SLASHING THE BEN-HURS.
Receiver of the Central Company
Cuts Things i'm Two.

c. B. lockwood, receiver for the Central
Cycle Company, yesterday began a cut
rate sale of Ben-Hur bicycles the first step
toward a quick realization on the assets Of
the company. Advertisements appeared in
the morning papers announcing that per-
sons wishing to purchase bicycles would
find it to their interest to call at the retail
store. Those who did cell were surprised at
the prices at which wheels were offered.
The '97 model wheel which heretofore sold
for SIS was offered at $50 cash, while a COM
bination wheel, made UP of SO and 81
parts was offered at SIS cash There were
many sales during the day. The SIS wheel
has $50 frame but is fitted with 81 tires,
saddle and gearing. There are also some
wheels which have been used slightly
which the receiver is sacrificing.
The cut-rate sale attracted good deal
of attention in Cycle row. This is the
third concern to cut prices. The Patee
people began it in this city by reducing
their $50 wheel to $40 and then to S29. Then
came the cut of the Columbia wheel from
500 to $75. Now the Ben-Hur is in compe-
tition with the price cutters
Recently Jap Clemens brought a lot of
wheels from Chicago and began selling
them at auction. They brought ridiculous
a depressing effect upon the regular trade.
but the regular dealers declare that they
will maintain prices to the last. Most of
them however will take this opportunity
may make up their stock left over from
1896 by fitting frames with 81 tires, saddles
and gearing and offer the product at a
price to compete with the cut-rate fellows.
The regular dealers argue that If their
wheels are worth the prices asked for them
in the spring they are worth the same now,
and that il would be unfair TO people who
have already purchased wheels to sell them
for less now

a MISTAKE IN POLICY
BELIEF THAT MIR. CRANE WILL NOT
GAIN BY HIS NEW DEPARTURE.
Charge that the Baltimore & Ohio Has
Been Cutting Rates-MisceIIane-
Gus Railway News.

General Passenger Agent Crane, of the
Wabash said the general passenger agent
OF one of the indianapolis lines has made
mistake in putting on free reclining chair
cars between Chicago and Buffalo. In the
end he will gain nothing by doing so, as
other lines can put on free reclining chair
cars. 1t is really only new plan to re-
duce rates on the lines east out OF Chicago,
and surely they were low enough before for
the superior accommodations all the East
ern lines now furnish. The chair car was
introduced that the class of travel who
wanted little privacy from crowded day
coach could, by paying a small sum, secure
the accommodations that the chair car fur
nlshed, but if they are to be free to all the
chair car offers no better accommodations
than frst-class day coach A party of
ladies who are willing to pay for chairs
on account of the exemption from the
roughs on train who would not pay one
cent to ride in a chair car were they
charged for the seat can come in, occupy
chairs and make it very unpleasant for
other passengers as the porter of the car
has no authority such as he would have if
persons paid for their chairs" The general
passenger agent quoted says he rather
thinks that Mr.. Crane has taken this
method to advertise his new line and that
it will create such a disturbance that in a
short time they will be taken off or pas
sengers charged extra for riding in them;
but should he persist in making the chairs
free other roads will simply adopt the same
course and the best features of the reclining
car VIII be destroyed, as all classes of pas
sengers will take a chair car If it costs no
more to travel in it than in an ordinary
coach.

SUIT ON CIVIL SERVICE
DEPUTY MARSHAL TAYLOR SEEKS
TO ENJOIN THE MARSHAL.
Claims that His Position Is Included
in the Classified List-VariOus
Court Matters.

The question of whether or not the Office
deputies of the United States marshal are
protected by the civil-service law is to be
tested in the courts. Yesterday Charles P.
Taylor, one of the deputies appointed by
Marshal Hawkins, filed a petition in the
Federal Court asking an injunction to
prevent Marshal Kercheval from ousting
him and appointing his successor Aug. l.
The petition sets forth that in November,
1896, President Cleveland extended the civil
service classification so as to cover the office
deputies of the marshals and that the
orator has always performed his work
in a satisfactory manner. 1t further de-
clares that Marshal Kercheval has notified
him that he will GUST him Aug. l and that
he does not make idle threats. 1t further
declares that the only reason for dis
charging him is that he is a Democrat.
Judge Baker was unable to hear the Pc
tition before leaving for his summer vaca-
ton and by agreement the hearing went
over till September. the marshal agreeing
to retain the present deputies until the
matter is decided.
