the Litigation.

Knoxville to-day won suit for $685. 900 in

bonds to the Knoxville, Cumberland Gap

amount in common stock. When the road
was completed the city refused to issue
bonds on the ground that the railroad
had not fulfilled its contract. The road
brought suit and won in every court to
the supreme court, where it was decided
that the road had fulfilled its contract, but
the case was referred to the clerk and
master to ascertain If the road could is
sue the original stock. His report was in
favor of the railroad, but the court Of
chancery appeals decided that the road
could not issue the stock and the supreme
court affirmed the decision. The attor-
neys' fees in tho case amounted to over

Bicycles VS.. Novels.

Few people have looked upon the
prevailing passion for bicycle riding as
menace to any particular line of bust.
ness. outside Of the livery stables and
dealers In horse flesh and road vehicles.
A writer In the Forum, however,
shows that bicycle competition is re.
gsrded in serious light by dealers 10
such goods as musical instruments,
jeW-lry, furniture, tobacco. dry goods,
etc. Perhaps the ones to suffer the
most from bicycle competition, how.
ever, are the dealers 10 novels and
periodicals. Que great news agency In
New York declares that its loss this
year from bicycle competition is no
lees than million dollars. A result of
this condition is that dealers thus sf-
fected give less work to the printer, In
the way Of catalogues and advertise
ments. 1t is probably true that the
violence Of the bicycle habit is grad
uslly passing of. A return to the
normal consumption Of these neglected
products of civilization may c0nse-
quenily be looked for in the not rs.
