KICK OF THE TROOPS.
ADJT. GIN. KILL UPSETS THI
REGIMENTS' PLANS.
The Postponement of the Encammnent
Opening to Avoid Sunday Travel Not
Kindly Takn to by the Savannah
Soldiery—An Effort to be Made to Se
cure a Rescinding of tbe New Order
—Tbe Anti-Baggage Order Revoked.
Tbs Chickamau ra ncampmeat£i 2 oaus
ng a good deal of talk and much aunoy
inoe to Savannah’s soldiers, who make up
the biggest portion of the state’s forces.
Tbe trouble is over the orders being issued
By Adjt. Gen. Kell. Order No. 80 was to
ike effect that all companies going into
samp should only carry fatigue uniforms,
and would be allowed no other luggage
itaa blanket bags, which will bs furnished
by tbe state.
This aroused a vigorous kick from Sa
rannab aud from all over tbe state. If a
rainstorm should come up, like the one
which deluged Camp Richmond, at Au
gusta, a year ago, the soldiers would be in a
lice fix. They would have no change of
aoiform, and not even citizens’ clothes to
wear.
“Does the adjutant general expect us to
prowl around naked and wait for our
clothing to dry under sucn circumstances f
was the question many of the boys asked.
No provision was even made for changes
of underclothing, and many of tbe men
who bad previously announced their inten
tion of going into camp gave notice that if
:ha order were adhered to they would refuse
to go. The kick spread all over the state
and things began to look dark for the suc
cess of the encampment.
GIN*. KELL'S NEW ORDER.
Adjt. Gen. Kell heard of the dissatisfac
tion, and immediately saw bis error and
let about rectifying it. Day before yester
lav be issued an order repeating tbe obnox
ious portions of order No. 30, and allowing
loidiers to taxe Into camp full dress uni
forms, ordinary sacbols or traveling bags,
tnd even cots or mattresses where a whole
company was provided with these comforts.
Had the adjutant general stopped then
sverythlng would have been all right, and
ao further complaint would have been
beard. Gov. Northen and he, however, de
aidsd that it isn’t just right for military to
travel on Sunday. So a olaute was tacked
on to the repealing order changing the
opening of the encampment from Monday,
Jane lb, to Tuesday, June 16.
Tbe Savannah soldier* are mad now, and
If Gov. Northen ana Adjt. Gen. Kell coaid
have beard the talk among them yesterday
they would probably be sorry that they had
shanged the dates. The change was tbe
•ole topic of conversation. The member*
sf the First regiment bad made all their
irrangernents to leave Savannah Sunday
afternoon. June 14, reaching Chickamauga
it daylight the next morniDg. They will
aow'lose a day in camp.
NOT TIME ENOUGH.
The change means but a four days’ en
svnpmenr,. Five was short enough.
“Gov. Northen and Adjt. Gen. Kell,”
laid a well-known member of the Cadets,
"must have grown fearfully religious
lately in regard to traveling on Sun
lay. Probably, if America and some
European power became engaged in war
luring their term, they would give the gen
srals orders not to allow the Georgia
troope to move on Suuday, no
matter what position the enemy might
occupy. The change of date is ridiculous.
We are all anxious to go iuto camp, aud
tbe loss of a day means considerable to us
n instruction and everything else. I
wouldn’t be surprised If another order
would be issued a: an early day for each
sonunand to take bymn books Into camp.’’
Similar sentiment* were expressed by the
other oompanles. It is probable that the
Kimpanie* will take actiou during this
week to have tbe order rescinded if possible,
wd tbe oamp opened on tbe day first agreed
Upon.
ROBBED HIS EMPLOYER.
Drugglet Reid Catches His Porter and
is Surprised.
George Devon, a oolored porter at W. F.
Reid’s drug store, at South Broad and East
Broad streets, was arrested yesterday and
lommitted to jail for robbing bis employer.
For some time Mr. Reid has been losing
Taney articles and other things out of hit
■took, acd. although he kept a close watch,
failed to find the thief. Several
days ago a sum of money was
stolen from the store, and
he immediately called in tbe services of
Detectives Wetherhoru and Basch. Yes
terday the officers arretted Devon, who was
highly indignant at being suspected even of
being a thief. Deteotive IVetberhorn took
his prisoner to Justtce Naughtin’s office,
and Detective Basch went to the porter’s
girl’s house to investigate matters. He was
surprised at the find he made. There was a
profusion of all sorts of fancy articles, Buch
as oombs, brushes, purses, mirrors, per
fumery, etc. All these were gathered up
and taken to Justice Naughtin’s office.
