Crowd Threatened Him.

An unknown white man in a buggy had
a very unpleasant experience last evening
on the Conduit read. He was driving along
the road near the Hotel de Cycle club house,
a colored r. sort on the Conduit just out
side the District line, about & o'clock. The
colored cyclists were having a road race,
and one of the riders collided with the
buggy, wiecking the wheel and injuring the
rider to some extent. The other negroes
became angry at the outcome of the race,
and claimed the buggy was responsible for
the accident. They gathered around it and
threatened to lynch the occupant. Finally
several strapping negroes grabbed hold OF
the bride and started to lead the horse into
Georgetown. What became of the owner
is not known. The mounted police heard
of the affair and started after the buggy,
but 1t could rot be overtaken.

MENT AGAINST BICKEL.

LOUIS zsCHAU TO DE LET OFF.
RenOrt Says the Indictment Against
Him VIII Also Be NOIIed by
County Attorney.

il is understood that Assistant Coun-
ty Attorney Zollman will today move
TO nolie the Indictment against William
F. Bickel charging him with the crime
of neriury The reason for this action
is the discovery that Mr. Bickel was
not under oath when he gave the al
legged false testimony.
In the garnishment proceedings in
stituted by creditors Of &. }. Luclus
against the Minnesota Savings Bank,
Mr.. Rickal made a statement before
George w. Hillman, who was appointed
TO take the disclosure, that on the day
the bank was served with garnishment
papers ii had no money in its poses
sion belonging TO Lucius. This state
nent is alleged to have been false, but
II row iranspires that Referee Hillman
cid not properly qualify to put Mr..
Bickel under oath. If that is true,
there could not have been any perjury
committed.
If the Indictment is nOlled, it will
leave only one indictment against Mr..
Bickel. that charging him with the lar
ceny from the Minnesota Savings Bank
Of $5,9S3.
1t is also reported that the assistant
county attorney will nolle the indict-
ment against Louis Zschau.
1t is said in this connection that
Pinkerton detective has been in the
same cell with Louis during his in
generation, in the hope that he would
reveal something, but that Louis did
rot give away anything, if, indeed,
he knew anything.

NOW IT'S NIGHTFALL.
New Bicycle Ordinance About the
Lighted LAMPS

The committee on streets from the board
of aldermen held a session yesterday after
noon. The bicycle ordinance of Assemblyman
Albrecht was amended so as to provide that
no person Shall ride a wheel either on the
streets sidewalks in any part of the citv
after nightfall without having attached there
to lighted lantern.
Aid. Kenny made an effort to have the
ordinance designating Smith park as a pub
lie market recommended to pass. His idea
was to pass the ordinance and then allow
some one of the property owners to apply to
the courts for an injunction This would
Mr.. Kenny figured, allow the courts to pass
on the question, and if the city won would
give good market square. If the city lost
it would cost but little The ordinance, how
ever, was voted down. the only members of
the committee to sanction it being Aid.

BIGELOW HAS NO SHOW,
Mayor DOran Appoints COppcrs
Whether Here or Not

Acting Mayor .Bigelow is not saying much,
but he is doing a heap of thinking. 1t is
all on account of the manner in which the
regular mayor Of the city has of making ap-
pointments to the police force during his
absence from the city. Mayor Doran, who
evidently has no intention of having his po-
litical fences destroyed during his absence
from the city, had prepared before he left for
Gettysburg half dozen police commissions,
all duly filled out with the proper name in
serted These were handed to Secretary
Corning with instructions to lay them in
drawer and in case there should be a va
cancy on the force TO them to the best
advantage. Yesterday there was vacancy
on the force, and while Acting Mayor Bige-
low was looking over list of his constitu-
ents in the Fifth ward to pick out a good
man. the vacancy was filled by one of the
commissions left by Mayor Doran.
The new appointee, according to his appli-
cation, was named John c. Olson. Since
filing his application, however, Olson con-
cluded that there were so many of that name
in the city that he might be shut out in
some way and accordingly he had his name
changed by the district court to John Arnold
Helmer. Under this name he was appointed
to the force, his commission stating that
he was appointed July 1 by Mayor Doran.

ABOUT STREET PAVING,
Board of Public Works Discussed
Several Rad Places

The board of pubic works yesterday award
ed the contract for the construction of
sewer on Gaultier and Sycamore streets to
Charles Stone. The city engineers estimate
was $9,172, but Stone agreed to do the work
for $7,S45. contract for grading Emma
street was also awarded to Thomas Ryan at
$125. The order for the paving of Market
street, between Third and Sixth streets.
was laid over for two weeks Capt. Berkey
and NJ. W. Cole objected to the repaving of
the street at this time. He said it was not
much Travelled, and could wait year. Mr.
Cole took the same view. George Benz said
the street, especially between Fourth and
Fifth streets, was in bad shape. He could
not afford to pay the assessment, but would
make no objection to the repaving if it was
ordered. majority of the property owners
not having been heard from, the hearing
was postponed In the matter of repaving
Hill and Washington streets the board after
a consultation with the property owners, de-
cided to tear out the cedar blocks and fix
up the streets with gravel and cnders An
assessment viii be made the property
fronting on the streets to pay for this kind
of repairs.
The salaries of the street commissioners
were fixed for the nextnsix months at the
same figures as now paid. The head COM

the other five $75

CITY SMOKE oRDIkANCE.
The Supreme Court y Practically
knocks 1t Out.

