RECKLESS BICYCLE RIDER.
Ran Down IL Pedestrian With "A
stolen Wheel


Peter Harris, a 16-year-old negro. ran
into Mr.. f. M Hull with bicycle, near
the postoffice yesterday and afterward ran
into the police barracks, where it was
found the wheel he rode was stolen
Harris was going along Whitaker street,
when he ran into MIR. Hull and was thrown
from his bike. His carelessness was such
as to warrant his arrest and Mr.. Hull
started to take him in custody This
frightened the negro, who ran away,
leaving the Wheel which was then stored
in the postofiice, and notice sent to the
barracks about the reckless riding. Chief
McDermott directed an officer to get the
wheel and take it to headquarters, where
ii is subject to the call of the owner
For some reason Harris did not go to
the barracks. but sent his mother, who
showed much distress on account of the
boys arrest and asked leave to take the
bicycle to him. The chief informed her
that the wheel could not be removed by
any one except the owner, and directed
her TO send the boy for it. The fact
the wheel was a high-grade Fowler"
81 model and rather new in appearance
gave rise to the suspicion which Chief
McDermott desired to dispel before releas-
ing the property
Where did you get that bicycle?'' in
quired the chief when Harris finally
showed up.
Bought it in Jacksonville" he said. 81
got it in exchange for $50 wheel, and $25
to boot"
who did you buy it of?' was asked.
Don't know the mans name. Had never
seen him before"
Where did you get the one you ex-
changed?' was further asked.
Got it out here in the country. Don't
know the fellows name"
This was unsatisfactory to the chief, and
he ordered Harris locked up for further in
vesugation. The chief says he has found
that when people can not tell from whom
they purchased things, il is a case which
warrants Investigation and generally re-
suits in unearthing a theft

A CHANGE IN THE COURT.
May BE Neeessitated by Mai. Wood
ruHs Promotion.

Mai. c. A. Woodruff, member Of the
court martial now in session here, will
probably be promoted in rank next week
to the grade of lieutenant colonel. Mai.
Woodruff is one of the conmissaries OF
subsistence, the only one in that branch of
the service stationed at Governors Island,
New York.
On Jan. Is, by reason of the fact that he
viii have reached the age of "a on that
date, Gen. w. H. Bell. chief Of the COM
missary department, will be retired from
the service, which retirement makes
room for. a promotion for those next TO
him in service. 1t is probable that he
VIII be succeeded by Col. Samuel T. Cush-
ing, who will be raised 10 the rank Of gem
eral, and Lieut.. Col. w. H. Nash viii
take the place of Col. Cushing. Nal
Woodruff is the senior major on the list
which comprises eight, and it is natural
that in the line of promotion he should
60 TO the lieutenant colonelcy. Capt Ed
ward bravo will be promoted TO the DO
sition of major, he being the highest on
the list of majors.
In case the judge advocate is officially
notified of the promotion of Maj. Wood
run on Jan. %, change in the positions of
the members Of the court will be necessi-
tated. Maj. Woodruff is now the third
officer on the right of Gen. Otis, sitting
next to Lieut.. CO.. II. c. Hasbrouck of
the Fourth Artillery. When his promo
ton is officially announced, should it be
done while the court is in session. he
would take the place now occupied by
Maj. w. s. Stanton, second on the left of
Gen. Otis, president of the court, and
Maj. Stanton would take the place of third
on the right. The retirement of Gen. Bell
must, under the army regulations, neces-
sarlly take place on Jan. %, when he be-
comes Ga years old, and the promotion of
Maj Woodruff is expected at that time.
Maj. Woodruff is one of the jolliest MEM
bers of the court, and has made many
friends during his brief stay in the city.
He viii be wakmly congratula ted on all
sides by his friends and comrades upon
this good fortune

ST. pATR1cHs CHURCH on FIRE.
The EdiGce Saved BY Hard Work of
the Firemen.

st. Patrick's Church narrowly escaped
destruction by fire early this morning.
The alarm was sounded few minutes be-
fore o'clock.
The firemen located the flames in the
basement of the church and at once got to
work Streams were thrown in through
a window that had been broken in, and
the fire was soon under control.
1t was difficult to estimate the extent
Of the loss. The fire had made consider
able Roadway before the arrival of the
engines, and nearly everything in the
basement was more or less injured. The
floor of the church was burned through,
though but slight damage seemed to have
been done in the auditorium.
The alarm was turned in from box NO.
q, corner of Liberty and West Broad
streets, by Policeman J. NJ. Connolly, on
duty at the Central Railroad passenger
depot.
The fire was discovered by the night man
Of the S. & $. Beef Company, whose quar-
ters are across West Broad street from
the church. The flames were then issu~
ing from one of the basement windows.
After turning in the alarm the officer
tried TO arouse the priests in the pastorium
adjoining, but was not at once successful.
He then threw the gate 10 the yard from
its hinges to make entrance for the fire
men easy upon their arrival.
The origin of the fire is not known. 1t
seemed to have started in the furnace
room, though it was said there had been
no fire there for two weeks. The church
is insured for some $4,000.

sHAKEsPEARE IN COURT.
Negro Woman BY That Name Obtain
ed 81 Peace warrant

Lula Shakespeare, who lives at No. 713
Duffy street, west and not Stratford-on-
Avon, was in Justice Naughtin's Office
yesterday and obtained a peace warrant
against Charles E. Glenn, living at No.
III Duffy street. west.
When arrested and brought before the
justice, Charley was reminded of the de-
tails of a quarrel he had with the woman.
and while he had read little of Shakes
peare, he doubtless knows more about
her than is profitable Glenn states he
made some remarks about the woman and
when she heard of it she appeared at his
house for an understanding
Glenn's wife was at hand, but dared
not speak. leaving the settlement of the
affair to Glenn. Persuasion seemed 10
have no effect, he said, and he invited
Shakespeare to get out. This she de-
clined, and after kicking her out of his
own house, she appeared before the JUS
tice, he said, and obtained a warrant re-
quiring him to keep the peace.
