ENGLISH CYCLE INDUSTRY.
Marked Increase In the Manufacture of
BICYCLES in Grent Britnin,

Washington, Oct. 20.-Consul Barker,
Birmingham, Eng, in his annual re-
port to the state department says that
the one marked development in that
district during the year has been the
cycle trade. 1t has been so great that
there has been great overproduction.
The trade with the United States has
not been greatly affected because no
complete bicycles have been sent to the
United States since 1894. The British
foreign trade in bicycles amounted in
1895 to $6,747012, in 1896 to $9,O56, 420,
and in 1897 (estimated) $7S77,275. So
many men have been drawn into bicy-
Gle making that other branches have
been injured. An increase Of 10 per
cent. in the wages of skilled labor has
resulted, but decline Is expected for
various reasons, including the introduce
tion and use of the best American ma
chinery. In the past two fiscal years
the exports from the United States to
the United Kingdom Of cycles and parts
of cycles was as follows: For 1896, $685.
592; for 1897, 81, ,375,675.

ed before the board to request that the

mex be changed to Burwell street. The
seus Thompson asked that the name of
Thompson street at Morris Cove be
changed to Florence street. Tt was
also suggested that the name of Forbes
street be changed to Wheeler avenue.
Selectman Cunningham suggested
that if it was found that the names of
any streets in the outlying wards have
been applied to those streets for long
er period than have the same names of
the streets in the city the latter be
changed.
In executive session the board voted
to change names of streets as follows:-

lowing streets was deferred until it is

ONE JUROR FOR IUETGERT
NTTTLg HOPE or Il CONVICTION or
TIE SAUSAGE 1IAKER NOW.

IuSHlll w III tnc Jury Until
Saturday--Reports Indicate IL Majority
of Jurors for Convictlpn--J,ror Harley
Stands Between Luetgert and the Gal
lows.
Chicago, Oct. 20.-At $50 tonight it
was announced from the office of
States Attorney Deneen that there
would be no announcement of a ver-
dict in the Luetgert case before the
opening of court tomorrow.
Judge Tuthill went home early in the
evening, leaving matters with States
Attorney Deneen, who was to send him
word in case verdict should be reach
ed during the early part of the evening.
The attorneys for the defence also left
matters with Mr.. Deneen and went
home to await any word that might
come from the jury room.
states Attorney Deneen, pale-faced
and red-eyed from long lack of sleep,
sat in his office until $50 and then
gave orders that his office be closed.
Il shall wait no longer he said,
"and there is no need of anybody wait
ing after leave. 1 agreed with Judge
Tuthill and with the attorneys for the
defence to remain here until $50
O'Clock and to receive the announce
ment if a verdict should be reached
There is absolutely no chance of any
thing being heard from the twelve men
before tomorrow morning at the ear
lest"
For time tonight it WIS rumored
that if the jury had not agreed by to-
morrow, it would be discharged as soon
as it reported it's inability to reach a
verdict. This, however is not the case.
1t is the firm determination of Judge
Tuthill to keep the jury until Satur-
day night or late Saturday afternoon
before he permits them to go with a
disagreement.
The jury stands about where it stood
twenty-four hours ago. Reports vary
\ from nine for the death penalty to three
for acquittal, to eleven for death and
one for acquittal. The one juror hold
ing out for Leutgert is Harley and it
is thought that if he would change front
there would be little time lost in ar
irving at a verdict. Juror Holabird is
4 also credited with favoring the acquit-
tai of the prisoner but it is thought he
would come around quickly if Harley
could be induced to vote for convic-
" ton.
The feeling among the Jurors who are
N in favor of the death penalty is high
N against Harley and they have done
y some very plain talking to him At
Il one time this morning they sent for
NJ Judge Tuthill to know among other
things, if eleven men could compel one
man to vote with them or if a verdict
& would be. valid if but eleven men signed
u 1t. This is the incident that gave to
" the state the idea that there was but
one man standing between Luetgert
y and a death sentence

and the stables were saved.
The building proved veritable TIM
der box and the high wind that pre-
vailed swept the flames to the poultry
exhibit building, the floral hall, the
new bench show building and agricul-
tural hall, which were wholly Destroy
ed. The grounds are located about
two and one-half miles from the city
and no alarm was in for the fire de-
partment, but the people living in the
vicinity turned out in force and BY
means Of a bucket brigade extinguish-
ed the fire started by flying embers
lodging on the grand stand or stables.

A HARD FOUGHT CONTEST
YALE DEFEATED BROWN BY A
SMALL MARGIN.

Brown Scored the First Touchdown After
Almost Biggest Crowd of
the Senson Present-Yale hooters Build
ing Big Hopes.
The long-haired Indians from Brown
university yesterday afternoon came
of Yale's football team. AS it was, they
practically played a tie game with the
sons of Old Eli.
The contest on the gridiron yesterday
afternoon was a stubbornly fought one
from start to finish, and until the ref
cree called time at the end of the sec
ond half the result was in doubt.
Brown scored the first touchdown in
just ten minutes after the playing be-
gan by a series of brilliant round-the-
end plays, mingled with several kicks.
This achievement caused the spirits of
the Yale supporters and rooters to drop
considerably, and until Yale managed
to make touchdown and kick goal
the suspense was something awful. The
score was then 6 to in favor of Yale,
Brown having failed to kick goal.
The threatening clouds Of the after
noon caused many to remain at home
but, however, the crowd was larger
than at any previous game. Almost
the entire new east grand stand was
occupied. A goodly number of the fair
sex were there to cheer their favorites.
The Brown team arrived here from
Providence at noon in charge of Wal
lace S. Moyle 81 S., of this city. A
score of undergraduates came up to
urge their men on to victory. They
took dinner at the New Haven house
and then repaired to the field.
In the first half the teams lined up
as follows:
YALE POSITION BROWN

center men were especially so and
never failed to push their opponents
back. Only one or two gains We're
made through the center, tackles and
guards, but several were made outside
the tackles.
Charles Chadwick is certainly to be
given credit for the way he played
tackle in the second half. He seemed to
be possessed of some of the vim which
he possessed two years ago and had his
opponent completely at his mercy.
Yale's offensive work was excellent,
but the defensive will have to be i'm
proved
w. w. Heffelfinger' 81 S., was one
or the spectators. After the game he
told the men that he was more than
pleased with the offensive work. He
said that it was an easy matter to
teach the men the defensive game, but
exceedingly hard to teach offensive.
Captain Rodgers expressed himself
as being fairly we'll pleased with the
showing made, but, of course, was de-
sirous of not allowing Brown to score.
Bliss '93, Heffelfinger 81 S., Thorne
'96 Hinkey '97, Butterworth '95, and
Knapp were among the old football
men present.
