FISHED LIKE EXPERTS.
Worcester Parry Returns From Maine
After a Weeks Outing at Alligat-r Lake

After Weeks Outing at Alligat-r Lake
Chief of Police James NJ. brennan,
John ~ Akarman, manager of the
Consolidated Street Railway A. S.
Lowell and 5. Hamilton Coe returned
from a weeks fishing trip to Alligator
lake, about 40 miles from Bangor, Me-,
yesterday morning.
The party left Worcester Sunday,
May q, and by arranging a week be-
forehand, they reached the lake just in
time to occupy the quarters vacated by
Worcester men, including A. NJ. Stone
treasurer of the Consolidated Street
Railway, and his brother.
The Alligator lake is one Of the best
appointed fishing grounds in Maine, on
account of it's nearness to Bangor, and
at the same time is secluded enough to
keep the average disciple of Isaac
Walton away unless his purse is we'll
filled to warrant a special vehicle be-
ing hired by him to reach it.
Everything went their way from the
start, and according to one of the party
the bites came often enough to make
the thing exciting, and a catch was
made Just about in time to keep them
thinking they were able to cope with
any angler that ever sat on the banks
o. the lake and pulled in fish.
The first day at the lake was a good
one, and enough fish were caught to
satisfy every one of the party. At the
end of the week so salmon and % trout
were caught, and taking everything in
consideration, it is a good catch.
All four members Of the party are
benefited by the trip, and especially
Chief brennan. He found lots of work
piled up on his desk when he started
in yesterday morning, and told a Spy
man that he feels equal to it.

THEY HAVE AGREED.
Mill Owners Willing
to Take Commits.
siOns' Award.
THEY WANT Big SUM BESIDES.
City Solicitor Rugg Says
Knows Nothing Of the
New Feature.
THEY WANT BIG SUM BESIDES.

All the mill owners but one or two in
terested in the Kettle brook claims,
have signed an agreement to accept the
commissions award if the city will
pay them $4,000 in addition for their
right in the waters of Peter brook
By their plan each mill owner will
have nearly per cent added to the
award already given him by the com
mission, which was $525,000, to which
$780, 900 has to be added as interest
City Solicitor Rugg was seen yester-
day by a Spy man, and to him he said
that so far as the city solicitors office
was concerned, he knew nothing what
ever of the proposition to hand over
$4,000 additional to the commission S
awards.
AS the matter now stands, he said
the mill owners are not in position TO
do anything. They may appeal to the
generosity of the city, but that is all.
The city is now the only one in the
case to make propositiOns-the mill
owners appearing as mere suppllants'
He said yesterday that he did not
know what action the city government
might take on the matter if brought
before it, and then it might never be
brought before it for consideration, as
it would have to come up through his
recommendation, and he did not know
that he was ready to make one.
That it would be a desirable thing to
settle the whole matter out of court on
the basis of the awards of the commits
sion there seems to be no question
among the legal lights of Worcester.
For otherwise it means a long and te-
dious suit, with great deal of expense
entailed
The $4,000 settlement plan will do
away with all dispute or litigation in
the future over Peter brook by giving
Worcester the whole of the water.

ONE-LeGGED BlCYcLIsT.
Charles fitzpatrick, the Famous Trick
Rider, Is in Worcester.

hiQCFf is IN w OTCGSNGF,
The hero of one of the most daring
bicycle feats ever attempted, Charles
Fitzpatrick, the famous trick bicycle
rider, recounted many of his unusual
experiences at the Sherwood house yes
terday afternoon to a few personal
friends.
He told his story in an interesting
manner, utterly devoid of any boast
ing or exaggeration. Fitzpatrick is
known all over the country as trick
rider. He is more noticeable than other
trick cyclists, because he hal but one
leg, having lost the other in a railroad
accident several years ago.
Kilpatrick's great feat was riding
down the west steps of the capitol
building at Washington. he was the
first man to attempt it, Others have
tried it since, but none OF them got
away as safely as he did, There are ia
steps, with an eight-inch drop and 10
inch tread. There are three landings.
Fitzpatrick went down the steps on a
wheel in 1898 without a mi8hap. One
of his regular feats now is riding down
a fight of steps from so feet nigh. The
steps are of eight-inch tread and six
inch drop. The steps are only four feet
wide, and he uses no guard on either
side.
Fitzpatrick told yesterday how he
came to attempt the Washington fedt.
He said while there he head cOnsiC-
cradle talk about persons riding down
the east steps of the capitol He
laughed and remarked to the party dis

steps, said he, Il felt like backing

anything about the ride. | Know J lost

Strangely enough, Fitzpatrick never
sat on a wheel until long AFTER ne lost
his right leg. Grim now of tn7 Brook
lyns, was the first man to suggest Bio
Gle riding to him. Fitzpatrick umpired
regularly in the Interstate league. ~"
ohiciated in a game between the st
Louis Browns and Milwaukee, of he
Western league, both teams being
champions of their respective leagues.
Grim had a high wheel and 'HTghingIE
suggested to Fitzpatrick that he try II.
Fitzpatrick mounted the wheel He So s
he was never on a wheel in his lifa'
riding for wears. He became infatU1-
ted with bicycle riding. SO much so tAat
in 1891 he attended the meet IN Peoria,
for which he was fined by 'he league.
He says Willie Windle Of MillburE
sustained his first defeat at hat moot.
Fitzpatrick rode an exhibition, and was
kindly treated by Chicago newspaper
writer's. After that he went arodi Il
giving exhibitions. He has followed the
stage. doing trick riding for years, ana
has gone as far as South Africa follow
ing the business.

SATURDAY OR SUNDAY.
Regular Motormen and Conductors Cam
Take These Days off.

An order has been posted at the Con-
solidated car barn which says in effect
that no regular motorman or conduc-
tor can take Saturday or Sunday as a
day off during the summer months.
officials of the road believe the regu-
lars possess the ability to handle big
crowds and that the spare men are not
competent to do So The compliment
is not appreciated by the regular men
and the spare hands like to earn more
than IA cents per week. hence there is
dissatisfaction among the employees.
The petition has bObbed up again.
This time it is said to be in the breast
pocket of a motorman. Within a few
days it is expected that it will be un-
rolled and some one will lay it on
