to the Empire, the leading government paper,
says: Newspapers here republish the

betokens the abandonment of vital feature

A Bicycle is a Vehicle.
so SAYS THE SUPREME COURT OF RHODE ISLAM
AN IMPORTANT DECISION

AN IMPORTANT DECISION.
The supreme court of Rhode Island has rem
dered a decision which will be Of vital interest
to all bicyclists who have long been pestered
by those who have considered them as intruders
on the public highways, and have taken every
means possible to crowd them into the cutters
and upon the sidewalk. Last spring one wheel
man was run into On Broad street, Providence,
by Patrick H. Collins, an expressman, who, &C.
eording to the evidence, was very malicious
and refused to pay any regard to the warning
whistles. The wheelman's hand was broken
and his machine seriously damaged. Collins
was convicted in the lower court Of a violation
OF the law requiring him to drive reasonably
to the right of the Travelled center of the high
way, and took an appeal. The case was then
heard in the court Of common pleas before
jury, and he was again defeated. From that
court the case was taken before the supreme
court on an exception to the judges
ruling, and charge that bicycle was q We
hicle. Chief Justice Durfee, the sitting asso-
ciate judges concurring has settled the ques-
ton once and for all. and the bicyclists are to
have full protection from ''road boys" The
decision was given as follows: 'The question
Is a carriage or vehicle within the meaning of
the public statutes, which enacts that every
person travelling with any carnage or other
vehicle shall reasonably drive his carriage or
vehicle to the right OF the center OF the trav-
eled part of the road, so a to enable
such person to pass with his carriage
or vehicle without interference or inter-
ruption. The view Of the court was that
. bicycle is q carriage or vehicle which car
ries person, mounted upon ii, and which 10
propelled and driven by him. The word We
hicle IL certainly broad enough to include any
machine which Is used and driven ON the trav-
eled part Of the highway for the purpose Of
conveyance. The purpose Of the section is TO
prevent accident or collision, and such accident
or COLLATION. may happen from bicycle and
other carriage meeting, unless the rule laid
down In the section In observed In Taylor ".
Goodwin it was decided that bicycle e Q car
rage within the act which forbids the driving
Of carriage '.furiously, 90 - 70 endanger the
life or limb Of any passenger" The exception
was overruled, and the case RENTED to the
court Of common pleas for sentence.

The Iowa Railroad Case.

VOW BEING HEARD IN THE Q. 8. CIRCUIT COURT
AT ST. PAUL AND Is WATCHED WITH INTEREST.
ST. PAUL, MIMI, Dec. 13-An interesting
and important case is just now being heard in
the United States circuit court. the outcome Of
which will be awaited with great interest by
every railroad manager in the country. The
case is that of the Chicago, Burlington and
Quincy and the Chicago, Milwaukee and st.
Paul railroads against the railway commission
and the encouragement of the state Of Iowa.
Other interested roads are represented by at
torneys At the last session Of the Iowa legis-
lature the railroad commissioners were en-
powered to fix a schedule of railroad freight
rates. They objected to the schedules in force
at that time and prepared what they consid-
cred fair rate on through and local business
The Burlington and Milwaukee roads objected
and filed a bill, before Judge Brewer asking
stay of procee dings which was granted. Ship
pers continued to complain of e1orbitant rates
and discrimination and the commissioners
prepared second schedule, which they are
now preparing to enforce. This was forbidden
ty restraining order granted last December
and now the plaintiff roads are seeking a tenn
porary injunction. The decision will establish
precedent for judges of minor courts to fol-
low, and railroad commissions will watch for
the result for their own individual benefit. As
yet nothing has been done besides presenting
the case. There is some great legal talent in
terested and lively fight may be looked for.
