In England the prospectus of company having for it's object the insurance against damage by accident to bicycles:an tricycles, as well as accidents to the riders, has been issued. The capital is gIoo, o,000, in shares of e1, which it is intended to call up in install ments of 2s. Cd. at intervals of three months. The idea is good one; for although existing accident companies cover the entire ground so far as personal accidents are concerned, the promoters of this company are quite en- titled to claim novelty for the proposal to insure the machines themselves. The list of s'patrons" and directors of the company em- braces the names of large number of in- huential gentlemen in various parts of the country, including Q fair sprinkling of the medical profession.

The new bridge across the Niagara river which the Michigan Central railroad is now building, and which, it is expected, will be ready for the passage of trains by the first of December, is constructed upon plan alto gether new. The design is called 8 cantilever bridge, and it's distinctive feature is trussed beam supported at or near its center. One of these beams is supported at it's middle point upon pier on each side of the river. The shore end of the beam rests upon and is solidly anchored to another pier. The other end Of each truss projects toward the middle of the river, and fixed span connects and is supported by them. The clear ispace across the river spanned by this bridge is 500 feet The cantilevers or balanced trusses are 375 feet on the Canadian and 395 feet on the New York side, and the fixed span between is 125 feet long. The bridge is built without any false work or temporary support under the center, which the conditions in this case make totally impossible. Each cantilever is built separately and raised to it's place, and the span between is built out from the end of the cantilevers on each side until they meet The bridge will be abundantly strong to bear all the strain which can possibly be put upon if

yesterday the Democratic convention was
called TO order by Chairman Hensell in a

contested seats. Robert l.. Wright, OF
Lehigh county, was chosen temporary
chairman, with the necessary officers for
preliminary business. Taggart was nomi.
mated Auditors encral by vote OF 1863 to
II, and Powell was elected state
treasurer by 275 votes. The following is
condensed report of the committee on
resolutions;
The Democracy OF Pennsylvania reassert
their belief In the rigid enforcement OF the
Federal Constitution in civil service re-
form, and In such taxation rs Is requisite
for the necessities OF an economically ad-
ministered government; that import duties
should be so applicdas TO afford jus! COM
pensation to labor. They denounce the
proposition Of the Republican party that the
people should be taxed to raise asurplus
fund for the Federal government 10 distri-
butte among the states, and that the existing
surplus tund In the treasury should be APP
piled TO the payment Of the public debt.
They insist on reservng the public lands
for actual settlers; not another acre for cor
| porations. They further declare that the
administration OF Gov. Psttison has amply
indicated the pledges Of reform upon
which 1t was elected, and that the
economies enforced by the
Democratic House OF Representa-
tives in the departments Of the state gov
ernment, which have passed under Demo-
cratic control, and the abolition OF useless
offices that were burden upon the people,
give assurance that the extension Of that
control to other departments Of the state
government will be accompanied by real
reforms upon the extravaganza and irreg-
ularity which have prevailed under Repub-
lean administration, and that the tax laws
OF the Estate should be revised e and so
changed as to make them more equal and
more just, and bear equally on all
classes OF property. 1t was then resolved
that the rules OF the party be so amended
as to fix the time OF the annual meeting Of
the State Committee at p. m. Of Wednes-
day after the third Monday In January, in
stead Of the third Monday as now pro-
vided.

Dorsey's Statements Denied.

CHICAGO, August A morning paper
publishes an interview with Whitelaw lReid
of the New York Tribune, relative to the
appointment Of Stanley Matthews to the
Supreme bench. Mr.. Reid gives emphatic
denial to the whole story. The following
is the interview: The reporter said he had
been seen to ask Mr.. Reid concerning
Dorsey's statement about the alleged bar
gain which Dorsey said Reid probably
knew about, for the appointment Of
Stanley Matthews to the Supreme bench.
Reid replied; 81 never made any such
ba gain with Gen. Garfield, directly or in
directly, and have no reason to think that
any such bargain was made by any one
else. never even asked him for the ap-
pointment Of Matthews, nor did l know
that Matthews was to be appointed until
after his rejection by the Senate under
Hayes An interview with Mr.. George
Jones, Of the New York Times, is also
published, in which Jones pronounces
untrue the Dorsey statement, that he had

