Protest Against Interference.

The police department Is securing signatures to a petition addressed to Governor Jelks protesting against any executive interference with the sen- tence of Frank Miller who is under sentence to hang on the 18th, but has appealed to the Governor for clemen- cy. The petition says that it is the opinion of the petitioners that stay of execution in this case would tend to destroy the confidence of our citi- zens in the law and would bring about lack of confidence in it's proper en- forcement." Miller was convicted of the killing of Policeman J. W. Adams in March last year. On Sunday next a monument will be unveiled over the graves of Adams and his fellow officer c. w. Kirkley who was killed at the same time. Frank Duncan. Miller's pal. under sentence of life imprison- ment for his part in the Adams killing and under indictment for tine murder of Kirkley. recently received $1l0 in cash from relatives. It was deposited in a bank here. Today w. P.

Miller pay mp the back rent and they
both agreed on Tuciavone as the one to

The people of Wilmington generally
are in hearty accord with the Street and
Sewer Department in holding up the
PENNSYLVANIA Railroad Company's cle-
waited plans of the Street and Sewer
Department until they can be fully look
ed into and examined by the proper city
officials. Yesterday the officials of the
railroad company caused to be published
in one of the afternoon papers story
to the effect that the proposed improve
mcnts may be abandoned owing to what
was termed the dilatory mode of pro-
splure of the railroad company.
Il is admitted that the improvements
will be il great benefit to the people of
Wilmington Every one wants to see

rrty and tresspassing on the rights OF
individuals who have the same rights as

Another fact well-known is that tn"
elevated road would be MS great ben"-
fit TO the railroad company as IT would
be to the people Of the city. In tn t
way it would be enabled to run its trains
through the city at much greater speed.
Resides this il would be enabled 70 run
fhe freight trains to Il greater advantage.
A well-known citizen and taxpayer last
evening is speaking about the matter

The street and sewer Department did
not accept the plans of the company
