INFECTED CORPsEs BURNED. - The
Board of Health of New York recently
received notice from the New York.
Lake Erie and Western Railroad Com.
pany stating that on December 22d the
bodies of George and Frederick Gun.
ninghan, who died from smallpox, were
exhumed from the town of new lots.
Brooklyn, by Undertaken Ferdinand
Brown, and after being placed in ordi.
nary wooden cofflns were taken through
New York city, and shipped on the Erie
Road to Wellsburg, Chemung county.
The collins leaked in the case, so that
the danger of the disease spreading was
imminent, and such excitement pre-
vailed on their arrival at Wellsburg that
the company had to run the contamina-
ted car to Elmlra, when it was switched
off into the fair grounds and disinfected.
The bodies of the two men were burned.

He was nervous while she was on the
stand, and felt great relief when she left
it. Behind the slight, girlish figure stood
her dark-faced husband, with his hand
on his hip pocket. 1t may have been
that he had no intention Of using the
weapon upon which he kept his hand,
although he intimated before he entered
the court room that he would stand no

THE NICARAGUA CANAL SCHEME
Who are interested In IL and what
They Intend 20 Do.

Washington Correspondence Boston Post
Another business affair is interested In
Mr.. Blaine's diplomatic correspondence, al
though there is no more evidence that Mr..
Blaine is connected with the Nicaragua
Canal Company than there was of his con-
nection with the Peruvian company. It is q
fact, nevertheless, that projected corpora
ton, of which, strangely enough, ex-Presi-
dent Grant is a charter member, is deeply
concerned in the proposed modification OF
the Clayton-Bulwer treaty. Little more than
a year ago Engineer Menocal, of the United
States navy, obtained a concession from the
Nicaraguan Government by which certain
citizens of the United States were given the
privilege of building. an interoceanic ship
canal over Menocal's and Ammen's sur
Veyed route. Last year and this year bills
were introduced in Congress Incorporating
the Nicaragua Canal Company 1t will be
necessary, the projectors of the enterprise
think, to secure the abrogation or modifica-
tion of the treaty In question as a condition
precedent to the guarantee by this govern
ment Of the per cent. dividend on the cost
of the canal sought for In the charter. A
number of prominent public men are inter:
ested In the proposed canal. Besides Gen.
Grant, there are his friends General Beal,
Congressman Crapo, of Massachusetts, Ad-
miral Ammen, Commissioner Loring, ex-
4llstIlcb NpLuHlselOuer n6lpS anu congress
man kasson, who will take care of the
canals interests In the House. ALI of these
men are enthusiastic believers In the feast
billty and importance of the subject. So
far as can be learned Mr.. Blaine has no In.
terest whatever in the affair. It is the in
tention of the projectors to make vigorous
effort to secure the passage of the charter
recently introduced in the Senate by Sena-
tor Miller, of California. The incorporators
say that they are assured of the necessary
capital as soon as the charter shall become
law, and they further say that the govern
ment will never be called upon for q dollar
under the guarantee. They are convinced
Of the impracticability OF the scheme, both
OF the De Lesseps and Captain Eads. Re-
Gently, however, General Grant, who, last
springs published an article In the North
american ReUie1e in favor of the project, has
been inclined to withdraw from It and to
lend a friendly aid to Captain Eads. He
has, however, not yet formally withdrawn,
and 1t is the hope Of the projectors of the
canal that he will continue to be associated
with them.

of the Road by the Central Justi-

Let IL be Made with SGricE Regard

Savannah morning news. [volume] (Savannah) 1868-1887, 1881-12-30

Editor Morning NeaOs 1t so happens that
l could only give hasty glance at the
interesting communication of "Division" in
your paper OF Wednesday until late hour
last night The general views of the writer
] do not propose to discuss, as Imay or may
not accept many OF them on mature rehec-
ton. Where the right exists the stock
holder is at liberty to decide on the policy
of exercising 1t, but II In the plenitude of
newly acquired power there is disposition
to deride and set aside the well considered
acts Of those who exercised control in years
gone by, some word of honest protest
should be spoken.
Referring to the action of the Central
Railroad Directors In June last "DIvIsion"
speaks thus: "By Withholding dividends
and declaring delayed ones in lump, from
the unfortunate wording of the lease of the
Southwestern Railroad Company, the stock
holders OF that corporation enjoyed an ad-
vantage in that division of exceeding twenty
per cent. as against the shareholders of the
Central. The italics are in the original }
"Unfortunate wording 70 Unless the writer
adopts the theory that words were made to
conceal our ideas, then the sole question is
did the words used convey the Intentions
of those who used themt Did they de-
clare and announce the contract as it
was actually made by the contracting
partie Where is the witness connected
with those transactions who will say the
word do not utter aud perpetuate the con-
tractf II there is one, let him stand up and
testify. II they do so express the intention
then there was no unfortunate wording"
ex eept for those who find it impossible,
after the lapse of more than twelve years, so
to construe these words as to enable them
to perpetrate a conspicuous wrong. There
is always unfortunate wording' when the
law, whether it be of the Legislature or of
the contract, is foun1 to be 10 strong for
him who seeks to evade its provisions or es-
cape from its clutches
