Marietta Journal: The story is told to us
that two of our fruit growers, who do not
belong to the Fruit Growers’ Union, took
the responsibility of selling their peaches
this season on their own account and
judgment. Two buyers from the North
struck the town and bought a carload
from each. They were shipped as per
direction. A check came back for one of
the sellers for his carload, and the cheek
on presentation at the bank proved worth
less, and the other has not even received
a worthless check. The slick ducks reap
ed the reward of honest industry by ras
cality.

upon he threatened her with death. She
ran to the mill and brought her husband
back with her, but found Harmon had
gone. He was immediately pursued by a
crowd of indignant citizens, and If he is

News was received In Ganinesvill*
Wednesday of a horrible accident that
happened on the Florida Central and Pe
ninsular Railroad near Orange Heights
Monday night, In which Frank Granger,
a highly respected citizen of Grandln.
Putnam county, lost his life. Mr. Gran
ger and his son. J. M. Granger, and also
his brother, J. P. Granger, arrived in
Gainesville early on Monday morning, and
spent the day with his nephew, J. H.
Granger, night policeman. Late on Mon
day evening they started for their homes.
When some distance on the way the broth
er of the dead man discovered that some,
thing was wrong with his saddle stirrup.
He dismounted, as also did the son of the
deceased. As he did this the unfortunate
man said he would ride on ahead and they
could overtake him. Mr. Granger started
down the road toward Orange Heights,
and Just before reaching that place he
came to where the road load across the
Florida Central and Peninsular Railroad.
Mr. Granger had been up traveling all
tho night before-, and naturally was very
tired,and It Is supposed that he fell asleep
on his horse shortly after leaving the oth
er two, and when the horse catne to the
crossing, instead of going on over, ho
went down the track. The animal had
gone only a short distance when he ran
into a trestle, tho night being dark. It
is thought that as the horse fell into the
trestle Mr. Granger was thrown from the
saddle, the fall probably knocking him
senseless. While lying in an unconscious
state tho south-bound passenger train
came along and ran over him, tearing his
body into shreds. The dead man's brother
and son, after fixing-the broken stirrup,
again mounted their horses and went
home, thinking that Mr. Granger had pre
eetl**d them. When they got home he was
not there, but his family thought he
might have stopped with his brother. Next
morning when he did not return home his
son started out lo see what*had become
of him. On arriving at Orange Heights he
was almost paralyzed with horror to learn
of the terrible accident that had befallen
his father. A search was then begun for
the pieces of the man’s body, which were
lying along the track, arid for the money
and other articles he had about him, but
few of these could be found, and the
mangled remains were gathered together
and placed In a coffin. Mr. Granger was a
native of South Carolina, but has been
in Putnam county {or the past eight years,
acting In the capacity of foreman in the
Bardin Turpentine Works. He was high
ly respected ,nnd leaves a family of two
sons and a daughter, who are at his
home. He nlso has a wife, who, at the
time of his death, was visiting relatives In
South Carolina, and knows nothing of her
husband's tragic end.

i rue AGO VIEW OF OE\. WHEELER.
lii t*r**tin {•- Hki tch of the Soldier by
' Janie* O'Donnell Hcnnett.
From the Ch'cago Journal.
James O’Donnell Bennett, war corre
spondent of the Chicago Journal, who has
just returned from Sa .tiago, is wiring a
highly interest ng series of articles on
what he saw in Cuba, for hlj pip r. Mr.
Bennett was one of the brightest of the
many correspondents at the front, an.l hs
a most entertaining writer. An article by
him giving his impressions of Gen. Joe
heeler should be, therefore, of particu
lar interest to Southern |* oi>le.
Mr. Bennett writ* s in the Chicago Jour
nal as follows:
Among the personalities I cam - to know |
in the course of nearly three months’ fair
ly- close av.oc ai n with ihe army, that
of Maj. Gen. Joseph Whel*r stands out
as the most amiable, yet the most sol
dierly, the tno.-t dashing an I still the least
assertive, the most open and at the same
time the most cautious.
