A DANGEROUS NUISANCE.

The Throwing of Banana Skins and
Orange Peel on the Sidewalks.
One Of the nuisances. the abatement Of
which has long been recognized as neces-
sity, is the throwing of banana skins,
orange peel, and other like stuff likely to
cause serious injury to pedestrians, on the
sidewalks.
In the banana season, when the fruit is
plentiful aud fruit stands and hucksters'
carts are on almost every corner, the side
walks are Uttered with the innocent look
ing but treacherous little yellow skin that
never fails to floor the unwary pedestrian
who steps on it.
Numbers OF cases of more or less serious
Injury from being thrown by banana skins
have been reported. 1t is a difficult matter
to pass fruit stand corner without picking
ones way along the sidewalk to
avoid slipping on the refuse
thrown out from the stands. A case was
recently reported OF serious sprain caused
by stepping on peeling thrown on the
sidewalk, probably by some thoughtless or
careless person. An ordinance prescribing
penalty for littering the walks with suoh
stuff would tend to lessen the da niger to life
and limb that now exists through this nui-
Eance

THE WRIT SWORN OUT.
Harris Habeas Corpus Proceedings

harris Habeas Corpus Proceedings
Will Fell Flat To-day.
Ambrose Harris attorneys swore out a
habeas corpus before Judge Falligsnt yes
terday in the superior court for the release
of the convicted murderer on the grounds
of illegality of sentence, and without hear
ing any argument on the issues raised
Judge Falligaut made the order returna-
bic at 10 O'clock this morning.
The movement will amount TO nothing
Mr.. Morrison did not make any great re-
search of the law or he would never have
raised the point, which would have
given him a brilliant reputation as
a criminal advocate had he
been successful In the decisions
of the supreme court at the October term,
1887, he could have found an Identical case
in that OF West VS.. the state, in which the
following opinion was unanimously rem
dered: ''Since the act Of 1875 a recommen.
dalton to mercy in capital cases Of murder
Is equivalent TO a recommendation to i'm
prisonment for life, and q verdict recon-
mending the defendant TO mercy is not
illegal"
Solicitor General Fraser found this decis-
ion yesterday. and when Mr.. Nor
risou appears in court this
morning prepared to make
met by cold facts which will take all the
wind out of his sails and finally settle Harris
down
Mr.. Morrison probably got his inspiration
from an old section of the code since
amended, which says that recommendation
to mercy in all capital cases except murder
shall be equivalent to a recommendation to
life Imprisonment.
There is no hope for Harris now, as he
withdrew his appeal for new trial A life
residence at hard labor IN the mines is the
stern reality which he must face.

A GREAT SCHEME FOR TYBEs.
Plans for the Summer.

There are many persons who would like
to spend the summer at Tybee, but who do
not like hotel life and who do not want to
make large investment there.
Last summer there was considerable talk
among certain real estate men as to a plan
of getting front lots and building CHEAP cot
tages for rent or sale. 1t was started too
late in the season to accomplish anything.
The demands upon the resources OF Tybee
for accommodations will be greater this
year than ever. This enterprise can be
most successfully entered into now. No
better chance will ever be presented for
getting a splendid site for such an enterprise
than the sale OF lots on Tuesday by G. H.

AT THE COURTS,

Judge MacDonell Non-Suits the Case
Against the Telephone Company
The 100000 damage suit of Annie Baker
against the Southern Bell Telephone and
Telegraph Company for the killing of her
husband by a falling pole, an account of
which appeared in yesterdays MORNING
News, was non-sufted by Judge Mac
Donell after a three hours argument by
Hon. F. @. duBignon for the de-
PENDANT and Mai P. w. Meldrim
for the plaintiff. Mr.. duBig-
mons argument was that the company
had used all due diligence in erecting the
pole. and that the breaking Of the rope was
something for which it was not responsible,
Maj. Meldrim argued that the rope was not
proper one, but after hearing witnesses on
both sides Judge MscDonell ordered a nom
suit and discharged the jury. The case will
go TO the supreme court.
The case of Andrew Demere icoloredl.
charged with cheating and swindling, came

as the case was called the attorney entered
plea Of autrefois acquit for his client,
which after short argument was sus-
tanned by Judge MacDonell. In other words
Demere had been tried for forgery and &C
quilted in the superior court on practically
the same case which was brought against
him in the city court under the head of
cheating and swindling and Judge Mac
Donen held that a man cannot be tried
twice for the same offense.