Devon stoutly denied having committed a
theft, but wlieu Detective Basch informed
him that he bod found sufficient evidence
at his girl's house the negro made a oou
fessiou as to the stealing of tbe goods, but
denied taking the money. He said that he
had been systematically robbing Mr. Reid
for quite awhile. Every night when leav
ing tbe store hojgwould pick up an article
sod conceal it about him.
PUT OFF UNTIL L&TAR.
The Time for Keceivintr Proposals for
the Public Building Bite.
The date for the opening of proposals for
the rale of a site for the new United States
government building, advertised in the
Morning News, has been changed from
June 15 1 3 June 22.
The treasury department, it seems, has so
much of this work on hand that it takes it
a long time to get around. It also seems that
Savannah has been placed about last on the
list, as the department has been promising to
•end a special age it here for the last six
months.
Congressman Lester urged upon Super
vising Architect Windrim the importance
of early action here, but before anything
was done Mr. Windrim resigned, and the
•election of a site lias been undertaken by
new parties. It was expected that a special
agent would be sent here by the treasury
Bepartment to look into the selection of a
site. It seems, however, that the matter is
to be left with a commission. Who will
compose the commission is not known.
THE L ADIE i GO THEMSELVES.
They Visit the Poetofflce Now as They
Do the Stores.
Postmaster Doyle and the employee of the
past ffice say that the most noticeable feat
ure about the p onto flics is the number of
ladies who go there.
When the pr.stoihoe was in the old build
ing on Bay street the ladles who came there
cu busmens of any kind connected with the
potto dice were remarkably few. They got
Iteir husbands and brothers to mail their
letters and get their stamps.
Now ttiat the quarters of the postottice
are farther up town, and nearer the resi
dence portion of the city, the number of
lady patrons outnumbers the men
Ihe employes say that the number of
ladies who Visit the postoftioe are ferty to
one compared with the old quarters

A BULLET FOB A POLICEMAN.
Officer Baughn tbe Target for a Pistol
Ball.
Officer R. W. Baughn bad a bard tussle
opposite the market last night, and came
near being struok by a bullet which tome
unknosm person fired with the evident in
tention of killing the offioer.
A negro named John Youngblood pur
chased a quart of blaekberries from a ne
gro woman named Rosa Yonmans and gave
her, be claimed, a $5 gold pieoe fora nickel.
When Youngblood arrived home he
discovered his lots ard hastened back to
the market and got Policeman Baughn and
Deputy City Marshall Kelly to assist him
in locating ths woman. She was found but
refused to return the money, olaiming that
tbai she bad not received the $5 gold piece.
Youngblood ordered her arrest. When
Officer Baughn attempted to make the ar
rest a lively time ensued. The sister of the
woman interfered and she also was taken
Into custody. Then Richard Williams
took a hand in tbe effray and
started in to “do up” the officer.
Policemen Baughn grabbed Williams aid
Williams caught him around tbe neck. Tbe
officer plied his club vigorously, and tbe
negro fought like a tiger. Policemen Mor
gan and Reilly heard tbe racket and went
to the assistance of their brother officer.
Just as the excitement was at Its greatest
someone in the crowd fired a pistol at Offi
cer Baughn, but tbe bullet missed him.
The crowd dispersed in short order after
the pistol was fired, and it was a matter of
in possibility to find out who fired it.
Officer Baughn finally subdued Williams
with bis clnb aud be aud the two women
were taken to tbe barracks. Officer
Baughn’* hands wore scratobed in several
places, and bit clothes were torn and
sprinkled with blood. Williams presented
a bloody sight at tbe barracks. His entire
faoe and shirt front were covered with
blood, and he looked a* If he bad run against
a buzz saw.
Officer Baughn is one of the pluckiest
men on the force. He is the officer who
shot a negro several month* ago in Frog
town, and assisted Officer Davit in the raid
of the Yamacraw gambling dive, in which
Isaac Cbauc was killed. It was probably
some of the friends of Chance or the other
ngro that tried to kill the officer last
night.

B. A. HART DEAD.
A Former B&vannah Merchant Taken
Off in Asheville.
Information has beau received in this city
of the doath of Mr. Benjamin A. Hart,
which sad event took place at Asheville, N.
