platform.
He was eager for the latest news from

RODE DOWN A RUDE MAN.
A Fair Bicycllst scorehed Into a Hog

New York, Nov. 6.-AIrs. win Stevens
of Bloomfield, n. J., whose husband is
connected with Snow Church & Co,
Of New York, is an ardent lover OF the
wheel
A few days ago her friends planned a
trip over untried roads among the or
anges. In the gayest Of spirits the par
~ set forth, Mrs. Stevens riding with
Postmaster Tower.
Half way down a path three pedes-
trians hove in sight. They were bound
in the same direction as the wheeling
party and did not see them coming. In
proper range the leaders jingled their
bells and the pedestrians looked back.
Please allow US room" called
young woman in the lead, and two of
the pedestrians politely stepped to one
side. The third, however, was of the
class that allows no rights to bicyclers.
Turn out yourself he snapped
trudglng onward.
But there is no ROOM protested the
young woman, coming almost to a
Then make ROOM retorted the
man.
In peril of a smash up the young wo-
man turned out among the low bushes
and the others, except Mrs. Stevens, fol
lowed suit. Mrs. Stevens went on
w ont you please let me pass? ?" she
asked
Turn out" said the ungallant pedes-
trian. II choose to keep on
Will you be SO kind as to let me pass
by2' said Mrs Stevens with just the
least bit Of frost in her mellow voice.
Nope" snarled the man. mot on your
life Turn OUT
''Then look out for yourselfr' cried
Mrs Stevens bending to her work With
her teeth set and the handle bars held
firmly she charged the surly pedestrian
and struck him a tremendous blow with
the front wheel. A single start of sur
prise and fear broke from his lips and
then he fell astride of the forward tire
stiu pedalling at fun speed she drove
the fellow ahead dozen yards and
then discharged him headlong into a
sand heap. Getting up the man lumber

You're no lady" he cried, red with
rage.

she responded, you are no judge

his fist

Smiling sweetly Mrs. Stevens adjust

among other things:
Thus ends the campaign in the cleo
ton of Mckinley.
The result was brought about by all
manner of coercion and intimidation.
~ threats of lockouts and depression
The working people were told that they
would be brought face to face with
starvation
Later in the evening Chairman Jones
said:
What defeated US was the action of
large employers in telling their men
they need not return to work on We'd
nesday if Mckinley was defeated. This
unquestionably lost us thousands of
votes, for the man with a wife and lit
tie ones cannot help being moved by
a prospect which threatens to deprive
him of work and consequent means OF
support.
but we have won victory just the
same, for I do not believe that any po-
litical party win dare include the word
gold in its platform in 1900. Whatever
happens, however, we shall not aban-
don our fight for free silver, which is a
just one and one that is bound to tri-
umpb j think it will be the aim OF
the Republicans TO deprive US of an Is
sue on this question, and I firmly be-
lieve that Major Mckinley viii bend
every effort TO bring about an lnterna-
tiOnal agreement.
L believe, moreover. that before the
close of his administration he viii stand
in the same relation toward his party
that President Cleveland does toward
the Democratic party. The western
Republicans will unQuestiOnably urge
silver legislation upon him, which, OF
course. will be bitterly opposed by east
ern Republicans. He cannot please one
without giving deadly Omense to the
other and 7 think the result will be
that he will ALLEVIATE the Republicans of
the east"
Washington, D. c., Nov. 6.-senator
Faulkner said: Chairman Jones has
informed me that he will cOncede the
election of Mckinley.
THE confidence which Senator Jones
he has conducted the campaign will
warrant me in saying that none VIII
question the prOpriety of his acting
promptly in so grave matter when
once he becomes thoroughly satisfied
from the returns in his possession that
there remains no question of the defeat
Of that magnificent leader of the peo-
pies cause, who has inspired millions
of his fellow citizens to strain every
effort within the lines of legitimate
controversy to secure a victory which
would relieve them from the merctless
exactions of a continuing contracting
currency.
THE national Democracy has been
defeated, but by returns in our pos
session and which we believe Will De
shown by the final vote in the electoral
votes have indOrsed its candidate and
have approved its platform But true
to that great Jeffersonian principe, an
must bow to the viii of the people as
voiced by a majority Of the electoral
college"

