rhe Calf stood ais Ground.

A little farce, in which u young lady,
q bicycle and a calf were the actors, is
reported by the Utica Press. A young
lady, bowling merrily along on her
wheel, came to the top Of hill which
offered a fine opportunity for coast.
Accordingly her feet went upon the
rests, and the wheel started for an un-
trammeled cruise down the incline.
The coast was clear, with the excep-
ton of calf standing inoffensively in
the road about halfway down the hill.
Had it been mouse, in all probab bill
ity the fair cyclist would have at once
dismounted and gone around by an
other route, or stepped into some house
for assistance; but as it was only a
harmless calf that would in all proba-
bility make room at once at the ap-
proach of the wheel, the young lady
kept steadily on.
The calf, however, had different
views concerning the right Of way, and
calmly stood his ground. The wheel
had now gained great impetus, and
despite the frantic efforts of its rider
it struck the astonished calf and in
some unaccountable manner the young
lazy brought up on her hands and
knees, with her head between the calfs
hind legs.
This was too much for the calf. as it
was also for the fair cyclist, ana he
moved off in douhle-quick time. ieav-
ing the wheel and its owner to reorgan-
iZe and continue.

settlement of the affair between Bradley
r. johnson and Senior Manuel Ampudia
is gevin out Gen. Johnson denied that
cised Senior Manuel Ampudia for ignor-

scurrilous productions he had received.
He waived all formalities and signified
his readiness to fight. Senior Ampudia's
seconds said that in view of the denial
they withdrew all opinions expressed in
the letter. All the seconds then agreed
that the incident was ended absolutely.

BIG WAREHOUSE FIRE.
Security Company's Building at Minne-
apOlis Burned.

Minneapolis. Mimi, July 1O.-The Sc
curlty Warehouse companys warehouse
''B" was completely Quilted by fire at en-
early hour this morning. 1t was filled
with all sorts of merchandise, includ-
ing farming machinery and large q.un-
THY of household goods. Only the walls
were left standing. The loss on the
building is $4,000 and on the contents
100000. This will be largely covered
by insurance. Owing to the negligence
of the water department in the flushing
of mains the fire department was with
out water for half an hour. Numbers
of householders who stored their goods
for tho summer are losers, many without
insurance.
The loss on the contents is now es-
timated to be $4,000 or 100000.

DOLLAR GAS HEARING.
Members of the Company Appeal for
the Removal of the Provision.

the Removal of the Provision.
The dollar gas bill was discussed yes
terCay afternoon by President Winship, OF
the Georgetown Gas Company, and Mr..
Jackson Ralston. of the board of trade,
before the Senate District Committee.
There were present. Mr.. Faulkner, in the
chair; Senators Pritchard, Wetmore, Martin
and Baker.
Mr.. Winship presented figures from the
books of his company to show that the
average cost for the production and dis
tribution of gas for the past three years
has been S1.31 per thousand; therefore
asked that the provision requiring his
company TO furnish gas at S1.25 per
thousand be stricken from the bill.
Mr. Winsbip said the Georgetown Gas
Company has been selling gas in GEORGE
town for fourty-two years. Its price and
operations have never been the subject OF
legislation It's stockholders and patrons
have been satisfied. The price. owing TO
location and limitation OF its field OF
consumers, has always been higher than
the Washington price.
He said they would have been unable
to pay any dividend if it had not been
for the sales of by-products, amounting to
$4,000 a year. They were thus able 10
pay s 20 10 per cent annual dividends on
$50 600 stock.
Mr.. william L. Lewis, an expert ac-
Countant. said he had examined the books
for Mr.. winship and the results were cor
rect. He Coaid not see how Congress had
right TO destroy a business, as would be
done If the price were made S1.25.
Mr.. Ralston said he was present for
the Washington Board OF Trade, but was
ready TO speak rather on Washington gas
than on Georgetown. He would say. how
ever. that the board indorsed the bill, both
as TO Georgetown and Washington. Mr..
Winshp said the board had never got any
! Information a S TO the cost of making gas
| In Georgetown.
President Tucker, of the Northeast Citi-
zens' Association. called attention to the
| fact that many deposits made with the
| gas company as security were never with
drawn. and a large amount was believed
! to have accumulated in the treasures of
/ the companies.
Mfr. Proctor. by Feries of questions,
showed that the Georgetown Gas Company
| buys it's coal of Meredith. Winship 4 Co.,
| OF which firm Mr.. Winship is himself a
member. They own 140 boats on the
| Chesapeake and Ohio Canal, and bring
| coal direct from the mines.