From the start h- was the soldier's beau
Ideal, respected by the regulars, liked
heartily by the volunteers of the North,
a'.id adored by th so from the South. He
was more and more highly esteemed as
the campaign progressed from days of
preparation at Tampa to days of lighting
around Santiago.
At the start solders anl civilians used
to say of him, "He's no hotel general.’’
hich meant a good deal, because a great
many generals at hat time seemed to be
mere potterers who ate coarse dinners and
changed their clothes and lolled in easy
chairs. But that wasn't so of Wheeler.
No sooner had he reached Tampa than
orders were given for the locaiing of his
divisional headquarters, his tents were up,
his cot set out, and Ihe old man was set
tled down to the privations and the rack
et of camp life after a lapse of 33 years.
Once 1 asked him how It seemed to be
back In uniform ugain, ami once more to
be sponging hi? days on horseback.
1 feel," said he. "as If I had had about
tnree weeks’ leave nnd was simply- return
ing to my usual uniies as general of cav
alry."
Much has been crowded Into his life
since last he had iverformcd those duties,
ami it is signficant of the gre*at impress
army 1 ifo leaves on a man's character,
that though years and years may pass,
he swings back into the life again with
no shock of surprise and no sense of
change.
Gen. Wheeler was happier earning In
a dusty field- under Ihe lea of a railroad
or in a little cleared patch amid the rain
soaked forests of palms than he ever was
In the great hotel at Tampa, to which
he seldom went unless he had business
with some of the sleek, table d’horte war
riors When he waswith them he trans
acted his affairs in a nervous hurry and
got out—ahi if the company tired him,
which no doubt it did.
Tf you sought him at his tent toward
evening when the rush of affairs slack
ened a littie, he was ever cordial in his
welcome, but with a certain manifestation
of bashfulness, as though you had done
him quite an honor by dropping In.
In the tiresome days when the foreign
consuls at Santiago had sewed up every
thing and were jabbering terms of sur
render, first with Shafter and then with
Toral, and next among themselves sol
diers used to say: "Weil, if we don't
move into Santiago pretty soon, Joe
YVheeler will get Chaffee and Lawton and
the three of them will march Into town
together—surrender or no surrender."
It was about Wheeler that in a short
time innumerable stories began to clus
ter. The unueual part of it was that the
stories always were to his credit, one,
for Instance, telling how he had climbed
a tree to take an observation, and had
remained there until he had finished with
a leisurely examination of the surround
ing country, then carefully wiped his
field glasses and descended, unharmed by
sharpshooters and unafraid of them.
He is a little delicately built man, with
white, beautifully fashioned hands, and,
as far as the physical goes, does not an
swer at all to one’s preconceived notions
of what a genera) of division should be.
In neither appearance nor bearing is he
like Sheridan, and his face is not stern
and hard like that of his great antagonist,
Sherman, to whom he w-as the source of
so many- toilsome days and sleepless
nights more than a generation ago. He
hasn’t a suggestion in his thin, small
body of the grossness of Shafter*. or Fitz
hugh lieb, who are usually red-faced,
puffing, perspiring.
Gen. Wheeler’s voice Is different from
theirs, too, not hoarse and gutteral, but
very mild, though precise and clean-cut
in its tones.
Intellectually, he Is alert, tireless and
far-seeing. Ae to his moral character, I
only know- that he is a church-goer and a
man who instantly convinces even a su
perficial observer that he is in the pres
ence of a peculiarly pure-minded and
cfean-livlng gentleman. Hence, one did
not hear queer stories or rowdy talk
around his headquarters—not because the
general seemed Puritanical, for no man
is more suave—but because visitors had
an instant realization that here was a
guileless nature and a self-respecting, dig
nified man.
I don’t think the general was offered
anything like complete opportunity- in
Cuba for the expression of his genius. He
had won his fame and beaten his enemies
as a great general of cavalry, and in Cuba
he was still a general of cavalry, but com
manding dismounted troops. Then, too, ho
could not direct the campaign independent-*
fy. Immeasureahly greater than the com
manding general, he yet was under him.
and so his energies and his talents were
applied in a circumscribed field.
