A Blue Streak.
March IS, 1898.

This is an old expression,
going like a blue streak. /"
The Tribune bicycle people
have taken it up and are
manufacturing a bicycle by
that name. 1t is all that its
name implies, being painted a
bright shade of blue, and so
easy to run that the rider
looks when passing like a
blue streak.
We received a shipment of
them by the last steamer, and
they are now ready for in
spection and sale. They come
in three models for ladies and
gentlemen at $65. $95 and
500. 1t is not necessary to
reiterate what the good points
of the Tribune wheels are.
Every bicyclist knows that
they are a standard make and
one of the best wheels ever
put upon the market. They
will stand more hard usage
and more rain and mud than
any other make.
Our stock of TRIBUNES
is complete. We have them
in Black, Blue and in Black
Striped with Gold.
ebWhile we advise all custom
ers to pay a little more money
and get standard make, yet
for those who do not wish to
put so much money into a
wheel we have imported a
Columbus wheel, ladies mod
ell, and a Jimmy, mans mod
ell, which we can sell you at a
much lower price. They are
very good wheels, strong, and
made of good material.
1t costs nothing to call and
look over our stock and we
are always pleased to show
you what we have on sale.

TURN ON THE X-RAYS.

This is an age Of light. In utter
defiance of the messy old theories
we now photograph the coins insids
of pocketboOk and the bones in
living bodies. Similarly the light of
intelligence shines upon certain anti-
quated notions in medicine. The in

fallacy of the Yea that sick people

DR.. BAKER FIRST.

The first witness called was Medical
Examiner F. II. Baker of this city. He
testified that on the afternoon of Wed
nesday, December q, he was called tc
view the bodies of John ]. Kerrigan and
Walter =. Iobrook, killed in an acct
dent on the Worcester and Suburban
street railway, at 225 O'clock thai af-
ternoon.
He viewed the body of John ]. Kerri-
gan in g, house near the scene of the
accident, ana later in the day viewed
the remains Of Walter H. HOlbrook at
the CITY hospital in this city He did
not see the defendants, Hiney and
Calvin, and did not see the wreck, as
it had been cleared away before he got
there. He found the body of Kerrigan
lying in the front room Of the house of
Margaret Pendergast.
Upon investigation, the medical eX-
aminer foupC thai the unfortunate
mans injuries consisted of a badly
crushed right foot a fracture of the
! ight thigh, a dislocation of the left hip,
injuries to the right side and supertic-
dal bruises about the head and left hand
and probable internal injuries. AS to
the extent of the internal injuries, Or.
Baker was unable to say, as no autop-
Sy was held.
He viewed the body of Holbrook in
the Won cesteI city hospital at o'clock
that evening, and found his injuries to
consist Of compound fractures of both
legs. between the knee and ankle, a
fracture of the right elbow, bruises
about the head, and undoubtedly in
ternal injuries.
No autopsy was held, and DR.. Baker
based his theory of internal injuries
upon the fact that before his death
Holbrook expectorated large quantities
of blood

fed that he had lived in Spencer for
two years, and that he passed over the
road on an average of three times d
week.
"On the day of the accident" said
he, Il boarded the car at the Union
station. l should judge that it was
nearly on time. I am quite positive
that the car did not stop on the
switch"
Asked if he considered the rate of
speed at which the car descended the
hill excessively high, the witness re-
piled: We went down at such a rapid
rate that my wife called my attention
to it. l cannot say that it was faster
than the regulation, but it was faster
than We had been going. The fog was
very thick, so thick that we could
hardly see the house we went to after
the accident. The windows of the car
were covered with mist. | was look
Ing ahead as we descended the hill
but when I first saw the car it was
certainly within a cars length of us"
Cross examined by Mr.. O'Connell, he
said: Il did not notice any buzzing
noise before the accident"
Did you hear any report resembling
the crack of a pistol?"

Els EYES WERE CLOSED.

Herbert Z. Chandler, Of this city, was
the next witness called. In direct testi-
mony he said: 81 have occasion to ride
over the Leicester division of the Wor-
sester and Suburban two or three times
a month. On the day of the accident I
boarded the vestibule car at the Union
station, leaving there at LAO in the
afternoon. ! do not know definitely, but
/ suppose the car was on time. I o.

car"
When asked if the car which he was
aboard of had stopped on the switch
in front of St. Joseph's Church, Mr..
Chandler replied, Il am positive that
don't think it ran off the main track on
to the turnout"
Mr.. Chambers ideas of what trans
pired after leaving the switch We're a
little hazy, and Mr. O'Connell in his
cross examination Of the witness, made
things rather uncomfortable for him.
Il have for some time" said Mr.
Chandler, had serious trouble with my

the hill, l had my eyes closed. My first

blood purifier and nerve tonic. 1t
cures Constipation, Headache, Painting
