They Hire- Bicycles From Local
Dealers and Abandon Them.

Dealers ana ABANDON 1netn.
Eight bicycles have been reported to the
police as stolen on Sunday last an already
six OF them have been recovered By De-
tectiye Boardman, who has been especially
assigned &c look after missing wheels.
There las recently sprung up a practice
among unscrupulous wheelmen of renting
wheels of various dealers, leaving d small
deposit and then riding the wheels away
wherever they see fit tandabandoning them.
Unless the party so doing is caught in an
attempt TO sell or dispose of the machine
there is no law which will punish him as a
thief and the only redressi is iii Al civil action,
provided the man can be captured.
The losers last Sunday by this means
were Robinson & Co.. three wheels; William
D. Hadger, two; Harry s Gather. one; Hig-
ham x Foy, one, and Dimmick & Co. one
In each case the parties leasing the b-
cycles promised to return them that day.
Upon their failure to do so the cases We're
reported ct police heaiqua rters, and
referred to Detective Roardman.
Yesterday three of the missing wheels
We're recovered at the office of the Adams
Express Company, by which means they
had been sent to fictitious names and adj
dresses in Washington from Fairfax. Va,
evidently by trio who simply wanted
to ride them from Washington. Two
others were recovered on the streets Of
Baltimore. where they had been a ban tIoned
by parties renting them.
The sixth machine Detective Boardrnan
found also abandoned on B street. between
First and Second streets northeast One
of the wheels. not yet recovered. is the
property of Robinson & Co., and the other
belongs to Diinnick & Co.
Policeman Estes, of the bicycle squad,
has recovered three stolen saddles and a

claimed. ) /,

There is not only q gigantic pool in
wheat, but also two or three of the strong
est pools in the stock market that have
ever operated, at the present time. The
wheat pool has been exploited considerably
ana is fairly well known even to the out
side reader, who does not know of pools
except through the newspaper columns.
Il may be said that the st. Louis wheat
pool is still at work actively, and shows
no signs CT ceasing its operations. st. Louis
was a good buyer Of wheat yesterday,
Something over a million bushels were
bought yesterday morning. OF the stock
market pools, however, not so much is
known, though the New York papers are
perfectly aware that they are operating
all the time, and successfully. Very few.
probably, know who are behind them. but
the result of their operations is seen every