But upon the whole army he had a de
cided moral effect. He was ever in the
line furthest advanced. Men knew that
between them and disaster was YVheeler,
and the thought comforted them and gave
them assurance.
He should have been the man of the
hour. Chance, or politics, or something
queer, had, relegated him to the perfor
mance of the lesser work. That work he
did nobly, but there was greater work
lying to his eager hand. Destiny in an
amazing fit of pique held his arm.
TO TICKLE MEN'S PALATES.
As Necessary to Know How to Pre
pore Drinks ns Edibles.
From the Now Y'ork Press.
Knowledge of how to bake bread, roast
meats and prepare soups is beyond ques
tion useful for the young housekeeper, hut
during these hot summer days skill in con
cocting refreshing beverages will make a
woman more popular than any degree of
more practical domestic efficiency.
With the beverages she could know how
to serve dainty and appetizing sandwiches
that will tempt a man In spite of himself—
not simply two pieces of bread with ,-ome
sort of meat between them, but savory
delicacies, such as are served abroad un
der the prosaic name of sandwiches.
In Austria the sandwich is never a shut
in affair. The pastry is light and delicate
and usually a little sweet. What we would
use as a filling is arranged on top in some
dainty design. Sometimes a little salmon,
a bit of cucumber, and a little fresh green
cress are used. Or preserves, iced fruit
or cream is substituted, but it Is still a
sandwich.
A firm sort of Jelly or gelatine Is some
times used as the foundation for the sand
wich instead of light pastry.
Every pastry cook of any sort of repu
tation invents anew sandwich.
Cheese sandwiches are especially desir
able for summer lunches. These may l>e
made of club cheese. arranged with lettuce
on slim slices of bread; Roquefort cheese
mixed with cream, so as to form a paste
for spreading 1 on slices cf bead, or Parme
san cheese grand and mixed with cay
enne popper and sprinkled on buttered
crackers, to be roasted a few minutes be
fore serving. Cheese straw.; are made by
mixing together one half pound flour, one
quarter pound butter, one-half pound grat
ed Partnesau cheese, white of two es3S. a
little salt, pepper and mustard; rolling
thin, cutting in strips and baking a ight
brown. These are especially nice with
salads or cocktails.
Nut sandwiches, made by mixing finely
chopped English walnuts with mayon
naise dressing and-spreading on thin slices
of bread, constitute a desirable relish.
Anchovy and caviare should be mixed
with lemon and olive oil before being made
up into sandwiches.
Here are some beverages that, if care
fully made, will reconcile the average man
to living, even with the thermometer ris
ing at a record-breaking speed. Even the
name of silver fizz is refreshing. To
make it, put into a glass,or mixer filled
with tine ico one tablespoonfui of pow
dered sugar, three dashes of lemon Juice
or the Juice of a lime, the white of one egg
and a wine glass of gin. Shake and fill
up with carbonated water.
A Rcmsen cooler is made by removing
the peel of a lemon, carefully cutting it
around so that it shall be in one piece and
curl, putting this around a piece of ice in
a tall glass and adding a wine glass of gin
and a bottle of club soda.
To prepare a mint Julep as they make
them in Virginia, you must have three long
sprigs of perfectly fresh mint, and place
th. m with their stems resting on the bot
tom of a tall glass. Then crush the ex
tract from two other sprigs and mix it
with a little powdered sugar and a dash of
seltzer. Fill with ice. then arid n dash
of Jamaica rum. Sometimes the top of
the glass is ornamented with fruits, but
a Virginian will tell you not to spoil a good
thing in that way.
Champagne, Rhine wine and claret cups
are all made in the same way. Into a
bowl put equal parts of Maraschino, Cu
racao, Benedictine, yellow Chartreuse,
with the kind of wine desired, perhaps a
mixture of two kinds, and some appollina
ries water are poured and mixed with pow
dered sugar, a little cucumber rind, some
sliced orange and pineapple and a few
sprigs of mint. It should always be serv
ed in a tall, cut-glass pitcher.
