Lively Time on the Wharf.

A lively fight among negro draymen
took place on the wharf about 10 O'Clock
this morning and at one time assumed
the proportions Of a riot The City OF
Mobile had discharged several thousand
sacks of cotton seed for one Of the oil
mills Of the city and the negro draymen
of Selma entered into lively competi-
ton to haul this seed to the top OF the
bluff and put 1t In the cars. so that II
could be delivered by rail to Its destina-
ton. a.
ALI Banks and Scott Brown were the
two principal actors in the AFFAIR. Both
claimed the right to haul the cotton seed.
Banks was the aggressor. 1t seems. Banks
Is a tall, sineweyy negro and has the rep
utation among the draymen of being
bad man. Brown Is a much larger man,
with a stocky frame and short arms.
Banks pushed the fight from the mo-
ment he went to the wharf and Brown,
anxious to avoid trouble, retreated several
times around his dray. Finally Banks
overlook him and one of the hveliest
fights ever witnessed in Selma was pulled
off Eight or ten negro drayrnen took
part in 1t, and nearly every one OF them
took Banks's part against Brown, who,
seeing that he was in the minority. fought
like a tiger. Ten or fifteen negroes were
piled up on Brown and the yelling and
cursing attracted a large crowd OF spec
tators on to the bridge. who looked down
on the melee, expecting every moment
to see some of the combatants laid out
dead.
After the fight had proceeded while
Constable Smoke appeared on the scene
and put tho principals under arrest. A
doctor had to be summoned to attend to
Banks's injuries. His left eye had q knot
on it as big as a goose egg and he claim
ed that Brown had given 1t to him with
a pair Of brass knucks. Brown denies
this.
Banks pulled heavy iron pin out OF
draw and proceeded to knock Brown down
with it twice, landing one blow over the
left eve and the other in the mouth
Browns little boy was not idle during
this time, but pulled his trusty barlow
and stuck it In Alf's leg several times
from the rear. Second Mate Tom Mober-
ly of the City OF Mobile. thinking some
body was about to be killed, rushed down
| the gang-plank and tried to queil the riot.
He picked up the little negro
boy and slammed him down
on the ground several times.
| HE then sailed into the pile OF negroes
lying on the ground and commenced to
kick and pull them apart. and but for
his vigorous language and kicks ana
cuffs there might be several dead negroes

what's In nm Egg

The newly laid egg is entirely filed
with yolk and white enveloped by u
fragile shell. 1t is at this moment that
it possesses its highest alimentary quail
tiles. These 1t would be capable of pre-
serving indefinitely If the tightness Of
the shell eQualed that of n metallic box.
But unfortunately such is not the case.
The calcareous shell is provided with
pores. through which Is soon establish
ed cross circulation of water and mi
crobes. The water leaves the albumen
and passes to the exterior in the form
of vapor, while legions of bacteria en-
ter and fill the air chamber formed by
evaporation.
Evaporation causes the egg daily to
lose on an average half Il grain Of its
weight. We can assure ourselves of
this by lmmersing 1t in quart Of water
containing four ounces of salt. On the
first day 1t will descend to the bottom.
on the second 1t will not sink to SO
great n depth. on the third 1t will re-
main near the surface and beginning
with the fifth it will project above the
surface SO much the more In proportion
as 1t is older.
