Although Chief Glass is not absolutely
necessary to the police department OF
Los Angeles, it is true that he makes
better officer than did the average of his
predecessors. and it is just as we'll to
acknowledge that fact when criticlsing
his conduct of the affairs of the police
department. No doubt the Ministerial
association has a very much higher
standard of right conduct than any po-
lice force in the world could conform
to. If the chief could have the moral
support and hearty cooperation of the
better element of the community. his
task would be an easier one ard the
morals of the city considerably better.

All day yesterday crowds OF curious
people were around Sixth and Broad
streets, commenting, criticlsing, COM
pairing the appearance. the style, the
different kinds OF saddles. handle-bars,
and colors of the standard make 500
bicycles that are on exhibition there.
Many were the bets made as to the brand
OF the wheel but to all inquiries neither
Mr.. Meyer nor Mr.. Twigg Temple, who
has been engaged TO adjust the wheels,
and whose repair-shop will attend 10 the
wants Of the buyers Of these wheels. had
nothing to say. Mr.. Meyer did say:
There are the wheels: select what color
you like-Black, Blue, Red, Garnet, or
Green--seiect from any style Of handle
bar desired: from any Of the I'VE kinds OF
saddles. any kind of tires. Now take II
to any expert bicycle mechanic, and II
you cannot be satisfied II Is not one OF
the many cheap wheels now on the mar
kst, you are at liberty to bring IL back,
and have your $3.50 refunded. 1T is
well-known fact that the very best
bicycles only cost about S25 10 put to-
gsther. and II the riders Of Richmond
are not shrewd enough 10 take advantage
of this factory's desire to unload their
stock OF 1886 models, IL will be their own

when they sold for the hundred dollars.
The most extravagant bet tha& has yet
come to light was for one Of the bicycles
between two well-known men about town,
and had reference TO the, quantity OF
wheels Meyers had received. II was de-
cided by the head book-keeper at
Meyers. who produced the Chesapeake
and Ohio bill of ladlng. calling for ITO
wheels. The winner selected a green
wheel as an emblem OF the loser, who
was green enough to bet $3.50 against the
statement of an advertiser Messrs. Julius
Meyers Sons cordially invite the public
to inspect the wheels, believing that a
sight OF them will lead to a sale.

ACCoMAc JAIL DELIVERY.
Eight Prisoners Make Their Escape.
Nofe 10 the .Jaiier.

ONANCOCK. VA, August H.-(SpeciaD
Last night eight prisoners broke out of
Accomac county Jail and made their es-
cape Among them were several Mary
land dredgers. and Joseph Beclay. the
Frenchman, who some time ago stole,
it IS charged. about 500 from Captain
Costn of the Virginia oyster police
steamer Accomack. The prisoners ef-
fected their escape by filing the bars OF
their cells with n case knife. which one
Of them found in the Jail yard. They
then let themselves down by blankets.
and battered down the door OF the Jail
wall with a log which they used as a
ram. Two prisoners, whose terms are
about out, refused TO make their escape.
The escaping prisoners left note for
the jailer, thanking him for his kind
ness. and informing him that he could
now take a holiday from his labors.
No trace Of the fugitives has yet been
discovered, and no efforts TO recapture
them have been made. II Is probable
that the Governor will offer a reward
for the recapture Of Beclay.
