The report is signed by Rear Admiral

Converse, Civil Engineer. Hasserson, Ma
val Constructor Linnard, Commander
Leutz, and Lieut.. Commander Stanton, re-
corder. Rear Admiral Sumner submits
lengthy minority report in favor of the
retention of the station at Port Royal
He enters an emphatic dissent from many
of the views and statements of the ma
jority. With reference to the scope and
character of a naval establishment to be
built upon the South Atlantic coast, Ad-
miral Sumner says: II think that
whether it is to be a frst-class navy
yard or what the board has termed an
emergency yard, is immaterial so far as
the entire adaptability of the Port Royal
station to fill the wants in either case, is
concerned; for my own part l do not
think that an emergency yard is at all
what is needed now nor what it was origi-
nally intended to establish on that coast
To sum up. l might say, colonization

ties as to Port Royal, transportation the

and can be made all that can be desired ;
the same for approaches, and
basin of any desired extent
can be readily provided, with
nothing whatever to interfere with it. The
whole field is entirely clear and free.
plenty of land and water front available
on both sides of the river, and every other
important requisite is at hand at the Port
Royal station. The health of the station
is excellent, the climate very fine. l am
therefore, opposed to any change of the
location of the naval station now at Port
Royal, S. c., and to any change of said
station to any other location whatever"

From the Hardware Dealers Magazine.
The venerable Hezekiah King, an old
hardware man of New York city has fur
nished some valuable "reminiscences as. TO
the trade in those early days As late as
1870 he says that the concern with which
he was connected carried a lot of guns
and rifles one-half of which, at least.
were fitted with flint locks. For years
tkey had imported a line of gun fiints,
and kept five varieties: also flint gun
locks, with and without skeleton pans,
and having other variations. They also
had a weapon named a little later as the
'derringer," after Philadelphia who
made it. These had single barrels, three
eighths 20 one-half inch bore we're sold
in pairs, and finished and mounted I'm a
variety OF styles, some with saw handles,
and hair triggers, put up in mahogany
cases. These were a dead weight" says
Mr.. King, until California came in and
took off everything"

ATTEMPTED TO KILL TWO.
Two Sisters Shot by Suitor Whom
One Had Rejected.


One Had Rejected.
Galena, Ills, Jan. 11.-Unrequited love
was the cause of an attempted murder
this evening, as a result of which Anne
ia and Tillie Bergman, sisters, are at the
point of death and their assailant, George
Duerstein, is being traced with blood
hounds and a posse of thirty-five citizens
headed by Sheriff Heinrich of 10 Davies
county.
Lying face down apparently dead, the
sisters were discovered by their mother,
who gave the alarm. The shooting oc-
Cured at the gate of the Bergman resi-
dence in Dewey avenue and was witnessed
by a friend of Duerstein who assisted in
near the scene of the attempted murder
and it was in this that the parties es-
capped, closely followed by a force of la
borers, who heard the shots.
At distance of but a few feet, the
insaney jealous sutton opened fire on the
young women, saying to Miss Amelia as
he shot:
You will love me or die"
The girls, aged 20 and II years, respec-
lively. are daughters of widowed mother
whom they support and the capture of
their assailant may result in a lynching
Both are probably fatally injured, one be-
ing shot in the head, while the other is
shot in the abdomen.
Duerstein is a member of one of 10
Davies county's most prominent and
wealthy families and had been educated
for the ministry.
