"Llew-y- -Bryn" is the best informed
man in Providence and no one enters or
departs from this world, so far as that
section Is concerned, without the know
ledge of Tom Jehu. All the wit and tai
ent meet at his store to decide the mo-
mentous questions of the day. As a bus
mess man the "Llew' has original ideas
Of his own creation, and they have
made him wealthy man. He is also
the general advisor of his people in
Providence, and clients flock to him for
advice in everything from a toothache
to benefit concert. As a poet his lines
have been famed away to gallant lit

Ex-Mayor LOTUS was an Interested
spectator in court yesterday. His hair
and beard are now snow white, but his
frame is as ample as in the days when
he ruled this city as its chief executive
and earned the right to have his por-
trait adorn the wall of our beautiful
city nall. In those days Scranton had
more of the wild and Woolly flavor
about II than is now discernable and
the mayor was at times compelled to
adopt heroic measures when the small
force of policemen at his disposal was
not sufficient to keep in check the law

crop out in the suburbs. Mr.. Lotus at
present divides his time between
Moosic, where his family resides. and
the town of LOTUS, Va, which has been
NAMED after him
John r. Farr is hustling around the
FIRST legislative district to remind his
friends that Nov. 6, like Christmas, is
coming. He is quick and earnest in
movements and speech, and easily inn
presses and enthuses his au-
ditors. He is very proud and de-
servedly so, of his little bill' for free
education, which he piloted through the
legislature. He was active in the
bridges campaign" and has made a
resolve that Hyde Park shall have a
hospital of its own. Time will prove
that farr and success are SYNONYMOUS.

A STOLEN BICYCLE RECOVERED.
A Young Man Arrested on Suspicion
Claims He Bought 1t for IS.

The fourteenth of September a bicycle
was stolen from the rear of the post office,
at about O'Clock in the evening. 1t was
a Victor machine, the property of John Il.
johnson, special delivery messenger.
Nothing was heard of the bicycle until
yesterday afternoon. Mr.. Johnson was on
the Eastern Promenade near the Coburn
Cadets camp when he saw his lost wheel
ridden by stranger. He followed the man
and soon had him arrested and taken to the
police station, where he gave the name of
Earnest G. Knight. He is about nineteen
years old. He claims that he bought the
bicycle three weeks ago of a man on Fore
street for So.
There is a little incident in regard to this
bicycle. When Mr.. johnson bought it of E..
s. Pendexter he had it insured against
theft OF accident. But he allowed the in
surance to lapse by not paying the
premium. Of the bicycles in this city,
similarly insured his was the only one that
was stolen. About year ago Mr.. johnson
had another wheel stolen from the same
place.

assistant, Mr.. HoIlingshead, of the Grand
Trunk system. and Roadmaster. Stewart of
this division, accompanied by Chief Hanna
ford's private secretary, arrived here yes
terday on tour of inspection of the track
and bridges. An official Grand Trunk in
spection is very thorough thing, and the
party came here from Island Pond by the
help of hand cars. The boss of each
section sent the party forward to the next
section. Particular attention was given to
the bridges along the line, although the
track was not neglected. needed directions
being given to each section boss.
This making the tour of inspection on
hand cars, is not new thing, that being a
favorite method of seeing the track with

markable, will then come.on. 1t will be
followed by the 22O trot, which will
bring in a greater field of horses than
ever before assem- bled in Maine In ad-
dition to this will be the time records
already mentioned.
But more important and interesting
than this will be the starting OF Nelson
to beat his record of 200, made at Rigby
last year. He expects to beat Directum's
2.0S IA made at Rigby last week.

price, whether one comes in the morn

THE BOYD CLAIM.
The Committee and Major Boyd Come to
Terms.

Some years ago it will be remembered that
the city made a contract with Major Chas.
S. Boyd, the city to be allowed to take
gravel from his lots on Sheridan street.
provided that the city grade up the lots
after taking the gravel. SO that no injury
should result to the property. The CITY
took the gravel but it has been claimed by
Major Boyd that it failed to fulfil its part
of the contract, and that the property was
badly..injured in consequence.
Yesterday afternoon this claim for
damage done to fifteen lots on Sheridan
street, estimated at $4,000. came before the
committee on claims. The committee ad-
justed the matter with Major Boyd on the
following conditions: The city agrees to pay
the Major $3.50, the fifteen lots to be
decided to the city. This is very favorable
settlement because the city will be !. able
not only to get more ground, but to dispose
of the lots at later date at good prices.