The action of the municipal court
in imposing a fine upon Alfred john
son, engineer fer the Edison Electric
Light company, for allowing dense
smoke to escape from the smoke stack
OF the cOmpany'S pant On Cedar street,
was reversed by the supreme court yes
terday The syllabus in the case can
be found in another column of this
paper. Justice Canty handed down the
opinion, and Justice Collins is the DIS
senting member of the court.
The city is beaten because the WORD
Servant is omitted in section z or the
act, which applies especially to build
ingS AS the ordinance bears every
evidence of having been carefully
drawn, and is very specific in its pro-
visions, it is held that inasmuch as
the servants are not mentioned In con-
nection with the clause on buildings,
they cannot be held liable Tor the
creation of a nuisance when they allow
smoke to escape from the chimneys OF
the establishments where they are en-
ployed
Section 1 of the ordinance is very
general and takes in everybody, but
section 2 holds owners, agents, opera
tors or servants on locomotives or
steamboats, liable for the creation of
nuisance, if smoke is allowed to es-
cape, but when it comes to buildings
occupant This is held to let the serv-
ant out, although section 3, which con-
tains the penalty, again brings in the
servant as well as everybody else who
could be connected with an engine,
boat or building. -al
The majority of the court holds that
as a rule the specific provision should
control the general and indefinite, and
that this iis' the only 9tinterpreta tion
/ which would give any effect at. all to
section 2 of this ordinance, as that Sec
tion is very explicit and clearly eX-
cepts servants. The rule is applied that
the expression of one thing is the eX-
clusion of another. That interpreta-
ton is favored which gives effect to
every part of the ordinance, --
Judgment is reversed, and the case is
remanded with direction to dismiss the
/ case.
Justice Collins says he is obliged to
dissent; that the council endeaVored to
pass on ordinance that would abolish
this smoke nuisance altogether was
obvious from the title and from the
provisions of section 1, declaring all
persons who allowed the escape of
dense smoke guilty of creating nuis-
ance.
Section 2, he holds, was the result Of
an industrious effort on the part OF
the council to make the ordinance ef-
fective He says the rule that a con-
struction was never to be adopted
| would defeat an enactment always.
Furthermore, Justice Collins says he
does not want to put the council in
the apparent position of going out Of
| it's way to punish the men in charge
of locomotives and steamboats,, which
were almost constantly on the move,
and much less annoying than the
Smokestacks of factories and other
buildings, while those in charge of the
plants in buildings, which frequently
emitted the most offensive smoke, were
exempted The conviction of Johnson
should be upheld.

THEY FOUND A FUNNY LOCK,
Ant 1t Cost James Anderson Eight
Dollars.

James Anderson, an unsophisticated young
man hailing from Kingston, Mnn., was
fieeced out of SIS in money and revolver on
the time-worn "lock'' game by a trio of
confidence men yesterday morning. Shortly
after losing his property he reported the
affair to the police, and Detectives Werrick
and Wells arrested Charles Norris and M.
Jacobson on suspicion. When searched at
the central station two "locks" used in the
swindling trick and polceman's star were
found in Norris shoe. Norris was identified
by Anderson as one of the men who had
buncoed him. Norris is charged with swim
ding and Jacobson with vagrancy.
The trick was turned near the new capitol
site. Anderson had visited the grounds to
view the building at the invitation of a
stranger. While inspecting the grounds, An
derson's companion accosted a man whom he
said he knew. This individual was fumbling
brass lock which he said he had found
After each had examined the lock the second
stranger, whom Anderson Identifies as Norris,
bet him he could not open it, Anderson ac-
cepted the wager and continued betting until
a third man rushed upon the scene, displayed
a police star and threatened to arrest the en-
tire company On the charge of gambling.
Anderson was frightened, and when the de
tective'' finally decided not to make the ar
rest he was glad to go without trying to get
his moneg back. The prisoners will be ar
raigned In the police court today.

Letters and resolutions representing the

thoroughly, have been sent to Washington
some OF them to the president direct. others
to the senators, condemnng the proposed
appointment, and asking that it be not made.
If made, the senators asked to use all
their influence to defeat 1t. Pressure has
also been brought to bear but with what
success I do not know, upon senators from
other states who supposed to be more or
less friendly to labor interests, and from all
l can learn, if the president makes the ap-
pointment an effort will be made to prevent
