engineer, fireman and baggage master OF

begiring of the inquest. The first witness
called was Daniel Waters, brother to
| Thomas Waters, who testified that it was
the habit of the dead man to walk on the
railroad track, he very often getting up ear
ly in the morning and taking a walk on the
| track before breakfast. lie said Thomas
was a straight forward fellow and of good
habits, and a man of about 80 years of age,
and very hard of hearing. Mr. Longfellow
book keeper at Bradstreet's office testified
that he heard the signals of danger their be-
ing several sharp short blasts by the whistle.
The testimony of the witnesses Burns, An
drews, Mulhern and a nephew of the dead
man, was all very similar, several having
seen him on the track and signaled to him
to get off. to which he paid no attention.

with his head bent down and did not notice

the engine probably first struck his feet,
which threw him into the air and he fell
on the flag pole on the front of the engine
and hung by his CLOTHING in which position
he was found. Fireman Stratton
testified about as above. Conductor
of the affair was the whistle and he imme-
diately went out on the platform and looked
ahead. He said the train probably went
twice its length before it stopped Other
witnesses were examined who only corrobO-
rated the statements of the others. As

. Victor Flyers as Usual in the Van. -

Cycling has become such universal pas
time as well as healthful recreation and
business cxpsdient that some of the largest
workshops in the country are devoted to the
manufacture of the modern vehicle. But
there is only one establishment in the United
States in which an entire machine is made,
including the steel parts, Heather work rubber
tires, nick le-pl4ting, tools, ETC., and on this
account nicely of adjustment, sm0othness of
bearing, ightness and strength are insured
all of which are essential elements in perfect
wheel. This great factory is located at Chico
pee Falls, Mass, and bears the name of the
Oyerman Wheel Company, familiar to eye
lists the world over. This company intro
duced the safety bicycle in America, and
on that account as well as by reason of
superlative merit 1.-The Victor" has steadily
held first place in popular favor. 1t is uni
versally preferred because its makers are
known to be masters of improved con-
struction. The "Victor Flyer" has I'M
doubleday attained the highest plane of per
lection. The Overman Company has the
handsome exhibit in the balcony of the
Transportation building at the Worlds
Fair. This exhibit is built mainly of solid
mahogany, deliberately carved and orna-
mented with gold 1t TAR surpasses any
other display in this department, was de-
signed by one of Boston's best architects
and built by the most artistic cabinet max
er of that city. The display of "Victor'
machines here is attracting the at
tention of all wheel-men, as well
as the notice of thousands of young
men and women who hope and expect to
become expert riders. The company has
issued an elegantly printed and embossed
'Victor" catalogue for 1898 covering every
feature of their splendid machines, as well
as cycling in general The work is as fine
as the printers art can make it, and gives
much useful, valuable, and interesting in
formation. Visitors to the exhibit can OBJ
tain copies of this catalogue on request.
1.-The Victor" fully deserves its high repu-
tation for the reason that it is made with
as much skill and care as the finest piece
of mechanism. The vast factories built by
the Messrs- Overman were intended ex-
pressly and solely for its manufacture, and
with the express object in view of turning
out the best and highest grade bicycles in
the world.-Chicago Inter Ocean, May 81,

SUMNER PROBLEMS.

Civilifies Between Newcomers and Resi-
dents In the Country.
People who take a house in the country
for the summer should consider the ques-
ton of pleasant neighbors, unless they
bring sufficiently large party to entertain
themselves or desire only quiet and rest. 1t
may be asked, Nv hat is n pleasant neigh
borhood?" 1t is one where newcomers for
the summer months are cordially received,
where few houses are let to strangers, and
where there is a circle OF country neighbors
glad of any re-elforcements from without
not too fashionable and exclusive to hold
aloof from whatever society is to be had.
lntroductions are seldom brought by
newcomers to country people-indirectly
they are occasionally made by mutual
friends-but the fact of taking house for
certain number of months induces the
immediate neighbors to call at once These
inform the more distant ones of the advent
of the new arrivals; thus they are speedily
launched into the society of the place. The
world is so small that every ones position
and standing become known in an incredi-
bly, short space Of time, and all take their
place accordingly, seeing much or little of
the neighbors, as the case may be.
lue preliminary CiNlilty aIler u HrSt call
Usually takes the form Of an invitation to
afternoon tea or to a tennis party. Invita-
lions to dinner or luncheon follow later,
when the acquaintance has progressed, but
in the country tea and tennis parties are far
more frequent THIN any other form of hos
Vitality.
a deadlock often occurs in the social tide
Of aifairs-after call has been made and
returned, for instance, neither being "at
home" in each case. What is the next
mover" is the query. If they meet in pub
lie and know each other by sight, ought
they to speak or bow or to do nothing at ALI
1t is very awkward for one stranger to ad-
dress another, but if possible it should be
attempted. and the call paid should form
the subject oi the opening remark.
Another problem that provokes hesita-
ton and consideration IL whether the
newcomer or the country resident should
lake the initiative in the matter of a first In
yitation. As a rule, the latter generally
does 50, but also, as a rule, it is the new
conner who is more prone to hospitality on
more accounts than one, a bigger balance at
his bankers perhaps and consequent will
