New York Mail and Express: This time

comes to the defense of assassination as
a proper means of revenge by a man upon
the cestl oyer of his home. In three. If not
more. states we have now judicial
record this opinion. delivered by men upon
whom the people depend for the con
struction of the criminal laws: and in not
one o. these states does the criminal
law fail to declare assassination a capital
crime While the judges will find sub
stanti2l sentiment behind them, and are
entitled. as individuals, TO hold 10 what
ever creed they please in the regulation
of society. it is plain that they violate
their official oath and encourage con-
tempt for the majority Of the law when
they undertake to advocate murder from
the bench. The consistent thing for them
to do is 10 resign.

It never seems just right to speak of
the Klondike as an el dorado. Every
idea associated with an eli dorado
pictures it as a place that is warm and
pleasant. and the Klondike is the very
opposite Of that.

TRADE WITH NASSAU GROWING.
Another Schooner I'm Port Loading
with Merchandise.


Savannah is developing quite a trade
with the Bahamas. Schooner loads of
general merchandise are being shipped to
Nassau, the chief port and seat of trade
and government for the group of islands
Fersts' Sons & Co, have shipped cargoes
there, as have the Savannah Grocery Com
pany, and perhaps other houses.
The schooner Mary Fl. Williams, which
arrived on Monday, is taking on large
cargo of merchandise for Nassau, the Sa-
vannah Grocery Company being the ship
pers. The schooner made the run from Mas
sau to Savannah in four days. The islands
have a population of over $4,000 and Mas
sau's population is about 5000. Cargoes
of cocoauuts, etc. could be brought back
from the islands and doubtless Will be at
different times.
There is apparently no reason why Sa-
vannah should not largely control the
business of the islands in groceries, dry
goods, etc.
There has been no further meeting of
the committee appointed by President
Purse of the Board of Trade. Some of
the members have done considerable read
ing in reference to the islands and their
trade conditions, getting all the informal
ton obtainabe on the questions in which
1t is probable that another meeting will
be held this week.
Some of the committee are decidedly of
the opinion that the best thing that Sa-
vannah can do is to make arrangements
with some such line as The Munson. One
gentleman positively refused to go on the
committee if he was to be asked 10 assist
in getting up a line. of steamers to run
solely between Savannah and West Indian
ports, believing that the enterprise could
not be made profitable He believes that
Savannah can secure a fair share of the
trade of the islands, and do it by using
such a medium as the Munson line pro-
poses without requiring merchants or 9TH
ers here to invest heavily in steamships
Many others are OF the same mind, and
IL Is quite possible that the result will
be the establishment of communication
with Cuba and Porto Rico by some such
medium as the New York company pro-
poses.
1t is thought that while the resolutions
adopted did not exactly call for the APP
pontment of a co-opera ting committee by
the Mayor. that there win be no objection
20 an amalgamation of the city's commit
tee with the original committee of nine.
There will be no trouble in securing what
ever money may be needed 10 pay the
expenses Of a commission to visit the ISL
ands Capt Purse believes In sending
large and separate commissions TO the
islands six or seven TO each, but 1t is
hardly possible that this will be done.
A single commission Of three or FIVE Is
what is probable Such a commission
could do its work quickly and effectively
and compile a mass of information such
as Is required within a comparatively
short time on the islands.

INJuRED on THn AslrHIrn1rn.
Gunner Howard Had His Nose Broken
by "A Falling Ash Bucket.

by Falling Ash Bucket.
A. Fl. Howard of No. 4S5 Tattnall street,
who served for a time aboard the monitor
Amphitrite, is back at mis- home on sick
leave. He was badly injured by the fall
of an ash bucket during the bombardment
of San Juan, and is now out of the hos
pital trying to get better.
MIR. Howard enlisted in the navy here on
March 80. Lieut.. Chase, who was at the
custom house to get recruits for the Am
phitrite, told him at the time that he want
ed him to form one of the crew at one of
the four 10-inch guns that form the main
battery of the monitor. On March 81 he
joined the Amphitrite at Port Royal and
he had three other Savannah men as ship
males, Charlie O'Byrne, Phil Jergerson
and man named Murphy.
During the engagement Of the forts at
San Juan, Howard was working in the en-
CINE room. He had a strong constitution,
was robust and was not afraid of work
1t was SO frightfully hot Ia the engine
room that several firemen had given way
under the heat. Howard was put there
because he looked as If he would be able
TO stand the strain. At the time of the
accident, which occurred while the big
guns were pelng fired, Howard was look
ing up TO direct the men handling the
bucket, which was hoisted by a rope. This
parted, and the heavy bucket $50 pounds Of
steel, loaded with wet ashes besides, fell.
1t struck Howard on the bridge of the
nose, crushing 1t in and injuring his eyes.
His left arm was broken, and his left leg
was crushed. A man standing next to him
was mashed TO death.
After the accident Howard was taken TO
Key West, where he stald for some days
IN the hospital He complains of the neg
tect he received while there. He was then
taken to Brooklyn, and thence to Philadel-
phia, where he received very good atten-
ton. HIS face now shows the effect Of the
accident. He cannot breath through his
nose, the bones OF the bridge having been
mashed down on the canal. When he gets
back to the hospital at Norfolk, where he
has orders TO report on the expiration of
his leave, he will undergo an operation to
have the bridge Of his nose raised.
Howard thinks he willy be able to get a
pension on the strength of the accident.
lie says officers have told him he will
have no difficulty, as the accident was the
fault of some one whose duty it was 10
have inspected the rope that parted. His
chief desire, however, is that he may en-
tirely recover the use of his injured organ.

BELIEVE TWILL BE SAVANNAH.
business Men Confident 1t VIII He
Selected as Port of EmbarI<atiOn.

business Men Confident 1t VIII He
Selected as Port of EmbarI<atiOn.
The impression has gotten abroad among
a number of the business men of the city
that the members of the Secretary of
Wars party and Gen. Alger himself, were
greatly pleased with all they saw while
looking over Savannah and inspecting the
shipping and other facilities offered for the
embarkation of an army at this port.
These merchants have talked with gentle
men of the committee that entertained the
party. and they have told them of the ia
vor with which the officers regard Savan-
nah.
One gentleman said he had been told by
one Of the committeeman that Savannah
is almost certain to be chosen; that
member of the party told him the secre-
tary was so well pleased with all that he
had seen and with the figures that had
been given him upon the cost of supplies
that viii be needed that he had expressed
himself as in favor Of the selection of Sa-
Yannah.
Another gentleman, a member of the
committee Of entertainment, said he would
bet anything on Savannah being selected.
Confidence is pretty general among those
who have heard the opinions that We're ex-
pressed by members of the party.
Some of the prices that were quoted the
secretary, or, rather, Col Hecker, were
very reasonable. Judging from the words
he used when he looked over them, they
were much lower than he had expected
them to be. At first the quotations were
too high, and Col. Hecker said he could
not consider them. Another try was made
at the bidders. and they marked their
prices way down. Ice and coal were put
at a low figure, and an offer of free wa
ter was made. The port charges were re-
mitted on al vessels the government win
send here and other concessions were Of
fered.
Gen. Alger stated to a Morning News
reporter that 1t will be a week or more
before the selection of Savannah or
Charleston will be made, but Col. Hecker
put the time considerably closer. He said
the department win be prepared to make
the announcement tomorrow
