10 KILLED BY THE DROUGHT EFFECT OF THE DRY SPELL ON THE VEGETABLE CROPS. The Damage by Frost and. Drought Together Over Half the Expected Yield—The Quality of Vegetables Poor, But Prices Good. The drought that has prevailed for the test seven or eight months still continues. Friday night the rainfall was .46 of an inch, and it did an immense amount of good on the truck farms. The loss by the frosts and drought is from one-quarter to one-half a crop. The March frost killed off nearly every thing in die vegetable line except potatoes and com. Then when replanted the seeds refused"to germinate in the gry soil, and in tome cases "melons were planted three and four times. Even when they dirl come up the dry air and parched ground gave them little sustenance, and they were stunted. The vegetable crop was not only seriously hurt, but it was put back from two to three weeks. Florida vegetables have bee® de pended upon to a great extent until now, but, of course, they were not as succulent as those raised here. There is, however, a good crop of beets, turnips, carrots, radishes, squash, cabbage, new Irish potatoes, snap beans, peas, cucumbers, yellow turnips, kohl rabbi, strawberries, blackberries and plums now coming in. Old gardeners way that the loos by the drought is fully one-half of last year's yield, and the quality of vegetables’ is poorer. Potatoes are suffering greatly, and the yield will prob ably not lie over one-half what it should be. Strawberries suffered greatly at first, the frost and drought causing the bloom to drop and the yield will be about one-half the usual crop The market men are well pleased with the prices, which are better than they were last year, but as the yield is so much lees and the work is heavier they will realize no more than in ordinary seasons. In the mar ket yesterday ordinarv vegetable* brought about these prices; Beets 10c. bunch, S bunches for 25c.: turnips sc, bunch. 8 bunches for 25c.; carrots sc. bunch. 8 bmich es for 10a : radishes sc. bunch, 3 bunches for 10c.: squash, fair size, 3 for 25c.; cabbage 5, 10 and 15c.; potatoes 85c. per half peck; snap beans 15c. quart, 2 quarts for 25c.; cu cumbers sc. each, 3 for 10c.; yellow turnip 8 for 10c.; strawberries 10c. per box. Friday’s rain was pretty general for a dis tance of several miles,' and probably in another week will help out the vegetable market and brighten up the faces of the gardeners. The following table shows the average rainfall for the past eight months and also for the corresponding months of 1885-86: 'B6-7 'BS-6 September 1.64 5.43 October 90 3.78 November 51 2.28 December. . 3.16 8.73 January 8.71 3.60 February 3.53 3.05 March 76 8.99 April 2.06 4.3S Total 16.37 30.14 The average rainfall for May In the last fifteen years is a little over 3 inches. The rainfall for the first fourteen days of this month is only a trifle overhßlf an inch—not one-fourth the average rainfall. This gives a good idea of what vegetation has had to endure. The signal men are looking for a break in the drought verv " soon. There is another danger when the rains do set in, and that is, if the rainfall is too heavy, the fields will he flooded, and potatoes and other crops will rot badly. If light and frequent showers are ha/1 during the rest of the month they will do the most good. EARLY SUMMER’S TRAVEL. People Beginning- to Think About Where They Will Go. A good many people are already begin ning to think about where they will go to spend the summer. The railroad and steam ship agents predict that the rush of summer travel will begin at least two weeks earlier this year than it did a year ago. A few who own summer places have already gone. There is considerable inquiry at the railway ticket offices in regard to the opening of the • mountain resorts and about summer gates of travel. Although the rates have been made up by the Southern Passenger Committee they have not been announced and probably will not be until the last of the month. The re daction will go into effect as usual on June 1, and it is understood that the rate* will be about the same as they were last year. There is an impression among some jieople that they will be higher on account of the interstate commerce law. The Interstate law, however, will not effect the rates agreed upou by the passen ger committee. The mountain resorts in Georgia, the and Tennessee will open earlier §U>is year than usual in order to aceommo ■flato the early travel. The railway and ■teamship offices are being flooded with Bummer resort circulars from all over the Country. There is no lack of places to go to; ■he only difficulty ifc in deciding where So go. Within the past five years the nearby ■esorte —those in upper Georgia, in Tennos ■ra snd in Western North Carolina—have ■htamed a w ide popularity, and instead of Hoing North and West, to Saratoga, the ■niite Mountains and to the lakes, Southern ■sople find equally as attractive places in Kieir own country, reached in a few P*mrs instead of two or three days of hot and dusty travel. The putting on of a 1-hrongh fast train from Knvannnn to Ashe ville by the Antral railroad will doubtless do much to unpularize the Western North Carolina country. AT HEAD AND RING.

