An Exciting Scene in Court.

ger.
A singularly dramatic incident oc,
cured Friday near midnight in the su.
perior court room at Waynesboro, dur.
ing the trial of the Rogers brothers fol
the killing of tho Synses-father and
son. The killing occurred ut McBean's
station in October last. Eminent coun-
sci had been engaged by the prosecution
and defense, for both parties were
prominent and wealthy. The evidence
closed and the speaking began Friday
morning, continuing oil daring the day.
When the court assembled after tea the
seats and the aisles within the bar were
crowded with ladies, while without o
dense throng Of men fillod up the audi
torium. 1t was before this assembly
that Mr.. Twiggs began his argument
at s o'clock. Twiggs is an eloquent
speaker, practiced in and noted for his
oratorical graees. In the course
of his three hours ad-
dress he at n time referred in the
most feeling mannerto Che courage and
devotion of woman. The hour, the oc-
%casion, the audience and tho dim light,
from which the rapt faces were bent
upon him, all combined TO form q sur
rounding well calculated to inspire the
orator to his greatest effort. He closed
his address upon the as follows:
cat the battle of Gettysburg Gen.
Pickett was ordered to begin the charge
which was to make him famous. AS he
went into the terrible battle, his young
bride on horseback followed him.
When the hail of death YVES beating
down men on all sides, and the piung-
ing shot and shell mingled their fierce
screams with the moans and cries of the
mangled. Picket suddenly found him
self in the presence of his wife. In an
agony of fear for her safety, he cried
out to her as she sat cool and collected
as a veteran, Go back! Go back!
For Gods sake go back to the rear!'
No replied the devoted woman, in
the hour of danger a wife's place is at
her husbands side.m
AT this moment through the court
room there rang one wild thrilling cry,
which nearly lifted the excited thropg
to its feet. 1t was the old rebel yell,
heard upon a hundred battle fields and
never to be forgotten. A deep silence
followed. All eyes We're turned toward
the outer circle. Then Judge Roney's
cold voice vas heard bidding the sher-
iff to arrest the offender. a man was
seen lodging through the crowd and
the judge continued: 1.-THE man whoi is
leaving is probably the one wanted"
mo, judge" exclaimed a voice slow
ly, II am theman." The speaker stood
in the aisle with folded arms, quietly
contemplating the bench.
II shall have to fine you $40, then,
for disturbing the court"
Every we'll, yourhonor, I will pay the
money!" said the man without moving,
but | meant nc disrespect, I was a
confederate soldier at Gettysburg and
Just could not help from hollering."
The ladies present sprang to their
feet, and in an instant the money
was made up and paid to the clerk.
The involuntary yell of the old soldier,
was an irresistible tribute to woman
hood. Had the fine been ten times as
large he would not have suffered.

"It vas too pad 1 hat to sharge you
feefty cent. [ shoost make two cent on
dot tozen of aigs," said an uptown gro
Ger who was selling eggs yesterday.
He told the truth. He paid IS cents
a dozen, wholesale, if he bought his
eggs the first of the week." said w. S.
Dixie, a commission merchant, when
asked if eggs had been selling at that
price. "The warm weather eatly in the
season started the hens, and eggs came
in so freely that the market was very
weak. A good many got frightened
and sold out. Then the weather came
around cold again, and stopped the sup
ply. The stock in hand here was not
large, OF course those who had held
their stocks made some money. In fact
eggs were so scarce the first Of the week
that L do not know how we would have
lived if we had not received n supply by
a couple of German steam
ers. The warm weather OF
to-day has reduced the price
to AZ cents wholesale, but it will be
cold tomorrow, and we will not sell
any lower for some time. LINED eggs
bring about 35 cents"
"How many eggs were brought in by
the German steamers?"
about l,400 cases of soy $4,000
dozen"
Are they limed?"
"Tes, but the German process is bet
ter than the American. Here q bushel
OF lime is Stacked with eight or nine pals
OF water; the water is drawn off, and
the eggs are packed in it. The
hme water closes the pores in tho
shell and excludes the ain, The eggs
will then keep two or three years. But
the white of the egg gets watery, and.
besides that, tAe liners do not pickle
the eggs until they are afraid
that they will spoil. Out Of l.
900 barrels of lined eggs received
here only 300 will be gilt edged. The
German process leaves the white in
such u natural condition that tile inn.
ported eggs are frequently sold here as
fresh ones by retailers. The only thing
to prevent it is the fact that these pre-.
served eggs cannot be boiled. They
crack open every time, of course. In
every other respect they are as good as
nlne-tenths of the fresh eggs sold"
How mnch duty do you pay on
