Against the Four Reading Railway Men
Censured ny the cornner's Jary.
Reading, Pa, May 25.-By direction
Of the district attorney. County De-
tective karsehner to-day swore out
warrants for the four Philadelphia &
Reading railroad men who were CEN
sured by the eoroners jury for caus-
ing the disastrous wreck at Exeter.
The accused are William +. Wilde
muth, engineer of the first section; his
conductor, A. E. Nlagee; James j.
Rourke, dispatcher, and Engineer Hen
ry Orrell, of the second section. Bail
in $1,000 will be demanded.
Members of the jury expressed the
desire that no manslaughter proceed
ings be brought against the men. The
other legal remedy is charging them
with a misdemeanor. The act of
March %, 1865, says the penalty shall
not exceed $4,000 fine and imprison-
ment not exceeding five years.
Trainmaster Bowers, who was also
censured, will be prosecuted in Pnila-
delphia.

THE BICYCLE TRUST.
Dissenticns Have ARISEN That Threaten to
Disrupt The Big Combine Completely
New York, May 25.-The Herald

Dissenticns Have ARISEN That Threaten to
Disrupt The Big Combine Completely
New York, May 25.-The Herald
says:
More discussions have arisen in the
bicycle trust and threaten to disrupt
that giant combination. When the
hundred or more manufactures of bicy-
cles and bicycle parts gave options on
their plants to A. G. Spalding to June
LIST it was understood that such plants
as We're accepted by him were to be
paid for in cash by that time.
Scores of manufacturers came to the
city last week with the expectation of
closing their deals with the manager of
the trust. They were more or less in
dignant when they were requested to
extend their options to August 1st. 1t
now develops that several Of them
made determined protests against delay
and at least one of the biggest makers
in the combination refused fatty to
renew his option.
More than this. the opposition to the
trust that was led originally by X. T.
Coleman, was revived and threatens to
develop more strength than it at first
possessed. 1t will be remembered that
after the Incorporation Of the American
Bicycle Company, with a capital of
$50 100000, Mr.. Coleman, who had pre-
viously incorporated the international
Vehicle and Manufacturing Company,
with much smaller capitalization, sur
rendered. The attorney for Mr.. Cole
man said yesterday that Mr.. Coleman
was now out of the trust for good, hav-
ing positively refused to extend the
option on his plant. Among manufac-
turers this is taken to mean that Mr..
Coleman, with the aid of several other
large bicycle manufacturers, venice
and part makers will follow out his
original intention of fighting the trust
at all points.

Under Cross-Fxarninstion the Major Ex-
plains Bls business Transaction.
Washington, Pa, May 25.-Maior
Hazlett again was under cross-exam-
ination this afternoon in the embez-
Element case. He testified that he lost
$4,000 in the Penn Bank, Pittsburg,
about 1884, and near the same time
$4,000 in Philadelphia bank When
he closed his bank the time deposits
were 1887, 900 and deposits subject to
check $1,000. The fact that the sales
had realized $4,000 below his estimate
does not change his opinion of the real
value.
The effort of the prosecution is to get
from him an admission that he knew
many of his estimates were very far
above the real value. Charles E. Speer,
OF the First National Bank. Pittsburg,
testified that Major Pazlett's reputa-
ton for honesty was excellent among
Pittsburg business men.