C., last week. Tb* deoeased was a clerk iu
this city before the late war, and oo its
breaking out entered the confederate ser
vice and served with distinction until its
close. On his return to Savannah he
entered the employ of E. C. Wade & Cos.,
aud soon after became one of the firm of
Lawton, Hart & Cos., a bouse that for years
stood at the head of tbe ootton business of
Savannah. He was afterward a member
of the firm of Walter & Hart. On the dis
solution of that oonoern Mr. Hart moved to
Barnwell oounty. South Carolina. The
fatal disease which was to terminate bis
life, consumption, bad made its appearauoe,
and though he lingered on for years be was
unable to again enter commercial life. Mr.
Hart waa a merchant of reoognized ability
aud strict integrity, and made many friends
during hit mercantile oareer. He was a
widower and leaves four children—three
boys and a girl. He was about 60 years
old.
INVINIBD A NEW BOAD CART.
An Original Idea and a Texas Pony
Uae a Genius Badly.
A young man named Pitts, living on
Indian street, several days ago constructed
a roadcart of his own design, and started
out yesterday to try his new invention be
hind a spirited Texas pony. The animal
did not take kindly to the new-fangled
arrangement, and started on a kicking run
as soon as the driver took his seat.
At the corner of West Broad street he
dumped Pitta out on the oobblestones and
bruised him considerably. The animal con
tinued his run until be demolished the new
style roadcart, which Pitts said he had con
structed with a view to prevent mjury to
the occupant from kicking animals.
The young man’s inventive geuius is badly
shaken by his first experiment in coming in
oontaot wish oobblestones.
THE CLUB LICENSE QUESTION.
The Oglethorpe Considering the Ad
visability of Paying Up.
Mayor MoDonough said yesterday that
no action has yet been taken by the city in
the Oglethorpe Club license case. The
matter is under advisement by the club,
and will most likely be settled at an early
day without an appeal to the courts.
Mayor MoDonough will notify during the
week all the other clubs in the city which
sell liquor that licenses must be taken out.
If they fall to comply within a reasonable
time he will take action against them as
saloons carrying on business without
lioenees.

BANANAS BY THE MILLION
BAVANNAK TAKING ITS PLACE
AMONG TBE GREAT FRUIT PORTS.
The RaDldly Increasing Importations
of Tropical Fruits—l6o,ooo Bunches
of Bananas Received in the Last tix
Months Savannah Becoming the
Great Supply Port of the Southeast.
A New Lhe of Fruit Steamers to be
Put on in the Fall.
Tbo importation of tropical fruits U on*
of Savannah’s growing trades. Over 150,-
000 bunches of bananas and 500,000 cocoa
nuts have been brought to Savannah and
resbipped or sold here since last October.
Savannah firms now have steamers and
schooners regularly engaged in bringiug
bananas and oocoanutsJiere from Bluefislds
and Barraooa. .They will inoreose their
importation next year.
The statement issued by W. W. Hurlbert
& Cos. of New York of the importations of
bananas into this oountry last year shows
an increase of 33>f per cent in 1890 over
tbe importations during 1889, the importa
tion for 1890 being 12.582.1KX)
bunches. as against 9,093,000
for 1889, an increase;* of 3.489,000
bunches. Of this amouut New York re
ceived 4,731,000 and New Orleans 8,669,000,
making over two-tblrds of the imports re
ceived by these two ports. The other third
was divided between Boston, Philadelphia,
Baltimore, Savannah, Tamp* and Gal
veston.
IMPORTATIONS INCREASING.
A New York paper, oommenting on these
figures, says that though New York and
New ■ Orleans received two-thirds of
the amount shipped. yet they
only obtained one-half of the increase,
and it tecimes an interesting inquiry as to
what point the trade is turning. Charleston
calls attention to its advantages as a banana
port. The advantages of Savannah have
already been reoognized, however, aud tbe
business is assuming important dimensions.
Not many years ago Savannah imported
very few bananas, and bought her home
supply from Charleston and New Orleans.
A Morning News reporter learned from
several of Savannah's importers yesterday
that the business is a growing one, and is
capable of assuming great dimension*. Sa
vannah it already shipping bananas
throughout Georgia, Tennessee, Alabama,
and to Cincinnati and St. Louis.
SAVANNAS CAN SUPPLY THE COUNTRY.
"The whole oountry between Cincinnati
and Savannah could easily be supplied from
Savannah,” said one importer.
The importers all agree that the great
thing necessary is the co-operation of the
railroads with the shippers. The business
is entirely dependent on the railroads.
