Banana Pssls on Sidewalk.

Editor The Evening Journal
There are many people in this CITY
who make a practice of throwing
banana and orange peels on the side
walks. do not think that the person
who throws a banana peel on the side.
walk realizes the danger he Is subject
ing other pedestrians 20 when he com.
mits the act. But this habit is grow
ing one in Wilmington despite the
"City Boautiful agitation, and it
should be stopped. Many accidents
have occurred recently in different sec
tions of the city due to the careless
ness Of someone who has thrown a
banana peel on the sidewalk In the
majority Of cases children are the ones
who violate this matter of good form.
They are given fruit by their parents,
and on the way to school or wherever
they are going they frequently allow
the banana skins or orange peels to
drop TO the pavement There is city
ordinance which prohibits the throw
ing Of banana peels on the sidewalk.
and Il should be enforced. Many per-
sons have had serious falls as the re-.
suit of the carelessness Of some peo.
pic The police should warn citizens
against this practice.

If there is any good reason why the manage
ment Of the affairs Of the city should be turned
over to the Democrats at this time, it has not been
brought to light. So far there has been no sug-
gestion made by those supporting the Bird ticket
for improving conditions. The record of the
Democrats in managing the county and city af-
fairs, when they were in control does not furnish
any reason why the nominees of the Democrats
ticket should be elected. There is, to be sure,
some talk about so-called rings that desire to
get control But the voters have passed upon
scare cries before and they will do again.

Former Governor General of Tfflis, Wife of Friend And COachman, Nfc- tims of Bomb of TerrOist Or
 ganizatiOn.

Alexandropol, Russia, July 16-Gen- eral Alikhanoff. former governor gen eral of Tiflis, Madame Glieboff. wife Of General Gliebiff. and the coachman who was driving their carriage were blown to pieces by bombs thrown at their con veyance at half past two o'clock this morning.

 The party was returning to the resi- dence of General Alikhanoff from his club. The bombs were hurled in Beboutoff street. General Alikhanoff was nicknamed The Wild Beast" by the Caucasian members of the lower house of parliament, who often re- ferred to his cruelty in the Kutais dis trict where he led a number of puni- tive expeditions to stamp out disorder His rigorous methods to this end brought down upon him the enmity of the revolutionists.
 General Alikhanoff vas seriously in jured by a bomb at Borjam May 30 of last year. This bomb was thrown just as he was about to take a train for Tiflis. It's explosion seriously wound ed. in addition to the general, a mem Der of his staff and several Cossacks. The remainder of the Cossacks fired into the crowd, killing many persons and then burned to the ground the buildings into 'vhich tn people had fled.

the District Court before Judge Wood. an interesting offshoot of the case was being heard in the small room used as a court by Justice of the Peace Saw age. c. W. Aller. the depot agent who was arrested charged with per- jury was brought before the magis- trate for a preliminary hearing. The State was represented by Prosecuting Attorney Koeloch and the prisoner by Peter Breen, an attorney Of Butte, who has been associated with Haywood's counsel. having been retained by the miners union of Butte to watch the case.
 Fred Miller. who was Orchards coun- sel at his preliminary hearing in Cald- we'll immediately after the murder of Steunenberg assisted Mr. Breen.
 The principal witness in the perjury hearing was Orchard himself The prisoner was brought in from the pen itentiary in charge of Warden Whitten and a penitentiary guard. No more than half a dozen people outside the principals in the case and the other witnesses were present when Orchard went over his testimony as to his con nection with D. c. Scott. the railroad agent. who Aller swore interviewed Orchard in Cripple Creek two or three weeks before the explosion at the In dependence depot on June 6. 1904
 Orchard was closely cross examined by Breen, but no amount of question ing brought out any material change in the original story. Breen was more severe in the little magistrates court than was the cross examiner when Orchard was the star witness for the State in the Haywood trial. but Orch ard maintained the same calm exte- rior and answered each question with quiet positiveness. A number of other witnesses were examined, the case talk ing up most of the day. A motion to dismiss will be argued tomorrow af- ternoon. Aller was released on the de- posit of $2,500 bond.
