WYCKOFF"S ASSAILANT.

NEW YORK, June 16.-The man who shot President Wyckoff of the Bank of New Amsterdam and then shot himself yesterday, has been identified as George H. Semple, residing on West Eighty second street. Semple bore a bad reputation and it is alleged that he intimated to the police that his deed was the result of murderous impulse for which there was no reasonable or igin. There is no probability of either Wyckoff or Semple recovering.

ARE YOU A BICYCLIST?
If So, You should Not Fail to Profit
by the Hints Given Below,

The discussions which has been going on
in the papers during the past months, as
to whether bicycle riding is a healthful
recreation, naturally attracts wide atten-
ton, not only from bicycllsts themselves,
but from their vast army of friends, which
includes nearly everybody.
That a recreation does result from the
vigorous often violent exercise in which
bicyclists indulge, there can be no doubt,
but it would seem to rest almost entirely
with the bicyclsts themselves, whether
this reaction shall be a healthful one or
otherwise
If men or women allow their tensifed
muscles to relax too quickly 1t is injuri-
Gus. If they permit the pores of the skin
to close too suddenly, it is certainly inju-
rious, often fatal.
There can be no doubt that a gentle
stimulant both internally and externally,
meets this requirement better than any
other small quantity of pure whiskey
taken in little water. and a little I'M
diluted whiskey rubbed externally, will
counteract all possible i'll effects. In this
day of authorizations, it is gratifying to
know that so valuable an article as Duff
fy's Pure Malt can be obtained so readily
and at such a reasonable price, and the
number of bicyclists which the writer has
known who are using it successfully, in
dicates that they have found 1t of unques-
tionable value.

The Property to BE Turned Over to
the New Company Dec. L.
Philadelphia, Oct. 1S.-Plans for the re-
organization of the Philadelphia and
Reading Railroad Company are now al
most complete, and unless hindered by
some unforeseen obstacle, the property
will be formally turned over by the re-
cAivers of the new company on Dec. /, the
beginning of the new fiscal year. The title
OF the new company will be the Phladel-
mia and Reading Railroad Company, and
its organization will mark an important
era in the history of the great corpora
ton. as with it's foundation will disap-
pear the old charter which was one of
the most valuable and comprehensive
ever granted by the legislature of Penn
sylvania. Application will be made for
a new charter, under the laws of the COM
monwealth, which will bring the COM
pany within the provisions of the new
constitution and greatly curtail it's pow
ers. The most important change, as a
result, will be the severance of the coal
and iron company from the railroad COM
pany. Under the broad provisions of the
old Reading charter the company was en-
abled not only to operate a railroad, but
to purchase coal and iron lands, operate
the mines, run furnaces and FORCES and
engage in almost any line of business.
AS far as known now there will be no
change in the officers of the two compdn-
les President Joseph Harris continuing
at the head of both the railway and coal
and iron companies. All the other gen.
eral officers will be continued as at pres
ent,

A prosperous New Yorker who passed

who often takes thought of important
