THE BRICE COMBINATION
1T Is DENIED THAT ITHAS SECURED
THE DETROIT a MACKINAW.
Annual Meetings of the Lake shore
and NickeI-PIate-Items of MisceI-
IaneOus Railway News.

The statement that the Brice syndicate
had secured control Of the reorganized De-
troit q Mackinaw Railway which extends
from Bay City to Alpena, 100 miles and has
under construction the extension to Mack
NAV, meets with vigorous denial The
report goes on to say that the Detroit e.
Mackinaw was to be connected with the
Cincinnati, Jackson Il Mackinaw, which is
a Brice syndicate line, by building from
Jackson via Lansing to Bay City. One who
knows the situation fully says that the De-
troit & Mackinaw does not belong to the
Brice combination, but to j. p. Morgan &
Co, and is not in the market 1t is true,
however, that Mr.. Brice is gathering few
Michigan railroads into his fold, and the
Cincinnati, Jackson & Mackinaw is one
of them. This road runs between Cincin-
natl and Jackson, and from Addison juno
ton to Allegan. 1t is understood that Mr.
Brice intends to extend his line to Alpena
or possibly TO Muskegon or Grand Haven,
either of which would give him excellent
lake facilities 1t is said that Brice made
the purchase of the Cincinnati, Jackson &
Mackinaw to prevent it from falling into
the hands of the Cincinnati, Hamilton q
Dayton, which had its eye on the prize evil
IDENTIFY regarding it as a valuable conjunc-
ton. Brice now owns the Lake Erie &
Western and the Lima Northern, a COM
paratively new road, which runs between
Akron and Cleveland 1t is evident that the
Hon. Calvin Brice, who won his spurs in
the railroad arena when he paralleled the
Lake Shore between Chicago and Buffalo
with the Nickel-plate, and forced Vanderbilt
to buy it at a figure which made him sew
eral times a millionaire, is laying his ropes
to become one of the great big railroad
kings. w. +. Hackedorn. general solicitor
of the Brice lines, left for Ohio yesterday

From now on the police department will

1t is also the intention to punish riders

wheels with bells and lamps. A good many

Tr.inin. scbool Methods.

Prof Charles Emmerich of the Industrial
Training School, has outlined a plan for ar
ranging the school in departments, which
will be presented at the next session of the
School Board. Professor Emnlerich sug-
gests that eighty-one classes be placed UNI
der the technical supervision of heads of
departments, leaving seYenty-four classes

holds that one who has charge of depart

what he should teach. and should give
more time to the individual classes than is
possible under the present arrangement

SALOON KEEPERS REVENGE.
Criminal Court Refused to Be a Party

In the Criminal Courr yesterday Herman
Gaetz, of Haughville, was acquitted of the
charge of selling liquor without license.
James c. Ross, the prosecuting witness
was not present. The case presented some
peculiar phases, and the court, after hear
ing the evidence, decided that Ross, who
had made the affidavit, had been actuated
purely by motives of revenge. 1t was in
Ross's saloon, in Haughyille. that the al
leged offense Was committed. The evidence
developed that Gaetz was loafing in the
place one evening during the year 1896, and
was requested by the proprietor to stand
behind the bar while he made a trip to the
barber shop. Gaetz volunteered to keep
shop, and took his place in the rear Of the
bar. According TO The evidence Ross then
stepped up to the bar, and laying down a
dime, called for a glass of whisky. Gaetz
accepting the matter as q joke, poured out
the liquor and faked the dime into the
drawer. A few days tater he was arrested
on the charge of selling liquor without IL
cense, the name of Ross appearing on the
affidavit. 1t was shown in court that at the
time of the transaction in Ross's saloon
the latter was the defendant in a suit for
possession brought by Gaetz and took adj
vantage of an opportunity TO work mean
revenge.

AN EIGHTY-FoOT STREET.
Works Board to Open One for the
Park Entrance

The Board of Pul5lic Works has taken
up with the idea Of the Park Board and
yesterday decided to open street eighty
feet wide along White river. The street is
to extend from the iron bridge over the
river at Washington street to the old
wooden bridge at the National road. a half
block north of the iron bridge. This action
is urged by JJosephaF Flack and other
West-side residents who want a more con-
ward after it is CONSTRUCTED on the east
side of the river. The engineer was direct
ed to prepare papers for opening the street
yesterday. 1t is not the intention to con-
denim the entire triangle formed by the
branching of Washington street and the
National road, as it would take too much
money. 1t is believed that this property
will be improved with good buildings when
the park is completed.

HOW to Authenticate a RECORD.


The League of American Wheelmen has
a new system which must be followed by
the record breaker, and if he does follow
it, then his record may safely be accepted
When racer wants to break record he
first applies to the racing board for per-
nit Armed with this he is met by the rep
resentatiVe of the league who Is always
present at record attempts, and the two
together select a good starter and three
timers of repute, and with the league rep
resentative as master of ceremonies and
not less than fifteen spectators as witness
es, the attempt is made 1t may be that
the record wanted is an unpaced one, in
which case the rider starts several hundred
he crosses the tape with a flying start the
pistol is fred and the three or more stop
watches are started, only to be stopped
the moment the front, tire of his wheel
crosses the tape The time is then an
nounced, and if the speed is better than the
existing record, then he has, of course,
been successful. He is then required to fill
out a blank, explaining his style of record
which he has just made. whether 1t is fly
ing start or standing start, paced or I'M
paced competition or against time, etc.
When all this is recorded to suit the mas
ter of ceremonies the timers certify to tine
correct time, the witnesses certify that the
record was made and then the whole is
sworn to before a notary. This is all sent
to the racing board chairman. If he thinks
the rules and has no reason to suspect the
genuineness of the application, ii is
granted. and the new times are entered on
the hooks.

The seesaw QuadricycIe.

The cycling sensation of the Eastern
cities these days is the seesaw quadricycle.
Those who have seen the machine say it is
combination of the old and nearly for
gotten tricycle. with the modern bicycle,
and the result is a curious looking affair.
Just now this novel vehicle is attracting
the attention of wheelmen and wheelwomen
throughout the country.
The seesaw quadricycle is built for four
riders, with an additional seat for steers
man or governor. The construction is of
having no complicated joints, gearing or
combination of levers and clamps to con-
fuse one or make an ordinary breakdown a
serious matter, and no previous experience
is necessary in order for one to ride with
the speed and skill of an expert. The sem
sation of riding is unlike anything else.
The up and down or seesaw motion is de-
ctdedly exhilarating, as anybody knows
who remembers the teeteTing of childhood,
while onward motion adds to the curious
but not unpleasant sensations which can
only be approximately described as nearer
the sensation of flying than anything else.
The seesaw quadricycle is a four-wheeled
affair. The rear set of wheels are slightly
larger in circumference than the forward
or guiding wheels. Motion is given the
sit upon seats differing very considerably
from the ordinary bicycle seat. These
seats of which there are four. two in front
and two in the rear, are fixed at the ends
of long levers, which are not unlike the
walking beam of the ordinary sidewheel
steamboat. The end of each lever not
occupied by the seats for the riders is con-
nected by an upright driving rod with a
large sprocket wheel in the center of the
machine. The rear wheels are thirty inches
in diameter, while the front ones are two
inches smaller. Directly over the front
axle and behind the front riders is placed
an ordinary bicycle handle bar, connecting
with the axle which turns like the front
axle of a carriage, and a single saddle.
This is for the attendant or governor Of the
machine. This quadricycle is the invention
of a Boston, Mass, man.
