The Blcycle as a Disturber.

Considering the unassuming appear-
ance which the bicycle presents, and
the quiet, modest air ”with which it
moves, it seems strange that it should
have created a great disturbance in
the affairs of mankind on two or more
continents. It certainly does not look
as if it could build up or tear down
great industries, but it has accomplish—
ed the former, and is charged with hav-
ing effected the latter. Many millions
of dollars are invested in the manufac-
ture cf the wheel, and thousands of
men are engaged 1n making and selling
'it. Thousands of miles of new and
well constructed highways owe their
existence to the bicycle. But the liv—
ery stable business, the manufacture
of carriages, and the horsevracing in-
dustry have lost many millions, and
seem destined to suffer still further in-
jury from the introduction of this ve-
hicle. ,
The influence of the bicycle as a dis-
turber has been felt in many directions
outside of industrial circles. Preachers
have thundered against it, and many
writers in the newspapers and maga-
zines have discussed it pro and con from
every imaginable standpoint. Doctors
have denounced, and doctors have de-
fended it. “Society” treated it with
quiet contempt for some years, and
then adopted it with an avidity that is
atoning for past neglect. The courts
have been called upon to define its sta-
tus and have decided that it is a vehicle
and must payu toll on turnpikes and toll
bridges, and must keep off the side-
walks and, at- night, must show a light.

In spite of all complaints, the bicycle
h'as evidently fixed itself as a perman-

Whitney and Cleveland.

Mr. Whitney suggests the true ex-
planation of the apparent worry of some
editors about a third term. The third-
term talk is not due to anything Mr.
Cleveland or his friends have said or
done or are likely to my or do, says the
Philadelphia Times, but to a recogni-
tion of the fact that most Democrats
and many Republicans would rather see
Cleveland President than anybody else.

Candidates, however, as Mr. Whit-
ney says, are developed rapidly from
events, and it is idle to speculate about
Presidential nominations with the long
session ofa new Congress "still in the
future. The certain thing is the Pres-
ldent’s strength with his party and the
party’s present strength before the
country, both of which are likely to be
still greater 9. year hence.

Mr: Whitney’s appreciation of the
popular strength of the administration,
based on the achievement, is the more
noteworthy because his personal rela.
tions with the President have not apparv
ently been very intimate of late, and
the anti-Cleveland Democrats of New
York have been rather inclined to count
him on their side.

There is no Democrat either in New
York or elsewhere whose judgment
would cOmmand such unreserved re-
spect from all honest members of his
party. He has already shown himself
a leader of consummate skill and of
complete unselfishness. If he would
put himself at the head of a party or-
ganization there would be confidence
that he would lead it to victory. When
he says that he intends to take a hand
in the next presidential nomination but
is not a candidate himself it w1ll be be-

lieved that he means it. Yet sometimes
nominations come to those who have
not sought them.

A Dead Snap
Francis Flake speaks of yesterday as
being asizzling hot day, and longing
for something cool she wandered into a
graveyard, hoping to get a chill by
meeting “a real live ghost.” Possibly
she met him and he treated to ice cream
at Colby’s, Mead’s, Starr’s, or better
yet they took a ride to Gregory’s Point
and enjoyed the invigorating breezes.

Not a crab.
Messrs. H. H. Williams and St. John

trolley car and rode to Seaside Park.
They arrived home as they departed
with happy anticipations of catching a
crab or two before the haunts of the
crabs are covered with ion.

Shavlng Stone Fraud.
The post-office department has issued
a fraud order against J. W. Adams of
Bridgeport, who has been advertising
a razor, shaving cup and strap, for a
small sum. Whoever responded with
money was sent a small piece of shav-

Adams was in Norwaik some four
months ago selling this shaving stone.
Several Norwalk youths purchased
them but were unable to mnke the
stone play a razor’s part and they were
discarded. Adams has disappeared.

he used profane language upon his in-

that he has not used profane language
in ten years. A man that will not

and goes to show his early train ing fit-
ted him for the position of a reporter.

Jason M.Bowen Accidentally Shoots
Himself at Content-
ment lsland;

Loss of Blood Results In Death-

 

News reached this city last night of
the accidental shooting and death of
Jason M. Bowen, of the Hunt Electric
Engineering company at his home on
Contentment Island, Rowayton.

For some time past Mr. Bowen had
been annoyed by an owl that was steal-
ing his chickens, also by a heron that
kept catching his gold fish with which he
had stocked a small lake in the yard.

Last evening he had taken his double
barrel shot gun and was trying to rid
himself of the herron. At about a
quarter past seven o’clock he left the
spot Where he had been shooting at the
herron and started across the lot to see
if he could discover the owl that had
stolen his chickens. Suddenly, Mrs.
Bowen, who was in the house, heard
the report of the gun and then a call
for help.

’ Quickly summoning the gardiner
and the domestics about the house,
Mrs. Bowen started in the direction
from which the call for assistance
came. She soon came upon Mr. Bow:
en lying on the glass, with his left leg
torn almost completely off by the
charge from the gun.

Mr. Bowen ' was conscious when
found and said that he had slipped and
fallen and the gun had been discharged
with the above result.

He was tenderly raised up and car-
ried to the house and telephone and
telegraph messages sent to South Nor-
walk for a physician, but it was some
time before the coachman who drove to
town, succeeded in finding Drs. Burke
and Allen, who accompanied him back
to Contentment Island.

When the physicians arrived they
found that Mr. Bowen had lost such a
quantity of blood that he was beyond
assistance, and an operation was not
attempted. He died from hemorrage
shortly after.

Mr. Bowen was about 50 years of age
and was at one time connected with a
silk importing house in New York, but
latterly he had identified himself with
the Hunt Electric Engineering Com~
pany. Besides a wife the deceased
leaves a son and daughter.

Narrow Escape.

a delegation of butchers and grocers
called on E. J. Wadhams and express-
ed their opiniou of him in terms, which
to say. the least, were not of a compli-
mentary nature. The cause of the
trouble between Mr. Wudhams and his
competitors is occasioned by Mr. Wad—
hams refusal to longer continue closing
his store at 6 30. Threats of injury
and failure in business are said to have
been freely made, and no doubt having
in mind the proverb that “he who
fights and runs away, will live to fight
another day,” Mr. Wadhams jumped
into a waiting carriage and was quick-
ly whirled out of possible danger
