CYCLE PATH TO BALTIMORE.

"heelmen Will he Given IN OppOr-
tuntty TO Aid the Undertaking.
A cycle path between this city and Balti-
more Is again being agitated and the pro-
Jectors OF the scheme are deyising means
whereby the wheelmen can help the project
along. While sufficient capital is ready to
build the road. Mr.. H. L. Millner, who is
at the head of the undertaking, is anxious
10 have some sort of assurance Of the sup
port of the cyclists OF this city and Baltt-
more. The cities of Washington and Balti-
more. separated by but forty miles of
beautiful country, gently undulating and
dotted with prosperous towns md villages
certainly warrant the systematic effort and
outlay now being made to cater to the de-
sire of fair proportion of the hundred
thousand riders. estimated in the two cities
and vicnites.
In furtherance of this effort a rlan has
been devised. The Washington Loan and
Trust Company of this city and the Guard
ian Security. Trust and Deposit Company
of Baltimore will receive deposits of one
dollar. and hold them subject to condi-
tons expressed upon the certificate of de-
post. which assures the deDositor five
round-trp tickets their equivalent in
sectional tickets over the completed road, or
a return of the deposit in case the road is
not ready for use by May 1, 1888. 1t is the
object OF the projectors to enable all BIZ
cycle riders to become stockholders in the
company, and with that end in view the
stock will be placed at par value OF $40
The stock books of the company will be open
to holders of aforementioned certificates
of deposit until an advertised da,e.
Mr.. Millner. whose Office is at room - of
61J 14th street, is enthusiastic over the out
come of the cycle path. and he predicts a
great future. In order to boom the thing
along as much as possible the co-opera zion
of the cyclists of both cities will be solicit
ed. and with their help the work will be
pushed.

There had been as many as fifteen lights

they learned that the shots had been fired

Judge Miller and the Game Laws

To the Editor of The Evening Star
1 am at loss to reconcile Judge Miller's
decision in the Golden case with section l.
chapter "a of the compiled statutes of the
District of Columbia. by Albert and Lovejoy,
1894. which reads as follows, viz:
mo person shall kill or expose for sale or
have in either his or her possession either
dead or alive. any partridge. otherwise
quail. between the first day of February
and the first day of November. under a
penalty of s. for each bird so killed or in
possession
The act approved June IS. 1878. containing
this section, was submitted to the principal
sportsmen Of Washington for suggestions
ard approval before its passage by Con-
gress, and Is their concrete expression. No
addition thereto seems to be necessary
Legislation cannot supply testimony, nor
should constructive violations be punished
Perhaps Judge Miller was wrongly report
ed and the evidence insufficient. I am the
more strongly inclined to one or the other
of these suggestions from the confidence
1 have in his wisdom and rectitude. II.

The Central High School team will play
the Business High School eleven after their

ness team does not belong to the associa-
ton, and AS its players are not all mem
bers of the school, the games will not be
for the championship.
The Eastern High School foot ball team
will leave town Saturday morning for War

In your Saturdays issue l read, under
the head of university News" and from
Howard that a collection had been
taken up there for the only surviving
daughter of John Brown, who resided
in Texas Now, as there are four daugh-
tiers of John Brown living and none of them
reside in Texas" what could l suppose
but that some misstatement had been made
or some imposition practiced on the How
ard students? DIR. F.'s statement clears
the matter up and L trust that he may be
earnestly and kindly aided in aiding Mrs
Adams, a noble woman. But still l don't
see occasion for an attack on myself

James Washington is a colored man. He
Is also resident of Ivy City, and, further
than that. is the owner of a large black
dog. Because he is possessed of the
ownership of the animal Washington was
compelled to visit the Police Court to-
day in the capacity of defendant to answer
a charge Of keeping vicious dog.
Carl Weber, a letter carrier, was the
complaining witness. and he explained to
the court that when he visited Washing
tons house Friday last in the discharge of
his duty, he was attacked by the dog and
bitten severely. Wallace Morris, another
letter carrier, and several others testified
as to the vicious character of the dog
1t was set forth that the dog has bitten
several children and has jumped the fence
surrounding the house in order to attack
passersby.
Washington claimed that the dog is gen.
tie and friendly, and that the children of
the neighborhood are in the habit of play
ing in the yard with the animal.
Judge Miller dismissed the case on the
ground that the information specifically
charged that the dog was permitted to run
at large November ID, the proof showing
such to be not the case. Prosecuting At

pared an additional information. making
