Collector Dougherty explained the case

they must behave or leave.
Finding that they could not accomplish
anything in that manner they quietly

Disabled by a Pair of Mule Heels.

There is a man who sells crockery in
this town and drives a pair of bland
and innocent-loOking mules. These
mules have been in more stables in this
town than any pair of mules that travel
our streets, because of the way one of
them has of using his hind feet These
mules came to Macklem s stable on Thurs
day and were put by their owner in the
stalls. Although they did not kick, Bill
Green, the colored hostler, thought by
the gingerly manner in which the man
used the black mule that
there was something wrong and
so he asked him, in a nonchalant
way, if the mules kicked The owner
said he guessed they would not kick, but
Bill thought they would. and sat down
by the door to study the animals. In
about half an hour the stable boy, Billy
Barnes, came in and noticed that they
needed attention. Half angry at the
hostler for net cleaning them,
he began to curry them himself.
He had hardly touched the black
mule, when he drove out both hind feet,
in the way that much practice had made
him perfect in, and landed on Mr..
Barnes's leg and abdomen with such force
as to spin the venturesome hostler around
like top. and he is now in bed and has
been ever since.

PARK pEsPoLIATloN.
Several Citizens object to Railroad
Through KIrkwood Park.

Several Citizens object to Railroad
Through Ixirkwood Park.
AS has been noticed in this paper, there
has been made an application to the park
authorities to allow the Charles Warner
Company to run side line Of railroad
through Kirkwood Park. Many citizens
think that this is asking not a
little, but great deal too much.
East Wilmington is peculiarly situated,
being surrounded on all sides by marsh
land, except where Kirkwood Park is
located When William B. Norton and
others proposed the park 1t is highly prob
able that they did not fully appreciate
what boon this breathing spot in
future years would be TO the people of
that section II is something which if
ever allowed to 60 from them they can
never get back.
A Agentleman who has lived in this part
Of Wilmington for years says: Not
only Is the land that has been set apart
the best situated for park, but IL is the
park that above all others is needed, not
only for Eighth ward people, but for
those living beyond Eleventh street
bridge, which suburb is fast filling up
with pretty and substantial homes for
working people.
Now the city has pursued policy for
years Of allowing every corporation that
wan ed to, to shut off our streets urtl IL
can be truthfully said that that part
of our city lying between the creeks is
fenced in. A gentleman, in talking
yesterday Of the matter said that il va s
the opinion Of some people that
| the Park Commissioners had no right to
/ give the company permission "a
put their track through, as by legis.
lative enactment it is for park purposes
only. Continuing, he observed: "With
a railroad through 1t, it would be abso-
lutely useless for park purposes. and il
is to be hoped that not only the people
Of that part Of our city, but the whole
city, will keep their eyes on this matter
and not have, what promises to be not
only an ornament to our city, but 4
boon to what will soon be our overcrowdeC
people, taken away to accommodate one
corporation.

A new car, Just built by the Front and
Union Street Railway Company, has been
put into service, making eight cars now
on the line. The new car has the latest
improvement of electric signal bells for
the driver. The bell buttons are set
along the edge of the sash just above the
windows. The new bell does away with
two sets of straps, and never fails tc
ring. It's advantages over the old style
are SO great that it will probably be

for Judge.
AS near as can be ascertained, the plot was
entered into at Hastings last Tuesday,
The same delegates that attended the state
convention were also authorized TO act at the
judicial convention. Among them are sew
eral men who have been heard to say they
would not vote for any candidate selected by
the Douglas county bar
Paul Nandervoort heads the opposition.
When questioned last evening regarding his
position he said:
II am opposed to this selection OF judges
by lawyers on general principals. We will
put up good lawyer and clean man, but l
am not at liberty to give his name"
II has also been rumored that some OF the
men who were candidates Mt the bar
meeting had joined this move
ment against Clarksqn, but they all
deny the charge and say they will not coun-
tenance any such action on The part of the