They have not paid muoh attention to the
banana business in previous years, but of
late their attention has been attracted to it,
aud they are beginning to offer the shippers
tbe accommodations required for the busi
ness. The Central railroad recently put
through a train of ten cars of banauat from
Savannah to Atlanta in twelve hours for
Kavanaugh & Brennan. The requirements
of the banana trade are rapid transporta
tion and close attention to tbe state of the
cargo until It reaohes its destination. The
railroads have recently agreed to allow tbe
shippers to send one in&u with each ship
ment to look after the fruit, a very neces
sary thiug. It mutt be seen to that the
oars are well ventilated if tbe weather is
warm and that they are kept close if it is
cold, as the banana is very easily affected
by beat or cola.
EVERYBODY EATS BANANAS.
The consumption of bananas in this coun
try has ii 'own wonderfully in the last few
years, and the demand is keeping full pace
with the supply. A few years ago tales of
bananas outside of the port oities were com
paratively small. Now every oity and town
of any importance throughout the whole
oountry must have a supply winter and
summer. If Savannah only supplies its
own territory it will have a good trade.
Tbe facilities for the trade here are as good
as at any port in the oountry. It is only
about seven days' distance to the bauana
fields, and when the cargoes arrive they
can be immediately unloaded into tbe cars
alongside tbe wharf, and shipped northward
in a few hours after arrival here. A cargo
of bananas arriving to-day oould be laid
down in Atlanta to-morrow.
Kavanaugb & Brennan will continue
their steamer to Bluefleldt during tbe sum
mer, and expect to increase their importa
tions this fall.
J. 8. Collins & Cos. intend to put on two
steamers this fall between Savannah and
Barraooa. and will probably Import in tbs
neighborhood of 200,000 bunches.
ANOTHER VETERAN GONE.

“You are evidently stuck on H. & B.”
This remark came from one of my broth
ers, who had just been listening to my de
scription of the handsome furnishing goods
I had seen up-town.
I don’t tee why a girl can’t be allowed to
admire tbe pretty things that are kept by
tbe haberdasher*. I love to stop in and see
tbe new designs in collars and cuffs and
neckwear, and when I begin to elaborate on
tbe lovely styles my brothers laugh, bat
neverthelsM they go and see for themselves
and always oome home with something that
I bad recommended.
What means H. Sc B. ? Why, the enter
prising firm of Hoadley Sc Bennitt, the
fashionable haberdashers acd hatters. They
keep the very finest line that is shown in the
city. Among some choice specialties wbioh
have just been received are imported
colored shirts, open front and back, in
stripes and figure*. They have three col
lars. all new shapes, including the "Byron
Roll" and a pair of excellent cuffs. Tbe
Stanley neglige shirts am also among the
novelties, aud puff shirts are plenti
ful. Among the largo line of
stylish neok wear is the Ascot scarf in new
effects. Miller’s hats also take the lead, and
they have a full line. Also helmets in straw
ana cork. Military gloves imported from
Germany, and the very beet for tbe sol
diers. One of the latest and prettiest things
for men’s wear at the seashore are yachting
suits and caps. They have them in white
and figured, and belts and (ashes go with
them. The fashionable gentlemen of Sa
vannah will be glad to know that they can
find a full line of imported collars and cuffs
aud fine English neckwear from Welch,
Margetson Sc Cos., of London, at Hoadley &
Bennitt’s, 35 Whitaker street.
The Alaska Refrigerator.
What 1* the use of a refrigerator!
A great many makes are of no account,
as can be testified by numbers of families
who have tried them. I have been looking
up the solid comforts of summer, and have
naturally sought refrigerators in which to
keep cool. I have found oat the points
necessary to make a complete refrigerator:
they are:
First, The preservation of perishable
food.
Seoond, The disposal of the foul vapors
which constantly exhale from provisions.
Third, Dryness of atmosphere in the pro
vision chamber.
Fourth, Low and unvarying tempera
ture.
Fifth, An economy of ice.
AH of these results are produoed by the
celebrated Alaska, charcoal-filled, dry air
refrigerators, which are plainly demon
strated on scientific principals, by which
low temperature and dryness of air are
naturally and Inevitably obtained and it pos
sesses a provision chamber free from odor.
It has preserved fresh meats perfectly for
three weeks in the hottest weather, and it
prodnees better results with less ioe than
any other refrigerator in the country.
Several points are worthy of mention
that exist in the Alaska, and make it ths
very best refrigerator in the market. The
currents of air are kept In constant motion
hy the opposing forces of beat and odd.
