Col. Charlton H. Way, one ff the best
known citizens of Savannah, died at
his home at Beaulieu at 4 o’clock yes
| terday afternoon. Stomach trouble was
{ the immediate cause of his death.
For some lime Col. Way’s friends have
\ noticed that his accustomed Rood health
seemed to have left him. and that h*
f reeroed to be rapidly failing. His con
j ditlon, however, was not thought at all
; serious, and when he became worse and
took to his bed, two days ago, Mrs. \\ ay
* ciia not even feel it necessary to call in
* the services of a physician.
Yesterday afternoon she noticed that bo
Stas growing: weaker and apparently was
guttering more than had previously been
, the case and n note was dispatched to the
city for Dr. W. H. Elliott about 3 o’clock,
j Hr. Elliott went out to Beaulieu on the
next car, reaching the house Just about
4. As he went up the steps of Col.
j Way's home, Mrs. Way, who had been
f nt the bedside of her husband, left him
aqd came out on the veranda to meet Dr.
* Elliott. When she left the bedside Col.
‘ t \Vgy was breathing quietly, and though
1 by this time It was seen that his condi
tion was critical, it was not expected that
his dissolution was so nearly at hand.
She returned with Dr. Elliott to the sick
room. In the interim death had come
quietly, and Col. Way had breathed bis
last. It was evident that he had passed
away without a struggle.
The arrangements for the funeral had
itiot been completed up to a late hour
last night, but it was then understood
. that It would take place this afternoon.
* Whether ic will be from the residence at
(Beaulieu or whether the body will first
l>e brought into the city and the service*
’ be conducted at one of the city churches
- lies not yet been determined.
! Col. Way was about 65 years old and a
life-long resident of Savannah, of which
| Lis father was also a citizen. He was
•ne of a large family, but his brothers
end sister;* have all left Savannah or are
dead. No one of them lives here to-day.

paintings, most of which was destroyed in
the fire which consumed his residence at
Beaulieu several years ago.
Col. Way was one of the most brilliant

vannah. With a mind naturally brilliant
and assiduously cultivated, stored with
strange bits of Information, amusing anec
dotes and personal reminiscences, gather
ed In every quarter of the globe, he was a

TO EXTEND ITS RETORTS.
Weather Bnrenti Will Take In the
Pacific Coast From Nnw on.
A recent act of the department of agri
culture which went into effect yesterday
is the extension of the weather bureau
service to include reports from practically
every part of the country. Hitherto the
reports received here and at other stations
in the Eastern and Southern states have
embraced reports of the weather condi
tions only in those states east of the
Rocky mountains, Dodge City, Kan., be
ing the furthest station west from which
reports wore included in the statements
of the weather furnish and in this part of
the country. The reason that the reports
from stations wfst of the Rocky moun
tains and from the Pacific coast were not
included before is that meteorological
changes which occur in that part of the
country are rarely if ever felt as far west
and south as to make it of any practical
value to record them.
Now, however, the department has de
cided on the unltiotion of the service to
include reports from all parts of the coun
try. The stations that will be added ore
those at Spokane, Portland, 0., Winne
mucea, Nev., San Francisco, Los Angeles,
El Paso. Cedar City, Utah, and Miles City,
Mont. There will be added also two sta
tions In the extreme northeast, Portland.
Me., and Oswego, N. Y.
The. appropriation for the erection of
new signal towers at Brunswick, Port
Royal, and Tybee became available on
July 1, and Observer Boyer expects to
leave for Brunswick within the next few
days to superintend the erection of the
tower at that point. Later be will go to
Tybee- and then to Port Royal.
COMPARED WITH OTHER JUNES.
I.n*f Month Wa* an ( annually Mild
One.
While the last few days of June were
excessively hot compared with the re
mainder of the month, the m an temper
ature for the rron h as a whole was low
er by two degrees than the same month
in ’9B and ’99, and 4 lower than in ’97. The
highest point reached during the month
just gone was 91 degrees, which was at
tained on The last day, and on on’y five
days did the thermometer reach as high
as Ifc) degrees.
This, in comparison with last June, is
really exceptional as on fifteen days dur
ing that month the mercury exceeded £0
degrees: on one day. the 15th, reaching
99 degrees, while on the hottest day dur
ing last month the thermometer reach
only 94.
Though lacking In heat, it made up in
the rainfall which was 6.31 inches and
lacked but .3 of an inch of being the nor
mal for the month. Compered with June
99 it was an exceptionally wet month, as
during that month only 1.07 inches of water
fell.
What the past month lacked in heat
will from appearances be made up during
the present month, as the maximum yes
terday was 94 degrees, equal to the high
est point reached during June, and 14 de
grees warmer than it was on the first
of July 99. The rainfall yesterday was .26
of an inch. •
The state forecast for to-day is for fair
weather, warmer in the northern portion.
Showers may be expected to-morrow with
light south winds.
SIFFERED NO LOSS.
Ocean Steamship Wharves Not In
volved In the Hoboken Fire.
The Ocean Steamship Company's prop
erty at Hoboken was not damaged In the
tremendous sweep of flame which destroy
ed the ships and wharves of the North
German Lloyd Company Saturday after
noon and night. The Savannah line was
very fortunate in this respect as its Ho
boken wharves are situated only about
a quarter of a mile above those of the
North German Lloyd The lire was below
Castle Point, while the Ocean Steamship
Company’s wharves are above this point.
President Egan received a telegram
yesterday from Superintendent Le Fevre
at New York, stating that there was no
damage to the company's property. The
toial loss sustained by the fire, the super
intendent stated, is uncertain, while the
loss of life could only be estimated. The
Ocean Steamship Company had some
lighters in the vicinity of the fire, which
were saved by its tug along with four
other lighters belonging to other com
panies.

