SHOT IL A SALOON.
o. A. weidDer Sends Bullet Through
Edward Burke's Body.

Edward Burke's Body.
O. Weldner, a grocer and saloonkeeper
at Liberty and Hsbersham streets, shot
Edward Burke (coloredl at 1890 o'clock last
night. it is thought fatally. The ball,
which was from 32-caliber revolver, en-
! tered the upper part Of the abdomen on the
left side and passed through, lodging just
under the skin in his back. After Burke
was shot he walked tn his home, in
Perry lane, east of Price street. DR..
Owens was called in and prescribed
whisky and opiates. At 1890 o'clock this
morning Dr. Lincoln was called and made
an examination of the wound Burke was
in great pain and an anRsthetic was pre-
scribed. Preparations were being made TO
take the ante-mortem statement of the
wounded man when a MORNING NEWS re-
porter left the house.
Burke's statement to the reporter was to
the effect that he went to Weidner's bar
earlier in the evening and got half pint of
whisky on credit. After that had been dis
posed of Burke and two companions went
back, and he engaged in playing poker dice
y 18th Weidner for p cents per game. In
settlement for drinks Burkes companion,
one Lawton, owed Is cents, and Burke put
up 80 cents TO take the pay out
VIM. Bitter, Weidner's barkeeper, a young
man of Is. took the change for the half pint
of whlsky-25 cents out OF the half dollar.
and Burke demurred and demanded his
money back. An angry colloquy took
place, in which Wedner ordered Burke out,
and he refused 10 20 without his Is cents
was returned. Weidner then went upstairs
and returned with revolver, and again
ordered Burke out, but Burke refused togo,
and Weidner then began to shoot, the third
shot only striking Burke. After the first
shot Buckle struck Weidner in the face with
a stick
Weidner was seen in his cell in the bar
racks, the same cell occupied BY Smith the
night of the shooting on West Broad street.
Weiiner says that his clerk, Bitter, very
properly took out the rs cents in change for
the whisky that Burke got earlier in the
night, and that thereupon Burke got very
abusive, and used very foul language t.
the scandal of Weidner's family, who were
i'll hearing, and then he ordered Burke out.
Burke refused TO go, and then Weidner
went after his pistol and on his return
again ordered Burke to leave. Burke still
refused to 90. and then, Weidner says,
Burke struck him in the face with heavy
stick. 81 then fired In the air to scare him,
when he struck me again in the face, laying
my cheek open, and then | aimed at him
and fired" Weidner said that Burke started
to follow him, and suddenly halted and
said: You're done for me-" Wei iner's
shirt and cravat were bloody from the
Negroes blow, which made an ugly cash in
his face.
One of the negroes who was present at
the shooting said that four shots we're
fired, and the revolver. which is a five
shooter, had only one cartridge when taken
from the prisoner. He was arrested by
Mounted Policeman r. E, Davis

The Best Time to Buy Valuables

This is the dull season Of the year. This
information is not exclusive or from inspi-
ration. Trade is pretty we'll as far as it
goes-but it doesn't go far. The purchasing
power of dollar now is something surpris-
ing, simply because there are more dollars
than trade. IL word, we are now inclined
to give very large dollars worth for 100
cents just to keep things moving. Within
the past few months we have added to our
stock III various ways, new ideas, new con-
ceits. lew tricks aud quips in jewelry, and
so on. We've got to keep up, you know,
with the strides of inventive and artistic
excellence. Our stock is worth looking
| over, and, as intimated, we aOtU sell uery
close to move some of it. This is q good
time to renew household articles Solid
Silver tabls ware. superb plated ware,
ornamental goods For personal use or
adornment we offer a line par excellence Ct
Ladies' fne Gold, Silver and Diamond
Jewelry, Ladies' Watches, Chairs and
Charms, Gents Watches ana Jewelry. etc.
All of these articles can be bought cheaper
now than when trade gets brisker. Some
body will get married next fall-buy the
presents you intend to give not0. They
will keep, and you will save money.

9EORGIA'S FRUIT CROP.
The Peach Season About Over With
The Pear aud Grape Crop.

| The Peach Season About Over With
The Pear aud Grape Crop.
| 81 think the peach crop is over" said a
| fruit dealer yesterday.
I'VE are receiving daily from fifty to
sixty bushels Of peaches, bat the fruit is SO
poor that we ars unable to dispose OF a
great deal of 1t at any price. We have
! written our shippers to hold their inferior
| fruit, that we cannot handle it any
longer"
docs the season end generally this
earlyr'
"Oh, no. We handle peaches nearly
every year as late as September. We will
not do it this season, though. Some of
our shippers along the Central railroad
have written us that they will have fSw
more crates. We look for them the latter
part of next week. The peaches we sell
now are principally for preserving and
canning purposes. The price ranges from
so cents 30 81 per bushel."
Where is the fruit coming from now n
From points on the Control railroad be-
tween Savannah and Macon. Usually at
this time the market here is supplied by
growers around Savannah. They bring
their peaches into the city and dispose of
the fruit themselves and drive the shippers
out OF the market. There was compare
lively no fruit raised around Savannah this
season, though, and the shippers have had
the field to themselves While there has
been some very fine fruit on the market
here this season, there has beeu an abund-
ance of poor fruit-so much that the con-
sumers are getting tired of it and refuse to
take it at very low prices Most of the
early fruit was fine and sold readily at good
prices"
The peach crop in Middle and Southwest
Georgia was not large one. Not as large,
in fact, as the crop raised in the eastern por-
tion Of the state, where truck farming is in
its infancy. The crops around Marshall
were little more than failure, and there
was less shipping in that section this season
than for several seasons past. The plum
crop was very good, and a great many
found thsir way to northern markets.
The grape crop was success in that
section, and any quantity of grapes are
going north. Dr. Ben Jordan of Monroe
county and Mr.. Antony of Bibb county are
probably the largest grape growers in the
state, and in addition to shipping largely,
they make yearly several thousand gallons
OF wine, which finds ready market over
the state and in the north.
The season has been favorable also to
pears. the Sand pear, which is raised in
Middle and Southwest Georgia. is rarely, if
ever, found in the Savannah market. The
growers ali send this fruit north where big
prices are paid for that variety. In the
eastern portion of the state the Le Conte
pear predo,ninates, and the Savannah mar
ket is supplied with that variety Of fruit
The price for lie Conte pears ranges from
81 40 to 81 30 per bushel. The dealers here
receive large consignments daily, and have
no trouble disposing of them

The gentleman was nonplussed. The
minister got up and went to his room and
the ladies moved to another portion Of the
