The Bicycle Light Law Begins on That Date. The law compelling all rubber-tired vehicles while in use in the public streets to show, from one hour after sunset until one hour before sunrise. a light or light-3 of sufficient power to be visible at a distance of 200 feet, will take effect August 1. There appears to be a misunderstanding among wheel- meu as to the date, many having the impression that the law goes into Oper- ation about July 20. The General assembly passed the general law, and it was approved by the governor, June 15. it provides a fine of not more than $5 for failure to comply wiih its provisions, and gives the court the power to remit. the penal- ty whenever it may appear that fail- ure to provide a light is the result of accident. Subsequently another act was passed which provides that any officer having the custody .ofa person arrested for violation of any law relating to the use ofbicycles may, upon the pledge of the bicycle used by such person, leaSe him from custody. It is the duty of the offiCer taking such pledge forth- with to give information to the proper prosecuting officer of the offense for which the arrest is made. This was also approved June 15. Neither law has any special provis- i0u as to when it shall take effect, but the General assembly passed an act re~ just before the end of the session, pro- ' viding that all public acts passed at the session. shall, unless Otherwise pro- vided, take effect the first day of August. .7 Will Give a Luncheon.

PLURALlTY 0F SIXTEEN. Decision Reached Yesterday Afternoon—Only Thirty-eight of the Rejcted Ballots Allowed. l’atrick Coughlin is to be. tax collect- or of Bridgeport and the present in- cumbent of that office will have to step down and out, as the result of a decis- ion reached late Wednesday afternoon by the Connecticut supreme court of errors in the celebrated contested elec- tion case of Coughlin vs. McElroy. The case went to the supreme court on an appeal from a ruling of Judge Ralph Wheeler on the account throw- ing out certain bz‘tllots in which the intent of the voter was evident as be- ing in favor of Coughlin, but which were so pre ared as to conflictwith the letter of the law as interpreted by Judge Wheeler. In taking the case court Mr. Coughlin’s counsel, Daniel to the supreme Davenport, set up the claim that Judge Wheeler erred in the rejection of 3.8 ballots upon which Patrick Coughlin’s pastors appeared over the name of -Patrick Coughlin, in some of the cases another pastor, evidently that of James H. McElroy, being under the Coughlin poster. Error was also claimed in the throwing out of 11 ballots on pastors bearing the name of Joseph Coughlin appearing under the words "tax col- lector.” ‘ It is understood that the latter claim of error is not sustained by the supreme court, but that the decision is that the 38 "Patrick Coughlin” pasted ballots must- bc counted for that candidate. The result of the recount, after the rejection of the alleged imperfect bal- lots, was a plurality of 2‘3 votes for MC- l-llroy. As the decision of the court compels the counting of the 38 ballots for C'oughliu, Coughliu a plurality of us over Mc- it consequently gives Elroy. 9.. . THE HORSE RACE. ‘Westporters Buying Fast Horses for the Corr.- ing Trot. The next race of the Westport Driv‘ ing club, which is to take place on the Norwalk Fair Grounds on Wednesday, July 26 , promises to eclipse anything yet given by that club; At the last meet “Billy” Williams’ Sam W. won easily, and since that time his Westport rivals have secured the country buying up all the fast horses that could be found. ' It is reported that- fully $51,200 has so far been expended in horse flesh, and that the coming race will be for blood. When Sam W. won so handily all of the horses were driven by their owners, but now they have agreed to allow pro- fessional drivers to handle the ribbons, and on the 26th the Fair Grounds will hold some of the greatest drivers known to fame. "Billy" T’Villiams is keeping quiet and has secured the services of Isaac Hamilton, who is training Sam TV. daily at. the truck. What “Ike” does not know about driving trotting horses is not worth knowing, and if he does not again land Sam “I. a winner it will be no fault of his. AA¥ Barbers Elect Officers.

Deafness cannot be cured by local applications as they cannot reach the diseased portion of the car. There is only one way to cure deafness, and that is by constitutional remedies. Deafness is caused by an inflamed con- dition of the mucous lining of the Eustachian Tube. When this tube is cnfiamed you have a rumbling sound or imperfect hearing, and when it is entirely closed. deafness is the result. and unless the inflammation can be taken out and this tube restored to its normal condition, hearing Will be de- stroyed forever; nine cases out of ten are caused by Qatari-h, which is noth- ing but an inflamed condition of the mucous surfaces.

May Recommend Changes In the Laws—No Fault to Be Fon'uu With the Administration of Com- :nissioner Evans. WASHINGTON, July 13.—The pen- sion committee of the Grand Army of the Republic, which is here inquiring into pension measures and their administra- tion at the invitation of Commissioner Evans, has practically closed its work. The committee spent most of the fore— noon at the pension bureau, going over the decisions in a number of cases which have been cited in complaints against the pension system. Members of the com- mittee in advance of shaping their re port decline to discuss the results 2f their labors, but it is understood no substan- tial foundation has been found for the allegations against the work of the bu- reau. and whatever is recommended probably will be as to changes in the law itself. The committee, with Commis- sioner Evans, had an interview with Secretary Hitchcock yesterday, at which the pension system was discussed. The committee will present its report at the annual G. A. R. encampment at Phila- delphia in September. The committee believes that there has been too close an adherence to the letter of the law as opposed to its spirit and the intent of congress and that by an in- sistence on record evidence of disability many old soldiers have failed to obtain pensions. There seems to be no disposi- tion, however, to find fault with the commissioner of pensions. as Committee- mau John Palmer of hew York said that Commissioner Evans evidently had dis- charged ‘his duty in compliance with the laws as they were interpreted to him. At the Ebbitt House last night there was a general meeting of the committee and a full discussion of the subject, at which Department Commander Coulter of Kansas and others made representa- tions on the subject of the disability act. Today the committee expects to see Pres- ident McKinley and have a talk with him on the general subject of pensions. Mr. Palmer said that no definite recom‘ mendations for amendments to the law had yet been deteemined upon and that none would be during the committee’s visit to \Vashington. Increased Ilnmigration. WASHINGTON, July 13.—Almost complete returns to the bureau of immi- gration of the treasury department of immigrants arriving in the United States for the fiscal year ended June 30, 1899, show an increase of 82,579 over the fiscal year ended June 30, 1898. The returns yet to be received will not change the figures materially. The number of im- migrants arriving in 1890 was 311,878 as against 229,200 for the previous year. Immigration for 1808 was the smallest for ten years. ' Crowninshield Going Abroad. WASHINGTON. July 13. —Captain Dickius will be acting chief of the hu- reau of navigation, navy department. during the coming trip to Europe of Ad- miral Crowninshield. chief of the bureau. who goes to look into the European meth- od of housing men in naval barracks in- stead of in training ships. It is stated that Admiral Crowninshield's trip does not indicate any purpose to make a change in the bureau and that he will re- sume his post at the close of his foreign trip. Captain Vig‘nnl to be Honored. \T'ASHINGTON, July 13.—Captain Paul Vignal, military attache of the French embassy here, has received a dis- patch from the war office in Paris fn‘ forming him that he is to be among the officers to receive the cross of the Legion of Honor on the national holiday, July 14. This is a notable distinction given each year to a few officers. and among the list this year is Major Marchand, the hero of Fnshoda, who received the rank of commander of the Legion of Honor.
