railroad officials. Another man who was
with them succeeded in eludng the officers
and has not yet been located.

alleged was seen by DR.. A. G. Coumbe, OF
Clifton, Va. to take a purse from an old
man who left the train at that point.
The occurrence was not reported until

conductor was notified. He telegraphed
the information 10 the railroad officials and
the police were notified TO look out for the
men. AS soon as they alighted from the
train at the station in this city they were
placed under arrest. after desperate

were taken 10 headquarters for eXamina-
tion, where no evidence of The pocketbooI.

AT THE CYCLE CHOW.
DIR. Mary Walker VIII Lecture To-
night on bicycling.

The third day Of the cycle show, in the
Washington Light Infantry Armory, was
marked by large crowds, good music, and
bushels OF souvenirs. Wheels, frames.
sprockets, chains, tires, grips. brakes. and
lamps were the order OF the day. and the
scorcher was in his glory. The large at
tendance last night was very gratifying to
the exhibitors and the interest displayed
spoke well for the success OF the venture.
The managers of the cycle show are conf
dent that the exhibit will become an an
nual affair in this city.
There is much Of interest in the cycle
show even for the casual visitor. and the
hall is paradise for those interested in
bicycles. Here are all the latest chainless
models, the new pneumatic hubs, new ideas
in brake and coaster devices, new chains,
new sprockets, new saddles and saddle
posts, new tires, new lamps-everythng
is new and interesting
The eighty-four exhibits include every
thing that is original and novel in wheels
and things pertaining 10 wheels. and sev-
eral hours can be prohtably spent in the
hall.
The crowds last night included large
number of ladies. These were loaded down
with souvenirs. pins, and flowers by the
progressive exhibitors. The scorcher was
happy in the explanation of some new de-
vice and the elderly people were cared
for by those in charge of the exhibits. The
greatest rivalry is shown by the lamp ey
hibitors One firm offers a lamp free to
the prettiest girl in the hall. another firm
gives away a lamp, in the shape of n pin,
to every caller, and another firm has n
corps of men industriously hammcring
lighted lamps on planks, to prove the
merits of said lamps.
Megaphones bells, and graphophoncs
are used by many Of the stands to attract
attention, and if the visitor misses any
thing it is not the fault of the industrious
exhibitors. The electrical display is very
fine. Everywhere are masses of color and
handsome designs in incandescent lamps
while the whir of cyclometers adds a busy
hum. Strong wheels and light wheels
heavy riders and tiny bicyclists are here
on exhibition. while the $50 wheels in
enamel and nickel make brilliant scene
Every color in the rainbow is represented
in enamel and the wheels range from
tiny affairs for children to Je-pound
giants.
Every inch of floor space is occupied at
this exhibition. Even the ceiling has been
put to good use by some of the exhibitors
Everything in the show is whrling and
turning and the buzz and glitter is eN-
ceedingly attractive. The show is well
planned, and the stands are so laid out
that every exhibit is shown to advantage
DR.. Mary Walker will visit the cycle
show this evening and deliver her lecture
on bicycling. She will take as her subject
The Hygiene of Bicycling" The lecture
will be delivered from the balcony upon
which the band is located, so as to enable
the speaker to take in the entire hall As

THE NEW YORK BUFFET.
James CosteIo's Old House Arruyct
in New Glory


One OF the finest and most handsomely
constructed buffets in Washington has re-
Gently been completed by William ]. Von-
derheide. at 405 Tenth Street northwest
Mr.. Nonderheide is now in possession of
the famous New York Buffet" formerly
run by the late James Costello. The en-
tire interior of the place has been altered
and refurnished. The most conspicuous
feature of the establishment is its bar.
This magnificent fixture is of solid oak.
very long, and is carved in most master
ly manner in grotesque and graceful de
signs. The mirror is the largest of its kind
in Washington, and Is surmounted with a
row OF glittering electric bulbs, which light
up the room with a glare brighter than
daylight. Several fine pictures occupy con-
spicuous places on the walls. one of which
deserves special mention-a Tito Aguparis
painted in 1862. The walls and ceilings are
of stamped steel. tinted in delicate shades
OF green and blue, touched up with gold
and silver
The draught beer of the establishment is
forced from the cellar by hydraulic pres
sure through straight pipes. none of which
is longer than eight feet. This feature
prevents stale beer from remaining in the
lead, a fault common 10 all coils. Another
advantage of such an arrangement is the
ease with which the pipes can he kept

