WILL RETIRE CAPT. MONEY.
Clubs Recent Decision.

Carteret Gun Clubs Recent Decision.
The Carteret Gun Club of New York
has adopted a new regulation that seems
to have some bearing on the recent diff
oultv between Mr.. George S. McAlpin,
formerly of Savannah, and Capt. A. w.
Money. president of the E. c. Powder
COMPANY. The regulation shuts Capt.
Money out of the club matches. II pro-
vides that,
"Any member of the Carteret Gun Club
who completes with a professional shall
be asked to resign from this organiza-
ton"
The decision as to what constitutes a
professional is this:
ANY one employed by a gun or She.
making concern or sporting goods indus
try, or one who has ever accepted a gun
or guns or shells from any manufacturer
or dealer is a professional"
The reason for this step by the club Is
said to be that the professionals have been
winning all the big prizes, while the ANA
teurs have become tired of contributing
toward the payment of the shooting eE-
penses of the cracks. The rules will go
into effect on Jan. 10. Some of the club $
best guns are excluded. Capt A. w.
Money and his son, lHaro.d, who are in
the powder business, will come under the
ban, as will Louis Duryea. Daniel l..
Bradley, Robert A. Weach and others, who
have shot matches with professionals.

EMPTiED THEIR REVOL VERS.
Cicero Watson and West ScheIey
Made Targets of Each Other.

Cicero Watson and West ScheIey
Made Targets of Each other.
Cicero Watson and West Scheley ,colored,
emptied their revolvers at each other at
1 o'clock this morning on Jones and West
Broad streets. Schley received bullet
in one leg and Watson escaped uninjured.
Both men were arrested and sent to the
police station house by Patrolman Cow
ert, whose attention was attracted by the
shooting. Scheley's wound proved to be
only a flesh one. and it was bandaged up
by Police Surgeon Osborne, who was sum-
moned by telephone.
Scheley had been fourishing his pistol
for several hours before the shooting, and
appeared determined to get into a fight
with some one. Watson claims that Schel-
ey fired the first shot and that he returned
the fire in self defense. He declares that
the attack made upon him was without
the slightest .provocation, and is borne
out in this statement by at least one wit
ness.
Both men are charged with assault
with intent to murder by shooting at
each other, and will be given~q preliminary
examination by Judge Harthdge at this
mornings session of Police Court. The
shooting caused great deal of excite
ment in F'rogtown. and awakened the
residents of that section OF the city.

REVIEW BY PRESIDENT.
Is Holding Up Prize Money in the
AduIa Case.

Adula Case.
In the United States District Court yes
terday morning, Mr.. w. G. Charlton, rep
resenting the White Star Towing Com
pany in the various matters of litigation
connected with the prize steamship Adula,
asked permission of the court to with
draw his motion for a summary judgment
on the bond filed by the owners of that
Inflated vessel.
The White Star Towing Company has
a claim for salvage against the Adula,
arising from the successful efforts made
by some of its tugs to prevent the de-
struction of the prize by fire, while she
was lying in the harbor of New York.
Judge Speer has decided, and the Su-
preme Court had affirmed his decision,
that the Adula was lawful prize of war
and that the officers and crew or the
United States Steamship Marblehead, by
which vessel she was captured during the
Standardization war, are entitled to the
prize money. There are also number OF
Savannahians, who have claims against
the vessel for services and supplies. Mr.,
Charlton said Yesterday that he had come
Il, the conclusion that his clients were
fully protected in the matter, ana that
he would not press the motion. his inter
est, under this state of facts has Oh
course vanished.
District Attorney Erwin stated yester-
day that the matter is now pending De
fore tha President, and that the Attorney
General had instructed him not to press
the case before the court, pending the
Presidents decision. Col. Garrard, VINO
represents the owners of the Adula, con-
tends that in such cases there Is a right
to appeal from the decision of the Su-
Drenne Court to the President, sitting, as
a judicial officer, who passes upon the
cases finally.
The matter seems to be very consider
ably involved and Judge Speer said that
there was nothing that the court could
do to untangle it. He expressed regret
that. meantime, the merchants OF Sa-
vannah and others who gave credit to
the Adula on the faith of the court
should have been so long deprived OF the
money to which they are entitled.

WORE SKIRT WOVEN IN 1863.

Claxton Press: Mrs Dan Mcleod of
Manassas, whose maiden name was Dan
iel, wore to the carnival on Thursday,
dress skirt which was spun and woven by
herself in 1868, during the Civil War. She
also had a piece of dress goods woven by
herself and sister during the war. These
pieces of goods show what our Southern
women could do In war times when The
markets were closed against them and
they had TO depend on their own resources
and skill for clothing for themselves and
families. She and her sister were young
girls when they spun and wove the goods,
and they could hear the boom of the can
non on the coast while weaving.
