PENITENT CELEBRANT
STARTED OUT WITH A BOTTLE
 AND A PISTOL.
Wound Up the Holiday Minus Whis- key and Revolver and With Two Bullets in His
 Anatomy.

With a quart bottle of whiskey and a pearl handled revolver. Richard Phelan, | an intensely black negro. began a high pressure celebration of the Fourth of l July early yesterday morning. When the shades of night fell Phelan was in the county jail with Duliet
 wound in his leg and another in his
 hand and three warrants hanging over
 The scene of Phelan's strenuous cele- bration was north of the city near River
 side Park. Phelan imbibed a large DOT ton of the contents of the quart bottle
 walked through the outskirts of Vesuvius and almost turned the air about him blue with sulphurous language. He swore 50 loudly and fiuently that even drinkers, could not for stand 1t. Phelan announced that he was bad man from Bitter Creek and his day for celebrating had arrived. He invited
 and be sacrificed. In each instance his invitation was declined.
 The news that Phelan was on the ram
 page was brought to Constable E. W. Smith, and an appeal was made to him to go out and brave Phelan before Vesu- vus was wiped off the city map. The representative of the law came
 upon the celebrant near the Western tracks. A crowd of Vesuvians huddled in the rear. in fear and trembling watch ed the battle begin.
 Phelan drew his pearl handled pistol and the constable produced one that was not so ornate and took a quick shot at Phelan and plowed a bullet through the negro's leg.
 Phelan fourished his gaudy revolver as if he was watching for a good opening to send a bullet to the proper place.
 The constable pressed the trigger a second time, and the pistol flew out of
 Phelan's hand. The shot had effectively
 winged him.
 Phelan was one of the most penitent
 prisoners ever lodged In the county jail.
 The whiskey in him had died out and
 he plead for a doctor. declaring that he had been woundede unto death, The phy- sician found, however, that his tears were uncalled for. They pronounced his wounds slight.
 Phelan will be tried on the charge of
 disorderly conduct. resisting an officer
 and carrying a concealed pistol. If Phelan is out of his trouble when the Fourth of July comes again he will.
 he says, let the day pass without cele- hrati0n.

was thronged with a merry crowd of men, women and children. So fascinated and charmed were the bathers that nothing short of call to supper could induce them to leave the water.
 most delicious supper was served under a canopy on the beach, in full view of the beautiful Gulf and with the sound of the roar of the waves as they dashed in foam upon the white sands at our feet, we proceeded to do ample jus- tice to this supper which was composed of viands just suited to such an occasion and surroundings'

FISH CULTURE.
And Movement to Create Interest
 in the Industry.

AAA 'eAA0 4h&41tAys
 In no portion of the country Is there developing such an interest in fish cul- ture as in the South. The probable req son for this is the earlier development of this industry in other parts of the land. but 1t Is none the less encouraging Those who are interested in this direc- tfon should associate themselves with the American Fisheries Society, which holds its thirty-first annual meeting at Put-in- Bay, Ohio. August 5, and 2. The initia- ton fee is but one dollar, which em- braces the dues for one year, the annual dues being the same amount. This en- titles the member to the literature of the society, embracing the annual report about the size of the magazines, with ell of the papers and discussions, list of members and other matters pertaining to fish which is well worth the price of membership to those interested. Those wishing to become members and who re- side in the South can address Mir. J. J. Stranahan, superintendent of the Cold Spring Station of the United States Fish Commission, Bullochville, Ga, who Is a member of the executive committee and who will read 8 paper at the coming meeting on fish culture on the farm, in- closing NO0. when a receipt will be for- warded by the treasurer. This should receive prompt attention as the meeting is but little more than month ahead.

Iected from counties adjacent to Mont gomery, and no citizen of Montgomery county will be permitted to sit on the jury.
 The taiesmen have been summoned to appear in the court by 12 o'clock Mon- day, and it is expected that. the jury will be organized Monday afternoon or Tues day morning. The organization of the jury and the beginning of testimony in the case de- pends altogether on the time to be con- stunned by the lawyers in arguing pleas and demurrers
 Yesterday morning Judge Jones sent for the lawyers interested in the case and told them he desired they should agree upon the drawing of jury to try the case. Under the laws of the United States a judge can direct that a jury be drawn from any part of his district. and Judge Jones said he desired to arrange the matter in a way that would be en- tirely satisfactory to the counsel on both sides.
 After conference between the lawyers, 1t was agreed that names should be drawn from the jury box until the names of thirty men who lived outside of Mont gomery county but within fifty miles of the city. had been drawn.
 The court thereupon made an order accordingly, and the names of thirty talesmen were drawn from the box in open court and in the presence of the law yers by J. w. Dimmick. Clerk of the Court, and John A. Kirkpatrick, jury com missioner.
 So much had been said about fairness and local prejudice that considerable laughter was created in the court room when the jury commissioner announced that the name of the first talesman taken from the box was Thomas Watts Hub bard of Prattvllle. One of the lawyers for the defendants is Hon. Thomas Watts of Montgomery, and the opposing law yers enjoyed the coincident.
 Judge Jones instructed the clerk of the court and the United States Marshal that they were not under any circumstances to make public the names of the talesmen drawn from which the jury will be se- lected.
 An order was also made by the court directing the Marshal to summon the talesmen by deputies instead of waiting the slow process of summoning them by registered letter. The talesmen live in Autauga, Elmore. Lowndes and Pike counties and deputies will visit them in person and summons them to appear in Montgomery Monday.
 The court will convene at 10 o'clock this morning, when argument on the pleas filed Friday by the defendants will begin.

