A ew trees in city were blown down, a large number of branches were hi on off, and signs* torn from their Ihsteningsj, hut this was all. in the surrounding country, where the windsl had a freer sweep trees were blown down, but no accidents have been reported. The truck crops are all right, a little windblown and bedraggled looking, one farmer report ed. but. on the whole reaiy henifitted by the rain that accompanied the winds. The warning signals which had been flying since the day before were kept in place all day yesterday and last night, in the afternoon they were changed from the northeast to south west, the progress of the storm hav ing brought about that cnange in the direction of the wind.

CANTALOUPES ON THE WAY. Heavy Shipments Will Begin in the Courste of the Next Few Days. The truck growers of this vicinity, will begin to ship cantaloupe* in the course of the next few days. The crop is a large one and the fruit of extraordinary good quality, so that the groerss should have no trouble in making a perfectly satisfactory re turn upon their investment Down in Southwest Georgia, where land is cheap and productve,, the crop of cantaloupes is ten times as large as it is in this county. Where a grower will have ten acres here, he will have a hundred acres down in the country, and if he is lucky he -Aanils to win, because of the reltive cboapeness of labor and other expen ses, more than ten times as much money. The variety of cantaloupe principal ly grown is the Rocky Ford, which has. assumed ‘every prominence in the couse of the past few years. The va riety originated in Colorado, whose dry air and easily controlled water supply were thought to be peculiarly adapted to the cultivation of fruit, it soon developed, however, that this Section of Georgia could produce as any part of the Union, and in the course of a year or two it had devel oped into a magnificent industry. Tuis year it is probable that hundreds of thousands of dollars’ worth of the fruit will lie shipped from this statu to orthern. eastern and western mar kets. The Brunswick Dal I team will leave tomorrow morning for Savannah, where they go to play two games with tne club of that city. Sam Tatnall. u well known colored man, died Sunday. RIOTS IN RHODY MILITARY CALLED OUT BUT IS UNABLE TO CONTROL THE SITUATION. Pawtucket, R. 1., June 16.—The presence of 700 armed men sent by Governor Kimball to restore order had little influence exeept in the central parts of the city today, where the sol diers formed an invincible guard, and this afternoon rioting broke out anew in the suburbs and spread to the neighboring city of Central Falls. The resumption of the electric service which had been abandoned since Thursday was the signal for demon strations at the points where neither soldiers nor police were stationed, and the character of the attacks grew worse until the traction company was forced to abandon the car service. The disorders extended over so great an area that the troops available were unable to handle the situation, and it as said that before usual car traffic can be resumed it will be neces sary to place the city; of Central Falls and parts! of Cumberland, Lincoln and Nortn Providence under military control. To do this an increase in the number of troops wll be necess ary. It was demonstrated that the cars could not lie operated in safety under tho present conditions. The tracks wore outstretched and cars were peitted with stones by; mobs not only in suburbs ol this city but in Central Falls. Missels struck many of the employes, some of whom were injured, and rolling stock was dam aged. About 3,000 people gathered around one ear in Central Falls and the atti tude wag so threatening that a ma chine gun was loaded and two com panies of marines were ordered to charge tlio crowd. Teh car proceed ed but the line later was abandoned. The marines then ntarcehd through the city and at another point tnema rliine gun was made ready for action wnon it became apparent that an out burst was imminent. Mayor Fales, of Central Falls, not havinrr roqueste.lt military protection trotn tne gover nor, asked that the troops he with drawn. and this was done after two hours of service.

Intetrest in rifle practice has been given an impetus among the members of tlie Brunswick companies by rea son of the fact that the state shoot is to tic neld at Macon next month, and every company is tto have a team represent it. On each team there will be five men, and these will probably be selected isi left entirely with the company commanders. Some hold that the less exprienced shots should be sent to the shoot, in order for them to gain practice, but tin’s ig not the general view. Moneyi prizes and trophies will be offered at the Macon shoot, as matches will be interspersed with the practice that will be given the attending sol diers. Most of the company command ers; have deeded that they want to send the best men in their commands, in order that they may stand a good, i,Ynance for some of the prizes. Much interest is being taken in the Marine band’s excursion to St. Simon tomorrow night, and a large crowd will no doubt take the trip.
