has become matter OF almost daily
occurrence for the newspapers 20 chron'

have been run down and injured on tho
streets Of Wilmington. Probably not
more than one case in ten is reported AS
many persons who suffer In consequence
Of this cycling abuse are averse to the
notorlety which a report Of their mishaps
would give them.
The wheel has become more than a
machine for amusement. II is becoming
part and parcel OF the business equip
ment OF the day, aud It's general use Is
increasing with surprising rap'dlty.
Many thousands Of dollars are invested
in bicycles by WilmingtonIsns and the
demand upon the dealers Is seemingly as
great as ever. With these facts con

the authorities tolerate this scorching
abuse the more difficult it will be to

For the benefit OF our Sunday con

editorial concerning the retirement Of
Chairman Bach from active politics was
not written by Horace q, Kuo wles or any
other personal or political friend Of the
retiring chairman. It was written by a
Democrat who has had every opportunity
to watch the uniting Efforts OF Mr.
Bach TO serve the interests of his party.
From Democratic standpoint We have
nothing to say good of him, but we
repeat that he has bsen the life and soul
Of the Republican party In New Castle
county for many years and that his In
huence will be seriously missed by those
who have been his political associates

THE BONNER MURDER TRIAL.
Mourning the End-Brnniicy's Friend.
Ie N Condition. It,uhnted

Washington, N c., Jam. 29.-(Spc-
cial)-This is the middle of the third
week In perhaps the longest trial that
appears In the history of the Old North
State. No blacker crime has ever cast
IL blot on the fair pages of her history
and some of the ablest counsel In the
state have figured on both sides In the
case. and every inch gained by either
side has been fought hard for
ro Mr.; John H. da; Small lawysr of fine
jury yesterday on behalf of the State
1t was nearly five hours long, and the
ablest he has ever made In any case
He was followed by Hon. J. t. Moore
of Wflltamston, N. c., In speech of
six hours. He has Il reputation as one
of the finest defense lawyers i'm the
State. and in this effort he did himself
full justice for the defendants Bell.
Mr.. +. $. Simmons followed for thu
defendant Brantly In h speech OF two
and half hours. 1t was u powerful
argument for the defendant. who had
put on no evidence In defense OF the
charges against him. He appealed for
justice and mercy, and his effort was
touching In the extreme. Tears filed
the eyes OF some of the many ladies
who have been daily attendants This
closed the argument for the defense and
Hen. c. +. Warren opened the closing
argument for the State and after sprak-
ing about half hour court adjourned
until tomorrow. at which time he viii
complete the argument, and the Judge
will charge the jury. II Is thought that
1t Will require day for the charge,
and this would give the case 10 tho
jury about Friday noon.
There is much interest felt I'm the
case and the attendance at each SEES
sion of the court has filed the court
room. y noticeable occurrence took
place to-day. AS your correspondent
entered the courtroom before the noon
recess, the defendants Bell ana several
ladies were holding "a social chat ana
all seemed to be In the best of spirits
md having jolly good time This is
rather singular when 1t Is taken into
consideration that the two defendants
are on trial for such n grave charge.
Brantly showed more feeling and IN
tercst than usual to-day No one
speaks to him except his aged fatber
and mother. and his wife and his couu-
gel. lie seems to be alone while tho
Bells have many friends who stand nv
them in this trying event They do
not seem to realize the magnitude or
the oirense with which they stand
charged
The defense holds that Credlc's con-
lesion Is false. in that 1t applies to the
three defendants and that he impIi-
Gated them to screen his accompliccs.
