The Bicycle Jumped a Fence

A correspondent in Montreal writes:
cat the annual meeting of the Montreal
Bicycle club, held here on Aug. 2Sth, a
remarkable cycling accident happened.
1t occurred in the first heat of the two
mile tandem race, when, during a squirt
in the last lap at the far curve on the
south side of the grounds, where the
track curves up against the fence sur
rounding the grounds, the tandem rid
den by L. S. Robertson and j. Drury be-
came unmanageable. The machin
actually jumped the fence, which is over
three feet high, and the pedals of the one
ridden by Provencher and Eaves becom-
ing entangled with it, their machine
followed it. The four men and the two
machines disappeared over the fence
as if the earth had swallowed them I'D.
Beyond few bruises to the men. and a
broken chain on one of the machine s
no damage was done. ,Provencher and
Eaves were able to ride in the final
neat, but Robertson had to go home in
a cab. 1t was a remarkable incide.n t
and a wonder that any of the riders
escaped without broken bores."-

DENOUNCED THE BOOK AGENT
Monsignar Seton Warns His CoDgre
gator Against a Fraud.

Monsignor Seton, pastor of St. Joseph's
Church., yesterday morning announced
from the pulpit that there was an impos-
ter going about among the people Of the
parish selling books of a religious char
acter, such as the lives of various saints
and books of Christian doctrine. The fell
low, he sad, claimed that ne was au-
thorized by MonsigTaor Seton to sell the
books and many of the u~nsuspecting par
isfaoners bought the books.
A buyer met one of the priests of ST.
Joseph's and told him that she had bought
a book as recommended by Monsignor Sc
tom. Thinking something was wrong, the
priest reported the affair to Monsignor
Seton, who knew nothing about the agent
or his books.
Monsignor Seton. in speaking about the
visit of the imposter to his parish, said
There Is a man going about the parish
selling books of religion. He claims to
be authorized by me. l have authorized
no n to sell books in my parish, and de-
nounce the man as an imposter. If any
of my par.shioners wish any religious
Books they can procure them through
rae or through my assistants. l am sor-
ry II any OF my people have bought the
books, as | did n ot give any authority
to any one to go about selling books"
AT eleven o'clock mass yesterday morn
lag Monslgnor Seton warned the congre-
cation again of the man, and told them
that should he call to turn him over to
the police: 1t lis not known exactly how

An unusual event took place yesterday

Congregational Church. 1t is the GUS
tom of the church to baptize by sprink-
ling, though there is no rule against
immersion. Two ladies who recently
Joined the church believe in baptism only
by immersion and joined the Congrega-
tional Church on condition that they be
immersed. There is no baptistry in either
the Tabernacle or Congregational Church.
The Tabernacle and the Parrnly Memoir
ial Church have always been friendly
and the Tabernacle has frequently done
favors for the Baptist Church, SUCH as
lending ~stereopticon appliances. So the
Rev. John L. Scudder asked the Parnnly
Memorial Church for the use of the
baptistry and received the consent of the
church, At five O'Clock yesterday after
noon Mrs. and Miss Parkinson were In
mersed by Mr.. Scudder. 1t was the first
time Mr.. Scudder had immersed anyone.
A number OF the members of the Con

Of John sherman, the leadership

pearance of John sherman, the leadership
is the same.
President Mckinley. in bringing this
dangerous body upon our hands, pro-
claims that he has no sympathy with the
notion that the presence of Congress at
Washington is a menace to the business
interests of the country. We wish we
could share his confidence. He is calling
Congress together mainly to pass a tariff
measure in satisfaction of his bargain
with the men who nominated him. 1t is
doubtful, as vet. how far the leaders will
dare go in restoring the old standard of
protection, There is ground for hope
that Thomas B. Reeds views on this
question have been seriously modified
since the sessions of the Billion Congress,
and as he has a grudge to settle with
the President. it is possible tina the cor
morants may not get all the satisfaction
they would like.
But the President has no means of
uniting the action of Congress to the
tariff. In fact, a much more urgent work
VIII be the passage of appropriation bills
in place Of the wicked steals which Presi-
dent Cleveland refused to sign. So, when
the Houses get the bit in their teeth, and
begin talking n legislating and reso-
luting, what with. Hawaii and Cuba and
Venezuela. and Mexico. and Greece. and
Heaven knows what other place. it is
more than likely that before Major Nc
Kinley has Congress on his hands many
weeks. he viii be apt to wish he hadn't.
The people have M consolation in the
turn things have taken. They will know
the worst soon-and, if it comes to that,
it cannot be much worse thar those who
know Major Mckinley n his party ex-
pected.