 We again glided swiftly out onto the broad bosom of the bay and even those who were tired from the hot and dusty trip adown and extreme heat of the city, forgot all their discomforts and as we drank in each fresh whin of the delicious salt breeze, song and laughter and jolly repartee took the place of indifference and ennui. -
 Our next stop was made at the navy yard. and here the timid ones went ashore, while the more fearless and curi- ous ones continued on board for the trip out onto the Gulf. and well repaid were we. for those who went consider 1t the most delightful part of the trip. Only one member of the party suffered from that most uncomfortable sensation. sea sickness.
 On our return to the navy yard we all landed and were shown around the yard and docks and all other points of inter est, after which we once more went aboard the boat and soon were back at the life saving station. Here a rush was made for bathing suits and soon the surf

Broadly speaking the stock is to en-
brace the fancier groceries and the
fine bottled goods. Whatever under
these heads ought to be found in a
high grade establishment of the kind,
it is the purpose of the Delmonico
Company to keep.
The gentlemen who compose the COM
pany-Mr. Leigh NJ. White. president
and manager, and Mr.. Adoiph Berg,
secretary and treasurer-need no intro
duction to the community. They have
lived in Savannah for years. and mum
Der their friends and acquaintance by
the scores and hundreds. Mr.. White
was for years with the $. w. Branch
Estate land later Company, and MIR.
Berg has been for years connected
with the house of Henry Soloman &
Son. Thus the gentlemen of taa Del
monico Company not only know their
city and it's people, but by long ex-
perience have acquired a thorough
knowledge of the merits of the articles
which they propose to handle. They

by the purchaser followed by prompt
delivery.
A feature of the store that will APP

POLICE HAD A HARD TIME.
Lost Sleep, Their Uniforms Torn, but
They Kept Their Feet.

AhCy AACpA
The police were tired set when they
filed back to headquarters at night.
Some of them had not closed their eyes
for over "a hours.
The men who were on duty all Of
Wednesday night left their precincts
yesterday morning only to march to
the polls and scramble amongst the
heelers. The coppers earned every cent
of their pay and were a tired lot when
they answered roll call last night, and
once more filed out of headquarters to
go on duty in the various precincts.
There were innumerable scrapes dur
ing the day, and while the police blot
ter shows that only Is arrests were
made around the polls, most of which
were for drunkenness, there were at
least a hundred fights. Because of
these frequent encounters there will be
many sore heads and black eyes to-
day, and any quantity of swearing off
until the next election.
The patrolmen who were kept on duty
at the Court House spent some of their
time sitting in chairs in Wright Square.
They did not, however, re-
main seated for any length
of time, and were kept almost
continuously busy. Not a few of them
had their uniforms torn, and helmets
sent high into the air during the live
lier scrapes. The men were marched
in squads to Levan's for breakfast, and
ate their dinner at Schwarz's s. There
were several sergeants on duty and
Supt ReillX spent the greater part of
the day at the polls.
A man named 1. Garter was among
those who were badly used up. 1t was
said by the Citizens Club heelers that
Carter had treated them shabbily. He
had been taken into one of the ward
clubs and had been promptly put to
work to assist in the paving of West
Broad street. According to the Citi-
zens' Club crowd Carter jumped to the
opposition Monday. Although a husky
chap he was badly punished for what
he had done, and after being sent to
the station house for fighting, and had
been bonded out he had to secure po-
lice protection before he could cast his
ballot.

up with a reasonable degree of regu-
larity, at intervals of five or ten min
utes The scraps did not resemble in
bitter intensity, however, those of the
morning and relatively little damage
was done. One adventurous and in
genious individual did pull out good
sized bunch of hair that belonged 10 a
man at the time held by the police,
and this was possibly the most sensa-
tional incident of this period of the
day.
AS the day waned the Union Club
leaders began to admit their defeat,
though they chung tenaciously to the
belief that they had succeeded in land
ing Carson. Some of them were of
opinion they had placed u man or two
on the executive committee, but the
majority of them were frank enough to
admit they mad been beaten allalong the
line. Many of them gave up the fight
in disgust and went to their homes. to
return to the polls no more.
The Citizens Club leaders and heel
ers were correspOndingly jubilant.
They felt assured of victory and their
victorious cries were to be heard on
every side. Even the most sanguine of
these, however did not anticipate the
size of the majority that in the case of
some of the candidates they received
During the morning, when the voting
was at its hight, Chairman Cunning
ham directed that the voters of the
factions should form two lines and that
the voting should be alternately from
these. AS he accompanied this drec-
ton with a warning it was reasonably
well observed. AS the voters thinned
out the regulation was abandoned.
