The director Of public safety Of Phila-

council Of Philadelphia a letter recon-
mendlng certain rules for the govern
ment of vehicles In the l-t-
ter the director recognizes the
fact that bicycles are constItu-

subject TO the same restrictions as all
other vehicles and the recommended tons
are made TO cover not only bicycles. but
all other vehicles. There is not "a single

recommendations made to council are as

g. That, where a person riding a bicycle
or driving wagon is arrested for breach
OF ordinance and fined by the magis-
Trate, the magistrate be required to hold
or impound the bicycle or wagon until
the fine is paid.
g. That the penalty for violation be re-

The Week Has Been Very Favorable
One in the South.
r Washington, Sept. 9.-The weekly crop
bulletin of the Agricultural Department
issued to-day says:
T. The week has been very favorable for
general farm work and maturing crops
Cotton picking has progressed rapidly
under favorable conditions, and is now
we'll advanced over the northern portion
of the cotton belt. About half of the
crop has been gathered in Tennessee and
Georgia and picking is being pushed to
completion in Mississippi. There has
been no improvement in this crop during
the week and rains would not prove ben
efcial. There will be very little top crop,
and all reports indicate that the bulk of
the crop will be picked by October /,
much earlier than usual.
Most of the tobacco crop has been cut
and housed except in Virginia, where
considerable yet remains in the fields
In Maryland late tobacco has been cut
short by drought, but a fair crop is as
sured. The reports generally indicate
that the crop is curing we'll.

TOOK ANOTHER STEP

Washington, Sept. 9.--The Seaboard
Air Line took another step in the rate
war to-day and gave formal notice of
new freight schedule from Baltimore to
Atlanta and all points on that line. This
action does not cut present rates, how
ever, but forms combination of the tariff
for both its land and water lines to meet
the similar schedule the Southern filed.
The rate from Baltimore to Atlanta is now
81 cents, drst-class freight, against a
normal tariiftof 72 cents. This includes
the present tariff of 3 cents on the Bay
Line against the usual first-class rate of
% cents. Several minor roads feeding
the west from TIE contesting roads have
filed notice of schedules in conformity
with the cuts already made on those two
lines

HIS ARM SHORTENED.
A Remarkable Operation Performed in
St. Louis.

DR.. Suffer performed difficult surgi-
cal operation mt the city hospital yester-
day. James Hayes, a barber, was in his
shop on Park avenue when the building
was demolished by the tornado of May
81 and besides other injuries had his
right arm broken between the shoulder
and the elbow. His arm was set by n
surgeon, but for some reason the bone did
not grow together, and he has suffered
great pain and been unable to use his
arm since. a few days ago he applied
to DR.. Suffer and explained the nature
of his injuries. He was told the only
way to relieve him would be to join the
bone together by artificial means, so yes
terday was decided upon for the opera
ton. He was placed upon the operating
table and chlorcform administered to
him. DIR. Suffer then made Il long Incl
sion in the flesh and bending the arm
at the broken place, caused both ends of
the broken bone to protrude clear of the
flesh, to enable him to operate on them
without interference He then sawed
eff the rough end OF each fractured part,
and Il smooth, even surface was thus Sc.
cured He then sawed each end of the
bone half way through, about an inch
from the end, one being sawed on the
top and the other on the under side, and
then cut each end lengthwisc to meet the
cut previously made, thus taking out n
piece of the bone an inch long and half
its thickness. Both ends were then
placed together and the broken bone was
mortised evenly and smoothly. To hold
the ends firmly together n hole was drill
ell through the bones at the point where
they were mOrtised and an ivory peg
driven into the hole, binding the ends sc.
curely together. The incision was then
md = -
splints. Mr.. Hayes was then revived
and later in the day went to his home.
DR.. Sutter says the arm will be about an
inch shorter than it originally was, but
otherwise it will give Hayes no ncon-
venience after it knits firmly together
which will take about four weeks. The
muscles, DR.. Setter says, will accommo-
date themselves to the shortened length
of the arm.-St. Louis Globe Democrat.
