France was stabbed at Lyons on June
"a. 1894; Canovas del Castillo, prime
minister OF Spain and virtually ruler OF
the country while he was in office, was
shot and killed at Santa Agueda on
Aug. s. 1897. All three assassinations
were the work OF men who loudly pro-
claimed themselves anarchists and
their deeds the result of their convic-
tons, and the assassins were all three
Italians. circumstance which imme-
diately after the three assassinations
caused a furore against that race In
the countries which had suffered.
The final and successful attempt OF
nihilism on the life OF Alexander III.
OF Russia occurred on March 13, 1851.
Two bombs were thrown at the i'm
periel carriage. the first by Rysakoff,
the second and fatal one by Greneyit-
sky. The emperor was out to view the
parade of the Marine corps. The event
had been planned far In advance and
nihilism had plenty of time to arrange
what was TO be a grand movement to
end the czar's life. Mines were laid
In streets through which the carriage
might pass and adherents literally sup
piled with hand bombs to throw In
case the mines failed. AS the carriage
approached the bridge over the Cath
crime canal Rysakon pressed forward
through some workmen shoveling snow
and threw the first bomb.
II fell behind the carriage. tearing
out the back. and wounding two cos
sacks. The emperor stepped out OF his
carriage. and as he did 30 the second
bomb. thrown by Grenevitsky, fell and
exploded at his feet. breaking both legs
and penetrating his abdomen. The en-
peror died two hours after the explo-
sion OF the bomb at his feet. Frag-
ments OF the bomb killed and wounded
people In every direction. the bomb
thrower himself being killed. This
successful attempt was the result OF n
widespread plot in the Russian branch
OF anarchistic Europe. Five OF the
conspirators were hanged.
The killing OF President Carnot OF
France at Lyons on June "a. 1894, and
the assassination Of Premier Canovas
on Aug. s, 1897. were still fresh in the
memory Of Europe when the third out
rage In four years was committed at
Geneva. President Carnot's assassin,
salto. rushed upon the presidents car

CASE DIMIssED.
The Noted Triplstt-sims SUIT Wa
Dismissed on Notion Of Defendant
Lack Of Jurisdiction.

The defendant in Triplett vs.. Sims
case Monday filed q motion to dismiss
the pIsintif's canse OF action. The
motion was sustained by the court on
account Of lack Of jurisdiction.
II win be remembered that this suit
was n emanatiDg from the award
ing OF q Street Fair prize for farm
products, the plaintiff asking for $40
damages, claiming that Mrs. Sims did
not raise all Of her winning exhibit
on one farm.
At the second trial on Thursday,
December 7th, the jury awarded Trip
lett g verdict Of 81 and costs, which
amounted to about $500. Both trials
were held before Acting Squire Byron
Cluster, and II was due to this fact
that, after the appeal had been taken
to the Circuit Court, the case was
thrown out on account Of lack Of ju-
r~isdIction. In rendering the decision
Judge Hughes held that 1t was a COM
mon law arbitration.

Court had instructions for a verdict
