LANTERNS A NUISANCE.

On Bicycles They Leak, Go Out or
 Prevent the Rider Seing Ahead.
 Is there any need of the proposed bicycle lantern law? asked a professional gentle man who rides. Are there so many acci- dents at night that there is demand for it? It is rare that We read of such, not withstandinG the great number of riders. The proposed law will work hardship to the heelmen. and be productive of good to no one else. with the exception of the manufacturers and dealers in lanterns.
 The law will be hardship, because it IS next to impossible to keep a lamp lit very long owing to the roughness of the roads; the lamps must be carried also by day, for fear of being caught without it at nightfall; {; they are all apt to leak, esI eclally if the wheel is left on it's side. for lacking of a convenient post or fence to lean it against
 And further. as has been stated. it is more difficult to see the road plainly with d lantern than without; the constant danc- ing of the light up and down on the road renders the way difficult and is very trying to see in the dark.

He was picked up by his fel- low workmen and Dr Axtelle was sum- moned. Dr Graves called and the man was removed to his home where he was visited by the Rev Father Downey. The unfortunate man received a bad frac- ture of the skull. In the factory it was supposed that he had been killed out right. for he dropped like a man who had been pierced through the heart. It was the most serious accident that ever oc- cured in the factory in such simple and unexpt cted manhsr. Doctors Axtelle and Graves removed dozen pieces of bone from the top of the mans head. There will be a space almost four inches square where no skull can be found The scalp was drawn taut over the hole and sewed.
