RESCUER ON A WHEEL.
A Policeman Bicyolist Catches Runaway
 In Chicago.

A Policeman Bicyolist Catches a Runaway
 In Chicago.
 Policeman Joseph Pisha of the Ca nalport avenue station staked his life and a bicycle against runaway horse in Douglas boulevard, Chicago, the other day. The bicycle won the day, and Pisha after being poised i'll midair for ten seconds in imminent danger of be- ing crushed to death landed safely on his feet with lacerated face and side, holding the quivering horse at stand still
 Several hundred pleasure seekers along the beautiful West Side drive wit messed the policemans s daring, and when it was all over they eheered him to the echo.
 Pisha was off duty, and, donning his citizens attire, he mounted his wheel for q spin. As he passed the intersec- tion of Harvard street he heard mad chatter of horses feet, and 8 hoarse cry went up on all sides. Looking back, he saw heavy horse attached to an unoc- and rush pellmell through the jam.
 Pisha sprang from his wheel and re- treated to the ourbing just in time to escape being run down. Then he took one look ahead, and what he saw deter mined him on desperate attempt to prevent loss of life. At every street in- terseetion and in the middle of the blocks men, women and children, many of them all unconscious of their ap- preaching danger, were threading their way among the carriages in the street.
 Pisha's voice went up in a warning cry He leaped upon his wheel and bent over the handle bars as his feet bore down on the pedals with lightning strokes. Gradually the space diminish ed. In front of both the teams had crowded to either side, leaving clear path scarcely ten feet wide Into this pocket shot horse and wheelman, with the latter reaching out his arm to seize the runaway 8 bridle. His fingers closed on the rein, the horse stopped short and reared. Pisha wheel slid from beneath him and striking the horses foot fright ened the animal afresh and started it off again.
 ZNc3y pOoy Aao 5tOJpcu tO W1buSSs luo outcome of the struggle for the mastery, but no one thought to lend any aid. Pisha tried to throw his disengaged arm over the runaway's neck, but failed. The horse swerved to one side and crushed the plucky officer against a carriage, bruising and cutting his arm and face, but not forcing him to loosen his desperate clutch on the rein. A few feet farther the horse ran, and then Pisha's weight proved too much. and the policeman, breathless and very white, once more touched the ground with his feet, and, trying to smile, pat ted the horse until it became quiet. Somebody said ''Hurrah" in a weak voice, and 1t was echoed by & man with stronger lungs until every one in the block was cheering the officers bravery Exchange.

IT is very apparent that the free silver men will have an overwhelm. ing majority, in fact, almost two thirds of the Chicago convention. But the free silver leaders should use their majority conservatively: there should be no Democrats to in. suit or estrange from the ticket te be nominated at Chicago To be conciliatory to the minority does not involve any sacrifice of princi.
 pie. It would not do to be too rad ical or extreme Old preeedents and practices should not be ruth lessly violated and set at defiance. Former customs and rules which have prevailed in National Demo cratic conventions for the last quar- ter of a century in the selection of a temporary chairman and the other machinery Of the convention should be observed. The free silver lead CTS should remember that in times long gone by when tbe black clouds of Republicanism threateningly overhung and menaeed the liberties of the South, it was the Democrats of the East who stood by and pro tected them. It was the Democrats of the East, with the votes from the South, who more than once defeated a Federal Force bill; it was the Dem ocrats of the East who voted for the repeal of the odious Federal election laws; it was the Democrats of the East who voted for tariff reform; and. finally, it was the Democrats of the East who elected Samuel J. Til den and Grover Cleveland Presi- dents Of the United States, And, when the former was fraudulently swindled out Of the position, it was the Democrats of the East who joined the Democrats of the South 
 in vehement protest. The Demo- cratic party should be Nationdt, and not a sectional party. The South has always in the past protested against sectionalism; now, when sectionalism is dead, the Democrats of the South should not be the first to revive it. Therefore, we hope to see the National Democratic Con vention at Chicago unify and solidi- fy the Democrats of the Nation. We have no Democrats to kill, drive out of the party or estrange. Conci!ia- tory tactics at Chicago will unite the party and presage glorious Democratic victory in November. Division and radicalism will imper- il Democratic success at the very 0utSat

Old Story and New Dress.

Here is a new version of all old story. It is from the New York Journal: .sMr. Alden, the editor of Harper's Magazine, used to go to the Authors club oftener than he has of late His desertion of this club is said to be due to conversa- tion which did not end to his liking. He was telling several interested listen ers--most of them contributors to his magazine-of the very great difficulty he had ill procuring suitable short stories He ended, however, with the confident assertion: But we get them. We get them. A frank friend present, probably not contributor, asked inno- gently. What do you do with them, AldeuS'

IF reports be true from Chicago, Bland has things his own way for the Democratic Presidential nomi- nation. Senator Teller has declared for Bland, and the Kansas and Ne braska delegations have declared that Bland can carry their States and will probably vote for him on first ballot. It is also believed that Illinois will support Bland on the first ballot, and from the present state of public sentiment at Chicago, as reflected by the press, it seems that Bland will be the nominee.

