 timony of ohm Hardeman.
 Atlanta, Aug. 3.-A special to the Con stitution from Marietta, Ga., says that the four negroes who were arrested as result of the riot below Smyrna night before last were all brought before J. Y.

 John Hardeman, an old negro over 50 years of age, the father of Jesse Harde man, who assaulted Mrs. Robinson, was placed-on trial for assault with intent to kill
 Ills statement was in substance that he and Tom Hardeman Berry Padgett and Berry Smith had heard that Jesse Harde- man had been lynched, and were>on their way to Collins bridge over the Chatta- hoochee, at Bolton, to see if he had been hung there as reported. They had got nearly to the bridge, and becoming sat isfed that the report was not true, they turned back to go home. They met three men, one of whom was Virgil Fleming. He pointed pistol at Berry Padgett's face and another of the three pointed pistol at John Padgett and John were in the cart together They told Padgett to drive on up the road and give an &C., count of themselves. The negroes did so and met a. large crowd of armed white men. Tom Hardeman and Berry Smith were riding mules. Norris Pace walked up and ss id: Throw up your hands!' and as they did so the white men began shooting. John jumped out of the cart, fired and ran, receiving a bullet shot through his left leg.
 Hardeman was held for the action of the grand jury. Jake Thomas, another negro, was discharged. William Harde- man was held for riot No more trouble is expected at Smyrna.

T HE WHEEL.
HurtusHrrrErrurrItnrr,

Bicycling news is rather scarce here. With the president of the Birmingham Cycle club in Boston, the secretary off for Mississippi and the captain arranging for an outing in the mountains of North Carolina, there is no one here in the club to keep interest from tagging. They will all be home. soon, however, and there is no doubt Birmingham will retain her po- sition as the first bicycle town in the south
 It is gratifying to note that cycling is taking stronger hold with the ladies and to see every afternoon quite num- Der of ladies taking an outing on their wheels.
 The world moves rapidly nowadays and it is necessary to keep pedaling to keep in line.
 The Loosely Cycle company has pur- chased the entire plant of the Iron City Cycle company and will consolidate the two plants by becoming the next-door neighbor of the Age-Herald. This com pany, though not making much noise, is steadily advancing, and with this addi- tion to their already complete plant, will be better equipped for taking care of the riders than ever before.
 More people would ride bicycles if they

But his victim will get rest, anyway.
 It is not often a good rider gets fall, but when he tries to run over dog, as M. T. Stradford did, he usually remem- bers the occurrence. Strad says it was the hardest fall he ever had.
 Pride may go before a fall, but pro- fanity is apt to follow after.
 We noticed the smiling face of Billy Bunting on our streets Friday. He says he is not riding many races this season. but that he is having great success in selling bicycles. Although a resident of Florence, he is a member of the Bir- mingham Cycle cub, and he is always welcome among us. Come again, Billy. couple of ladies in a neighboring city were discussing bicycle bloomers the other day. One lady said "the shame less things only want to show their shape" quiet little matron spoke up and said she had noticed that those who condemned tihe costume most were those who had little or no shape to show.

The Patrel at Savannah.

Savannah, Ga., Aug. 3.--The steam yacht Petrel, which left New York last Saturday, and concerning whose move ments there has been some doubt, arrived here today for coal, bound for Key West and Havana. The vessel is held on ac- count of some irregularity in her officers licenses until proper officers can be se- cured. She is new vessel, completed a month ago at Peekskill. N. r., and is owned by Manuel DeTornas of New York. Her officers and crew were employed in New York to take her to Havana. Her captain states she is for the Spanish gov ernment. Her other officers say they do not know what she is for. The vessel was boarded on her arrival and thor oughly searched, but nothing contraband was found.

The apple trade of the United States

who died not long ago and who was
formerly in command of ship in which
passengers We're carried from London
to Lisbon. On one occasion, SAYS Tit
Bits, the ship caught fire and the pas
sengers and crew were compelled to
take hurriedly to the boats. The cap
tain remained perfectly cool through
out all the confusion and fright of the
debarlation, and at last everyone ex-
cept himself was got safely into the
boats
BY the time he was ready to follow
the passengers were almost wild with
fear and excitement. Instead of hur-
rying down the ladder the captain
called out to the sailors to hold on
minute, and, taking a cigar from his
pocket, coolly lighted it with bit of
burning rope which had fallen from
the rigging at his feet. Then he de-
scended with deliberation and gave the
order to push off.
How could you stop to light a cigar
at such moment%' he was asked after
ward, when some of the passengers
were talking over their escape.
Because, he answered, Il saw that
if did not do something to divert the
minds Of those in the boat there was
likely TO be a panic, and overcrowded
as it was. there was danger of the
boat being upset. The act took but a
moment, but it attracted the attention
