Lyons, where for eight days his life was
despaired of. In this interval, his de-
moralized army crossed into Switzerland
and to the Swiss authorities.
In spite of the seriousness of his wound.
General Bourbaki began to improve to-
wards February 9, and on February 10, he
was out of danger, though it was not UNI
til July, 1871, that he was pronounced
cured. M. Theirs then gave General Bour-
baki the m of the Eighth Military
Division and of the Sixth Army Corps, and
while occupying this important position
on Bourbaki had to sustain the Project
of Lyons, M. Vanentin, against a number
of insurrectional enterprises upon the part
OF the population and to carry out the dis
arming of the National Guard.
Later, when the Grand commands were
created, General Bourbaki received, with
the title of Military Governor of Lyons,
that of Commander of the Fourteenth
Army Corps, which command he retained
until 1879, when he was replaced by Gem
eral Fare. When he attained the age
limit, on April %, 1881, Genera Bourbaki,
for political reasons, was not retained in
the First section of the General Staff Of
the army, although he nae held a
Supreme Command before the enemy.
This aroused sympathy for the General
and an effort was made to raise a sub
scription for him: but. Bourbaki pro-
tested and the matter was dropped.

The Regular FAN Election.

AS a result of the Court of Appeals de-
eision in the MayoraIty case, the only
orices to be filed at the November cleo
ton IN this county will be the eleven seats
In the Assembly. This fact may tend to
diminish the interest Of the voters a1
large in the election. and a very light
vote is likely to be polled.
we consider that the Democratic Party
organisation should not look upon the
occasion In that way. A terrible mistake
was made last year In allowing the de-
feat Of the Democratic Assembly X
1t must not be repeated this year. The
whole energy Of the party must be ex-
erted To secure a Democratic representa-
ton for the county at Trenton.
The names mentioneG in connection
with the nomination are excellent. The
ticket, IL made up in accordance with the
present Indications. will easily win the
popular support. The issues are all IN
eur favor. There is the Macarthur bill
to be rebuked. We have to punish the
Republican party for the bunco game
which its leaders have attempted to play
upon US in connection with the railroad
tax a-pportienment.
Duty and opportunity combine at the
present crisis. The party must not be
found wanting.

TROUBLES OF A WHEELNAE.
Mr. AFmbruster Learns TO Ride
with Varied success.

The many friends of Billy Armbruster
of the Greenville Schuetzen Park, are
having a good deal of go~od-natured
amusement over his efforts to ride a BIZ
cycle. 1t was only after an enormous
amount of coaxing that Billy was
finally induced to try. Last night about
eleven o'clock, when the Boulevard was
all but deserted, was the time Mr.. William
chose for his first attempt
After the tires of the bicycle had been
nicely inflated and Billy had picked out
a couple of his friends, whom he could
look to for support in his trials, the fun
began. ~
Now hold hat darn thing, will you?"
says Billy, sit seems to be going over the
sidewalk
On being assured that it was all right
Willie made another attemppt. This time
he got fairly started, when several riders
were seen approaching or the other side
of the road. 1t was then that Billy be-
came scared.
LET me get off his thing before they
run into ME, or l will nave to pay for all
the bicycles if they get smashed"
His friends wouldn't let him get off and
told him so, and added that if he wanted
TO get OI he WOuiQ nave 10 ldil OIL. Oily
did nicely for about ten minutes, but
seemed to be afraid that every rider that
came along was going to smash into him.
He was so elated over his success that
he promptly treated the crowd and sailed
out to AXE another fall out of the wheel.
This time there was surely something the
matter with the bicycle for it would not
go etraight and seemed to lean oward
the gutter, as though it was tired. Billy
couldn't make out what the trouble was
after he had been so successful in his
first attempt. He said the handle bars
were crooked, the seat was too low, the
wheels did not turn straight, n in fact
the whole wheel was out Of gear.
MI. William then gave it up for the
evening, but said he would try again
later. 1t was then that he was surrounded
by about twenty wheelmen, all advising
him to get this and hat kind of a wheel
if he was going to ride, until he was tired
No two bicycles mentioned were of the
same make. but all were the best. Now,
wherever Billy goes, he has to listen to
sarcastic remarks about the bicycle and
htS riding N

BOARD OF TRADE MEETS
Telegraph. Trolleys and Dollar
Gas Occupy It's Attention
South Cove to Be
Discussed.

The Board of Trade held its first meet
ing after the summer recess last even
ing, and in addition to the transaction
Of routine bushes discussed several
topics of general interest. The meeting,
however, was a short one. Secretary
TAFT read a communication from the
University of Wisconsin, asking the
Board its opinion as to whether the tele-
graph service in this city was satisfac-
tory. The communication was, without
discussion. referred to James P. Hall,
with Instructions to answer it.
Myron j. Furst, chairman of the Com
mittee on Street S%prinkling, reported that
the Street and Water Board had agreed
to communicate with the Corporation
Counsel to find out if there was not some
law by which the trolley car companies
could be compelled to sprinkle their tracks
in the city. This was some time ago.
said Mr.. Furst, 'but / have heard moth
ing of the matter"
The Secretary was instructed to write
to the Corporation Counsel concerning the
matter.
Several members wanted to know the
present status of the South Cove con-
troversy and the chairman of the Com
mittee on Municipal Affairs was request
ed to invite ex-senator William D.. Ed
wards to be present at the next meeting
and tell the Board something about it.
The secretary was directed to write to
the clerk of the city of Philadelphia for
a copy of the recent proposition of the
United Gas Improvement Company to
that city for a thirty years lease of the
city's gas plant, promising, in addition to
handsome retail figures, to furnish gas at
81 a-thousand feet. Myron J.. Furst,a who
introduced the resolution, said that every
effort to secure dollar gas for this city
had been defeated by the United Gas
Company, the invariable cry Of which
was that it could not afford to furnish
gas at such a figure. Mr.. Furst thought
that if the company could furnish Phila-
delphia with dollar gas there was no rea-
son why Jersey City should not also
secure it at the same figure.
William T.. Sullivan was elected a MEM
Der of the Board.
Prior to the meeting of the Board, the
Board of Trustees held a meeting, but
transacted only routine business.

There can be no doubt that the schedule
Of prices adopted by the Street and Water
Board to check certain evils in bidding
for contracts is a failure. 1t may be
added tina 1t deserved to be n could
not have failed to be a failure. 1t was
adopted in accordance with no existing
necessity, simply to silence the malicious
and mischievous bowling of an unscrupu-
fous which had lent itself to
4 mean and contemplate conspiracy
against an individual.
The schedule Of prices, as tending to
restrict free competition, is a legal mon
stfosfty, and beyond all doubt a writ of
esftiorari would result in setting aside
any contract awarded under it's opera
4lon. The notion that the Board could
establish . minimum price for work and
then advertise for the lowest bid is
screaminsly funny in itself. But 1t Ii
really no mors ridiculous thar setting a
maximum price. which. if 1t is too low to
be fair for any given case. is a mere
incentive to interior Workmanship.
The law provides for free bidding, ope
composition upon specifications prepared
BY the engineering force OF the Board.
These Specifications are the same for one
bidder - fer another. The claim that
they adsnit Of f~rauduiently low figures
on one or more items In a piece Of work
In order to reduce the general average OF

ter can bid as low as another. Anyway,
