 Guarantee to be De
posited on Monday.
Savannah will have bane hall next sea
son.
It Is no longer an uncertain element in
the Southern League. Enough stock has
been pledged to guarantee the success of
the association, and an organization was
effected at the Fords’ Opera House meet
ing last night.
1. G. Haas was elected President, and
Samuel Herman, George L. Cope, Jr., J.
J. Sullivan and F. A. Einstein, directors.
The backers of the movement some
days ago determined not toorganlzeuntil
HO shares were subscribed, and if this
amount was not raised by last night to
let the association go by the board.
VET TO BE SUBSCRIBED.
At the meeting part of the amount re
maining unsubscribed was pledged,
bringing the subscriptions up to a few
more than ninety shares, ami leaving
tllteen shares yet to be obtained. Quite
a number of gentlemen who have said
that they will aid the enterprise and who
were expected to be present were not
there. In view ol the fact that so near
the amount asked for has been obtained,
it was decided to organize and get the as
sociation in shape, trusting to the lib
erality of the public to subscribe the few
remaining shares.
NO TIME TO BE LOST.
It was necessary to do something at
once if anything is to be done at all. The
$2,000 guarantee must be deposited iu
Nashville by Monday, and unless some
definite steps were taken the league
Iranchise would be lost. The canvassing
committee will call upon those who have
not already subscribed to-day and to-nmr
row, and it is hoped that by to-morrow
night, when an adjourned meeting will be
held, the 110 shares will have been ob
tained. Air. 11. S. Johnson will call upon
those who have subscribed to-day for
their subscriptions, as it is necessary that
the lull amount of the first installment be
paid in at once, iu order to cover the
guarantee.
TO SIGN A MANAGER.
There is no longer any doubt as to Sa
vannah’s being lr. the league next season.
The directors will organize to-day. The
next move will he to secure a manager,
which will be done at once. There is
6ome talk oi Charley Morton, who man
aged last year’s team during the early
part of the season. He is at bis home in
Akron, 0., and is understood ,to |be anx
ious to come. Now that it is settled that
Savannah will have a club the direotors
say that they will have one composed of
crack players.
A LIVE CLL’B.
There will be no hanging back and
monkeying about this thiag and that.
They propose to have live men and men
who wlil play ball. Last year’s experi
ence was a valuable one, and the new
association proposes to profit by it. There
is no time now to be lost in getting me
team together. New Orleans has signed
several players and is adding to its list.
Charleston has her team complete, and
Memphis Is ready for the race. Macon
has yet done nothing, and Chaltanooga
has been remaining ijuiet, but will be in
when the time comes.
NASHVILLE’S PUSH.
Nashville is actively at work, and has
just signed "Fog Horn” Bradley, one ot
the best-known hasp ball men in the
country, as manager. So far Atlanta has
made no attempt to raise money anil no
steps have been taken toward arranging
a club, and the chances are that she will
not be represented on the Southern
League field. Mobile and Birmingham are
both anxious to ccme in, though, and are
ready to take the first place that becomes
vacant. There is every prospect of a
brilliaut base ball season in the South.
