A NOVEL VEHICLE.
A ons.wheeisd sulky and its 1nYo

A one.wheeied sulky and It's InYOn-
Considerable interest was aroused on
the street yesterday by tho sight Of a
novel and striking vehicle. 1t resembled
in some respects dog cart or sulky, and
was drawn by one horse, but it has but
one wheel, and is doubtless the only prac-
teal vehicle ever designed with one
wheel. The inventor is Mr.. Joseph A.
Arthur, West Virginia inventor who
has been residing In the city for
several months, perfeCting some Of
his machines. His idea in this vehicle is
to furnish means Of travel which can be
used on bride paths through the woods,
on steep hillsides where horse can barely
obtain footing on the narrow path, and in
other places where the lightest vehicle oil
other design could not be taken. It is
thought by practical men that his sulky
fills the bill.
Mr.. Arthur is also the inventor OF the
only practical, working rotary engine ever
built. A four-horse engine built from his
designs is now in running order at Bod
ley's wagon factory. It has demonstrated
its practical character, and has the advan-
tage Of being light and powerful together.
Another valuable invention OF Mr..
Arthur's is a device to overcome the
centre on crank, or the dead point on
piston rod. 1t is ingenious and does what
1t is aimed to do. Mr.. Arthur's brain is
exceedingly fertile in ideas, and he bids
fair 10 rival Edison in the number Of
rnEanku ;uanad 10 him

DRAWING CLOSER.
TnE srArE rAIR NEAR Ag nANp.
Preparations Drawing to a Close, and the
Prospects Growing Brighter and Brighter
Every Day-A Lively Scene ON the
Grounds and in the Buildings.

The past two days have been busy ones
on the State Fair grounds. The tlutteting
flag flying from the staff on the dome Of
the main building has been lit emblem Of
the continual activity that has prevailed
in all parts OF the grounds, which will be
largely increased to-day. Notwithstand-
ing the showery weather Of yesterday a
large number Of exhibitors were to be
found in and about the buildings where
their displays are to be made, building
stand or decorating and fitting them up.
The main hall this year is going to be
more attractive that ever. Unusual pains
have been taken III arranging the aquar-
iun and fountain and with its long waving
ferns and velvety moses and over two
hundred fishes disporting in its waters,
ii forms lovely Ecenter piece for the vast
huilding which will be bright and vocal
with color and music. The ladies' depart
ment, where the fancy goods arc shown,
bids fair to be more bewildering and iasci-
nstrng than at any previous fair. Mrs.
A. Wilson Kelly, who has charge OF this
department, and her assistants find them
selves taxed to their utmost to provide
places for all the exhibits that are coming
in.
Secretary Hook srd General Superin-
tendent Exley have been on the grounds
constantly for the past two days directing
the large force at work, driving "a nail
there, fixing hinge in another place,
cleaning up tho grounds and In other
ways preparing for next weeks monster
show, for such the fifth annual fair Of the
Association is bound to be. Entry Clerk
Phillips has been kept busy in bis office
on the grounds issuing exhibitors tags
and directing their owners.
Hourly things grow livelier about the
stables and tho coming races are being
eagerly discussed by stable hands, horse
men and outsiders, who frequent the
quarters Of the flyers. The track is being
put in first class shape. Proliting by
past experience, only competent men
will be placed in the judges stand ; they
will be men Of de armlnaLlon, well quail:
fed to Judge Il races fairly. and will
allow no monkey" business. They
will permit no one ii their box but
themselves, and the officers Of the Asso-
citation have guaranteed the press that its
box shall not be invaded by any one
but OF working newspaper men: The
score cards this year will as heretofore BIO
gotten up by Charlie stull.
All the guards and the special police
force have been engaged and instructed.
Only q few little details remain to be at
tended to and then everything will be in
readiness for the opening OF the gates to
the public Monday morning.

officials. Mr.. Caldwell went on with his
argument however, this point being held
THE gTATEB ANBwER,

THE STATES ANSWER.
The answer Of Auditor Duffy tothe bill
OF the conplainants was read. II denies
that the Auditor made up the statement
OF taxes chargeable 70 the Company, this
having been done each year by ex-Auditor
Miller. The whole amount Of tax due Is
put at $l93, 40 2s, OF which s3s, 429 90 is
Tor State and State school tax. Itisdenied
that the Railroad Company has until 1886
to pay the taxes now due, and alleged that
last July Auditor Duffy proposed to Vice
President Wickham, Of the Q. 4 o. rail.
road, that 1.-THE company wouldpay all the
taxes decided by the q. S. Supreme Court
to be due, he would remit the ten percent
penplty. To this Gen. Wickham respond
ed that the company Could not raise 30
much money at once. Later Mr.. Duffy
told the General that 1t had been decided
that the State would insist upon the pay
ment OF every cent OF the tax, and the ten
percent additional. The allegation that
the taxes have been placed at larger sum
than at first claimed to be due is denied.
This makes the gist Of the questions at
Issue. Mr.. Caldwelps time was largely
taken up by tho reading Of the answer,
though it has not yet been fled as an
answer. The ststa demurs to the bill. II
this demurrer is oyerruled, the paper will
be put in as the Auditors answer.
The question whether Mr.. Caldwell by
due authority represents the sheifs OF
the counties having local taxes due is an
important one.
The court meets at 10 A. NJ. to-day, when
Mr.. Caldwell will conclude the argument
for the State. Gen. Robinson, OF Rich:
mond, Chief Counsel for. the railroad
company, will follow in the closing re-
marks for the plaintiffs. "a
