HOT FIGHT Is ANTICIPATED.

When the Maupin Bill Comes Up Be-
fore the House Wednesday.

Richmond, Va, Feb. Cha airman Diggs
OF the house committee on Counties, cities
and towns, which recently turned down the
Maupin anti-gambling bill and decided to
report favorably the Pitcher racing bill with
the amendments of Representative Retdy of
Richmond, has been hard at work with
Vice-Chairman OF the Committee Newberne
OF Norfolk county, preparing IA minority
report to be submitted to the house next
Wednesday in regard to the racing question.
Messrs. Diggs and Newberne are both in
favor of the passage of the Maupin BILL
and do not agree with the report OF the COM
mittee which cOuntenances gambling In the
State. II is understood that the minority
rep ort will consist practically of the
recommendation of the Maapin bill. Messrs.
Diggs and Newberne were not present at
the meeting of the Committee when the
Maupin bill WAS turned down.
Lively times are expected in the house
next Wednesday when the Maupn bill
comes up. II is wcll known that the
ma jority in the house favor the measure,
and a hot fight against the report OF the
committee is looked for.
During the past week the most vigorous
protests against the passage OF a racing
bill that Will permit gambling have been
made from all parts OF the State, and the
Virginia newspapers have been full of com
munications warning the legislature not to
pass gambling measure. All This it is
believed. has had u powerful effect. ana in
spite of everything that has been said
to the effect that the Ma aupin bill was
killed when it was recomniitted.
Many prominent members or the house
say now that the tide is turning in
favor of the anti-gambling measure, and
that il will he passed by the house.

Wheels in the Brain
That Invented Them.
Bicycles Strange and Wonderful that 'e6
Has Brought Fourth.

That cycling has taken n hold upon
Parisians not much less in ifs strength
than in Greater New York is evidenced by
the fact that more than 70 900 visitors in
spected the recent exhibit at the Palais de
fIndustrie during the fourteen days OF its
duration. The attendance at the recent
show, under the auspices of the Cycle
Board OF Trade, at Madison Square Garden,
furnished n notable comparison of public
interest in the wheel between the two
great cities.
The Paris bicycle exposition was the
third which that city has enjoyed. and
there, as here, interest centered in the in
gcnious gears and contrivances with which
busy inventors had endeavored to meet the
multipleX demands of touring and racing
wheelmen and wheelwomen. In these is
shown strikingiy the wonderful progress
in the development of the two-wheeled
vehicle.
For none of the recent inventions is
claimed greater success than for the col
lapsiblc, por,a BILE '.Bicyclette." The time
its promoters claim, is not far off when
one OF these ingeniously constructed ma
chnes will constitute as common Part
uf mans or woman's outfit as watch
or POCKET huiie.
SOME FRENCH INvEN TIONs.
The competition bet ween French and for
eign constructors is growing more intense
with the enurmous demand for bicycles.
This has caused the Introduction of very
desirable improvement during the past
year in tubes, pedals, frames, and in the
pcrfectiou of the pneumatic tire.
Among the many innovations OF 1886 at
the Paris exposition worth studying is
the "Acatene" bicycle. Mechanics will
point out that the angle pinion of chain
less gear causes considerable friction, hut
the Acatenc is of solid bui.d, and has been
proven a success. II affords direct trans
mission of power from the large sprocket
To the small pinion through n shaft,
which is adjustable. The gears are pro-
tccted by cases, which may be filled with
any lubricant
Another chainless wheel is the "Cyclet."
invented by NJ. S Jrzewiccki The oh.
jectionabie feature of the machine as
shown is the awkward position OF the
pedals, which causes discomfort to the
rider. This defect will undoubtedly be
renedied by the inventor.
MULTIPLEX GEAR.
The "Decbainee" OF Rouart Brothers, by
which a nIultipeX gcar is used on the
axle of tie rear wheel, is based almost on
the same principle. but few people like
these fragile and awkwarC-.ookinG levers.
The ''Cbarmeuse' has multiplcx gear
The morning times., 1896-02-02

