BICYCLE VERSUS HORSE.
johnny Casey Has a Terrible
Breakdown.
He Rode Bicycle Down Fifteen Steps Last
Night and Now Prefers an Equine
Steed.

That well-known horsemaD, all-round
sport and politician, Johnny Casey, is badly
broken up. There he lies at his residence,
corner of Octavia and McAllister streets,
and does not exactly know how much OF
him is broken and how much sound.
1t all happened this way. There are few
frequenters of the park who do not know
of Casey's equestrian abilities. Short.
stocky and powerful. he sits horse in firm
but grand, unthrowable sort Of style.
Many of his admirers allege that the
widest buck jumper would fail In any at
tempt to part with the redoubtable Johnny
unless he lay down and actually rolled over.
SO while Casey stuck to his horses and
equestrian exercise he was just about as safe
as any man taking desperate daily chances
in the park could well expect to be.
Unfortunately for Casey, however. some
economical though probably well-meaning
friend whispered In his ear that times were
bad, corn bills disproportionately large, and
that iron horses once bought could not eat
their heads off. Johnny listened attentive
w. and in an evil moment was per suaded 10
purchase bicycle and practice the riding
of IT, He sold his favorite steed and In
vested the proceeds In new pneumatic
tired dream OF veloeipedic beauty on the
ball bearing and installment principle.
For the past month Casey has been prac-
ticing the riding of his metallic steed, and
with such apparent success that he has be-
come to consider himself a postmaster in
the balancing art His friends, and they
are legion, all told him that he was, and
that bicycle exercise would do him much
more good than equine. Johnny thinks
very differently low.
Last evening he had been for his usual
spin in the park at a three-minuie gait, and
was returning home sailing gently down the
center of McAllister street. All in a
sudden he felt that his velocity was in
creasing at an undesirable rate. He wanted
TO stop. Shouted "WhoaH but his steed
took no notice Of his cries.
As his home appeared in sight he again
cried whoa, there!' and, as he says,
tried to pull the beggar's blooming head
off," Bump! bffl bang! jolt! and jerk,
down went Johnny, bicycle and all down
fifteen steps into neighboring basement
When the crowd found him it was some

and which the wheel, in such hopeless
mass of intricate ENHANCEMENT they lay.
Finally they got the br0ken-dOwn sport to
bed. 1t will be many days before he Will be
the same old sport as of yore. He says he

now whether he would give any answer this
morning.
'Ex-Judge Sullivan was kind OF cap

swer to question as to who formed the
party.
The examination dragged drearily along
for over an hour, during which the latest
minutes of the party were read, which
showed that the convention was not filed

primaries.
The proceedings degenerated into roar
ing farce till shortly before the commission
adjoGrned. :,
Just before the close Attorney Swift said
that their minutes were incomplete, because,
unlike those of the regular Democratic
party, there was no talk Of hanging.

there were not enough in the party to pull

Then Attorney Dorm asked for heading

NEWS FROM THE ISLANDS.
The Schooner Equator Back
From the Gilberts.
The Moptserrst Slaves Were Glad to Leave
the Island When They Understood
the Conditions.

The schooner Equator, Captain Wilson,
arrived here yesterday from the Gilbert
Islands after ftty-four days voyage. The
Equator was at the islands when the Mont
serrat was on her alleged "blackbirding"
trip. and also when the Islands were an
nexed by the British.
II seems from the statement of Captain
Wilson, who was seen by CALL reporter
last night, that the annexation was brought
about by the intentions Of the SLAYER. The
British man-of-war did all in her power TO
prevent slavery, and it now seems as if the
people are safe 10 return TO their island
home as they are English subjects. Efforts
were made to get a case against the Mont
seTrat, hut after the islands were annexed
to Great Britain that vessel complied with
all the requirements OF the law. She was
also made to comply with the English law
Of passengers and tonnage" and could not
take more than half as many blacks as she
intended.
The treatment of the people by the Mont
serTat was highly spoken OF by Captain
Wilson He says many OF them were on
the point Of starvation and the chance TO
leave the island was a welcome one alter
they were made to understand the condi-
tions. They were simply offered work and
if they wanted it they took 1t. ii not, they
remained at home. The people on the YES
sci we're not allowed 10 mlSrepresent the
case TO the islanders.
1t is said that laborers are badly wanted
in Guatemala and that enormous wages are
paid to white men.
The second fencing exhibition on board
the French man-of-war Dubourdieu was
given yesterday afternoon at about 3
O'clock. 1t was much more successful than
the previous one, as Professors Trochet
and Ansot had an opportunity of preparing
themselves. The officers OF the warship
were loud in their praises of the swordsmen.

HIS Information Obtained From the
Third street Saloon.
In Judge Coffey's court last night the
alleged suffer, Frank Ii. Lambert. was
held to answer to the charge of perjury in
connection with Illegal registration and the
bonds we're fixed at $1,000.
George Jones, the colored man who was
arrested for perjury in registering, imme-
diately after being released was brought up
for examination and after some little EVIL
dence had been taken the case was con-
tinued till O'clock to-day.
The cases of Ennis and Malley, charged
with the same offense, were also put over TIL
10 day.
A. ]. Clunie then made a statement with
regard to the warrants said by the Chronicle
to have been withheld by him and claimed
that as he was acting as District Attorney
in the cases he had a full right to do so.
He explained that he objected to placing
the warrants in the hands of the Sheriff, but
offered to place them in the hands of the
court.
Then he called Carroll Cook to the stand
ard kept him there for three-quarters of an
hour under close fire of examination as to
when he obtained information as TO the
warrants.
