'The Bicycler and the Bell.
On Saturday the question of Sunday
' bicycling was elaborately cousidered
in these columns. The widespread
worry and anxiety ameng religionists
as to what seems to them a sad Sabbath
desecration, was duly and fairly con-
sidered. But a new danger to the
bicyclcrs themselves, has arisen and as
a faithful chronicler of events, the
GAZETTE hastens to sound- a note of
warning to that large class who too
generally deem themselves monarchs
of the road. '
A recent occurrence in the neighbor-
hood cf West. Chester, Pa., justly
alarms and adds two items to our stock
Fro-1 infOrmatiOn. The first item is that
a bull can be. infuriated by something
besides a red rag, and the seconduis that
a thoroughly infuriated bull can ever-
take the average bicycle. All of which
is important
It seems that Mr. John Harsey, of Bal-
timore, accompanied by two friends, was
making a tour of the country on his bi-
cycle. The party had evidently made
encouraging progress since they had
got as far as West Chester, which must
be nearly ninety miles from Baltimore.
Furthermore, they had done this with-
out any hostile demonstration on the
part of the inhabitants. Nobody seems
to have shot at them, or even thrown
stones or bad language at them. The
heavy phleg "matic temperament of the
Pennsylvania Dutch had borne the in-
vasion with equanimity, and the invad—
crs had every reason to suppose that
they‘would 1each Philadelphia without
proikain'g and great popular outburst
of resentment. While passing along a
road in East Goshen township, how-
ever, the bicyclers attracted the atten-
tion of a bull. The hull apparently was
not phlegmatic. He seems, on the con-
trary, to have been a hot-headed and
impulsive bull, and the sight of the three
Baltimore gentlemen on wheels goaded
him to fury. Probably they said some—
thing ofi'ensivc to him. Probably they
had red faces or displayed sanguine
temperaments, or laughed ironically as
they went by. That is as may be. But
the bull pawedone paw, bellowed one
bellow {and took after,them.
It is more than-likely that Mr. John
,Harsey thOught-‘it rather a joke to be
pursued by a lumbering brute like a
bull, and told himself that he would as—
tonish that 'besctted animal before he
got thrOgh with him. The average
bicycler is a haughty person, and his
pitying scorn of things that go on legs
is as profound as it is genuine. Mr.
Harsey had not gone very far, however,
before he realized that the bull just
astern of him was a quadruped of great
activity and bottom. In fact, to make
a long story short, the bull caught Mr.
Harsey, tore his bicycle all to pieIeF,
tossed the gentleman himself about
with great enthusiasm, and finally, in
an effort to erase Mr. Hersey entirely
from the equation, fell down and broke
his own neck. Mr. Hersey .was col-
lected by his friends and earned piece-
meal to the hospital, the bull was, we
suppose, turned over to the butcher,
and. so the incident closed. But we
think it well in this city of bicyclers to
0111' attention to the facts. There are
bulls in this neighborhood also, and it
is presumable that they share the weak—
nesses, the prejudices, and peradven-
tore, the speed of the Pennsylvania
bulls.
, Boys, beware of the bull !
Errata.
In the list of the names of our dead
heroes published in Wednesday’s and
' Friday’s GAZETTE, that of B. Lorenzo
Elle was erroneously placed among the
privates. He was a Lieutenant in Co.
A, 17th Ct. Vols , Douglass Fowler’ s
company, and should have been honor-
. ed by the designation of the military
rank to which he was justly entitled.

Small Fire.
About 11:45 Saturday night, people
living in the Kelleher building on Main
street, saw smoke issuing from a shed
in the rear of the Jones Manufactory
on Hoyt street. They gave the alarm
which was heard by John Kilboy, who
in turn gave it to George Grumman
and Thomas Murray the latter running
to box 15 which he pulled. ‘
In the meantime Grumman and Kil-
boy shouted fire, and then ran to where
the smoke was seen, and scaling a fence
located the fire in a box of dye-wood,
which they quickly pulled outside the
shed.- The fire department, arrived on
time and Phoenix Engine company soon
had a stream on the box and the fire,
an incipient one, was extinguished be-
fore any great amount of damage was
done. There are several wooden build-
1ngs in the vicinity and had the firernot
been discovered as it was, the damage
would probably have been large. It is
said to have been of incendiary origin.

