The New York Sun Of yesterday. In
speaking Of the probability of the nomina-

the personal friends of the ex-Nice- Presi-
dent and not from himself. There is no

The most significant utterances yet are
those OF General Tracy to-day. He. with
Mir. Morton, was part OF the Harrison adj
minstration. They are close friends and
are I'm constant communication. Mr.. Nor

treated by the Minneapolis Convention
which gave Benjamin Harrison a renomi-
nation and left Mr.. Morton of the ticket

PRECIPITATION.
On. WHEA7'S NERVE.
He Cuts on Three Joints OF His Own Fin
ger. One at Time.

Dr. Lewis Wheat, who has suffered
greatly from blood poison in his hand
and arm, caused by an accident while
performing a surgical operation several
weeks ago. Is now in a fair way TO rapid
recovery after losing the entire index
finger Of his left hand.
Shortly after his accident he was or
dered To the country 10y DR.. McGuire
where he might have quiet and rest. He
went to Essex and while there his finger
became SO bad that he saw amputation
was Inevitable. and. with almost unparal-
leled nerve and stoicism. performed the
operation himself. taking off the first
turned to the city, and, his hand rapidly
growing worse and the disease making
still further encrOaChments. he amputated
the second Joint Of his finger.
When DR. Mcclure called to see him
he found him prepared for the still more
serious operation Of taking off the finger
below the main Joint. he having selected
the proper instruments and cut open the
hand TO make the proper examination.
DR.. Mcclure performed the last opera
ton. and the danger is now thought TO
be passed.

WITH NE WHEELMEN.
The Suffolk Annual Meet-An Aluminium
Bicycle

The annual bicycle meet at Suffolk
this year promises to be the largest ever
held in Virginia
A number Of Richmond riders will at
tend and several OF them are entered for
the events. The date is Thursday, Au-
gust "a.
1t has been predicted for several years
that aluminium would revolutionize the
manufacture of bicycles, but the reduc-
ton of weight by using less metal and a
better quality of it. has so far seemed 10
obviate the necessity of a lighter ma
terial. but the search for light weight
has sacrificed something of strength. and
aluminium is yet likely 10 be largely
used 10 give the needed strength with
the lightness sought for.
MIR. Walter G. Mercer has the first
oluminum bicycle ever brought 10 this
city. and II Will prove OF interest TO all
wheelmen.
The machine weighs twenty-four
pounds. a weight not much less than the
average bicycle Of the day, but il is
claimed that great strength has been
secured.
The proposed restrictive ordinances in
regard 10 bicycles are the theme of
wheelmen wherever they meet The
wheeimen generally express themselves
IN favor of regulations against reckless
riding. but look on the proposed prohibit
uon OF the parks as an unwarranted
ana marsh measure, to say nothing of the
legal question involved as to the right OF
bicycle whichever vehicles are allowed.
