RECOVERING A BICYCLE.
James Pratt Hires a Wheel and Disap-

pears-The Machine Found in Boston.
Tuesday afternoon, a man giving the
name of James Pratt, called at the
store of the. Lowell Arms Company, and
called for bicycle, which he wished to
hire from 8. 30 until o'clock that-after-
noon. He was dark. accomplishment
stranger, about 80 years OF age, and said
that he was one of the crew Of the
schooner Ed Plummer, which he said
was unloading coal at the Grand
Trunk wharves. So the wheel was let to
him. At 10 o'clock last evening Mr..
VIII. Chase, manager of the Lowell
store returned from out of town, and
was told that the bicycle was still miss
ing. He at once began to explore the
wharves to find thesschaoner Ed Plum
mer. His Investigation, although con-
Quoted in the dark, convinced him that
the Ed Plumme was a mythical vessel,
and that MIR. James Pratt should be
looked after. 1t occurred to Mr. Chase
that the man might have gone on the
Boston boat, SO he at once telegraphed
to the central police station at Boston,
telling them to look out for certain BIZ
Icycle in the possession of man whom
he described as nearly as he could. The
Boston police we've prompt, and early
his morning word was received that
| hey had, captured both man and wheel.
1 is thought that the man intended to
stl the wheel, as he had only 80 cents in
hs pocket. Mr.. Albert e. Hall, who
le the wheel, went to Boston last eve
mig to identify the man. With him
wet Mr.. William Haggett, who let a
crscent wheel last spring to man an

After the conclusion of the, Toussig trial

joining lots for twenty cents foot. Henry
behring's land is between Morning street
and the,Promenade. He claims TWENTY-FIVE

thirty cents foot for that on the Prome-
made.

cannot make calculations beyond n
few months are the more anxious to
crowd as much trade as they safely
can into those months.
In some branches of distribution,
however, there are indications of a
diminishing demand for goods and the
evident preference for medium and

reduction in wages and family eX-
penditures, leads many to feel some
