JERSEY OITY'S CYCLE SHOW.
1t Will Re the Only Exhtbifsan of the
Kind In This Part of the Country.

Kind In This Part of the Country.
Next week the first Cycle Show held in
New Jersey will begin at Hasbrouck Hall,
under the direction of the Hudson County
Sportsmen's Association. It will be con-
Quoted on a large scale, and will prove
the most important Cycle Exhibition in
this section of the country. The fact
that no exhibit will be made in New
York this season lends additional interest
to the Jersey City exhibit. Every dealer
in Hudson County has secured space
and every line of wheel on the market
with the newest inventions in sundries
and novelties will be exhibited.
Owing to the Introduction of chainless
bicycles, of which every noted maker in
the business has some form in prepare
ton for the spring trade, this ShOW4will
be the most important show ever held
in bicycles. Chainless wheels mark all
most as great a turning point in the his
tory of. the sport of cycling as did the
introduction of the pneumatic tire, and
there will be an unusual interest in he
various forms Of wheels, as almost every
maker will have some form Of ~chainless
wheel; that feature alone will make a
show in itself.
The great feature in connection with
each nights show will be a series of
match races on home trainers" between
the best riders of this vicinity for hand
some prizes. On the opening night a four
cornered match of one mile will be con-
tested between Walter. e. Roome of the
Kuickerbocker Athletic Cubs racing
team; John Jasper of the Mantle Wheel

Alexander Smith Says Hunger Drove
Him to Theft.

Alexander Smith, a negro. from Dem
Arrest, N. j., was arraigned before JUS
lice Mccormack in the First rimin
Court last evening, and was held for the
Grand Jury for robbing the store of Sol
ONION ~Scheikowitz and for ~assaulting Mrs.
S-cheikowitz ~Scheikowitz keeps a dry
goods store at No. 423 Grove street. Smith
entered the store yesterday afternoon and
asked to see some coat Innings. Scheiko-
witz showed him several rolls of goods.
Smith asked to see a roll which was on
the top shelf. While the, proprietor was
getting it Smith appropriated a piece of
~brilliantine and hid it under his coat. He
left the store without buying anything.
Mrs. Scheikowitz, who saw him steal the
cloth, followed him down the street and
seizing him dragged him back to the
store. Smith, in struggling to escape, hit
the woman in the face. At the store
Smith denied stealing The cloth. After
some argument he went with Mrs. Schei-
kowitz to the Seventh street station TO
settle the matter. There Sergeant Cody
placed him under arrest. He sent Chance
man Mailly to Investigate. Mailly found
the stolen goods on a peanut stand, where
Smith had thrown them. William Ster-
ling, of No. SAG Fourth street, saw Smith
with the cloth under his arm.
Smith acknowledged the theft and said
that hunger compelled him to steal. JUS
tice Mccormick held him to await the ac-
ton of the Grand Jury.

4 Bill Will Be Submitted
to the Legislature to
Have Him Imprison-
ed for Life.
THE MOST FORL0RN OF HOPES
The Jury's Recommendation 10
Mercy the Foundation on
Which the New Effort
Is Based.

Corporation Attorney James f. Minturn
of Hoboken has been requested by the
friends of former Detective Edward Cliff
ford, recently convicted of murder. to use
his legal knowledge in the interest of the
condemned man.
Mr.. Minturn himself believes there is no
hope for Clifford except at the hands of
the Legislature, and in accordance with
this belief yesterday drafted a bill which
will be presented next week by Senator
William DAILY, and which provides that
where any person charged with or indict-
ed for the crime of murder in the first
degree shall, after trial thereof. according
to law, befound guilty of such charge and
the jury shall at the same time in re-
turning their verdict recommend the de-
PENDANT to the mercy of the court, the
person so tried and convicted shall be
punished b. imprisonment in the State
Prison at hard labor for life; and no
longer or greater punishment shall be in
hicted upon him.; and, if he shall have
been sentenced before this act shall have
become operative. the court imposing the
sentence shall. within ten days after this
act shall go into effect. upon application
of such person, reimpose sentence in ac-
cordance with the provisions hereof. This
act shall be construed, retrospectively, as
well as prospectively, and shall go into
effect immediately.
"As far as | can see, there is no hope
for Clifford unless the Legislature inter-
venes," said the Corporation Attorney
yesterday to a News, man. A you
will remember the jury that convicted
Clifford recommended him to mercy. My
bill will cover that phase of the matter.
Clifford's friends have informed me that
there IS every reason to believe that the
jury imagined at the time that their rec
ommendation to mercy might have some
weight in the final disposition Of the case.
jury realized that if they brought in
a verdict of murder in the second de-
gree the sentence according to law, could
be only from five to twenty years. They
thought such a sentence insufficient for
the crime, and therefore found a verdict
of murder in the first degree, imagining
that Clifford might be sentenced for life
and that. perhaps, the sentence might be