Claret punch is delicious made with a
Pint of claret, half as much sherry and a
wineglassful of Marschino, the peel of a
lemon, one-quarter of a pound of pulver
ized sugar and a sprig of borage. This
should stand for an hour, then be strain
ed through a sieve. Add a piece of ice
and a bottle of seltzer.
Those who have conscientious scruples
in regard to the use of wine or spirits will
find that a good punch may bo made by
adding lemon and berries to strong Rus
sian tea, straining when cold, and adding
ice and seltzer or appollinaris Just before
serving.
WATER StiPPbV OF CITIES.
Still Another Element of Greatness
In Which New York Is In the I.ead.
From the New York Sun.
The consumption of water in London, a
seaport, averages 17a,000,000 gallons a day.
The consumption of water in Paris, the
shipping interests of which are insigni
ficant, is 100,000,000 gallons a day. The
water supply of New York, second in
population but first In this particular ele
ment of approved municipal progress, is
now 290,000,000 a day, and when the water
system of the enlarged city is more de
veloped it will exceed 300,000,000. The aver
age dally water supply of Baltimore is
70,000,000 gallons; Boston, 00,000,000; St.
Louis, 55,000,000; San Francisco, 25,000,000,
and New Orleans, 18,000,000.
It is popularly supposed that the de
mand for water regulates the supply, but
recent figures indicate rather the reverse of
this. In Chicago, of well-known inferi
ority among large American cities In the
extent and quality of its water supply,
•40 gallons of water a day for each in
habitant is what municipal authorities
have estimated should be sufficient, yet
it requires 173 gallons for each individual
a day, and to check this the Water De
partment of the Windy City is about to
introduce motors, having Just given an or
der for 300,000 of them, to cost $8,000,000.
Ry way of comparison it is noted that
the daily water consumption of the smoky
city of Pittsburg is 250 gallons for each
person, while in European cities the con
sumption per capita is only from 25 to 40
gallons, 25 gallons being the average in
Hamburg, Dublin, and Liverpool, and 40
gallons in Berlin, Manchester, and Edin
burge.
There is relatively much less waste of
water in European than in American
cities. So long as the supply of water in
a city is abundant, in excess of the legiti
mate demand for it and, therefore, not
subject to a deterrent tax, it Is, usually,
to some extent, wasted; that is, it Is-per
mitted to overflow and is used for orna
mental purposes in fountains, street
hydrants and exhibitions. Then, usually,
there is a change made by the establish
ment of meters and a graded tax such
as the one from which New York city in
a year gets for its treasury $5,000,000.
There are now in New York more than
50,000 water meters and since the intro
duction of Croton water into New York
in 1842, the gross receipts from water taxes
have been more than $100,000,000. How
much water would be used but for the
existing regulations, and the taxes im
posed In support of them, is not easily
stated, but it might approximate the daily
consumption of water in ancient Rome,
the aqueducts of which were famous, and
which used, it is said, 330,000,000 gallons
a day.
The requirements of water for business
purposes in a large city are varied and
extensive. Water is needed for ships, for
ocean and coastwise steamers, steamboats,
for boilers, for building operations, for
baths, for street sprinkling in summer
time, for parks, and for the extinguish
ment of fires. The New York Fire De
partment used last year 50,000,000 gallons
of water, of which 35,000,000 gallons was
Croton water. The enlargement of the
city and the consolidation of Brooklyn
with it will bring up the total amount
consumed this year for fire purposes to
probably 75,000,000 or nearly 20,000 gallons
a day. Enormous quantities of water are
used for boilers in New York—for boilers
for machinery, for railroad lecomotives,
for elevators, in gas works, in breweries,
in mineral water factories. In dye works,
and in stables. The last item of demand,
however, has been much reduced in re
cent years by the partial abomlonment of
animal traction on the street cars, by the
popularity of bicycles as a means of tran
sit, and by the general discarding of horse
troughs in the streets. A great city uses
water in proportion to the amount sup
plied, and New York city uses water more
liberally than any other of the great cities
of the world because it has plenty and is
increasing its facilities for getting more
all the time. It is said to be a historical
fact (though it is not everywhere acquiesc
ed in) that no city without a large water
supply ever "grew very large, and no city
with an abundant water supply ever fail
ed to attain commercial distinction.
