| A LUCKY RIB
Saved the Life of Superior Court
Clerk Beach.
The Result of Yesterday's Shooting
Affray--Mr. Beach Is Resting
Comfortably—Mr. Spears
Admitted to Bail.
The fever of excitement into which
the city was plunged yesterday even
ing by the sensational shooting of
the Clerk of the Superior Court
Beach by Mayor Spears had mate
rially abated this morning. This
was in a large measure due to the
fact that the bullet wound, although
in a dangerous locality, is in no wise
serious and the doctors expect Mr.
Beach to be out in a few days.
Luckily the bullet struck h rib and
was dcilected outward so that no
vital organ was reached.
A representative of The Post
found Mr. Beach quite comiortable
this morning. The wouuded man
was bouyant in spiiits and did not
complain of the bullet wound. His
righUeye is in a swollen and inflamed
condition from the explosion of
powder at the first shot.
The surface of the temple is highly
discolored, and the skin is badly
punctured with powder and badly
scorched. The inflammation is be
ing reil'.iccd by a liberal application
of wet cloths saturated with ice wa
ter.
With a due regard for Mr. Beach's
condition the Post man avoided any
thing like a professional interview.
Mr. Beach greeted the visitor cheer
fully and in reply to the question as
to whether he wished to make a
statement replied:
“I would like to correct the pub-]
lished statement that appeared this
morning with reference to my posi
tion just at the time of the shooting.
After I came out of the barber
shop and just before the shooting be
gan, Sheriff Berne had a strong grip
on both my wrists so that 1 was en
tirely powerless.”
After the shooting yesterday May
or Spears wt.s taken to the county
jail by Sheriff Berrie. He made
himself as comfortable as possible
for the pight after having his head
bandaged us the result of the en
ccunter. This morning he appeared
before Justice of the Peace James E.
Lambright and on the showing being
iftnde that Mr. Beach was in no im
mediate danger, gave bond for his
appearance before the superior court
in the sum of $2,000.
A Moonlight Excursion.
A delightful excursion was given
by Mr. William Anderson 1 st night
to St. Simon's in honor of Miss
Mansfield, one of Macon’s loveliest
daughters who is visiting friends in
this city.
A large party of young ladies and
gentlemen went down. Dancing was
kept up to a late hour when an ele
gant refast was served and the party
returned with merry hearts- and
sleepy eyes.
The New Fish Market.
The new fish market kept by Mr.
Keogh at the corner of Oglethorpe
and Monk streets is a success.
Here the ladies can get, at any
time, all kinds of fish, including fresh
water trout and perch. Mr. Keogh
will have them cleaned and delivered
at your door on short notice. Oys
ters will also be furnished on demand
at reasonable prices.

FISH TRADE BOOMING.
A Business That Is of Crowing Im
portance to This City.
Brunswick is rapidly becoming
an important fish market. This
takes in not only the demand for the
city's consumption but also the sup
plying of interior towns. Just now
the supply is coming in quite freely
and the fishermen are in their ele
ment.
The protracted elevation of the
temperature during September lias
put a quietus on the toothsome bi
valve and consequently the demand
for fish is active. Asa regulation art
icle of diet it is timely and seasona
ble. Who wants to waste time and
physical exertion ou steaks, chops,
etc. of questionable texture, when
the finest assortment of the tinny
tribe is daily on hand to select from.
A Post reporter took a look around
among the dealers, and fnind the
situation one that would delight thu
heart of Izaak Walton. The supply
comes from the waters in the imme
diate vicinity of the city, and from
the Florida coast. Just now the
mullet and sheephead are coming in
quite freely, with the old reliable
redsnapper as a variation. Mullet of
good size, in bunches of three and
five, bring twenty-five cents; small
mullet, in bunches of ten and twelve,
the same price. The former are fat
and in splendid condition. The
sheephead are also of good quality,
but not so plentiful. They fetch
from 6-1 2 to 7-1 2 cents per pound.
Seine flounders have already put
in an appearance. They are also in
good trim and will be eoraing in
more plentiful next week. The sup
ply of drum and croakers will also be
among the assortment to be found
within a few days in the ice-boxes of
I the local dealers.
Speaking about oysters, suggests
a subject dear "to all races, creeds
and conditions.
The prospects are splendid for
good ones and plenty of them as
soon as the weather properly adjusts
itself. So far. those received are
plump, fat and juicy. Altogether
there is no cause for complaint
among the local epicures on the fish
■ and oyster outlook.

Sowing on Stony Ground.
Once in a while you hear a Sunday
school story that is really good, even if
it is rather wicked. In a “suburban
village” is an Episcopal church, which
1 maintains a Sunday school, and one
of the classes therein is taught by a
laughter loving girl. There are ten lit
tle girls in her elans, nine of them of
not remote Irish ancestry and one little
negress.
The other Snnday Virgin Mary Par
dons —that's the little darky’s real
name; Virgin Mary is the full name of
half the negresses who are called Mary
—camo very late; tho other nine chil
dren were present, and looked up as
the lute coiner swept proudly up to her
aeot. Ignoring the teacher's salutation/
the little darky concentrated into two
words all the ill feeling that months of
contempt had wrought in bar, and toss
ing la-r head indifferently threw at he* I
elassiuates tin- single remark:
Paddies!" ‘

lllots to Anglers.
Fly fishing at night to those who are
not used to it is a peculiar and rather
uncanny experience. Tho rustling
water looks as black as ink, and even
when the sky is bright th§ shadows cast
by the trees and bushes make the
stream seem intensely dark, ft is better
to use only one fly and a short, stout
leader. Tho large trout feed entirely i
at night during the hot weather, and 1
after one gets used to tne strange sur
roundings it is very charming sport, I
for the small fish do not trouble the fly
then, and the big ones take hold sharp
and with a loud splash. Large bright
flies should be used as a rule, but,
strange to say, in Lake Colden, in the >
Adirondaeks, the black gnat is the most
killing fly.
As a rule striped bass are not caught
on any bait but the genuine article, i
They seem too shy and suspicious to
tempted by the various imitations.
But we have heard of several instances
lately where they liave taken the phan
tom and white bait minnows. Another
successful lure lately used is a gang '
tvnde of one treble book on gut with a
small revolving spoon above. A sand
worm is hooked on to this gang, and '
the bass, attracted by the glistening
spoon, rushes for the bait and is capt
□red. It should be trolled slowly in 1
shallow water, with eighty feet of line
and no sinker—a good sized swivel is
sufficient weight.—Forest and Nt ream

From the following account taken
from Evelyn’s Diary, where it appears
under date of “10 mo. Bth, 1672,” It
seems that fire eating freaks are not
modern innovations: “I took leave of ■
my Lady Sunderland, who was going I
to Paris to my lord, now ambassador
there. She made me stay to dinner at
Lelceeter house, and afterward sent
for Richardson, the famous tiro eater.
