A ST.. LOUIS bicyclist left his wheel
sitting beside the curbstone while he
went into business house. A bake
ran over the wheel and smashed it.
When the bicyclist came out and saw
his wheel in ruins he proceeded to
pummel the baker. and afterwards
sued him for damages, getting judg-
ment for 1888. The case created
great deal of interest, as the defense
set up was that a bicycle is not We
hicle and has no rights on the street.
According to the verdict of the court
the bicycle has rights on the street.
and the person who maliciously
smashes up wheel does so at his
peril.

His WIFE AssAULTED.-Another
case of brutal trea tment is reported as
having taken place in Lunenburg, and
this time Peter OFT, of New York,
claims to be the victim. OFT claims
that he purchased from Joseph Frank,
of New York, farm of forty acres in
Lunenburg county, and after making
partial payment left the farm in Lun-
enburg and went back to New York,
leaving his wife and child on the farm.
He claims that Wed Hardy and Chas.
Break assaulted his wife and threaten
ed to shoot her if she should make re-
sistance. The postmaster at Watts
boro and two freehoiders went to the
assistance of the woman with loaded
guns, and Mrs. OFT had to leaye her
house and take I'D her residence with
Mrs. BURNER in the neighborhood. OFT
claims that he owed Hardy small sum
of money and paid him part of it, when
the man took his cow, some money
and all his household goods, which ex.
ceeded in value the amount due three
times over. Wattsboro is the same
place where John Dern, the German,
was alleged to have been brutally
treated and threatened with death.
Dearn's story it was afterward learn.
ed was canard, and it is believed that
Otis will also prove to be untrue.

THE G. F. &Y. V. R. R.-It is stated
that many holders Of the Cape Fear and
Yadkin Valley Railroad bonds have
signifed their intention of asserting to
the plan proposed by the reorganiza-
ton committee. 1t is understood that
at the regular meeting of the committee
tomorrow the date will be fixed for a
general bondholders' meeting to con-
slider the plan. Some comment was
occasioned by those interested in the
bonds by the action of the New York
committee representing the series A
bonds in requesting holders to refrain
from signing the proposed plan. Friends
of the plan say that any divisional re-
organization will be disastrous to all
the bondholders and especially so to
the B and G series. Attention is also
called to the fact that the New York
committee has prepared petition to
be filed in court in which it is alleged
that the interests of the A bondholders
may be hostile to the interests of both
the B and G bonds.

FOUND NO BURIED TREAsURE.-John
Dehayen's sixty three acre farm, locat.
ed near this city, together with stock and
implements, was disposed of yesterday
at public auction by Auctioneer R. F.
Knox, Mr.. Louis @. Barley being tho
purchaser. Dehaven, when he bought
the property, was under the impression
that gold could be found on it. He was
also told that quantity of money was
buried there. As result the whole
farm is filed with large holes and pits,
which will have to be filed up by the
present owner. Dehaven will go back
to his old home in Pennsylvania. De-
haven and Lewis Boswell are great
friends, and it is said that the latter was
responsible for Dehaven contracting
the gold fever, he having. with the aid
of a pack of cards, ''located" the gold.
DehaYen was member of the Eighty
eighth Pennsylvania regiment which
performed guard duty in this city IN
1861.

Cleveland Company made the big tanks

pany claim that the Cleveland COM
pauy did not fulfill its contract in max
ing the tanks, as they are not suffi-
GENTLY strong to Withstand the great
pressure needed. They, however, ex-
pressed willingness to settle upon the
terms of the contract when complied
with. The Cleveland company con-
tested this claim and levied an attach
ment to secure the amount due on the
tanks-upwards of $4,000. An appeal
has been taken from the decision of the

MARRIAGE AT THE STATION HOUSE.
An ebony-colored female named Es-

yesterday and swore out warrant
against q man of her own color named
Charles Green, charging him with
promising to marry her at various
times during the past seven years and
Of being responsible for her straying
from the paths of rectitude. The &C.
cused was arrested last night and this
morning brought into the Police Court.
The girl told plausible story which
was corroborated by witnesses. Green,
however, when put upon the stand,
said he had no recollection of any of
the occurrences described by the prose-
cutrix. 1t seems that he has lately
become attached to another woman
and is engaged to marry her on
Christmas. The court gave Green his
choice-either to marry the woman or
go on to the grand jury. He concluded
to take the former course and license