Tbe ioe lies upon an ice rack made of oor
rugated galvanized iron, which is an excel
lent conduotor. The air, by the simple
force of gravity in settling to the oenter in
tbe opening under the ice, comes in oontact
with this iron surface, as cold as ioe itself,
and which as surely condenses the vapor
left in the air as the vapor in your breath is
condensed when you breathe on a cold pane
of glass on a winter day. Tbe air in the
provision chamber, warmer or lighter, and
filled with foul vapor arising from tbe
food, forced by tbe cold air falliug
to the bottom, passes up through the side
flues to the central opening over the ice.
From the upper opening it gradually settles
down over the ioe to the coldest focus under
the Ice, and becomes not only cold, but pure
and dry by the condensation of tbe foul
vapor, which drops into the water pan and
runs off with the melting ioe, just as the
vapor in tbe atmosphere is condensed into
drops, of water in hot weather on the out
side of a pitcher of iee water. By thus re
moving the vapor all odor is removed, for
the odor is in the vapor—and dry, pure cold
air fall* in the provision chamber.
These results are achieved in tbe Alaska,
and in no other refrigerator. The Alaska
is undoubtedly tbe very best refrigerator
that can be had, and it is manufactured in
all the latest stylos from a handy household
size to an elaborate sideboard. They are
on sale by E. A. Schwarz of this city, who
baa a full line on exhibition at bis mam
moth establishment.
Matchless Matting.
At this season of the year housekeepers
are busy taking up tbe carpets and prepar
ing tor tbe coming summer. MattiDgs are
in order. Where oan the best be procured
and where the largest assortment) I will
tell you where I have seen the finest Hue of
matting that has ever been brought to
Savannah. All styles of Americm manu
facture in tbe leading styles aud figures and
China and Japanese straws woven into
lovely designs are sold at reasonable prices
by E. A. Schwarz.
Keep Off the Mosquitoes.
The mosquito net is indispensable. Noth
ing has bee i discovered that will take its
place, and at this season of the year we be
gin to look to our safety and the discomfort
of the pesty little sereuadar who makes us
nervous in the middle of the night, pro
vided he is not barred out completely. Only
one little mosquito can “rise Hail Colum
bia," and keep you busy for hours when
you should be getting muoh-needed rest and
sleep.
We have found the headquarters for all
kinds of nets to furnish oomfort and keep
the mosquito at a distance. The most pop
ular nowadays it the washable laoe net, and
they are in full and oomplete lines at E. A.
Schwarz’s, where also an excellent assort
ment gauze frames, four-post toasters, half
oanopies and turnover frames can be
found.
A Fisherman's Luck.
“Will you a fishing go?”
The season for summer sports is upon us.
Fishing rods, hooks and linss will now play

ure in the sportsman’s preparations to secure
flood Ashing tackle. I have just seen the
argest and finest lot of rods, reels, hooks
and linss of every variety and style, suit
able for every kind of fishing, from a tad
pole to a shark, at the esiablisbnient of
Cornwell & Chlpman, Now 106 Congress

A Grand Expanse of Salt Water—
From a High Bluff.
There is no island property on this coast
so grandly peculiar as Wilmington Island.
What Is known as Tilton’s Point is one of
the most pioturesque spots around Savao
nab. The bluff is bold, giving a gran
view of a magnificent sheet of water, whic
literally teems with fish, and is the home of
the famous Tnunderbolt oysters. This
bluff is shaded by massive old liveoaks,
which in beauty and size are teoond only to
those at Bonaventure. Oentl v sloping away
from the bluff is open cleared ground,
where the luscious sea island watermelon
is brought to a state of perfection, and
where every fruit and vegetable known in
this section can be raised abundantly.
Life on this island has often
been described by those fa
miliar with its advantages as oue
of ease and even luxury, the equable cli
mate being conduolve to old age and free
dom from the ills that in a malarial olimate
make life so wearisome.
It was a brilliant scheme, contrived by
live, progressive men, to give the public a
chance to obtain building lots on this favored
spot.
This company has not started out with
the expectation of making large profits.
Its prime object is to secure for themselves
and associates a pleasant, healthy summer
home and resort, and from the sale of the
surplus lots to improve tho property and
add to its desirability.
The first sale of lots will take plaoe on
Thursday, 28th. There will be a steamer
from the oity in the morning and also atrip
from Thunderbolt in the afternoon. Those
desiring to attend th • sale should get a plat
and read the advertisement carefully,—Ad.