SUPPOSED TO BE INCENDIARY.
Snsplrlnu* Fire In a West Hr on.l
Street nuteher Shop Lost Night.
The firemen were called out last night
a second time by an alarm from box 35.
The blaze was in a small butcher shop
at Stewart and West Broad streets kept
by a man named Henderson, and was
quickly extinguished by the chemical en
gine from No. 4 station. The peculiar fea
ture übout the firs was that It
was discovered in a lot of
trash in one corner of the shop and in
close proximity to a kerosene tank. On
account of this suspicious circumstance
the cause of fire was put down as incen
diary. The kerosene tank was said to
have been rolled out by a citizen before
the firemen arrived, and that the citizen
had hts hands badly burned In doing so,
but Information on this score was rather
indefinite.

THE PEACH CROP IN DANGER.
BLACK ROT IS THREATENING THE
DESTRUCTION OF THE FRUIT.

Mfroyeil Already the Earlier Varie
ties of tlie Pencil—Elbert n* anil

Maj. G. M. Rynls Carrying llnnd*
From Savannah to Gather Hi*
< rop.
The peach crop of Georgia is facing a
new danger now, one (hat has already
materially decreased it and that M’s fair
to do damage even greater than it has
accomplished. The recent heavy rains
have been followed by the advent in the
orchards cf the dreaded scourge known
as the ’ b ack rot.”
The ’’black rot” is a variety of fungus,
that forms on the skin of the fruit and
rapidly destroys it. When it is once in
troduced into an orchard it spreads from
tree to tree with a rapidity almost incon
ceivable and the hapless fruit grower,
who one day has b en estimating his ship
ments by the car load, finds out the next
that there will te carriers of peaches in
stead.
A hot and moist condition of the atmos
phere seems to be favorably to the pro
duction end spread of the fungus and in
several of the peach sections of the state
it has practically destroyed all of the
earlier varieties of peaches, that had not
been shipped before the heavy rains be
gan. This is especially true in the section
surrounding Griffin, where the Experi
mental Farm is located, end where the
peach industry has been steadily increas
ing in extent and importance during the
past few years.
A grower from that section, who was
in Savannah e day or two ago, told a story
illustrative of the conditions there. One
of his neighbors was engaged in loading
a car with peaches, and as at nightfall the
car had not been filled with the terriers,
the completion of the work was deferred
until the following day. With the dawn
the grower went to inspect his car and
found that during the night the black rot
had got in its work and that the peaches
were beginning to assume the appearance
of the pulpy mass he knew’ they would
become long ere they had reached their
destination.
Prom the car the grower returned to his
packing house to find that the same con
dition of things obtained there. The
peaches were rotting. In the orchards,
on the trees, the fruit also was beginning
to succumb to the ravages of the pest.
Not only are the earlier varieties de
stroyed, but the growers fear that the El
bertas will suffer the same fate, if the
weather does not undergo a material
change and the heavy rains cease to fall.
From a condition of high expectation and
confidence in the success of the crop, a
large proportion of the growers of the
state have fallen into despondency and
say that the outlook is very gloomy in
