American ingenuity leads the world in
mechanical hne, especially in bicycle ma
chnery, according to the great English
technical journal Engineering. The Amer
lean makers have stepped in the field,
reached the top notch, and are at the
present time reaping a rich harvest in
selling at their own price special cycle
making machinery which cannot be pur-
chased from British manufacturers.

A bicycle rider who is about to take
up bicycle racing as a pastime, would do
well to get himself examined by a medi-
cal man in order to discover if any weak
ness exists in his system, as many an
athlete has ruined himself by severe racing
and training when his system was alto
gether unable to bear the strain.-Amer-

DIR. MARVIN's MONEY.
The Estate Goes to His Second WIfe's
Second Husband.

From the Atlanta Constitution.
That one does not need to delve into
the realms of fiction for the unique and
curious is proven by the story of the late
DR.. w. Marvin and his wives.
1t was somewhere back in the seventies
that there appeared in Atlanta a GENTLE
man of large and solid build, wearing an
immense crop of brown whiskers immac-
ulate as to the blaekness of his dress
which was accompanied by shining silk
hat and a gold-headed cane Dr. Marvin
was a specialist. That is. he cured dis
eases which everybody else had given up
and when the medical colleges of the land
acknowledged that their science was at an
end, it was then that DIR. Marvin came
in and collected big fees, even IL he did
not cure the patient.
He was jovial man-this DR. Marvin
a boon companion and one whose COM
pany was always agreeable to such gen,
tlemen as he favored with It. But 60 see
DR.. Marvin at his best would be IN some
parlor, where, in the presence of beauty,
ne could bow his acknowledgements with
the grace of "A Chesterfield. II Is no
wonder that a man thus gifted should
have found favor with his female patients,

ed IN this case, for the new Mrs. Marvin
lived but short time, when she passed
away and left as her only heir the griev-
Ing husband.
The doctor was one of those mon who

heavy crepe to hang heavily upon him, but
soon made his way into the heart OF Miss

well-known family Of that name In this

During all this time the doctor, who was
successful IN his own interests, had added
greatly 70 the fortune which his nrst

The suit of l.. j. Guilmartin again-t the
Middle Georgia and Atlantic Railroad
Company and the Central of Georgia Rail-
road Company for injunction and receiv-
er. was not heard in the superior court
yesterday as assigned. On motion of the
defendants it was continued until Feb.

time the former restraining order, issued
by Judge Falligant, remains of force pre-
venting the Central from turning over
the bonds paid as purchase money to the
Middle Georgia, and Atlantic until the
further order of the court. The object of
the suit. as is well known, is to have the
bonds so paid, substituted as a guarantee
for the payment of the bonds of the
Eatonton Branch railroad. for which the
Middle Georgia and Atlantic railroad
property was the guarantee before its
sale.

NO.NEwS OF THE ELLIDA.
The Norwegian Cruiser Expected TO
Arrive Any Day.

No news was received yesterday from
the Norwegian Corvette Eliida which left
Pensacola last Wednesday for Savannah.
1t is not unlikely that she may have ar
rived off Tybee last night. In that event
she will probably come up TO the city.
The officers of the Ellida were cordially
received at Pensacola and have been en-
tertained by the clubs and citizens of the
ports they have visited. The officers of
the revenue cutter service in port, the
collector of customs and probably a COM
mittee from the city council and from the
corvette and extend them a formal well
come to the city. The clubs will probably
extend them some form of entertainment.
The fact that a large portion of the
foreign vessels trading at this port sail
under the Norwegian flag makes the visit
of the Ellida, as a representative of the
Norwegian government, matter of some
import to the commercial interests of the

Department Manager T. S. Lowry of the
Union Central Life Insurance Company of
Cincinnati has just arrived in Savannah to
pay the death claim of John w. Wyness,
who was shot by Patrick Kearney. This
was straight life insurance and is in no.
wise connected with the accident insur-
ance about which there has been so much
talk It is rather a singular circumstance
that the money TO pay the loss arrived in
Savannah the day his murderer was con-
victed and sentenced to the penitentiary
for life.
The agency of this company has been
placed in the hands of Mr.. George w.
Drummond, who has opened an office at
No. 10 Bay street. east Mr. Drummond is
well known in Savannah, and his friends
have no doubt that he will meet with sue
