Speaker Reed ~ n CycIi>t.

From the hennebec Journal
Sneaker Reed is enjoying life AT his
Grand Beach cottage near Old Orchard
He is found in a hammock most Of me
time and has discarded his wheel Grand
Beach has very vivid recollecttonS OF the
speaker when he learned 70 ride the bike.
He used TO wear a snow white sweater
and when he mounted on his wheel he
could be seen for long distance. He had
blocks of wood and old boxes scattered ali
up and down the beach TO aid him N
mounting. He never was great scorcher,
dcspite all the stories TO the contrary,
and the fastest clip he ever struck was
one day when he lost control OF the wheel.
and down the incline toward the ocean he
went at 2:10 clip. Had he not fallen
from the bike at the waters edge, the
prCba bilities are that he would have gone
out to sea. MIR. Reed was always a htti.
afraid to ride on the beach after that. and
the most of his riding was done in the
road just back of his house; There were
stories afioat TO the effect that MIR. Reed
could ride through thick forest on his
wheel and never dismount, and that he
could ride up a towering pine TO the
height of forty feet. but the big congress
man declares that there was no truth in
these stories.

DEVELOPMENT IN MINES.
The North Arkansas Region to BE
Opened by the Frisco Promises
More Zinc Fields.

JOPLIN. MO, Sept. l0.-tSpecial) Since
the completion of the Frisco line into Kan
sas City there is considerable talk among
those interested in the mines at this place
as to the probability OF the extension Of
the line from Springfield or Chadwick south
through the zinc region OF North Arkan-
sas.
Perhaps the most thorough examination
ever made of the North Arkansas mining
region by any one person was completed
by w. f. Grayston. He predicts wonderful
development of mining interests along the
proposed route, and feels safe in conclu-
sions reached from observations made
All this will add greatly TO business d.
yelopment of Kansas City.

TROOPS GO SOUTH NOVEMBER
General Graham Has Completed All th'
Arrangements for Moving Our
Troops at Camp Meade to
Southern Camp.

Middletown, Pa, oct. 29-The last
long train of weary soldiers from Phil
adelphia reached Camp Meade last
evening, and the men went direct to
their quarters. General Graham arrived
this morning, and the last arrange
ments for moving the troops south are
being made. 1t is expected that there
will be a movement made by Nov 7,
and the entire corps will get away by
Nov 20.
An accident that might have result
ed very seriously occurred to the train
on which the Ninth Ohio Colored troops
were going to Camp Meade from Phila-
delphia. The train had reached Hum
melstown, on the Reading road, and
was waiting to be switched on TO the
branch road that goes to Middletown.
While standing on the switch a freight
train from Harrisburg came along on
the same track, and before It could be
tagged II crashed into the troop train,
smashing the rear car and injurtng six
men, all Of Company c. Floyd Stewart
had his hand crushed, and 1t will have
to be amputated. The cause of the ac-
cident is alleged to be the carelessness
of the hagman I'm not going back far
enough to stop the freight train, he not
taking the usual distance customary
where a train is tagged. Half dozer
freight cars were smashed, and the ca
containing the horses on the troop trail
was broken open and the animals eB
caped, adding to the confusion.

tween $50 and $50 of gold to the ton.

B0NDSMEN SEEK RELEASE.
Testimony Taken To-day In Behalf of
Higgins, Mullahy and Others.

Testimony was taken this morning, in the
Office Of John X. Coyle, Esq in the matter
of a rule granted by the court at POttsvlle
on Oct. II, 1898, on application Of T. J.
Mullahy et al, to show cause why judg-
ment entered on the tax bond of Tax Col
lector NJ. J. Scanlan for 1894 should not be
satisfied Mr.. Coyle represented the appli-
cants and Borough Solicitor NJ. NJ. Burke
appeared in opposition
The sureties on Mr.. Scanlan's 1894 bond are
Messrs. T. J. Mullahy, Ellen Reilly, Thomas
COnnor, Thomas Scanlan, Michael Prbula.
Mary Mellet, p. j. Monaghan, j. b. Mona
CHAN, NJ. p. Whitaker, r. J. Higgins, f. j.
Brennan, Patrick McGonigal. Andrew Me
luskey, G. E. Titman and NJ. NJ. Burke.
Collector Scanlan testified as to arrange
ments he had with the Borough Council so
that collections he made in 1895 were to be
credited on the 1894 duplicate and that the
payments thus made, with others,
settled the latter duplicate. He
settled the 1894 duplicate with the county
and School Board in the same manner and
the suretes on the latter bonds had been re-
leased lie said he signed letter to the
Borough Council, upon request of Council
man Straughn, directing that payments
made by him in 1895 be credited on the 1894
duplicate, and under that arrangement the
subsequent payments were made and the
duplicate balanced. w. J. Watkins former
secretary of Council, and ex-Borough Audi
tor Bamberger identified statements in Coun-
cil's minute book and the Auditors annual
statement and Mr.. Covle rested his case.
Solicitor Burke will ask to have time
fixed to take testimony in behalf of the bor-
ough 1t is not unlikely that some of the
suretes on Scanan's bonds of 1856 and
who were not sureties on the 1894 bond, will
oppose the application and ask the court to
decree that any money collected on the 1895
duplicate and credited to the 1894 account be
stricken from the latter and credited to the
duplicate under which it was collected.

of the struggles of an unfortunate professor
of music at Yassar the members of the com

amusing situations. There are 90 members
in the company, including ten charming
young women. A feature is foot ball game
