'oYcLING A IITrLE roo Fast.


Some Restriction Has to be Put on the
Flyers Along the Streets--The Moment
airy Danger to Citizens.
Citizens are again complaining of the
way the bicyc.ist is flying over the
streets and rushing by street crossings
like catapult TO the imminent danger
OF citizens who have full right to
cross and who cannot help making use
of the street crossings.
People are daily put in extreme dan
ger by the carelessness OF the average
bicyclist. Many more accidents happen
than are heard of in print. 1t is true
there are some careful bicycle riders.
But it 10 notorious that the large ma
jority OF them fail to give heed to the
police rules in regard to fast riding, and
OF carrying bells, and lamps at night
time.
AS an instance of their carelessness a
bicyclist last Sunday rushed over the
gangway of the City of Chester flying
through crowd of women and very
young children who were passing over
1t into the boat. BY what looked like a
miracle he saved himself from riding
over pretty little 3-years-old fodder.
The people looking on were indignant
at the raShness of the act Certainly
had that child been hurt by the act,
which was one OF the most unnecessary
hardihood, the rider would have been
thrown into the river by the men who
witnessed and commented on the Incl.
dent.
A ridiculous accident happened few
days ago when q bicyclist literally
drove MS wheel right up the back of a
tall gentleman who had not the neces-
sary alertness TO jump out of the
cyclists way as he rang the bell, but
only when he was Immediately behind
the pedestrian. The latter was fortu-
nately for himself large and heavy
man, his avoirdupois keeping him from
being knocked down. He got a good
shaking. But the wheelman got the
worst. He and his machine took Il
terrible fall backwards, the wheel being
smashed to pieces and its rider almost
paralyzed.
Recently a very bad accident hap.
pened at Adams street and Delaware
avenue, when young lady while
crossing the street was thrown to the
ground by bicyclist who made his ap.
pearance very suddenly. The girls
head was cut across with very severe
cash, which had to be sown up. The
wheelman was thrown also. But he
picked himself up and was gone again
before he could be identified.
A fatal accident is possible of happen.
ing any day under the bal regulations
of bicycling in the city. The danger is
greatest at night time, when the flying
wheelman silently approaches the per.
son crossing the street without giving
any bell notice whatever. AS stated, il
is exceptional to see lamp on the
bicycle at night time now.
The suggestion has been made tina
every bicylist be registered and that the
number appear clearly on his lamp a
night time, ..

Thrilling Experience on the Baltimore
Central Railroad, Below Rising Sun.

Central Railroad, Below Rising Sun.
ELKToN, Nd, June 2l.-A thrilling
experience was that of Engineer Grason
and Fireman Nelson on the Baltimore
Central railroad pay train, which
passed through Rising Sun, Cecil
county, few days ago.
Below Rising Sun the railroad runs
through Srausse's cut, on the south bank
of which stands a cottage, the home of
David Maher. His o-years-old son
was on the track the day the pay train
came along and was bewildered when
the engineer gave the warning signal.
The child continued on the track, the
train running so fast that to stop il in
time to avoid fatality was impossible.
Fireman Nelson sprang through the
lookout window, ran along the foot
board and. swinging from the pilot
table, kicked the child in the forehead
and knocked it into the ditch along the
track. The train was stopped, the crew
went back and carried the limp form
into its home. The grandmother met
them and tainted at the sight of the
little one, motionless and in strange
arms. On the return trip the train
stopped and the little fellow was found
playing in the yard, ON his forehead the
mark of the tireman's shoe, made when
he kicked him over and saved his life.

view is excellent and the buildings I'M
surpassed by any on the river, which,
together with the absence of alcoholic
drinks, renders the park most desir-
able place for church or school excur-
sions. The committee Of Councils APP