7 NEW YORK, August 2.-The operator OF
.he Brotherhood who makes his headquar-
tiers In the operating room furnished re-
port OF the condition Of affairs In the Office
and said that the company was completely
embarrassed. Special press dispatches
were said TO be mixed and almost unintelli-
gible. zone man, Guyon, who returned
to work yesterday, went out this morn
ing" The report says, "Boston business
delayed four hours and twelve minutes.
Business while awaiting transmission is
kept on vacant desk. All Western business
badly mixed; so badly, in fact, that 1t is
difficult to tell where the delay Is" The
operator on the Detroit wire sent message
timed 4:l2, and the message directly I'M
der II timed 2l7, and the one below 2:06.
Business for the city OF St. Louis
has been piling up all the morning, but
getting rid Of good deal OF it now, but
cannot say how. Chicago pretty well up
but still sadly behind. Delay on Morse
wires ranges from one and quarter hours
to five and half hours. At2p. m. BUSH
ness was sent by Wheatstone instruments,
only 10 minutes delay. When the hooks
begin to look full on heavy wires the mes
sages are taken down and placed on desks,
which makes everything look all clear to
strangers. Baltimore and Washington
have apparently nothing; business Is very
light. Philadelphia clear all afternoon.
Delay on Cinclnnati's wires, at times,
three hours. On Pittsburg the delay was
seldom more than three hours and a
half; messages sent out at 4;3O timed 2:l7.
Albany bushes two and a quarteRNAours
behind. Eastern and Erie wires working
badly. Syracuse three hours behind. Buff
ialo three hours and a halt. There are con-
slant calls for Mr.. Morris, the electrician,
to attend to the wires. One man, named
Morford, worked COusecutively thirty-two
hours, only being relieved az meal times.
1t will take along time to get things in NOV
ing order again.
This report the operators say Is perfectIy
accurate and reliable, and on no condition
would this operator be allowed to misrep.
resent things, as the report Is intended, not
so much for publication, as for the execu-
tive committee OF the Brotherhood. The
officials say that such reports are all bosh
and nonsense. They claim that business
was, except at a very few points, all up,
and that the amount Of work done was al
most as much as usual.

A wicked Negro.

New YORK, August 2.--Joseph Diaz, q
burly negro, made desperate attempt this
morning to murder Mrs. Maria Marthone,

with him. Marthone had supported Diaz
during the past winter and spring when
no was out Of work. This morning early

bedroom, and after vainly cndeavoring to
get her TO leave her husband, shot her four

It's foot. Joseph Burnet, friend Of Mrs.

unconscious. Diaz was arraigned and held

A New Policy,

New YORK, August 1.-The " orld says
"An income tax is essentially Democratic
tax. 1t is the only tax that reaches the
wealthy and excerpts the poor, while our
entire present tax system bears upon the
poor as against the wealthy. The cry that
the party favoring the income tax would
be destroyed is simply nonsense. Such a
tax, exemptng incomes below 81, 900,
would reach less than 500, 900 people, while
our customs duties and internal revenue
taxes reach 30, 900, 900. Let the Democrat
ic party inscribe on its banners, AN in
come tax and u Tux on inheritances, and Il
will materially increase itA present strength
and popularity"

ST. LOUIS, August 2.-The officials OF
the Western Union profess to be satisfied
with the situation. They still keep up that
same old assertion, "The back of the
strike is broken,' and claim that they are
doing fully as much business as before the
strike. This is denied by the strikers, who
allege that there exists decrease Of BUSH
ness amounting to 40 per cent. at least. No
action has been taken toward calling out the
railroad operators, but request has been
made Of them to refuse Western Union bus
iness. Should the railroads insist upon
their doing commercial and leaving the
Brotherhood, then they will be ordered out.
This action was taken In Nashville, Tenn,
by the operators on the Louisville e. Nash
vile line. The ''subisct TO delay" notices
have been removed from the Offices here and