MKINLEY THANKS HANNA
Says the Country Has Been Saved
From Reputation and Dishonor

Canton. o.. Nov. 6-President-elect
Mckinley last night sent the following
dispatch to Mark Hanna at New York;
IN. A. Hanna, Waldorf Hotel, New
York:-YOur Geographic message an
nOuncing the result of the election has
been received. beg you to accept my
hearty thanks for your great services
in the cause Of sound money and pro-
lection throughout the campaign now
closed and gloriOusly won They were
most generous and effective, and viii
receive the warm appreciation of your
cOuntrymen everywhere Will be
pleased to have you convey to your as
sOciates Of the national committee my
high appreciation of their efficient serv-
ices The people in their majesty, ig-
noring party lines. have declared their
detestatiOn Of Reputation ana dishOnOr
in whatever speciOus guise they may
be presented. They have with the
same mighty power affirmed their devo-
ton to law and order and their unde-
waiting respect for justice and the
courts They have proclaimed their I'M
faltering determination to support and
uphold the constituted authorities Of
the country and have thereby given
new vigor and strength to our free in
stitutions
"Thev have indeed again consecrated
70 the country and baptized the cher
1shed ordinances of free government
with new and holy patriotism The
victory is not to party or section, but
of and for the whole American people
Not the least Of the triumphs of the
elections is the OhLteration of sectional
lines in the republic. We have demon
strated to the world that we are uni
ted people in purpose as in name We
have manifested ia the great cause the
spirit of fraternity and brotherhood that
should always characterize our common
and equal citizenship and have proven
conclusively that in a country of equal
privileges and equal opportunity the
insiduous doctrine of hate, or Of class or
sectional distinctions cannot prevail
Let US. as Americans, straightway de-
vote ourselves to the upbuMding Of
America, to the peace. honor and glory
OF our country. Party discussions
should no longer divide or rack the pub
lie mind; nor zeal or temper Of either
side deter any citizen from patriotic de-
votion to the good Of all

AFTER GAs TRUST.
Attorney General VIII Try to Dis
solve Brooklyn COMPANIES.

Albany, Nov. 6.-The attorney general
today in the matter of the petition of
John c. Lester for the institution Of
proceedings to annul the charters OF
the Williamsburg Gas Light company
the Nassau Gas Light company, the
Peoples Gas Light company, the Met
ropolitan Gas Light company, the Cit
liens Gas company, the Brooklyn Gas
Light company and the Brooklyn Union
Gas company, forming the alleged trust
has decided to begin suit as petitiOned
The papers presented upon the hear
ing set forth that prior to November J.
1896. there had been organized the eight
companies above named; also the Flat
bush Gas company, the Kings County
company, and the Mutual Gas Light
company, for the ostensible purpose of
supplying gas to the city OF Brooklyn
and adjacent territory.
The first seven companies through the
operation Of their various mains. furn-
ished the major portion Of the gas sup
ply of the city of Brooklyn.
On or about November I, 1895, the
Brooklyn Union Gas company pur-
chased the property or franchise of
these companies, the sales in question
being made in accordance with the pro-
visions of the stock corporal ton law,
which permits companies of this char
acter to convey their property, privil-
eyes and franchises TO corporations en-
gagged in the business Of the same gen
eral character.
The statutes. however. it is held. con-
template the merging of the consoHda-
ted corporations into single new cor
poratiOn in place Of those formerly in
existence
Corpora tons which have transferred
their property and franchise ought not
to be permitted to continue the sem
blance of corporate life, especially when
they have suspended their ordinary and
lawful business beyond the time per
mitted by law.
Action will therefore be commenced
in the name of the people to dissolve
the seven companies which have dis
posed of their corporate rights and
