RAILROAD GETS LAND FREE
Alley, Paid for by District, Pre-.
sented to P, B. G. v.
Commissioners Without Power to
Them by Purchase.

Although the District Of Columbia in
1894 expended S3.S97.4 for the condemna-
tion and purchase Of an alley in the east
ern part Of square 493 this alley is 10 be
donated, without cost, TO the Philadel-
phia, Baltimore and Washington Railroad
Company. which by the act of February,
1901 is given the right 70 occupy this
entire block for railroad purposes. The
right TO close this alley is given 10 the
Commissioners under a section OF the
code Of laws Of the District According TO
the ruling of the corporation counsel. the
authority Of the Commissioners to close
the alley in question is absolute In his
official Endorsement on the papers in the
case, Commissioner West says
Under these circumstances and upon
the statement of the corporation counsel
that the Commissioners have no authority
TO sell the land comprised in the alley
1 reluctantly add my approval It seems
to me, however, that the law should be
amended 50 as to provide in the future
that terriory which has been bought and
paid for by the District should not be-
given away for nothing.
1T would appear as If some recompense
should be made either 10 the United
States or the District Of Columbia for
this amount actually taken out of the
Treasury. In other words. nearly SG0
worth Of property, which has been bought
and paid for, should not be given to the
Philadelphia. Baltimore and Washington
Railroad without any return whatever
This matter becomes of importance
owing 20 statements which have been
made TO me 10 the effect that very large
amounts Of property In South Washing
ton have been given away 90 the railroad
companies under similar conditions. An
inquiry shows, however. that the case Of
square 493 is the only case where alley
property bought and paid for by the
United States or the District has been
acquired by the railrnad cnnnanies-"

STUDIES ALLIGATOR HABITS.
Prof. Reese Describes Their Manner Of
Building Nests
for soc grade.

Inc breeding habits Of the Florida
alligator Is the subject Of a paper Just
issued by Prof Albert N. Reese, Of the
Syracuse University. under the auspices
Of the Smithsonian Institution. Prof.
Reese has spent parts of three summers
IN Florida, studying al first hand the
habits and collecting embryOlogicaI ma
tcrial Of this interesting reptile.
Prof Reese finds that the month Of
June is the time when most. if not all.
Of the eggs are laid. and that is gov
erncd more or less by the extreme
droughts that dry up the smaller
sWamp5 and reduce the alligator holes
TO mere puddles. Nests were found in
considerable numbers as early as June
S. but no eggs were laid i'm any Of them
until the end Of the dry period. which
occurred nearly two weeks later. Al
most Immediately after the occurrence
Of the rains that filled up the swamps
eggs were deposited in all Of the nests
% about the same time
An alligator nest is generally made
on slight elevation, near the bank or
hole in which the mother gator
lives. 4 sunny spot is generally select
ed for the nest. which is made of marsh
grass piled in q coEical heap. packed
down by the builder crawling over it.
There seems to be considerable vari-
alton in the size and form Of an alI-
gators nest; some are small and others
quite large. and so concealed in con-
struction as TO be difficult TO find. Be
sides, there seems 20 be no relation be-
tween The size Of the nest and the num-
her Of eggs. The average number Of
eggs in twelve nests found was thirty
one.
The complete process Of incubation
probably extends through a period of
about eight weeks. but no accurate oh
servatiOn along this line could he made.
For some hours previous to Matching
the young alligators make a curious
sgueaking sound inside the she'll that
may be heard for a distance Of several
Yards. This sound may be for the pUr-
pose Of attracting the attention of the
female alligator. VINO viii open the top
of the nest in time to allow the just
hatched alligatOrs to escape
A. the time Of Matching the alligator
is about eight inches I'm length, and ii
seems impossible that it should have
been contained in so small an egg.

THREW A BOMB.
Attempt TO Kill Sylvester CimiIuca,
Victim of Vendetta.

NEW YORK, Jan. T.-Three persons
were seriously injured and many 9th
ers narrowly escaped when n bomb
was thrown just before IL O'Clock al
night from the northbound station OF
the Second Avenue Elevated road in
Forty-second street.
The bomb was undoubtedly thrown
with the intention to kill Sylvester
Cimiluea, a fruit dealer. who has been
active in the prosecution OF n woman
now in the Bedford home charged with
murder.
No trace OF the bomb thrower was
found. but investigation of the cireum-
stances and the statement of the fruit
dealer made it virtually certain that
some friend of the woman hurled the
explosive from the stairway leading to
the uptown station.
Cimiluca will lose n arm, If his
injuries do not prove more serious,
Mrs. Mary Bailey was an innocent
victim of the affair, MS was Giorgio, a
fifteen-year-old son of Cimiluca.
Mrs. Bailey was on her way home
from market and had stopped to buy
fruit, when the bomb fell directly be-
tween her and the fruit dealer. Both
were hurled from their feet. while
showers of glass fell about them
Their faces and hands were cut by
the flying glass.

Sultan Of Moroccos Troops
Chase Bandit to Mountains
Gahhas Wanted 'RaisuIi Dead

TANGlER, JAM. T.-Zlnat, Raisufrs
stronghold, was virtually destroyed by
fire and fell into the hands of the
troops of the sultan at o o after a
short and almost bloodless fight.
Raisuli and his 700 followers sue
ceeded in eludlag capture and reaching
the mountains despite the elaborate
plans of War Minister Gabbas to pre-
vent their escape.
1t is reported that General Bagdadi,
chief of the sultan's army, was wound
ed while leading the attack.
No firing took place during the night,
but at 10 o'clock in the morning the
artillery, under command of an Al
gerian native lieutenant, whom the
French authorities permitted to partici-
pate in the battle on request of War
Minister Gabbas, opened fire on the
town.
The Moorish gunners showed utter
incapacity in handling their guns, and
the infantry fired haphazard. Two
shells dropped inside the fastness with

sultan's troops charged. shouting, and
reached the walls amid desultory shots
from the surrounding brush.
The gates to the town were found to
be open, but there were no occupants
of the place except fifteen prisoners,
including among whom were four Por-
tuguese. .
A detachment of the government
troops continued for some hours firing
in the direction of the mountains,
where Raisuli and his followers were
observed fleeing.
Meanwhile the other government
troops pillaged the stronghold, secur-
ing considerable booty in the shape of
costly carpets, arms. cattle and sheep.
No fatalities in the lighting are re-
ported, though a few persons on both
sides were wounded. 1t is thought
probable that the R~aisulites carried off
sheir dead.