Ideal Summer Food. m3l tf
$20 in Promises.
Some weeks Since Michael Lubrano,
better known as Mike O’Brien, sold a
horse to Frank Banselli, the Plymouth
avenue baker, fer $50, receiving in cash
$30 and $2 0 in promises. On Saturday
last O’Brien met Banselli at South
Norwalk and asked him for the balance.
Banselli said that he had but $5, which
he tendered to O’Brien. It was refused
and O’Brien took possession of the
horse and left Ranselli’ s bake wagon
standing 1n the street. The horse was
replevined and O’Brien placed under
arrest. This morning Judge Frost pre-
sided at a hearing of the case and the
matter was amicably settled, and Ran-
selli again has:possession of the horse.

Fasted Many Days.
About, three weeks ago Mr. William
Lockwood lost his pet Maltese cat, and
all efforts to find it were unavailing.
Some two weeks since Mrs. E. M. J ack-
son hcard a cat mowing under her par—
101 carpet, but as it was not repeated
she paid but little adaption to it. A
few days ago she learned that Mr.
Lockwood had lost his cat, and yester-
day she again heard ihe cat’s cries, and
Mr. Lockwood was adv1sed of the fact.
He visited Mr. Jackson’s house and
called the cat by name and the cries
were repeated with increased vigor. He
then became satisfied that it was his lost
pet. But how to get at it was the ques-
tion. It was finally decided to take up
the carpet and a hole was sawcdin the
floor and-the cat released from Its en-
forced imprisonment. It had crawled
under the floor from the cellar and the
Space would not permit of the poor ani-
mal’s turning around, and there he had
been imprisoned twenty-three days,
and h1s emaciated form showed the re-
sults of his long fast. He was given a
few spoonsful of cream but his stomach
failed to retain it. ' He is receiving
great attention and if he survives will
probably be rechristened “Dr. Tan-
ner.”
THE MINING INDUSTRY.
Ohio Miners and Operators Finally Agree
on the “’age Question.
COLUMBUS, 0., May 3,—Tlio Ohio min-
ers and operators have reached an agree-
ment on the wage question.
The price for pick mining in the Heck-
ing district is to be 51 cents a ton, based
on a 60 cent rate in the thin vein mines of
the Pittsburg district, the other districts
of Ohio to occupy the same relative posi-
tion which they did April 30,1895. In
case an advance is secured in the Pittsburg
district a proportionate advance is to be
made in Ohio, and a board of seven 'miners
and seven operhtcrs is to be appointed to
determine whether such an advance has
been made in the Pittsburg district, with
authority to call in a disinterested party
in event of a failure to agree. All the
miners are to be reinstated, and without
prejudice. ‘
The agreement is to be submitted to the
miners of the state for their approval or
disapproval, and though there will be Some
opposition to it a. final acceptance by the
miners is regarded as inevitable. The
agreement is not made for any specified
time.
Pittsburg Mining District.
Pirrsnunc, June 3,—Th-c conditions of
the miners in this district has improved
somewhat within the past few days, inas-
much as the mincs are pretty generally
starting up at the rate of 55 cents in cash.
While the men struck for the 69 cent rate,
they concluded when the strike collapsed
to take the owners’ offer, 60 cents, but now
the operators, as a rule, have concluded to
allow 55 cents cash, which in reality is
equivalent to 65 cents.

SMUGGLED CIGARS SBIZED.
The Biggest Haul Made In New York
During the Past Five Years.
NEW YORK, Juno 3.—-The biggest seiz-
ure of smuggled cigars during the last five
years at this port was made last night at
the cigar store of Frische & Co., 6 Astor
House. Eight large cases containing 21, -
500 of the finest grade of Havana cigars
were scizod, and a man who is supposed
by the customs officers to be the leader of
a wholesale cigar smuggling ring was
locked up in Ludlow Street jail.
Colonel George F. Cross, the special
agent at this port, and a half dozen of his
assistants made the seizure amid great ex-
citement. The arrested smuggler gave his
name as Daniel J. McLeod. but he is not
known to the customs officials. Other ar-
rests will follow, as such a big consign-
ment of cigars from Cuba could hardly be
smuggled in without connlvanco on the
part of the captain or officers of the vessel
which brought them here.
