Dec. 4th, Rouse Hazard & Co. mail
ed their attorney a Chicago draft
for ST., S1096, payable to the Western
Wheel Works, that being the amount
which had been in litigation between
the two Companies for several years.
The ability of Rouse Hazard & Co. to
forward this large sum just at this
season of the year, when the pay rolls
and other expenses of Bicycle Manu-
facturers are very large, and receipts
very small is certainly a most con-
vincing evidence of the solvency OF
one of the oldest bicycle concerns in
the United States. Of the manufacture
ers and jobbers of bicycles who were
in business when Rouse Hazard e Co.
entered that line, more than Is years

| be counted on the fingers of one hand
! Rouse Hazard & CO.repOrt that their
present prospects are the brightest OF
any time during all the years they
have been in business. They now have
bona fide orders from gilt-edged con-
Germs for larger number of machines
than they ever had orders for at any

A YOUNG LADY ASSAULTED.
So Badly Beaten by Three Girls
That She Will Probably Die.

PITTSBURG, Nov. 24.-Miss Nora
Bitner, highly respected young lady
of Allegheny, was beaten SO badly
this afternoon by three girls, none of
whom are over 16 years of age, that
she will probaly die. Her assailants,
Mamie Wright, Sophia Muckle and
Maria Bennett, are in jail.
The cause of the assault is rather
mysterious. 1t seems that Miss Bit
ner, with a young lady companion,
was walking along East Ohio street,
and in passing a group of young girls
at play she made some jocular remark
concerning the party, whereupon one
of the youngsters grabbed her by the
hair and pulled her to the ground.
While PROSTATE Miss Bitner was kicked
on the head and beaten into insensi-
bility. Her companion was unable to
protect her, and rescue was only eff
fected when two men came upon the
scene.
The physicians attending Miss Bit
ner say her skull is fractured, and that
a blood clot has formed on her brain.

UTOPIA's NARROW ESCAPE.
The Steamer Comes Near Going to
the Bottom With All ON Board.

PORT TOWNSEND (Wash), Nov.
24.-The steamer Farrallon. Captain
Roberts, arrived tonight from Ska
quay, bringing news of disaster to
the steamer Utopia, which nearly sent
that vessel and all board to the bot
tom of Gastineaux Channel
On the night of November Goth, as
the Farrallon was entering Gastineaux
Channel, signals of distress were
heard. The Farrallon found the steam
er Utopia drifting helplessly toward
the reef extending from Point Ardena,
on Admiralty Island. The Utopia had
lost her propeller, and a terrible gale
was blowing, with the thermometer be-
low zero. The Farrollon succeeded in
getting hawser aboard, and the
Utopia was towed out of danger and
taken to Juneau.
On her up trip the Utopia, while
rounding Cape Fanshaw, thirty miles
west of Wrangel Narrows, was discov-
cred to be afire forward, caused by d
lamp exploding. The fire destroyed
the pilot-house, wheel gear and several
staterooms. Captain White ordered
boats and liferafts lowered A passen-
ger, whose name was not learned. as
soon as the boat touched the water,
slid down the tackle, and was drowned
by the capsizing of the boat. Every
effort was made to save him, but
without avail. The Utopia's cargo was
badly damaged, and Captain White
Purser Maxwell and several passengers
lost all their effects.
Captain Roberts reports the weather
in Alaska unusually severe, and dur
ing the entire trip down encountered
a series of gales and hurricanes The
City of Topeka was passed wind bound
in Linn Canal, on the way to Skaguay.