take great pleasure in writing This letter
because so many people are sufferers from
this trouble who like myself did not know
where TO look for permanent, safe relia-
bic cure
Experience with the Pyramid Pile Cure
for the past three years has demonstrate ell
to the medical profession as well as TO
thousands of sufferers from piles that II is
the safest and most effectual pile cure ever
offered to the public, containing no opiates
or poisons Of any kind painless and con-
venient 10 handle, and being sold by drug
gists at 30 cents and 81 per box is within
the reach of every sufferer.
Very often two or three boxes have made
complete cure OF chronic cases that had
not yielded to other remedies for years.
There is scarcely "a disease more aggra-
vating and obstinate to cure than the va
rious forms Of piles, and it is common
practice TO use ointments, salyes, and sim
liar preparations containing dangerous
poisons to remove the trouble The Pyra-
mid has superseded all of these Intellectual

giving the Pyramid trial.

cradle nQtoriety through his recent eccen-
trio actions during trip in the South and

alleges that she believes Peters has large
sums of money on deposit in the banks
mentioned which are subject TO his control
and disposition and that since February l
he has squandered among gamblers and
other persons large sums OF money which
amount to several thousand dollars.
The petitioner requests the court. in con-
sequence of the above-stated condition Of
affairs. 10 issue an order Ie-
straining the banks from disburs-
ing any funds of Peters on his
check or draft She further prays that
the safe deposit company be restrained
from surrendering the securities in it's pos
session, and that upon the final hearing
of the lunacy proceedings the moneys and
securities be held by the institutions in
custody, subject TO the order of the court.
Justice Cox directed that the writ de
lunatico uquirendo be issued as prayed for

Ferguson house at 307 Street south

Sterling Ferguson, colored, four years old
and Otho Ferguson, a baby. eighteen
months old. Both cases we're traced to the
other members OF the family who were
removed TO the isoiating hospital last
week.
The infected house has been fumigated
and disinfected. and stronger quarantine
established. There are now thirty-one
cases in the smallpox hospital. The dis
case shows no signs Of abatement. The
average is about Two cases daily. Most
of the new eases are found in houses un-
der quarantine.

THE LOCAL FACTION BEATEN.
A Decision by Justice Cox in the k.
of l., C0utrOyersy

A Decision by Justice Cox in the Is {.
of l.. Controversy.
One phase of the bitter controversy be-
tween District Assembly No. sc, X. of L.,
and the general officers of the order of the
knights of Labor of America was disposed
of yesterday by Justice Cox, who denied the
application of the former, on the affidavit
of Thomas O'Dea, and refused to hold
General Secretary Treasurer John w.
Hayes in contempt of court. The trouble
between the general officers and the local
faction is of long standing and eliminated
last fall when the executive board of the
order revoked the charter Of Assembly No.
66 for alleged violations OF the constitu-
tion.
Upon receiving notice that its charter
had been revoked the assembly started pro-
ceedings in equity asking the court to
compel General Secretary-Treasurer Hayes
and the general officers of the order 10 rec
ogniZe it as the legal and regular consti-
tuted body of the Knights of Labor in the
District, and to enjoin the secretary and
the general officers from recognizing any
other organization in Washington as a
district assembly of the order. This ap-
plication was granted by the Supreme Court
of the District and Mr.. Hayes was enjoined
in accordance with its terms.
According TO an affidavit filed few days
ago by Thomas O'Dea, it was alleged that
Hayes had violated the order OF the court
and was in contempt because he had rec
ognized E Z. Moore in the general assem-
bly, of the knights of Labor as a delegate
representing an assembly of knights of La
Dor organized in the District in violation of
the order OF the court.

fidavit denying the statements set forth

these depositions in court yesterday Judge
