RAILWAY BICYCLE.
Now the Section Boss May Go Scorching Over
 the Ties

The wheel goes everywhere. It has latest of all reached the railroads. Yes terday forenoon a State Herald reporter saw the ingenious railroad machine in the express car of the northbound Louis vile and Nashville passenger train. It is just like the ordinary bike" with chain, pedals, steering rod and seat the point of difference being in the wheels of the railroad bike, which are four in number, and which are wire spoked to a broad, thin rim, fashioned like a car wheel The rim Is cushioned with quarter inch rub Der belting, instead of a pneumatic tire, which, of course could not be used on the ral. The make of the machine is Gil ium. It was made in Hagerstown, Ind, and goes to Warrior, where it will be used by Bridge Supervisor J. M. Bibb of the Louisville and Nashville railroad. It weighs only fifty pounds, and it is claim ed that the rider can easily cover fifteen miles in an hour Station Master Me glemery, who is a good road wheelman, tried it yesterday and says that it does not work as easy as the pneumatic tired wheel on the pike, and that the same high rate of speed cannot be had, owing possibly to the weight and flat tire. How ever, it Is without doubt a great im- provement over the old hand-worked railroad velocipede, and it will probably come into general use with railroad peo- nle

THE BLACK AXE MURDER.
Jim Brown Bound Over and Woman Said to
 Be Wanted

Justice c. J. Martin yesterday after noon bound Jim Brown over without bail to await the action of the grand jury. Brown, it will be remembered is the all legged murderer of Will Worthington, bet ter known as Black Axe" The killing occurred recently in that disreputable quarter of the city known as Scratch Ankle.''
 All of the parties concerned are ne groes, and judging from the large attend ance of colored people at the trial the case is one of unusual interest to the race. A brother of "Black Axe" was in the court room yesterday afternoon ct the conclusion of the preliminary hear ing, and consulted an attorney in refer ence to procuring the arrest of negro woman whom he suspected of implica- < ton in his brothers killing. Two women, Callie and Emeline Oden, who were in the house that night, were arrested, but afterwards were discharged. Although it could not definitely be learned, 1t is be- leved that "Black Axes" brother wants one of these women rearrested.

 Ellis and His Condition,

Dr. Clarence Horton of New Orleans, who is here on a visit, saw MT. Charles A. Ellis at the Charity hospital after he was hurt in the accident on Monday last, mention of which was made in yester- days State Herald.
 MT. Ellis, it seems, was riding rapidly on bicycle with his head down, so that he did not notice private carriage that turned into the highway from a curb stone.

 pr. Horton says the patient is in the best of hands at the Charity hospital and that two weeks may be required to de- termine how seriously he is injured.

COAL CHUTE BURNED.
S4000 Loss at the Georgia Pacific Shops Last
 Night.


 At 12 o'clock last night fire was discov- cred in the Georgia Pacific coal chute, On Thirty-third street and Avenue A. The Northside fire department received the alarm from First avenue and Twen- ty-seventh street, and on arriving there a reel was sent to the fire, while the rest of the department returned to the sta tion. The fire burned fiercely, and for a while it looked like the oil house and the round house, with the valuable rolling stock, would go up in the flames, but the fire laddies with the reel assisted by the hose belonging to the company, sue ceeded in getting the fire under control about o'clock. The woodwork of the chute, valued at about $250O, was almost entirely destroyed. This was insured The coal and coal cars burned will amount to $1500. The other buildings were only slightly damaged It is sup posed that the fire originated in the oil room under the coal chute.
