COL. MAGRUDER DEAD
The Treasurer Of the Board Of Public
Works Passes Away.

Colonel James Alexander Magruder, one
OF the oldest and best known residents OF
Georgetown. died yesterday afternoon at
the home of his nieces Mrs. Z. A. Whelan
and Miss Zeller. at 3Ol9 p street, after an
illness of some months. The death proved
to be sad blow to his many friends. and
will be regretted by all who knew him.
The deceased was q native Of George
town. having been born January lG 1915.
which would make him exactly elghty-one
years and five months Of age. Most OF
his life was spent In Georgetown, where
he received his early education and train
ing. Soon after he became Of age he went
to Washington county. Nd, where he en-
barked In the commission business Later
ne returned to Georgetown. which at the
time was great shipping center. and en-
tered In the same business on Water street.
along with a large number of other resi-
dents OF Georgetown, all Of whom have
become more or less prominent.
Services During the War.
Just at the time the war was threaten
ing Colonel Magruder was with General
Meigs In erecting fertilization In Virginia
around the city. When the war came on
he was commissioned as major of the 18TH
New York Engineers. His regiment was
Immediately ordered to the front. The

under steady fire from the enemy. soon
after going to the front he was promoted
to the rank of lieutenant colonel, and he
held that position until the close of the
war. He was a personal friend of General
Grant. From the repeated cannonading
Colonel Magruder became deaf. but beyond
this he suffered no other serious injuries
from the struggle.
Prior to entering the army he was a
member OF the common council of George
town, and had held the office for some
years. He did not embark in business i'm
medately after the war, and as soon as
General Grant became President one of his
hrst acts was the appointment of Colonel
Magruder as collector of the port of
Georgetown. At the conclusion Of the term
OF this office General Grant appointed Col
Magruder as a member of the board uf
public works. the other members Of which
were Ex-Governor Cook and Ex-Governor
Alex. r. Shepherd. Messrs. S. p. Brown
and A. B. Mullett. Col. Magruder was
treasurer of this board during its entire
continuance. This was the last public
work the deceased ever performed as.
when the board was legislated out of exist
ence In 1874 he Immediately retired from
active life.

attach it to 4 ratchet wheel, which re-
wolves about the hub of the front wheel.
These rods work up and down like the
piston rods of an engine, and in that
way accelerate the motion in great de-
gree.
This invention is a marked departure
from those designed to give motion to
n bicycle without the riders aid.
Gasoline, electricity and petroleum
have all been incorporated in the differ
emit ideas which have taken shape as
bicycle impellers. The sailing bicycle
is also an adaptation of the same idea,
and has been fairly successful when
under the control of a skillful rider who
is also a master of the art of handling
a sail. On the western prairies where
the wind blows strong and steady the
sail on a bicycle has been utilized with
fine results.-N. Y. Journal.

CYCLING
CHATTER.

American bicycles must certainly be
preferred in all parts of the world to
any other makes, if the values of the ex-
PORTS of bicycles and cycle merchandise,
as given by the United States treasury
department, are criterion. Few per-
sons besides those directly interested
have a fair conception of the immense
number of wheels that are monthly ex-
ported to various foreign countries. The
great demand for American-made
wheels is a great tribute to the skill of
the manufacturers of this nation and
the quality of their productions.
During the month of September the
value of bicycles and cycle sundries ex-
ported to foreign countries was $780,
S32. Estimating the value of each wheel
to be $25, that would be an equivalent
TO the sale for export alone of 12,113
wheels in one month, or 4s4 wheels per
day. These figures are for export only.
They will convey fair idea of the
magnitude of the cycle industry in this
country.
During the nine months of 1896, in
Guiding September, the value of eX-
ports of American bicycles and sundries
was $3,155,657. Allowing $25 as the
average value, these figures would be
equivalent to 126, GIG bicycles shipped in
nine months, or an average of 14,06S
per month, or 500 per day. Thus, it will
be seen that the exports for September
were somewhat lower than the average.
Great Britain was the heaviest pur-
chaser, the exports to that country for
the month amounting to $106,714; for
the nine months, 81, O2O, 791-a decrease
of nearly $4,000 from the average for
the nine months. The figures for the
nine months show an average ship
ment per month following $25 per
wheel, of 4O,S3S wheels, which is at the
rate of $4,537 per month, 20 working
days to the month"; or 1s1 per day. Ger
tainly there must be some superiority
of American-made wheels over British
productions, when the demand for
American cycles is so great as to re-
quire an expectation of an average of
1000 wheels per day. The following
table shows the value of bicycle ship
ments:

Hopper and ChImmie Fadden.