Munich Is a city In which recently the im
provement of the water supply has dimin
ished the dealh rate greatly.

Capt. Tunnel of the schooner Charles M.
Patterson tells of an incident which came
under his observation some time ago. An
American vessel was at a port in the
West Indies. Capt. Smith, her master,
was taken sick with that dreaded disease,
yellow fever, and died one night. The
mate of the vessel, a Dutchman named
Plans Zargen, was in a terrible stew and
did not know what to do. Early the next
morning, however,, ho rushed ashore and
sent the following cablegram to the ves
sel's owners in New York:
“I died last night. Capt. John Smit."
The tug Dewitt Q. Ivins sailed for New
York yesterday, towing Standard Oil
barge No. 78, which she brought here load
ed with oil a few days ago, and the Stan
dard Oil barge No. 77, which was brought
here and left two weeks ago by the steam
er Maverick.
The Savannah Lighterage and Transfer
Company's tug Regis was launched yes
terday from Willink’s marine railway,
where she had her bottom scraped and
painted. The Regis has been thoroughly
overhauled and put in first-class condition.
She entered commission as soon as she
came from the railway.
The sloop S. L. Harford was launched
from Wiillnk’s marine railway yesterday.
She has been put in readiness to enter
the rice trade, which will begin in a few
weeks.
The schooner C. A. Raynor, which had
been on Jones’ marine railway, overhaul
ing, came off yesterday, and is now ready
to enter the rice trade along the coast.
The tug Robert Turner was hauled on
Willink’s marine railway yesterday to
have repairs done to her propeller.
The steamer Vigilant, formerly of Sa
vannah, but now doing an excursion busi
ness around New York, was in collision
with the Liberty Island ferryboat Bay
Ridge, off the Battery Tuesday morning.
The Bay Ridge was struck amidships on
the port side, and had bulwarks stove in
and Joiner work damaged.
The steamer Alpha will leave for Beau
fort this morning on the regular schedule
of the Clifton. The latter steamer will re
main here to-day to be inspected.
Capt. Jarvl3 of the schooner Margaret
A. May, who dislocated one of his shoul
der blades, by a fall from the side of his
vessel a few days ago, was able to leave
the hospital yesterday.
Heretofore every big American cruiser
and battleship has been completed without
the sheathed bottom process being adopt
ed, ulthough the chief constructor of the
navy has urged that it be used upon every
ship authorized in the navy. This process
provides a wooden framing over the steel
hull, covering all submerged parts, over
which copper plates aro fastened. The
special bureau board has concluded to
adopt this process on the new vessels, as
well as monitors, and the result will be
to give cleaner vessels, insure greater reg
ularity of speed and save the government
thousands of dollars annually in the cost
of docking and cleaning ships.
Beginning July 31, in latitude 49 10, longi
tude 44 50, and ending Aug. 1, in latitude
48 28, longitude 48 29, twelve Icebergs were
seen from th>e steamer Montgomery. The
bergs were from thirty feet to 300 feet
above the surface of the sea.
Aug. 4, In latitude 46 34, longitude 47 30,
a very large Iceberg was seen from the
North German Lloyd steamer Munchen, in
port yesterday from Bremen. Ending' in
latitude 4617, longitude 47 26, two other
bergs were sighted. While passing the
bergs Capt. Grosch experimented with the
ship's whistle to ascertain if there would
be a reverberation from the icy walls, but
there was none perceptible.
A “ship" surgical operation Is to be per
formed on the Red D Line steamship
Caracas. The vessel was sent to Cramps'
a few days ago for examination prelimi
nary to repairing her. The result of the
examination was that the vessel is to be
cut in two and lengthened forty feet, mak
ing her 323.6 feet long. She is a screw
steamship of 1,775 tons, 20 feet beam, with
a 30-foot depth of hold. She was built in
Wilmington in ISS9. Boulton, Bliss & Dal
lett are the owners. The "lengthening"
process has been accomplished many timer,
recently, several large ocean steamships
having undergone the operation.