The standing of the other clnbs is the same as it was at the beginning of the week. To morrow’s games will end the present series and the next series, beginning on Wednes day, will be three games Mobile at Savannah. New Orleans at Charleston. Memphis and Nashville will lay off from Wednesday until next week Thursday, when the Memphians wiU come to Savannah for a four game series, and Nashville wUI go to Charleston, New Oi lcans and Mobile laying off until June 4. There is very Uttle prospect of a change in the standing of any of the clubs this week, unless Savannah and Mobile change places MobUe’s percentage of fames won is .294 against Savannah’s . 181. 'here is a bare ixjssibility that the home team, by good luck as much as anything, may manage to get a peg higher, but the chances are against it. Yesterday's game was another defeat in spite of “Tricky’’ Nichols. The Carolinans batted him for twenty-six clean hits with a total of thirty five bases. The locals’ hard liitting. aided by Savannah's errors woa the game. Sa vannah is better off, however, than the Athletics, in the American Association, which have yet to win their first game. Nichols Knocked Out. Charleston, May 14.—But eight innings of to-day's game were played before dark ness came on. The attendance was good, but the game lacked interest, owing to its one sidedness. The visitors chalked up 8 errors in the first three innings, while Cliarleston made 11 runs. After that they pulled themseives together and played in better form until the eighth inning.’ when they went to pieces completely. The follow ing is the score: CHARLESTON. A.B. R. 8.1P.0. A. E.

Nashville, Texn., May 14.—The game between Nashville and New Orleans to-day was too one-sided to be interesting. Up to the sixth inning the visitors had not got a man past first base, and but for Masran s wild throw to first in this inning they would have been shut out. Their runs were all made after this spoiling of what would have been a pretty double play and which would have retired the side. Burke’s plhying at short was the feature of the game. The visitors made numerous hits, but they were too scattering to avail anything.

THE ROTHSCHILD CASE. A Darien Merchant Charged With Passing Counterfeit Money. Charles Rothschild, of Darien, was before United States Commissioner Wade yester day on a warrant charging him with pass ing counterfeit money. Mr. Rothschild, who is a well-known merchant of Darien, was arrested last week on a warrant issued upon the affidavit of T. F. Dowdy, a timber cut ter in Telfair county, who stated that in August a year ago Roths child gave him three counterfeit silver dollars in change for a#s bill. The pieces appeared to be all right when he got them, but in a few' hours they turned black. Dowdy went back to Telfair county and the next day lost the monev while fishing. In his testimony before the Commissioner Dowdy was considerably mixed. He stated that he had never demanded of Mr. Roths child that he make good the bad money, and the reason that he had not entered a prosecution before was that he didn't know anything about law. and until he was told by Deputy Marshal Harris he didn’t even know that he could enter a prosecution at all. Several months after he claimed to have received the coun terfeit money he went back to Mr. Roths child and showed him another dollar and asked him if it was good money. Mr. Roths child told him that he didn’t know whether it was or not. Dowdy then grabbed Mr. Rothschild and struck him with an augur. He was drunk at the time and was arrested and lodged in jail, but the prosecution was afterward dropped and he was released. W. A. Burkett and John Johnson, jvho were with Dowdy in Darien, testified that Rothschild tried to get one of them to get the dollar that Dowdy showed him, and if they would he would make it right with them, and would get Dowdy out of jail. It was also claimed that Rotchsohild passed eleven counterfeit dollars on AVilliam Raj', of Darien, and Johnson stated that he saw one of the dollars and that it turned black and looked like lead. The defendant was represented at the ex amination by Solicitor General dußignon, who introduced evidence to show that Mr. Rothschild is a man of integrity' and of established business reputation. Messrs. Meinhard, M. Ferst, J. D. Weed and Lee Roy Myers of this city, and Mr. C. E. Dobson, a fanner of Telfair county, were put on the stand and swore that the defendant’s dealings with them for the past fifteen years have been satisfactory, and that so far as thev knew he is a man of strict in tegrity. C. H. Hopkins, Jr., Marshal of Darien, who arrested Dowdy, was also put up by the defense. He stated that Mr. Rothschild withdrew the prosecution against Dowdj- at his request. The defendant testi fied that he did not know Dowdy; that he did not give him any money as Dowdy claims, and that he did not pay the costs of hi® urosecution and only withdrew it at the solicitation of Mr. Hopkins. Mr. dußignon male a strong argument and submitted the case on the ground that there was nothing in the testimony of the government’s witnesses from which the de fendant's guilt could even be suspected. William Raj’ is one of the witnesses in the case, but. was not present yesterdaj*. The Commissioner desires to hear his testimony and continued the case until to-morrow morning. The Fogarty Casa The Fogarty case which was to have been argued in the Superior Court yesterday on a motion for anew trial was continued until next Saturday at the request of Mr. Meldrim, the prisoner's counsel. Owing to the illness of the court stenographer he has been unable to write out the testimony taken during the trial. Mr. Meldrim moved for a continuance until this is done and he can file a brief of the evidence. The motion was granted and the case was reassigned for next Saturdaj'. Fogarty is still in jail.
