the seagulls after listening to Romer's long
yarns passed the word around the harbor
that all the old shellbacKs in the service
were going into the chicken business.
Fisher used to lie in wait for Romer with
improbable stories upon poultry raising,
all of which, with q seriousness of manner
that was convincing and a glibness of
tongue that could not be gainsaid, he
poured into his victims hungry ears with
malice and forethought. Fisher, when a
boy in some vessel long since gathered to
her sisters in a forgotten boneyard, had
been the custodian of three hens and pig
imprisoned in a coop forward of the galley,
and had been authorized to forage for his
charges in the captains pantry. 1t is
needless to mention what became of the
broken bits of pudding and slices of cold
ham which he persuaded the cabin-boy
were very fattening for livestock, and
always set apart for barnyard creatures on
shore. From this experience gained be-
lore the skipper heard the sad grunts of
the ribby porker and the querulous cluck of
the neglected fowls and cut off the pantry
supplies, Sake was enabled to load Romer
up with volumes of useful information on
the subject of feathered things.
Time went by and the old mans three
years were over. He went springingly
down to the pay office and drew his money,
between eight and nine hundred dollars,
and went over the side farmward bound.
He promised the caterer of his old mess a
fat Christmas rooster, and the steam
launch took him away.
Right here in this narrative should be
placed the line of printers "stars" which
are set in stories to show that something is
left to the imagination, because between
Romer's departure from the ship and his
return two weeks after there is a blank,
and only conjecture can bridge the hiatus.
When he reshipped aboard of the 'Guardo''
he was without the big bag of clothing,

BICYCLE ORDINANCE.
Regulation OF Speed on the Streets and
the Payment of a Fee by Riders
SUGGESTED.


William T. Thornton has written to the
Board of Supervisors, complaining against
the lack of precaution taken by bicycle
riders on the principal streets of the City
and asking that an ordinance be passed
regulating speed and other incidents.
81 speak from personal experience" he
writes, "and l have talked with others,
who will indorse my statements and say
that it is an outrage on the public that a
person attempting to cross any of the
leading thoroughfares, after lodging the
numerous vehicles, cable and electric cars.
is almost certain to be run into and
knocked down by bicycle. The rider of
the bicycle gives no warning of his APP
D roach, and at night not one in hundred
attaches lantern to his bicycle. On most
every street other than the main ones the
bicycle-rider uses the sidewalk, to the ex-
clusion and terror of foot passengers, and
only deigns to use the street if it is btu
minous.
The writer recommended the passage of
an ordinance regulating the speed of
bicycles on leading streets and at street
crossings, and requiring warning note
from the rider on approaching crossing !;
also making all riders carry lights on their
BICYCLES after night and imposing a license
of So per quarter on all persons owning
and operating wheel.
The matter will come up before the
meeting of the Board of Supervisors on
Monday.

Sharp Applies for Bail.

Jacob H. Sharp. ex-administrator of the
estate of Joseph Spanier and who was recently
arrested on the charge of embezzling nearly
$4,000 from moneys of that estate, appeared
in Judge Belcher's court yesterday, accom-
panied by Attorneys Cole and Levy, to apply
for bail. Attorney Cole made an eloquent plea
own recognizance, or falling that, for less than
$500. He cl aimed that Sharp had come vol
UNFAIRLY from New York to stand trial. Judge
Belcher denied the motion to permit the prls.
oner to go, on his own recognizance, but said
he was willing to accept the suggestion OF the
District Attorney as to reasonable amount OF
bail. The usual amount for the offense OF which
Sharp was accused was $4,000. The matter
will come up this week.

SUICIDE OF A BLACKSMITH.
Hanged Himself in st. Luke's Hospital
While Temporarily Insane.

