Beautiful Fleet In the Roads.

BY actual count of an old tar yester-
day one hundred and six schooners
and other sailing craft-little and big
were observed riding at anchor in
Hampton Roads. The winds were high
and the seas rough outside the Capes
and up the bay, hence it was discretion
to await 81 subsistence of the clements
before proceeding. The vessels had
been coming into harbor one or two at
a time for several days. They pre-
scented beautiful spectacle with their
tall masts and white sails scattered
here and there over the bosom of the
smooth and quiet harbor.
Later in the afternoon yesterday the
conditions were declared favorable, and
one by one the weather bound fleet
began to disappear up the bay before
prOpitious southeast wind.

MRS. JEFFREYS MORGAN ACCT
IDENTIFY WOUNDED BY A
STRAY SHOT.

About dusk last night shot was fred
from a bugeye, lying off Freemason
street by some unknown person, the
bullet ricochetting along the water and
striking Mrs. Morgan, daughter of Mrs
James Y. Leigh, who was walking on
the shore at the foot OF Butte street. in
the right arm at the elbow.
Drs. Shepherd and Grandy were call
ed and rendered temporary relief to
Mrs. Morgan. The bullet was later ex-
tracted by DIR. Leigh.
A white man named John r. Wise,
captain of the bugeye, was arrested
charged with the shooting. He will
have a hearing this morning. Mrs.
Morgan, although painfully injured,
was reported as doing we'll last night.
Later at night. about 10 o'clock ChaS.
Mister of Accomac, captain of another
small vessel lying off Freemason street.
came to the police station to acknowl-
edge that he fired the shot which
wounded Mrs. Morgan. He had bought
new pistol and was trying 1t. He
heard a scream, but had no idea that
he had done any injury till he heard
OF the arrest of Wise. He gave bail
of s25 each for himself and his friend.
The case will be called in court to- day.
Detective Childress and Sergeant
Mayo did quite clever work in finding
the man who fired the pistol at nearly
dark among about forty boats lying
Off the point at Freemason street. They
did not get the man who shot Mrs.
Morgan. but they did arrest one man
who fired a revolver, and his arrest led
to the confession of Mister.
