NO STATE LAW.

wheeImen Are Not Compelled to Carry
 Lamps Bells on Their BIeJ cles
 There is no law in this state requiring bicyclists to carry lamps and bells upon theIr machines. Ordinances have been enacted, however, in several cities and towns, requiring such precautions. ~ An attempt was made several years ago tC have such law passed, but it was con sidered wiser to class bicycles with other vehicles. Such a law, except ip the largest cities, is unnecessary.
 In New York recently more stringent laws have been passed, but the condi- tions there are different.
 Colonel Burdett, president of the L. A. w., stated recently that it is the en' deavor of members of the league to re gard such matters as a duty which they owe the public. Complaints arise from the action of few reckless wheelmen, but the great majority respect the leniency which is shown them in thIs regard. Moreover the general polict regulations in regard to fast and reck less driving cover bicycle riding also.

WRECK ON THE NEW ENGLAND.

A Tall End Collision This Morning
 Caused by a Conduetor's cArslsssness.
 A tail end collision occurred on the New England road at about 5 o'clock this morning one mile west of Bristol at the point known as the rock cut. The fast freight from New York, running at the rate of Ihirty-fiv miles an hour, ran in- to a special freight of thirty-five cars. Both trains were east bound. The special was running slowly toward the Bristol freight yard, preparatory to dropping a car with goods consigned to Bristol. There was no fiagman out to warn the approaching freight and the latter crashed into the rear of the special. The locomotive of the express was badly damaged and the cAboose Of the speclal was totally demolished. Several cars were derailed. No one was injured. A wrecking train was sent down from Hartford and the tracks were clear shortly after Q o'clock. Traffic was de. layed nearly four hours. The blame of the accident rests on the conductor of the special freight in not Tagging the fast freight.

 NAUaATUCR. July 14.-It Ia very for tunate for our merchants as well as employees of different concerns, that the Glove company, Hosiery company, Malleable works, Box shop and other factories are not indulging in a shut down of even a few weeks.

THE uNoERrA1NrY OF pUNIsaMENr.

The New York Assembly, by a vote of
four tc one. passed a bill repeating the
death penalty, a few days since, and the
Senate, in turn. rejected the Assembly's
bill by a still more emphatic vote. The
Assembly discussed the question at
length, those opposing the death penalty
taking the ground that it does not deter
the commission of the crime of murder.
Those opposing repeal took the ground
that the treatment of men convicted of
murder in the fret degree and under
life sentence had the effect to put muir
der on a level with other crimes, and
consequently to deprive human life of
the ~sacredness which, in properly or
ganized society, attaches to it. There is
a great deal in this. If the SEN
tence of the murderer could be
for life, beyond question. and he
could be excluded from association
with lesser criminals. thus making MUIR
crimes, imprisonment for life would do.
But imprisonment for life has come to
mean for q term of years. which are
long or short according as the offender
has friends or can control money. The
crime obliterated by the Intervention of
years, the victim forgotten, friends find
e~xtenuatinR circumstances, petitions are
filled with the names of goOd-natured
people, and a sort of sympathy is worked
up for the murderer. The lawyer whose
skill could moi secur acquittal is able to
convince an executive, and in half or
two.shirds the cases men under life
sentences for murder walk out of
prison with the implied vindica-
ton which the official paper of
the executive pardon carries, to mingle
again in society. In a case just before
the executive the statement is made
that his accomplish was pardoned sew
eral years ago, and in view of that cit
was thought only just to the other to
pardon him." The reason that murders
are SO much more frequent, and hat a
brawl calls forth deadly weapons is that
the increasing inadequacy of the pun
ishment for murder has made the taking
of human life little more than an Ordi-
nary Crime

very important bearing upon the bust
ness of the city. To deny the privilege
while granting it to other cities would
be tn make a serious discrimination
against the business of indianapolis.
If there had been no vigorous and ex-

if the concession would have been made
or if any influential movement could
have been organized to secure an i'm

Its membership the business and in
dustry of the whole city.