on the sprocket, with the power carried by
| levers to the rear hub. In this there is
| too much friction, and consequently tine
gear is Liable 10 be too frequently cut Of
| order.
A curiosity is the "Funiculaire." Here
is rope ard pulley gear. in which tension
| wheel figures largely, placed in the
center of the rear lower tube of the
| frame.
Among the machines which are con-
structed with the object OF obtaining a
change OF speed, so much desired by BIZ
cyclers, in hilIy and mountainous regions.
it looks as if the Cleveland bicycle is
the most practicable. The illustration here
with conveys practically the working of
this mechanism.
The changeablc movement of the "lIet-
ropnle'' is based absolutely on the same
principle as the Cleveland. These two
| wheels only differ in the disposition of their
paris and the manner in which they en-
gage each other.
THIS HAS DEFECTS.
The "Gladlator" is also built with the
object of Il changeable movement. Here
the four small gears are replaced by an
eccentric, a little more complicated, but
producing the same results. There is pos
sible danger Of the lever bending and break
ing frequently.
number OF forms are shown which aim
to protect the rider from breakage or
serious accidents. The .Verdot' contri-
vance deserves special mention. II has
an extra brace, connecting at the bearing
and at the steering bar. II the fork it.
self breaks the extra truss is Intended
10 save the bicyclist from header. The
Normal fork consists of two tubes with
ont a bracing. 1t is solid, but bulky.
Scveralmodels of collapsahic bicycles were
exhibited in the solon du Cycle. These
wheels are thus far only desirable from
a military point of view, as il is consid-
cred too laborious task for ordinary
riders TO take them apart and put them
together. Other wheels are arranged so
that they eau be transferred into tandems
by adjusting a middle piece, comprising
seat, steering bar, and pedal.
COLLAPsABLE WHEEL.
One military inventor has produced col
lapsable bicycle, with q straight-spoked
wheel. He has equipped company of his
regiment with them, and recent maneuvers
have demonstrated that soldier can march
very easily with such a machine, carrying
IL on his shoulders where it is impossible
to ride and mounting it whenever the roads
are cyclable.
This wheel, the Gerard" is only an
experiment. and its inventor expects en-
couragement from the War Department, but
1t is far from perfect, and in many of its
parts needs immediate transformations. Its
particular defect is its weight.

Says the Standard Oil Company Never
Was Trust.

Cleveland. Ohio, Feb. Ia story was
sent out from Pittsburg yesterday TO the
effect that the Standard Oil Company is
about to reorganize with ca pital stock of
2O0,OO0,OOO. The telegram sent out was
to the effect that tue company would re-
organize as corporation, and would go
out or the trust. Frank Rockefeller, vice
president of the company, last evening
read the story with a great deal OF inter
est and then said:
I'VE were trust until three years ago,
when the State legislature legislated us
out of existence as a trust and we have
since been a corporation and We are
a corporation now.
'.Of course, there are few odds and
ends Of the trust which we have not
yet picked up and which we are taking in
as fast as we can. These we are realizing
on all the time and In this respect and this
respect only. are we in any way trust

The New Idiot,

A new variety of fool" bicyclist
springs up every day. The latest
addition to the ranks of the scorch-
ing, loud voiced, loud sweatered
idiots in Springfield is the man who
tries to knock the street cars off the
tracks. He is not an experienced
rider. The very fact that he escapes
destruction tells that. A man that
knew how to ride couldn't perform
the feats that this reckless individ-
ual does without suffering calamity.
The custom of this new variety is
to get on some quiet street where
he can hit" up great pace. This
street must lead out on to Main
street, or else his aim is defeated.
He selects time when the crossing
IS crowded, a street Car is passing,
and then, putting on full steam and
changing his bell, he goes slam bang
through the crowd, headed for the
street car. just as every one is won
dering when the funeral will be held
he turns sharply to either side and
rides away triumphantly. A slip of
the wheel would mean sure death,
and if he and the rest of his kind
are not soon exterminated the mo-
tormen will die of heart disease.