Chimmie Fadden, like the happening
Of many other fortunate things, got into a
play by accident. Mr.. Charles Hopper,
who has been before the public for quite a
long while, and who was known as a
comedian of versatile talent, had never
seemed to hit exactly the right thing for
himself. He had played German and Irish
characters, and had sung and danced and
starred in farce and melodrama. Summer
before last he was in the Lambs club,
New York, and was seated at a table
scratching his head over a manuscript be-
fore him. On the other side of the table
sat Augustus Thomas. Mr.. Thomas asked
him the cause of his trouble, and Mr..
Hopper explained that he thought there
was material for good play in the work
before him, 1.-The Vale of Avoca," but it
needed an expert hand to put it into shape.
Mr.. Thomas observed that he did not think
there was much show for plays Of the type
Of 1.-THE Vale of Avoca," but he was sure
there was good play latent in the Chin
mic Fadden sketches of Mr.. Edward
Townsend. The attention Of Mr. Hopper
was aroused, more talk followed, and the
two went up to see Mr.. Townsend. The
result was the play in which Mr.. Hopper
has made the hit of his life

New Electric Cycle Lamp,

An ingenious but complicated contriv-
ance for lighting the way of the benighted
cycler has just been patented. 1t is an
electric lamp constructed upon principle
never before applied to such purpose. The
lamp is supplied with electricity produced
by a generator attached to the rear fork,
with an armature revolved by band run
ming from grooved wheel on the rear hub.
1t is oontended by the inventor that when
going at moderate speed light of normal
candle power is produced, and, of course,
the faster the rider pedals the more light
he will generate. The principal advantage
of this lamp over other electric lamps Is
that it has no battery and is therefore not
so heavy or clumsy as the other electric
apparatus 1t is claimed that only bulb
would be needed on the head of the wheel
connected with the generator by fine
wire.
This looks simple, but it is doubtful if
the generator will be easily kept in proper
working order. Tho utility of the inven-
ton will be put 60 practical test, however,
and If the inventors claims for it are vcri-
fed it will undoubtedly become popular.

HARVESTING THE WIND.

~ new bicycle improvement makes
the cyclist Join hands with the wind.
The combination, it is claimed, develops
exceedingly high speed. The inventor,
NJ. Demange, of Commercy, France, de-
clares that by his plan the cyclist may
ride at speed of from 10 to Is miles an
hour with no eXertion at all, except that
required in guiding the machine.
The continuance is in form sort of a
turbine arrangement, something like a
gourd followed out, cut in 'gores," and
the 'gores" turned little on their axes.
This turbine is placed on dual rods,
vertically attached to the forward
wheel of the bicycle. A bar projects
from the center of the handle bars out
ward, and to this is attached the top Of
the turbine.
The turbine revolves on its axis and
catches enough wind to give the for
ward wheel an added impetus. No mat
ter from what direction the wind blows
the turbine catches it, and by attach
ment with the hub of the front wheel
communicates some of the force ofthe
wind to the wheel. The turbine prac-
tically neutralizes the effect of beam
wind.
The twisting of the turbine in its
rotary motion works on the rods that

From Sherman comes the Information
that strong effort is being made TO
get up a combination club in Sherman
and DenisOn to join the Texas aSSO-
citation. On this subject an Austin
enthusiast writes to n San Antonio
friend as follows: THE idea has
struck me that this may be done. and
get Waco and Temple TO do likewise.
! am informed that Temple is a great
baseball town. and if the combination
can be worked it would help out the
league greatly. There is no doubt in
my mind but what an pight-Club
league is the best. | would not favor
Paris, by reason of the long jump
coupled with the fact Of il being n
small town and nothing but guaran-
tee could be depended upon. even on
Sundays and holidays. But Waco
and Temple are centrally located. and
If Sunday games could not he
played in Waco these games could be
played in Temple. The reason no
Sunday ball has been allowed in Waco
heretofore was because of a hide
bound sheriff. but / am informed that
they now have a very liberal man in
office who would perhaps allow it. !
