bonds over to Lewis, who would forge
the name of the county commissioners

then hypothecate the bonds.

bonds have been out at one time.

Army Officer Ends His 9,OOO-Mile
Bicycle Tour.
New York, Sept. 17.-First Lieut.. G. W.
Stevens, OF the First Artillery, U. s. A,
stationed at Fort Hamilton, arrived In
New York last evening from bicycle tour
ordered by Major General Miles, and this
morning reported at headquarters On Gov
ernor Island.
The lieutenant, who has ridden about
1900 miles during the present year, started
out on September to ascertain the condl-
ton of certain roads for bicycle messen-
gers, and the moving of troops in case of
inability to use the railroads.
His trip took in Philadelphia, Wilmington,
Washington, Mount Vernon and a portion
of the roads out toward the shenandoah val
ley, in all covering about 500 miles. He
was on the road only ten days of the time,
two days of the time having been spent in
Philadelphia, one in Wilmingt ton, and two
in Washington.
Between here and Philadelphia the roads
were in excellent condition. Beyond VIII
mington they were very poor. He tray-
eled 248 miles coming from Washington,
taking two days, thirty hours of which were
on the road and twenty-three hours on the
wheel the seven hours in which he was not
on the wheel being taken for meals or in
walking where the roads were too heavy
for riding.

given to the Secretary yesterday its con-
tents have not been made public.
