THE FATAL SHOT.
A. w Roberts and Fritz Carle Engage in a Difficulty and Roberts Is Shot
 Through the Head.

A. w. Roberts was shot and killed by Fritz Carle about 6 o'clock last evening in the Diamond saloon, on Twentieth street and Avenue D. The bullet struck Roberts in the head, causing almost in- stant death. The deceased was about 40 years of age, and leaves wife and child. He had been twice married. He was driver for the Avondale laundry and lived at Avondale.
 The Diamond saloon is owned by Fritz-Carle's father-and is attended by Fritz. The trouble, it is said. grew cut of the purchase of a glass of beer. Rob. erts became angry when Fritz called his attention to the fact that he had not paid for the beer and hot words passed. Roberts drew his knife and made at Fritz, who knocked him down. Roberts left the store and tried to borrow a pis- tol from a policeman He succeeded in some way in securing a pistol and re- turned to the saloon and fired two shots at Fritz, one of the shots making a scalp wound of an inch or more.

If the game goes well the home team will challenge some other team ana play for the benefit of the United Chari- ties. Carriages will enter at the eastern gate and will have stations on the south side of the field back of the boxes. A number of boxes have already been taken. Ropes will be placed around the field of play and no one allowed to inter- fere with the view of the spectators.
 The home team will do good work. The young men had good practice yesterday and took dinner at the Florence hotel last night. The Alabama teams colors is red and it is hoped the ladies will wear the colors today Several of the merchants have decorated their show windows with the colors.
 The Yale team will arrive at o'clock this morning and will be quartered at the Florence hotel. Cross, the Yale centre, IS on his bridal tour, having recently mar ried very pretty young lady.

Jones' full back, Meade. Substitutes, Donelson Ferguson, Hughes, L. Brown. Of the above list Laird has played for two years as left end on Se- vance team; Glore is the famous guard of the Centre college eleven; Averill is a member of the Nashville Athletic club eleven, and weighs 1S4 pounds; Taylor Is a Yale graduate and weighs 196, being the heaviest man on the team; Moseley is right tackle on ogden college team; Milan played strong game in the Nash ville game with Yale; Johnston was a member of the '95 Princeton team.
 Following is the Yale yell:
 Breke- Ike hex Coax, Coax, breke-he- hex, coax, coax; O-op! O-op. Paraba- lou. Yale. This famous yell is from the frog chorus in the comedy of Aristo- phanes, "The Frogs"
 The regular Yale yell is the nine rahs, with Yale" at the close
 The Alabama team reserves it's yell to spring on an unsuspecting public today.

citemcnt at Bow street police court at
3:ll 2. m. when 4 number Of Dr. 1aun-
sons friends arrived. This was looked
upon rs showing that the loug-cxpccIcd
invader Of the Transvaal would soon
follow them.
among those present at that time
were the Duke of Abercorn, Niscount

Inside and outside Bow street police
court, in anticipation Of the arrival Of
DT. Jameson, the principal subject dis
CusScd was the charge upon which he
would he arraigncd. Lawyers h3vo
claimed that he can b" charged with
piracy on the ground that the acts ne
and his followers committed are similar
tO the acts committed by pirates at sea,
and that sea pirates and land pirates evi-
dcTtly come under the same category
and should be punished under the same
provisions Of the law.
Then again it has been asserted that
DR.. jameson should be charged with
high treason on the ground that he was
caught hearing arms without the aU-
thority of his government in the terri
tory Of foreign powers. This view of
the case however. il Combattcd on the
ground that the South African repUhiir
is not a foreign power, as. according I"
the treaty Of 1854, il is practically under
the prGtectOrafc of Great Britain mas
much as It's foreign relations are subject
to the approval of the British crown.

DONE UNDER INTERPRETATION
The Omission of the Beaufort Route
appropriation.

The Omission of the Beaufort Route
Appropriation.
In reinserting in the river and harbor
bill the appropriation for the Savannah
harbor the Senate committee overlooked
the inside route to Beaufort, as provided
in the House bill. This 1t appears. was
stricken out under misapprehenslon, the
idea probably being that an effort was
being made to work some scheme on con-
greSs.
There is no scheme whatever in the
plan proposed" Capt o. NJ. Carter said
yesterday. There has always been an
inside route to Beaufort, and the plan
cOntemplates only restoring to those neo-
pie the privileges they have heretofore
enjoyed, The present route carries boats
across Catalogue sound, the inside route
having been closed up on account of the
present harbor works, and the idea now Is
70 open another one, and improve the
old route in some few places where in
mas shoaled. This would restore the ola
inside route and give back to the people
there the rights they have always en-
joyed."
1t is not known just why the Senate
committee should have stricken out this
provision. 1t has always been considered
one OF the most important works on tbc
South Atlantic. and a properly cared for
inside route along the South Carolina ana
Georgia coasts Will no doubt be one Of
future. o AiSar
