II is being talked about town that
the mission of n prominent merchant
who went to San Francisco recently,
is for no other purpose than to COM
plete arrangements for the introduce
ton of rubber carriage tires into the
Islands.
The plan of this merchant is to Sc
cure the exclusive franchise for these
Islands. This accomplished he will
Immediately set about to establish a
factory to turn out the wheels. There
is no doubt but that there is money
to be made in such scheme, as the
present rush for the wheels would
indicate that.
One of the first to import rubber
tires was Frank Hustace. Others who
have secured them are John S. Walk
err, Gus Schuman, Willard Z. Brown,
Mrs. Paul Isenberg, and many others.
At least dozen carriage owners
have sent to San Francisco by the last
two steamers for sets of these tires.
The hackmen say that it is only a
matter of time before they too must
get them. George Wells of "32" stand
has already complied with the request
of his customers. George Peterson,
John Andrade, Manuel Refs, Joe Luca
and a number of other hackmen. will
have replaced their present hard steel
tires by New Years Day.
a set of rubber tires cost $40 in
San Francisco. 1t is understood that
the Island manufactures intends to
put out the wheels for the same price
A guarantee of five years is given by
the manufacturers.
There are a great many advantages
in using the tires. There is no noise.
the carriage rides much easier. there
is no jar to the carriage. avoiding
considerable wear and tear and loos-
ening of bolts. It is impossible TO
have any wrenching off of wheels on
the tram car tracks.
The hard rubber is fitted snugly
into groove of steel. Through it
run two copper wires welded together
by electricity.

The lives of three young ladies were
blotted out last Sunday by lightning
while they were on their way home
from church at Jacobsburg, Ohio, near
Wheeling, w Va. The victims were
Misses Minnie Mcclure, A pa Taylor
and Emma White, each aged about
nineteen years. Miss Sarah Bohring
was stunned by the lightning. The
young ladies were walking together in
the road about 100 yards from the
church when they were struck by
lightning. 1t is generally believed
that the steel corsets worn by the
girls that were killed were the chief
cause of their deaths, as Miss Bohring,
who was only stunned, wore no corset.
