POLICEMEN ON TRIAL.

General Smith. president Of the Board of Police
Commissioners, sat in the trial room ut Headquar-
ters yesterday and waded through long calendar Of

Twenty-third precinct, charged with inefi-
cient service. Since the LIST of January sixty burg
laries have occurred in the precinct. large
amount Of property stolen, yet only one arrest
was made and $l8 worth Of stolen property recov-
cred.
officers Cornish and Wilson, special duty men Of
the Twenty eighth precinct, called upon to
swer similar charges. There have been sixty-three
burglaries and robberies in the precinct since the
LIST of January. involving loss of 81. 600 worth
Of property. Eleven arrests were made and small
amount OF the stolen property recovered The only
defence offered by the accused officers was that they
had done their best and they called their captains to
testify in their favor.
When patrolman Tully's case was called his coun-
sci spoke for him and asked permission to tender his
resignation. General Smith declined to accept it.
The case was, however, adjourned. Tully was pres
ent in the custody OF Deputy Sheriff Meehan. who
has had charge OF him since his conviction for the
assault on Roundsman Orr.
The only other case of interest was that OF Door
man Brown, who il charged with having taken
fifty cents apiece from number of prisoners

On the night in question the station house cells
filled with saloon Keepers arrested for alleged
violations of the Excise law. 1t was u hot night,

BOYTON'S PROJECTS.

After trip of nearly six weeks in the West Cap
tam Paul Boyton has returned to this city Yestcr
day a HERALD reporter visited him and INDUCED in

since his great Mississippi voyage aud III growing
quite stout.
Regarding his tour Boyton said that after leaving
the water ut New Orleans he went to Cincinnati,
where he daily visited the high bluffs which over
look Porkopols and in the fresh air and with good
medical treatment he rapidly recovered from the
effects of the terrible strain which his system had
undergone.
A pERILous UNDERTAKING.
On tho journey back Boyton stopped for short
time to enjoy the beauties OF niagara Falls. IL
never saw anything so grand in its way, said no;
s'but was watching IL with eye to Its practical
bity, and am of the opinion that 1t Is not mpos-
sible to go the falls safely. Perhaps ut some
future time may attempt the feat. There In one
bugbcar intend to overcome, and thai In the much
feared Whirlpool Rapids. have been offered large
sum to attempt to pass them, and will certainly
accept the offer. 1t Will only take about six min.

prove that the currents at the foot OF the falls are

Captains position in the expedition will be that or

Captain will take charge and direct the boat. Pro-

COMMITTED FOR BRUTALITY.


After lying in st. vncents Hospital for two weeks,
at time believed by the physicians beyond re-
covery. but afterward borne through q short con-
valcscence by his robust constitution, John Fitz-
gerald appeared in the jefferson Market Police Court
yesterday to give his account of the bloody fray
he figured in. The marks of the clubbing lie
had received at the hands OF Officers Moore
wavle and others of their associates wore
not quite obliteratcd and more eloqucntly Illus
tratcd his story than his version of it,
AT first he and Lawrence Donovan we're called up to
answer u charge of assault upon Michael Murphy,
whom, IL alleged, they had knocked down the
night of June 25. on the corner of Houston aud Hud
son Streets and had brutally beaten. Both men
claimed that they much sinned against
SHINING and protested that they themselves had been
said that their assault OF too vio-
lent a character to be justified by any
ordinary provocation and he put them under
$500 bail to appear for trial. Then ho called
up the complaint OF Officer Moore against Fitzgerald
and Donovan for assault, and placed the policeman
on the stand. lie testified that he attached to
the Ninth precinct, and post on Hudson

AN EXPERTS VIEW.

In press and pulpit, the killing of Col
Aston is still matter Of discussion. The
editor of the New Orleans Democrat adds
to. the number of intelligent commentators
by presenting to his leaders aud to the peo-
pie Of the State few reflections suggested
by this tragedy, and by the startling events
that have occurred in the Crescent City
since the 22d of February. After careful
ly and fairly detailing the incidents leading
to the tragedy, up to the point of Aston S
friends advising that he arm himself against
his persistent assailant, our Louisiana con-
temporary says: at was proper course
to advise, but we suggest that they should
have gone further-that they should have
advised the st of the person who had
made the murderous threats against the
life and person of Col. Aston. If that
course had been pursued Col. Aston in all
probability would be alive to day aud the
State of Georgia would not mourn the loss
of one Of her bravest and most gallant sons
In England or in Franco, when man
threatens the life of another, and particu-
larly with 4 weapon drawn and directed
against the person of his victim, his arrest
Immediately follows, and he is deprived by
the strong arm of the law Of any opportu-
nifty to put his threats into execution. Iu
those countries it is not considered to be an
evidence Of Il want Of personal courage to
cause the arrest of one who thcatcns your
life, nor is it in fact. In civilized COM
munity one cannot he always armed to pro-
tect himself. The laws should be capable
Of protecting him and he should appeal to
them for protection. A jury should con
slider charge of an assault with danger
Gus weapon with intent to commit murder
as a charge almost as grave as charge of
murder, and should feel as little hesitation
in rendering 4 verdict of guilty in the Que
case as in the other. When public sent-
mcnt has reached this point there will be
some other protection to life than the pistol,
and homicidcs will be less frequent"
There is much truth in this, and the fail
urc to arrest Cox when he sailed forth
about town breathing threats of murder
and being armed for its accomplishment, is
one of the strange features OF the case
The authorities of Atlanta would hardly
have let a lion or tiger remain loose upon
their streets, and yet they permitted man,
temporarily much more dangerous than
either lion or tiger, to have full swing 1t
would have been blessing for Cox as well
as Aston had some courageous man acted
with becoming promptncss. But there was
no such man apparently upon the scene of
action, and so the bloody deed was DONE

BANANNAs.-Few people who sec ban
annas hanging in the shops Of fruit dealers
think of them as more than tropical lux
ury. The fact is, they are a staple article
of food in some parte Of the world and,
according to Humboldt an acre Of bananas
will produce as much food for man as
twenty-five acres Of wheat. 1t is the ease
with which bananas are grown that is the
great obstacle to civilization in some tropi-
cal countries. 1t is SO easy to obtain a Gv-
ing without work that no effort will ever
be made, and the men become lazy aud
shiftless. All that is needed is to stick n
sucker into the ground, aud it will at once
sprout and grow, and ripen its fruit in twelve
or thirteen months without further care,
each plant having from seventy. five to one
hundred and twenty-five bananas and when
that dies down after truiting, new suckers
spring up to take its place. In regions
where no foot ever reaches, bananas arc
found in all stages Of growth, ripcning their
fruit every day and every month in the
year.
