PROGRESS OF THE BICYCLE.
Something New That Is Being Tried il
Switzerland.

NA'SsAAAAS A>cW HUI IL bcluk 1h
Switzerland.
Lovers of the bicycle-and they are
legion-are awaiting with interest the
coming of the chainless wheel, says the
Hartford Post. 1t is announced that
It is coming soon and it is expected that
1t will be a considerable improvement
over the wheel now in use, being easier
to care for. Something new in wheels
is reported from Switzerland. 1t is the
invention of a Geneva man. The sad
die of this bicycle is developed into
seat and it is dropped back almost i'm
mediately over the center of the rear
wheel, the steering-bar being length
ened to enable the driver to control the
wheel without bending forward. The
inventor says that the principle of the
machine is the utilization of the con-
siderable amount of force, very little
known, which is afforded by point of
support. Without this point of support
the only force man has is his own
weight. On the other hand, if the back
be we'll supported, he has in each leg
a force more than treble his own weight
and which IS, in fact, equal to the
weight he is capable of carrying COM
bined with that Of his own body. The
construction of this bicycle is intended
to make use of this considerable
amount of wasted force. The point of
support in the new wheel is the back
of the seat, by means of which the
cyclists body is thrown back and his
legs lifted up, owing to the position of
the pedals. The body is thus placed
in a normal" posture. The rider is
upright or leaning slightly backward.
It has been tried in the streets of &C.
neva and made favorable impression
The ease with which it ascends hills
was particularly noticeable. The BIZ
cycle hes not reached its full develop
ment.

REV. Mr.. PORTER AT ST. JOHNS
Resurrection of Christ His Topic
Yesterday Morning.

The morning sermon at the St. Johns
church yesterday, was delivered by Rev.
John F. Porter of Florida. who is sup
plying the church in the absence Of the
rector, Rev Charles II. Strong, now alb
sent from the city upon his vacation. The
subject discussed was the resurrection Of
Christ, the text beng from the third verse
of Acts l. chapter /: He showed himself
alive after his passion, by many infallible
proofs"
Referring to the resurrection of Christ,
the speaker said that it was vastly i'm
portant that all must needs be impressed
by It, Christianity stood like rock up
on it and they who advocated that He did
not arise from the dead were propagating
a most injurious and iniquitous doctrine.
Martyrs had gone down to death with the
firm belief that Christ had arisen and
with assurances of their redemption
fixed fast Beyond any peradventure,
1t could be conclusively proven to the I'M
biased and repentent mind, that Christ
arose, and the church asked
no favors of the world in
were all contained in the Bible and at this
juncture, the speaker adduced long lines of
proofs from the Acts of the Apostles in
fact from the entire New Testament The
gospel written by Matthew, Mark Luke
and John, while emanating from the
minds of four men, was yet the product of
single brain. No minds could have so
thoroughly grasped the natural and the
supernatural.
Many prophesies had been made of oc-
currences in the life Of the Lord Mr. Por-
ter said. David placed the prophesy of Je-
hovah on record and ST. Paul said al An
tioch, that he whom God raised would be
incorruptible, and so He was. That He
should arise the third day was prophesied
and He had arisen. The speaker said that
Christ had always silenced the words of
those who had sought to overthrow Him.
In the course of the sermon, beautiful
reference was made to the advent of the
Lord when the fishermen were finding no
success In their little craft on the sea of
Galilee. Christ had come and, ascending
upward, His voice melted into complete 81
lence as He entered the portals of the
heavenly throne and fell asleep at the
right hand of God. All would yield, con-
cluded the speaker, to the facts of the re-
surrection, and yielding, would believe.

ANOTHER INVESTIGATION.
The o. Il. NJ. Department to Have IA
RaISing Over the Goals.

The o. Il. Nj. Department to Have IL
BalSinG Over the Goals.
The public health committee of council
will begin an active investigation into the
affairs Of the o. e. NJ. department to-
day. Certain reports have been made to
the committee concerning the work of the
contractor, NJ. A. Buttimer, which, It
considers. demand an investigation, and
the department it is understood, is going
to be given thorough overhauling.
According to Mr.. Buttimer's contract.
he is required to clean vaults when noti-
fed within three days, and in certain
cases within twenty-four hours. Within
the last few weeks from sixty to seventy
five cases have been reported in which
the work on as many vaults has been
delayed anywhere from one to twenty-five
days after notice had been given.
The public health committee will inves-
tigate this and other matters connected
with that department, and will make a
report at once to council, probably with
recommendations as to what should or
should not be done Mayor Meldrim has
asked the committee to make this inves-
tigation. and to find out just where and
what the trouble is, and 1t is said it will
be done thoroughly.