deed.
The Griffin and Macon sections seem to
have suffered more thorn the pest than the
other fruit belts of hhe state. There is a
preparation in use among the growers,
with which the trees are sprayed, which,
it is said, will prevent the root from at
tacking them. Where this has been used
plentifully and carefully there is a no-,
ticeable absence of the rot, though trees
just across the road may be attacked by
it and the fruit be destroyed. The prep
aration is a compound of lime, sulphate
of copper and water.
Maj. G. M. Ryals left yesterday for his
orchards at Ty Ty, taking with him about
twemy-five hands, who will assist in
picking and packing the peaches. Maj.
Ryals carried a smaller number of ne
groes a few days since and will probably
increase his force when the shipment of
the principal crop, the Elbertas, begins.
These peaches are expected to be suffi
ciently ripe to ship in large quantities
about the end of the present week or the
first of next week.
The peaches now being shipped from
most of the orchards are of the Lady In
gold. Lone Star and Amelia varieties,
which come in just ahead of the Elbertas.
These peaches are of considerably better
quality than the earlier varieties, though
they do not compare in appearance or
taste with the queen of the Georgia orch
ards.
The prophesies of the Weather Bureau
do not authorize any very strongly held
hope that the weather will be permanent
ly fair, though, it is promised, the rain
will skip Gecjrgia to-day. The success
of the crop depends almost entirely upon
a cessation of the rains and an era of
dry, sunshiny weather. Should such a
change fail to come it will mean a loss
of possibly hundreds of thousands of dol
lars to Ihe Georgia growers.
WEEK IN SUPERIOR COl RT.
Jefferson Street Paving Case As
signed for Thursday.
This week In the Superior Court will be
devoted to the hearing of civil cases, the
consideration of criminal business having
been postponed until the last week of the
month. The civil cases have been ac
cumulating recently and there are n
number of them, of which Judge Falli
gant Is anxious to dispose.
The principal interest of the general
public in the cases to be heard during
the week revolves around the trial of the
Jefferson street paving cases, which have
been assigned for Thursday. The prop
erty owners on Jefferson street are seek
ing to resist the payment of the city's as
sessments against them for paving the
street, on the ground that the Belgian
block pavement is altogether unsatisfac
tory, and is an actual disadvantage to
householders, rather than a benefit.
The property owners' position is
strengthened by a number of arguments,
primarily that the noise produced by ihe
traffic that is forced through the street
by the fact that it is the only paved
street west of Whitaker, running north
and south, is a constant source of annoy
ance, preventing any but the most hard
ened enjoying the repose that ought to
follow a conscience at rest.
There are a number of other cases to
be tried during the week, but none of
them, other than the paving case, is of
any particular public interest or import
ance. Court will sit each day until Satur
day and Judge Falligant himself will not
find rest from Jiis labors even on the
Fourth. On lhat day there will be no jury
In attendance, but the Judge will hear
arguments In some eases that can re eive
attention In chambers.