RAMAcIOTTI Is CAPTURED
Wanted Here and In San Francisco for Swi
dlin1

ding
CHIEF of Detectives Moffltt last even
Ing received telegram from San Fran
cisco notifying him that /. F. Ramaciotti
mad been arrested by the San Francisco
detectives and Is held In that city on
two charges, one of forgery and one of
obtaining goods under false pretenses.
The arrest was made at the request of
the Los Angeles authorities for crimes
committed here, but when the bay city
ofi1cers landed their man they found
that they needed him themselves. Ra-
macbeth is smooth parsonage who has
peen for some days working various
business men of Los Angeles and passed
several worthless checks and drafts, re-
sulting In a complaint being sworn to
by Henry Edelman, who was taken in
to the tune of $25.
Ramaciotti represented himself to
some as an agent of the Everhardt brew
cries of New York and to others as rep
resentative of Newmark & Co., tobacco
dealers of the same city. He flew high
while here and nothing was too good
for him. Running short of funds draft
was made on his alleged employers, the
Everhardts of New York. for 800, on
which the State Loan and Trust COM
pany advanced the money. The draft
was returned repudiated. Another sight
draft for $50 is reported to have been as
cepted by Teddy Atwell of tile City Club
Staples, anu the In1ru piece OIL WOTtnleSS
paper was the check for $25 passed upon
Edelman, drawn on the State Loan and
Trust company, which they refused to
honor. Edelman is the proprietor of the
Nadeau bar and cashed the check upon
the Endorsement of a well-known bust
ness man, upon whom the loss will now
fall.
1t is probable that Ramaciotti will not
be brought back here for trial, at least
not until the Frisco authorities are
through with him, as the more serious
charge rests against him there.

SYLvIH TRUSTED FRED
He Cashed . Draft for Her and Skpp.d With
the Proceeds

Miss Sylvie de Clercq is an unsophis-
ticated country maiden from Hueneme,
who some eight weeks ago came to this
city for the purpose of being treated for
an affection of the eyes, and incidentally
to secure position as household SER
want. She made the acquaintance of q
waiter in a restaurant whose name is
Fred Jeddeloh, who showed her many
attentions
Last week Miss de Clercq received a
draft for $95.40 from her home, but being
a stranger in the city was unable to get
the paper cashed at the banks, as she
had no one to identify her. Jeddeloh
came to her rescue in this dilemma, and
gallantly offered to secure the cash If
she would turn the draft over to him.
She did so and he got the money 'poco
pronto.'
This was last Monday and Miss de
Clercq has not seen her admirer since.
Jeddeloh did, however, leave $40 at her
lodgings for Sylvie, which is all she has
seen of the proceeds of the draft. Be-

HAD A BABY CARRIAGE
Chinese Who Is Suspected Of Stealing q
PerambulatOr end Other Things

1t is not generally the case in this
country that Chinese are married or
raise progeny,the greater number of the
coolies being bachelors and working to
the end that they may finally accumu-
late enough to go home to China, marry
one or more of the Acknowledged beau
ties and spend the balance of their lives
in comfort. Wong Sing is evidently not
one of that kind, and judging by his ac-
lions last night, must have the cares Of
paternity on his mind.
Officer Stephenson last night found
Wong perambulating along Hill street
pushing an empty baby carriage before
him. Under his blouse Wong had the
balance of the paraphernalia usually
slowed away in a vehicle of this kind.
There was the nursing bottle full of the
tactical fluid. the nurses or mothers
apron, sundry cloths used for various
purposes, towels, ETC., and finally a cake
of soap.
AS the celestial could give no connect
ed account of his movements or how he
came into possession of such an incon-
gruous lot of stuff, he was taken in on
suspicion and put in Jail for the night.
The question now is,whose baby is short
visiting outfit.

MERCHANTS ASSOCIATION MEETS
The Fiesta Fully lndorsed-To Be Made Per-
manenf Affair

Members of the Merchants associa-
ton to the number of twenty met in
their rooms at 1876 South Main street last
night to consider matters pertaining to
the Fiesta and the advisability of it's
being continued. There was no special
program but nearly every member pres
ent gave his views upon the Fiesta. The
consensus of opinion was that the cele-
bration should by all means be contin-
ued and made permanent affair."
After thorough discussion a resolution
was presented by Mr.. Pridham express
ing 1t as the sense of the body that the
Fiesta organization be made perma-
nent one and that to that end the Mer-
chants association appoint ten mem
bers of a committee Of thirty, the other
twenty to be appointed by the chamber
of commerce and the board Of trade,
which committee shall have charge of
all future Fiestas. The resolution was
adopted unanimously
The remainder of the evening was
spent In considering the matter of re-
vision and amendment Of the bylaws Of
the organization.
