THE WHEELING WORLD.

The Wheel refers to John s. Johnson as the 'Eck-straordinary Johnny"
 Tho Chicago road race ended in such a tangle that the great Decoration day event will probably be discontinued hereafter.
 Zimmerman has posted $5, 900 in an As h'Iry Park (N. J. bank for his race with Johnson, but Johnson thinks $l, 900 a side is enough money.
 In Chicago recently a plucky whcelman overlook n runawny horse drawing n bug gy, graspcd the bridls and stopped the frightened animal.
 In buying new mount the wise rider takes cIrC to keep the saddle belonging to his old wheel. A new saddle, like new friends should not supplant the old.
 Cycling does not need the matchmaker; he Is n twin brother 10 the fakir, and as such his absence k moro desirable than his presence can ever be, says The Wheel.
 It Is n remarkable fact that no rider on earth is so cOckSurc of his speed and stay ing power as the fellow of one seasons ex- pericncc who has just acquired a new bi cycle.
 That the wheel is a most remarkable ve- hicle for dispatch carrying was plainly demonstrated by the recent Chicago New York relay race. The relay riders covered -l,eeo miles in 63 hours and 53 minutes.
 The Kings County Wheolmcn will hold their fourteenth annual race meet on the new track at Manhattan Beach, Brooklyn, June %. This track is one third of mile In length and is undoubtedly the fastest and safest track in the world

BAD SON HANDICAPPED.
Coroner's Jury Declares That Miser Henry
 Assassin Is Unknown,

BROOKLYN, June 2O.-The murder of the Brooklyn miscr, Charles W. Henry, is as unCxplainable today and the interest in the mysterious tragedy is still as ab- sorbing aS it was last Friday afternoon, when Walter Henry, tho favorite son of the old man, accompanied by Policeman WclCh, broke into the house at 95 South Portland avenue and found the dead body Of his father, with 20 wounds, evidently inflicted with an ax, lying at the foot of the basement stairs.
 coroner's jury, which listened to all the testimony which the police and coun- ty prosecuting departments of Brooklyn have been able to accumulate after five days of indefatigable investigation and thcorizing, turned in a verdict that the murdered man came to his death at the hands of an unknown assassin.
 This was regarded as a vindication of William Henry, the so called bad son of the miser, and the supervisors room of the Kings county courthouse where the inquest was held, rang with applause and cheers, unchecked by Coroner Keene, who was on the bench.
 There was rumor yesterday that Wal ter Henry had run away. It was started by Police Captain Kitzer, who is always picturesque and mysterious. He said he had filled out blank subpoena for Walter in the morning and given it to his man Delehanty. At neither his residence in Flatbush nor his office in Cortlandt street. New York, could Walter be found As a matter of fact, Walter was at Ridgewood, N. J., with his wife who went there in delicate health Monday.