Mrs. V. S. Studer. aged 65 years, died

Cemetery.
MISSIONARY HUDSON SAFE.
Tiding* Received of the Axson Me
morial School in China.
Among the announcements at the Inde
pendent Presbyterian Church yesterday
morning the pastor. Rev. Dr. Fair, stated
that recent tidings confirmed the safety of
Rev. W. H. Hudson, the missionary in
China who is supported by the Ladies’
Society of the Independent Church. Many
of the members have been very anxious
about Mr. Hudson end his family since
the troubles in China began. He is sta
tioned at Hashing and has charge of the
Axson Memorial School for boys, which
is carried on in connection with a very
flourishing medical and dispensary work
for the treatment of disease among the
natives.
The subject of Dr. Fair’s sermon was
the Apostolic Benediction, the text being
2 Cor., 13-14, “The Grace of the Lord Jesus
Christ and the Love of God and the Com
munion of the Holy Ghost Be With You
All.” He said the Hebrew form of bless
ing was mercy to you,*the Greek, grace to
you, the Roman, peace to you. The
Apostle took these national forms of salu
tation and wove them into this benedic
tion. to show’ that God’s attitude to ail
nations and individuals is one of blessing
and good will and kindly greeting. When
Jacob left his father’s home to go out into
the world, the patriarch laid his hand upon
the head of his child and blessed him.
“So, when we leave our Father’s House
of worship to go out into the battle ot
life,” said Dr. Fair. “His blessing is pro
nounced upon us, to remind us of His love
and willingness to help during the dangers
anti trials of the coming week.”
Dr. Fair said the custom of firing three
volleys over a soldier’s grave is supposed
to be derived from an ancient custom
when a Christian warrior died. If his
body was buried in a cemetery near a
church, the bell was tolled three times in
the name of the Father and of the Son and
the Holy Ghost. If he was buried on the
field of battle, a bugle or dTum was sound
ed three times above his grave. They
seemed to feel the Christian warrior
would sleep sweetly and undisturbed, and
holy angels would keep w’atch by his
sepulchre, if it was censecrated by the
name of the sacred Trinity.
“So may we fight the good fight of
faith,” said Dr. Fair, “and rise at last to
the victor’s crown by the grace of our
Lord Jesus Christ, the love of God and the
communion of the Holy Ghost.”
At night Dr. Fair preached upon the
text: “Where Hast Thou Gleaned To
day?” The main idea of the sermon was
the importance of doing little things. It
was the office of a gleaner to follow the
reapers, to gather up the grains they drop
ped, to reap the hidden places they over
looked. and the secluded corners where
they could not thrust in the scythe. So in
every community there are people who are
inaccessible to the church and little child
ren whose spiritual wellfare is neglected.
Let it be the Christian’s daily work to
bring them under the influence of Christ.”
WAS ACCIDENTALLY KILLED.
Snd Death of h South Carolina Lady
Well Known Here.
The death of Mrs. J. V. Morrison, which
occurred at her home at Esttll, S. C,
last week, under distressing circum
stances, was a grief and shock to her
friends and relatives here. Mrs. Morri
son was sitting on the porch of her home
with her stepson. Mr. Henry Morrison,
formerly of Savannah, sitting on a step
below her.
Seeing a pistol in Mr. Morrison's hip
pocket. she reached down to get it, prob
ably desiring to examine it. The pistol
protruded from the pocket with the barrel
upward. In drawing it from her stepson's
pocket It is supposed that the hammer
caught In his clothing and that this caus
ed the discharge of ihe weapon. The ball
passed through Mrs. Morrison's throat,
coming out in the back, below the should
er. She survived only a few minutes.
The deceased was well known in Savan
nah, being the mother of Mrs. Thomas
Purse and Mrs. George Wright and the
stepmother of Dr. A. A. Morrison and
Mr. T. W. Morrison, all of this city. She
was the wife of Mr. J. V. Morrison of
Estill and the daughter of Col. John Law
ton of Lawtonville, S. C., a prominent
planter of that section. The funeral took
place Thursday, the interment being at
the family burying ground at Lawtonville.
GOOD CROWDS AT TYBEE.
Rain Did Not Keep Them Away, but
It Sent Them Bnek.
The heavy rains yesterday decreased the
crowds somewhat at the suburban resorts,
and incidentally made life much pleasant
er in the city. There was a large crowd at
Tybee, however, a considerable percentage
being excursionists from the interior. The
Island was favored with a very heavy
thunderstorm about 2 o'clock, the rain
pouring down in such torrents that some
of the residents likened it to a cloudburst.
As the rain continued through the after
noon a large proportion of the crowd came
up on the early trains. Last night the
street cars were very heavily patronized,
both on the city and the suburban lines.

