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.

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. PERSONAL MENTION. Mr. T. E.

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!" ‘ Tlio lesson that morning, the Usedier . is foned to etpiain, tall Into stony ground. - --LUiatlar IN SESSION. ; The Clerks and Sheriffs Meet To-Day. r The Dp' ll i os Have Possession of the (My- The Convention Called to Order at 11 O'clock By President Carr. b The clerks of the superior court and sheriffs are in convention here to-day.

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 Kichardfton the Fire Fa ter. 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.
