Iu the shoot for the badge Messrs. Berryman and Thiot tied. They will shoot off tl i tie on next Friday After the shoot, other matches were arranged, which carried the sport well into the afternoon. We would like to give all the scores, but the pressure noted elsewhere compels us to cut it short. The members had a most delightful fourth. They Win Again. The game of hall between the drays and the Defiant:.- clubs yesterday on Ht. Simon's Island, resulted in another vic victory - tory victory for the dreys, by a score of 31 to 8. The drays are a set of fino boil players, who seem to understand each other as a professional team would. The drays are oonfident there is nothing in Brunswick and its surroundings that can give them a game of ball. The next club the Grays will cross bats with, will be Albany.

At 11 o'clock, the hour set for the trial, fully 300 people had assembled to wit witness - ness witness the proceedings. Hon. T. W. Norwood conducted tlio examination. The man, Bill, is about five feet toll inches, of slender build and wears long black hair, falling over his shoulders, and wears a bttck beard of medium length. The likeness of this mau and the picture of our Lord is very striking. This man is very mock and quiet, except when agitated by numer numerous - ous numerous questions as to his mission on earth. His dress is very shabby, which consists of an old felt hat, with faded coiit and rusty-pair of pants. He wears a pair of dujht canvass shoes, and carries in one hahda Staff and in the other a copy of the scriptures. The examination was by no menus an easy task, but Col. Norwood handled it nicely. The man insisted .that he was Christ, and that he was em empowered - powered empowered from on high His earthly name he gave as Christopher Coluijlms Jack Orth Dupont Bell. He represents himself as being 30 years lod; he claims to have lauded upon the earth at the time of tho great earthquake iu August, 188'!. His coming causod the shock he said. He bus been ill Georgia one year and five months. Ho claims to come evety : 1 ,IXK) years, and this is his second com ing. The first time he appeared on the earth he came in the person [of King James of England. Being asked if he believed in the re resurrection, - surrection, resurrection, ho replied: "Yes, because I am the resurrection." On being asked to perform somo miracle, he refused, saying that he would not do so to "atis/y idle curiosity, but said that any v ,e wjho would come to hear him teach would See him lierform miracles. The scene iu the court room was an extraordinary one. The strange nature, of Bell's claims, his earnestness, his re remarkable - markable remarkable familiarity with the Scriptures, the absorbed interest of the orOwd in the court room, the large multitude outside, most of whom hail forsaken house and home to follow their leader to trial.

The examination showed' beyond doubt that the'man was crazy. Ever and an do a hymn would lie suug by the negroes in the grovo, and the ex excitement - citement excitement pervading the ignorant creat creatures - ures creatures was intense. Though the jury found the man insane, on account of the great number of fol followers - lowers followers of Bell it was thought best not to make the arrest at this time. It is difficult to tell bow this allair will end in Liberty, for Bell's followers are many, and most of them have sold their cattle and chickens and abandoned their homes and orops to follow this man. The turpentine farms in some sections are without labor. The ordinary will issue the order for the arrest of Bell at once. Bell is of course a hopeless lunatic, having gone crazy, during some period of religious excitement. For Sale.

T. 3. Taltt. A Difference in Words Our friend, the compositor, made us say yesterday monging in the report of council proceedings, that Alderman Atkinson took "strange" grounds against the suggestion of Alderman Oilman in reference to allowing naval stores to be handled in the heart of the city. The context showed that it should have been "strong" grounds, which Is decidedly a distinction and a difference in favor of Alderman Atkinson. Notice.

.Several small excursion parties were organized in the city, and enjoyed the day in a variety o{ ways, picnicking in the woods, driving, boating, fishing and the iike. In the afternoon the town wore a de deaerted - aerted deaerted appearance. Many of the stores clwsed up, stn'-clerks and employers en enjoyed - joyed enjoyed excursion privilege* together. The majority went to St. Simon s Island to enjoy the shooting contests and baseball games in progress there, and .the terpsi cborean pleasures at night. The balance of the Riflemen went to the Island after dinner, accompanied by Lieutenant-Morris, who could not go in the morning. It was a jolly good day, taken all in all, and was universally (p joyed. It was a go-as-you-please all the way through, and if nobody enjoyed themselves it was their own fault. The Light Horse Guard. It was intended by the Light Horn- Guards to have a dress parade, a tilt and of the company's colors. This was set for 1 o'clock on the .green near the residence of Col. C. P. Good year. The programme was broken up by the rain, which fell in showers in the morn iug, and about dinner time settlod into a steady drizzle, which continued until 5 o'clock. The Guards assembled at their armory at 3 o'clock determined to go through with their programme if the weather would permit. This, it did not seem in chned to do, and much to the disap pointment of all the members, the exer exercise - cise- exercise tluft had been arranged, were abandoned. Several of the members determined however, not to be entirely outdone, and drove out to the tilting grounds, and amused themselves chopping off the wooden heads for sometime. And they did it with a vengeance. *The presentation of the colors will probably take place next week. The ex exact - act exact time has not been decided.

Patriotic Notes. What a pity it ruined! The city was in holiday attire. No services were Ijeld in the churches yesterday. The number of accidents yesterday was unusually small. The Firemen's Contest did not oomo off yesterday morning. The small hoy was on hand with a bountiful supply of fire crackers. A number pf rockets were sent up last night in front of the Ocean Hotel. Young people and old folks engaged in the festivities of yesterday with equal spirit. The Pope Catlin was kept busy all day. It looked liko encampment times returned. Outside of Fourth of July news, pointers were as scarce as chicken teeth. Everything was "the Fourth." The Western Union Telegraph Com Company - pany Company celebrated the day by closing. Only Sunday hours wero observed. There was no drunkenness noticeable. Everybody kept sober and hud a good tune The police were given a rest. One vessel in the harbor displayed the flag of nearly every nation. Her ropes were literally covered with thorn, making a very picturesque showing as they flut fluttered - tered fluttered in the breeze. It was expected that the Riflemen would gjve au exhibition on the Island, and Lieutenant Morris was prepared to nut the boys through, but the inclem inclemency - ency inclemency of the weather prevented it. An unusual number of drummers were in town and tried to get some orders, but It was bard work. The merchants were glad of an excuse to throw them off. The knights of the grip made the most of it, however, by joining the excursion, and giving business a holiday.

He had overheard part of the story, and asked to hear the ballanee, as he be believed - lieved believed he could throw some light on the subject, Pretty soon lie laughed out outright - right outright and said: 'Why, sir, the trouble is with your girl and not the necklace. She has too much sulphur, iron, mer mercury, - cury, mercury, salt or acid in her blood, and as any of these substances has an affinity for gold, the explanation is clear.
