Marvellous Results.

From letter written by Rev. j.
Gunderman, of Dimondale. Mich, we
are permitted to make this extract: II
have no hesitation in recommending
DR. Kings New Discovery, as the re-
suits were almost marvellous in the case
of my wife. While was pastor of the
Baptist Church at Rives junction she
was brought down with Pneumonia
succeeding La Grippe. Terrible parox-
ysms of coughing would last for hours
with little interruption and it seemed
as If she could not survive them. A
friend recommended DR. Kings New
Discovery; 1t was quick in it's work
and highly satisfactory in results

mere, short black negro, got into a dis
pute.
Demere was standing in the middle
of the street, when ne made the positive
assertion that he could lick Glover in
about two minutes. and he started toward
the sidewalk where Glover was, stand
ing, as If to carry out his threat.
When Demere was in about ten feet of
Glover the latter pulled a six shooter from
his breast and began to fire. He fired
three shots in all at Demere, who was on
the run in minute. At the first shot
he started, at the second was twenty feet
away, and at the third over fifty. De-
mere ran behind a wagon and made his
escape from the pistols range Tom Ry-

sufferer being shot in the middle finger

TRIED TO TRIM A POLICEMAN.

samuel jackson Picked out the
Wrong One to Try 1t On.
Samuel Jackson. colored. found out last
night that it Is a very bad thing to un-
dertake to trim" policeman, especially
II the policeman knows his business.
Jackson was drunk. He etrolled along
in front of J. J. Egans place. at East
Broad and Huntingdon streets, and pro-
ceeded to make himself obnoxious to
persons in front of the store. Policeman
J. w. Woods happened to be there in cit
izen's dress. He ordered the negro to
move on. Instead of doing so, Jackson
drew shoe knife from his pocket, and
made at Woods. The latter was Obliged
to jump back until he could draw his
billy, with which he dealt jackson a lick
over the head that brought him to his
knees. 1t required several blows to sub
due him, however, and the result is that
Jackson will have very sore head this
morning.
In the melee Jackson dropped a s. bill
from his pocket. 1t was seen by Hayward
Brown, a young negro, who picked IL up
and made Off with it. Policeman Williams,
who was also present in citizens dress,
saw this act OF Browns and, without
knowing whose money 1t was, pursued the
boy and caught him. The s. bill proved to
belong to Jackson, his statement to that
effect being backed up by the fact that the
bill was covered with blood which had
poured from his head.
The fight between the policeman and
the negro caused considerable excitement
in that neighbOrhood, and many of the
crowd called on the policeman to shoot
the negro. Mr.. Woods had his pistol but
did not consider 1t necessary to use 1t.

FAvORs A BICYCLE PATH.
The Park Commission Likely to
Build One Around the Park

Build One Around the Park
DR.. George H. Stone. chairman OF the
park and tree commission, regards the
proposition to give the bicyclists a sepa-
rate roadway around Forsyth park and
the park extension WIKI favor. He con-
siders the scheme entirely feasible and in
d0rses the idea as a good one.
with the removal Of the park fence.
he said. IN discussing the matter yester-
day. there will be a very wide walk all
the way around the park and the parade
ground. There is nothing to prevent d.
vidlng this walk in half and appropriate
ing one-half TO the use Of the bicyclists
and the other half to pedestrians. The
division could be made by light curbing
and both bicyclists and pedestrians would
soon become accustomed to 1t. The bi-
cyclists could use the outer half and the
pedestrians the inner half Of the walk
The commission has considered this mat
ter and regards the idea with favor. The
only objection I have heard is that there
would be liability to accidents.
Hardly any arrangement could be made
which would not leave some liability to
accidents, but there would certainly be
much less danger under such an arrange
ment than a present, when both bicyclists
and pedestrians use the same walk. The
only points of danger to pedestrians would
be at the street intersections, but the same
objection could be made against allowing
the bicyclists to use Bull street"
DR.. Stone said that the commission will
give some attention to the park walks
soon. I'VE will not be able to make anv
extensive Improvements in Forsyth park
this year" he said, but our idea IS to
make it the chief object of our attention
next year, when some plan of permanent
improvement win be undertaken. Such
work as we will be able to do this year
will be merely for temporary effect"
The park and trse force was set to work
yesterday cutting down the weeds in the
park extension