WILL SHOOT PIGEONS.
How the Forest City GUN Club win
Close Its Season.

How the Forest City Gun Club VIII
Close Its Season.
The Forest City Gun Club will close
next Thursday afternoon the season of
81 with a grand afternoons sport, devot-
ing the entire afternoon to pigeon shoot
ing. AS a rule this pastime is not much
in vogue here, for two reasons. It is ex-
pensive and shooters in the south have
the advantage of field shooting The win
ter Is the best time to shoot pigeons, as in
the summer they are lazy and do not
care to fly when the trap, is sprung, as
they do when the air is frosty. The club
has secured a large number of birds and
the club invites its shooting friends to join
it in the pastime. Birds will be charged
for at their cost. None of the club mem
bers have had any experience shooting live
birds from traps with the probable excep-
ton of Mr.. Harry Lemcke, and he has
shot none since 1886, when he won num-
Der of large money prizes at Dunellen, N.
j. The committee will fix the boundary
lines which will probably be so yards,
and many a duck and dove shooter partici-
pating will feel much chagrined when he
sees q lively, SCrOng-Wlnged DlCd go sail
ing over the boundry with the better por-
ton of two loads of shot in it, American
Association rules will govern, and for
those not conversant with the rules it is
well to state that the gun can be held in
any position the shooter fancies, and the
use of both barrels are allowed. No guns
larger than 12-gauge are allowed, and the
shot Is limited to IL ounce to each load
Contestants may use as much powder as
they please. The shooting will take place
at o'clock on the clubs grounds at Estin
avenue
A committee composed OF Messers. John
Rocker, John Reideman and John
Hearn, will have the shoot in charge. This
committee will also arrange the handl-
caps, which will be from q to 30 yards, the
more expert members being required to
shoot from the latter distance.
The programme wilT consist of probably
four sweepstakes of five seven, eight and
ten birds. Shooters can enter the sweeps,
or only shoot for the cost of the birds. An
interesting feature of the shoot will be
match between four of the clubs best
nnen-Messrs. Rocker and Jaugstetter VS..
Reideman and Stanby. These teams are
about evenly matched in target shooting
and they desire to test their strength
against each other at live birds. The
match will be at ten birds per man. Re
freshments will be provided by the cub
and a fitting wind-up of the session of
81 can be expected.

MRS mMURRAY RETURNS.
Arrived From PittSburg by the Bal
tImorc Steamer Last Night.

Mrs. Mamie McMurray was passenger
on the steamship Itasca, which arrived
from Baltimore last night.
This announcement IL made a
few months ago, would have sent
thrill of interest through the
whole city. The story of Mrs. McAfurray's
sufferings and reported ill-treatment at
the hands OF her husband Patrick Nc
Murray, and her confinement in reform
home in New York, at the instance of
her husband was freely told in the Morn
ing News last spring. The efforts on the
part of her relatives to restore Mrs. Nc
Murray to liberty were finally successful.
when. to the surprise of every one and
the Indignation OF her uncle, William
Prenty of Pittsburg. Pa, who had labored
so faithfully to secure her release, she an
nounced her intention Of going with her
husband and told her uncle that she want
ed nothing to do with him. Her action
was all the more strange because of let
tiers which she had written to friends here,
begging for relief, and asserting that she
was in fear of her life from her husband,
the authorship OF which letters she ac-
knowledged in the presence of her hus-
band.
The sympathy of the whole city had been
aroused in Mrs McMurray's behalf and
her peculiar conduct in the matter caused
general surprise and disappointment The
sympathy which had been bestowed so
freely upon her, cooled decidedly aud peo-
pie lost interest in the case.
Nothing further had been heard here of
Mrs. McMurFay's movements for some
time past and considerable surprise was
created when kilograms were received in
McNurray was on the Baltimore steamer
Which left that city Friday. The tele-
grams were from Mr.. William Prenty of
Pittsburg, and stated that his son, James
Prenty, was with Mrs McAIurray. No
further information is in the possession
of the friends of Mrs. McMurray here.
They judge from the facts as stated in
The kilograms that she must have left her
husband and joined her uncle at Pitts
burg, who sent her to Savannah IN charge
Of his son to see her poor old mother who
has not had a sight of her daughter since
the latter left here for New York last No
vember in company with McMurrays
brother
McMurray later sold out his business
here, together with the Prenty property
at Houston and McDonough streets, to
which he had acquired title by purchase,
and left the city. There were charges of
fraud in connection with the disposition
of this property but these charges have
never been substantiated.
Mrs McMurray's explanation of her
husbands course and her own is awaited
with interest by the many persons here
who have interested themselves in her
case.