The Democratic National Convention
meets at Kansas City this week, and all
eyes will be centered there for a time
at least. That is, unless the Boxers do
something terrible in China, or the Boers
gain a victory over Lord Roberts in South
Africa.
Like the Republican Convention at
Philadelphia, the head of the ticket is
positively known beforehand, and the tail
of the ticket, is still in the woods. Un
like the Republican Convention, however,
the interest does not center chiefly In
the vice presidential candidate. There is
no Rough Rider candidate to mate with
Bryan, and the only question which will
confront the convention in this matter
is whether a favorite of the East or the
West shall be chosen, whether the candi
date shall be a rank free silverite from
the West of the Mississippi or a “bimet
allist, ” who regards the money question
as practically settled, from the east of
that stream and north of the Ohio. The
South is not considered in this calcula

The question is an im.ortant one, but,

portant. Thousands of good Democrats
who voted for McKinley and Hobart last
time, or for Palmer and Buckner, or who
did not vote at a 1, are anxiously waiting
to see whether they will be given a plat
form on which -hey stand while at the
same time maintaining thdr mental and
political equilibrium. It is a time when
the platform is of mere importance than
the man.
The Repub'ican platform was cut and
dried beforehand, as everybody knows. In
fact, it seems to have been a li tie toe dry
for many ardent Republicans and they
are hav ng considerable difficulty in swal
lowing it. The Kansas City Convention
will not make its own platform any more
than the Philadelphia Convention made
its platform, but whereas three or four
men seem to have made the Republican
p’atform, while one pu,t the linishing
touches to it, at least a score, and prob
ably two score, will have something to
say in making the one at Kansas City.
The leaders of the North, the South and
the West will put their heads together,
and there will be some very deep cogita
tion before a platform is offered for the
consideration of the convention. Then it
is more than likely that a few people cn
the floor of the convention will have
something to say about the platform, and
it may have to be returned for amende
ment. It will not be a cut-and-dried affair
anyway.
It is remarkable what a change in senti
ment has occurred locally since the
echoes of the Republican Convention died
away. When the convention first conclud
ed Its work everybody seemed to regard
the result as a foregone conclusion. Dem
ocrats readily acknowledged that the
ticket was a strong one, that the unani
mity and harmony was remarkable and
that all this pointed to undoubted success.
It was freely said that McKinley and
Roosevelt would get 1,000 votes in Savan
nah and bets of two and three to one on
the national result were freely offered,
with no lakers.
Now that it is realized that the enthus
iasm of the Philadelphia convention was
manufactured and the newspaper rnen
who were there are telling the people that
there was less real enthusiasm than they
ever knew' at a national convention, and
the Republican leaders are charging each
other with doctoring the platform the
Democrats are beginning to realize that
things are not always what they' seem.
There is a general feeling current that
with a good man named to run with
Bryan (Hill or some other Eastern man)
and the money question handled in a con
servative manner the Democrats have a
good show to win.
"Savannah is a comemreial tow’n and
pretty much on the same order of com
mercial towns elsewhere," said a business
man yesterday. “The hundreds of good
business men who voted the McKinley
ticket four years ago are not disposed to
do so again, and there is a general inclin
ation to stay in the party ranks, if they
are not forcibly pushed out. While there
was a general feeling the other day that
19M would be merely a repetition of 1896
this feeling has changed and there is now
not only a hope that Bryan may win, but
a belief that he will win, provided the
platform is not extreme. Business men
generally regard the money question as
settled for years to come and they see
no reason why the convention should give
special attention to a subject which is no
longer a live topic. If Mr. Bryan and
his friends will be reasonable in this mat
ter they may see success perch upon their
banners. There are thousands of business
men in the North, especially in New York
City, Democrats In principle, who view
the matter just as we do. They are willing
to vote for a Democratic candidate on al
most any platform except a silver plat
form. Anti-imperialism and anti-trusts,
with the mismanagement of the Republi
cans in Porto Rico, Cuba and the Philip
pines, furnish ample subjects for the party
platform. Like sliver a very little of the
Chicago platform will go a long ways now
and the Democratic leaders would do well
to bear this in mind.”
There are no doubt hundreds of business
men in Savannah and elsewhere through
out the country who take Just the same
view of the matter and who are willing
to help the Bryan campaign along with
their money and their votes, If given half
a showing.