Charles T. Hoyt, a blacksmith whose
home was at 1902 Mission street, COM
mitted suicide in st. Luke's Hospital yes
terday. He was admitted to the institu-
ton on the 18th inst. suffering from melan-
cholia. He developed symptoms of in
sanity, and was to be sent to the Napa
Asylum tomorrow.
About 10 A. NJ. yesterday Hoyt was seen
in his room by one of the hospital physici-
ans. Fifteen minutes later when the
matron attempted to get into the room she
found the door locked. 1t was forced, and
Hoyt was found hanging against the wall
by rope attached to the window-frame.
He was at once cut down, and, as life was
not quite extinct, the hospital staff went to
work on him. They spent an hour and a
half attempting to recuscitate him, and then
gave him up.

He Was Little. but Oh. NV.

A small dog wned by Lee Mcconnell
of 125 South Broadway caused lot of e1-
citement on Spring street yesterday after
noon in front of Germains drug store.
The canine is Scotch terrier, and while
his master was away kept guard under
the wagon and amused himself and
those at distance by biting the legs OF
the male passers-by. The women he let
alone, only tho summer trousers of the
males possessing any fascination for him.
Whether it was an acquired adherence
OF women or fondness for pants. could
not be learned. as none of the local army
of bloomer girls happened to pass while
he was holding forth, so there was no
temptation thrown in his way.
He succeeded in biting the trousers OF
about seven people, among them being
the following: Thomas Foster, George
Cooper, J. Barringer and Mr.. Schultz.
Some of these received scratches, but
none were seriously hurt. Officer Tyler
went after the dog, but the animal had
disappeared when the officer arrived. Mr..
Mcconnell was arrested and will be tried
today on charge of keeping a vicious

Gardner Had a Loving Heart

John \. Gardner. the one-legged man
who claimed tu have crossed the conti-
nent after long-lost love only to find
that a cruel joke had been played upon
him, was before Justice Morrison vest er-
day on a charge of having disturbed the
peace.
Several days ago Gardner spoke to the
10'year-old daughter OF Mrs. G. L. Cass
and told the child that he had left his
wife in the east, but that his heart was
chuck full of love for someone. The lit
tie girl was sitting in Central park.
Gardner asked if he could not visit her
mother, who lives at 627 West Fourth
street, and the child gave him the ad-
dress and said he might. When Mr..
Gardner called, though, he was told that
his room was not nearly SO abhorrent as
his company, and to get out. He has
also been begging on North Main street,
and when Mrs. Cass complained to Officer
Baker he lost no time in placing the one
legged man with the overhowlng heart
behind the bars.
After hearing the testimony Justice
Morrison took the case under advisement
until today.

pany's dock took fire at p. m. The fire
spread to the warehouse of the Anchor
Line and the freight sheds of the Wis
consin Central. Many freight cars are
burning. The fire is spreading with fear
full rapidity before gale from the south
west. 1t now looks as If West Water
street may be swept up to Grand avenue.
The warehouses of the Union Steamboat
and Anchor Line are gone, also the freight
sheds of the Wisconsin Central. The
freight yards are full of blazing cars. The
John Pritzlaff Hardware com panys house
has Just taken fire and the immense es
tablIshment seems doomed. Steamers
and sailing vessels are being moved from
the docks along the West Water street
front and 1t is believed tho fire will reach
the Milwaukee river in the lower Fourth
ward before it can be checked. The fac
tory of the Delaney Oil and Grease COM
pany was burned and the Rundle-Spence
company's plumbing fixture establish
ment is now burning. The fire is work,

by the Chicago. Milwaukee and st. Paul
railway, as were the docks comprising
1000 square feet. The railway officials
claim that there was very little freight
in the warehouses and but thirty-five cars
burned. but shippers AMI brokers are
preparing claims for thousands of barre4s
of -four, sugar. oil and general merchan-
disc, which will probably aggregate over
$780, 900. The total loss by the fire will
be nearly $780, 600. The loss of the Wiscon-
sin Central Railway company on the
freight house No. and contents and
about eighteen freight cars is estimated
