A New Trial Denied,

The motion for a new trial in the
case of Anthony S. Davis and
others, recently decided against the
Jacob Tome Institute of Port De
post, was argued before Judge
Waters at Bel Air on Friday. A
new trial was asked for on the
ground of newly discovered facts
and misconduct on the part of the
jury. Judge Walters overruled
the motion and the judgment was
entered according to the verdict.
The case will now go to the Court
of Appeals.

E. E. EWING & Sons,
GentlemeN.-I notice in one of your
late issues mention of the cost of stone
side walk as compared with wood, and
thinking you would always like to be
accurate would say-stone cost at quarry
s cts. square foot, freight about IN cts. a
square foot, or So cts. at depot. Wood
at $25 per thousand feet for plank and Sc
for oak sleepers, with nails, costs about
TX cts. per square foot. You give cost
twice what wood cost.

GAccording to the above comparison Of
prices, the wood side walks first cost is
almost as much as first cost of stone. Sc
it seems that our guessing estimate last
week was altogether too favorable tc
wood. 1t is charged by the wooden men
that the tagging which is being used for
side walks is soft, easily broken and will
wear out, break up, &C., in few years
This opinion is based on no data whatever
In place of being soft, etc, the stone is
very hard, as the workmen have discov,
cred in dressing the edges, having nc
trace of soapstone or slate in them, but
are composed of pure grit They are
tough, as compared to granite and when
crushed for placing on road-beds become
cemented into a solid mass. Granite
when used for that purpose disintegrates
and inclines to work into sand. Plank
for roads have been tried and discarded
on account of their rapid decay making
that material very expensive in the long

DRIVERS AND BICYCLISTS
The Bad Feeling Between Them is Rapidly
Disappearing.
Interesting Annual Report of Hack
Inspector GroR-Ncw ReEuIa-
lions SugEested.

Hack Inspector S. A. Croft today sub
mitted to the Commissioners, through
Major Moore. the annual report of the
operations Of his department During the
year there were 562 vehicles licensed and
554 inspected. Forty-three articles were
lost in vehicles, q Of which were recov-
cred. There were 40 cases tried in the
Police Court for violation Of the hack laws.
He says a comparison of the above state
ment with the one submitted last year
shows but little change in the amount of
business transacted. The high standard of
excellence heretofore shown by the drivers
of hackney carriages has been maiptained
during tie year, and 1t is his opinion they
are. as a class. superior to those in other
cities. Referring to the bicyclists of the
city he says they are at present very care
full. and taking into consideration the fact
that there are mere than 10000 bicycles in
daily use on our streets clearly indicates
the care that is exercised by both wheel
men and drivers
How Accidents May BE Avoided.
In this connection he calls attention to
the following suggestion for the observa-
ton of drivers and bicycllsts:
when it is necessary to turn to the
left from the street on which they are rid
ing or driving to an interesting street.
they shall cross the street. or at least
go to the middle Of the interesting street
before turning
He says strict compliance with this
suggestion will prevent many accidents
Hc further suggests that some ordinance
be adopted regulating the right of way Of
all vehicles at all interesting streets.
Better Feeling Prevails.
Continuing, he has this to say Of bicy-
cles: The bicycle has grown to be an Inn
portant factor in the daily life Of such a
large portion Of the Inhabitants Of all
large cities that II any bad feeling former
" existed between wheelmen and the driv-
crs Of horse vehicles It II fast disappear
ing, and, In my opinion. II the fact u inn
