BICYCLES AS BAGGAGE.
What General Agent Thinks
About 1t.

The war between the owners Of BIZ
cycles and the railroads over the
transportation of wheels free is being
waged with bitterness, especially in
Illinois and Wisconsin. The dispute
all seems to be over the legal interpre-
tation of the word baggage. The
Wheelmen claim that a bicycle should
be classed as baggage, the same as
baby cab, but the railroad authorities
take the other side in support of their
position. A general baggage agent of
!, well-known line said yesterday to
the Glob e:
Il do not see how the wheelmen can
possibly construe a bicycle as being
baggage. If you will turn to Web
ster's dictionary you will see that bag
gage is defined as being trunks satch-
els, valises, and other receptacles hold
ing the personal effects of an individ-
ual.
Now, if bicycles are subject to all
the state and municipal laws govern
ing the travel of other vehicles, how
can they be baggage any more than
an omnibus. Bicycles are subject to
laws regarding the use of lamps and
bells, to turning to the right when an
other conveyance is met, riding on
sidewalks, ETC., and how can you pos
sibly call a wheel a piece Of baggage
under these circumstances. On the
other hand If q bicycle Is an article
of the personal effects of an individ-
ual, why is, a bicycle not allowed in a
street car or on a sidewalk, the same
as satchel. This may be peculiar
reasoning. but it is certainly logical
under strict definition of the words
vehicle and baggage.
II think that roads are liberal in
transporting wheel for so low a cost
as 20 cents. Dozens of claims are filed
against us for breakage supposed to
have occurred while in transit, and the
railroads lose money every day in car
rying wheels.
Suppose party Of thirty or forty
should ride over to Saltwater and de-
eide to take the train home Our
baggage cars might be full of wheels
even then, and 1t would require the adj
dition of another car to the train In
order to transport the forty wheels to
st. Paul. 1t would be an out and out
loss to us unless we charged a small
fee for the carrying of each wheel. As
1t Is we charge but rs cents. Sup
pose some man in riding up from the
depot should puncture a tire. He
would come to us and say the damage
was due to our negligence. If we paid
the claim we would lose again. 1t Is
heavy problem. No one has any idea
of the number Of wheels we carry-On
two trains alone last month, running
on our Western division we carried
over 500 1t is still more of a problem
on the Southern and Eastern divisions,
and in the East, where tens of thous-
andS of wheels ore ridda0

a demand for freight cars to use in
the movement of the grain crop. The
sudden rise in the price of wheat of
10 and Is cents has induced the farm
ers to sell, and every one wants to
move their product at once. Yester-
day the Omaha brought $50 cars down

DEATH OF E. 0. LEERM0,
A Prominent Nevadan Succumbs
to the Dreaded Miners
Consumption.
His Ambition Was to Help the Real
Workers of the Country-An
Honorable Career.

Hon. Eric o. Leermo, familiarly known
among his friends as ''Aieck" Leermo, for
many years a prominent citizen of Ne
vada, died in this City recently, his NAL
ady being miners consumption, an insidi-
Gus and much-dreaded disease of those
who toll TO develop the mineral resources
OF the country.
A few weeks ago Mr.. Leermo came to
this City, desiring to improve his health,
yet scarcely daring to hope that the
change OF climate would be of material
benefit. He seemed to realize that the
doom of death was pending, for he knew
the nature OF his disease and spoke of it
calmly as one of the frequent consequences
that may befall the brave-hearted men
who delve in the depths of the great gold
and silver mines of Nevada and California.
One OF Mr.. Leermo's last remarks was
that those who thus risk their lives in the
vitiated atmosphere of the mines, in addi-
ton TO the ever-threatening accidents,
were certainly entitled to all the com pc n
sation that they ever received. In this
view Mr.. Leermo is sustained by such
men as John Mackay, the late Senator
Fair, the late Senator Hearst, Colonel E..
D. Boyle D. B. Lyman, r. z. Heating and
in fact all the prominent mining engineers
and superintendent ever known on the
Pacific Coast.
Mr.. Leermo was born in Norway, Sep
tember 1, 1S42, and came to the United
States early in life with his father and
mother and settled in Wisconsin. He left
the family roof while a young boy and
came to the Pacific Coast IN 1860. After
prospecting for gold in several mining
camps he drifted over to Nevada and

lady major, Though still confined to her

All her engagements have been postpon ed

strong chorus of "Halleluiahs,"
"Amens" and loud drum-beats greeted
this announcement, after which Major
Lewis continued:
