A Complaint Against Bicyciers.

To the Editor Of The Evening Star:
The wheelman seems to have an aversion to
riding on his own side Of the road or keeping
to the right when meeting vehicles drawn by
horses. He frequently takes the left-hand
roadway of streets which there are car
tracks, and even in that contracted space darts
about he pleases without giving any signs Of
his intentions. Nor in passing las distin-
guished from meeting vehicle) does be keen
to the left. Yesterday while I was driving ON
the proper side of the street within two or
three feet of the curb a rider on a high wheel
darted past, with his coat tails Tapping close
to my horses head, while the space on the other
side was entirely clear. II had happened to
turn in little closer, which might have done,
hearing no sound behind me and not expect
ing any such violation of the rules of the road
there would have been an accident"
In riding horseback and driving one Is con-
stantly encountering wheelmen who violate the
rules that are obligatory upon them ss well 40
upon equestrians and drivers Sometimes the
blcyclers occupy the whole Of the roed riding
three or four abreast, and giving no room until
close upon you, when one will dart ahead OF
fall behind, leaving you close TO the ditch with
a horse that 10 not insensate machine and
cannot be safely guided within 30 scanty .
margin. Gentlemen in such cases, independent
OF rules, would fall into single file in good time
for fear that the approaching horse might be
skittish and human life imperilled-
In view Of the many incidents" that happen
from horses being frightened by wheelmen the
rules OF the road should be strictly enforced
and the police on our city streets and much
frequented drives should be instructed 20 warn,
and, il necessary, TO arrest offenders. while al
decent wheelmen, who are doubtless greatly in
the majority, should by example and precept
promote a scrupulous observance Of those safe
guards which have been established for riding
and driving.
Wheelmsn viii lose the rights they have -
cured upon the road IL they neglect the rules
which the law prescribes and public safety 70

The Fight mt ValDaralsO.

The account which came from San Francisco
yesterday of the naval engagement in Valparaiso
harbor, stating that the insurgent cruiser Magel-
lanes sailed under the guns of the government
forts and almost annihilated the government tor
pedo boats, is received with increduli.y at the
Navy Department. Such facts as are officially
known. seem to djscredit the story. The en-
gag ement is reported to have taken place in
the presence of the foreign men-of-war. Ad-
miral McCann was there on that date
on board the Baltimore. yet in a report
to the department on the next day he failed to
mention any such event. In addition to this
the department officers say they have no doubt
that if an engagement with such pronounced
results had taken place the news would have
been promptly telegraphed to the United
States instead of taking the slower course of the
mail steamers.

A Second Trial for Damares-

In the Circuit Court, Judge Cox, today the
case of Vim. Hollohan against the Washington
and Georgetown Railroad Company was placed
on trial. This is an action for $4,000
damages, by reason of being thrown
of an avenue car on May 8, 1885,
as he claims by the car starting before he could
get on it safely, BADLY bruising him, injuring
his collar bone, shoulder, &c. On former
trial a verdict was found for plaintiff for
$1,000 damages, but on the case going up on
appeal the Judgment was reversed and a new
trial granted. Messrs. X. Wise Garnet and ID.
S. Mackall appear for the complainant and
Messrs Enoch Totten and W. ID. Dayidge for
the defendant.

The Cinnamon Sentenced.

Yesterday afternoon in the Police Court after
the jury returned a verdict in the case of Sing
Lung Sung, charged with keeping disorderly
house. the liquor case was disposed Of by the
court instructing the jury to return q verdict
of not guilty
This morning the Chinaman came into court
for sentence, and Mr. Clagett in calling Judge
Miller's attention to the case said he was ready
to hear the case of Hip Wah or ''War Whoop,"
who was also charged with keeping disorderly
house.
In this case Mr. Shillington, counsel for Hip
Wah, said he desired to enter plea of guilty.
Judge Miller in disposing of the case said
that there was no doubt about the guilt of the
defendants. There were SO many of them and
being strangers they got together and naturally
tine clatter Of their voices makes great deal Of
noise, but when mixed with opium and fan-tan
it is much worse. These defendants, the Judge
said, are Woodworking men and the imposition
OF a fine would probably have better effect
than sending them TO jail.
They were each fined SIS and costs.

President Hurt Of the Washington and George

The Commissioners should add to the police

cars than you can imagine. Accidents are
bound to occur unless some restraint is put
