He congratulated both cities on this new bond of union bringing closer together the interests, sympathies and business of both centers.
 Colonel Charles A. Russell was the last speaker and was accorded a most hearty welcome as he stepped forward He said the completion of this road was a magnificent approval of the doctrine of expansion. The spirit of expansion commercially, socially and humanely is running through the community, and was exemplified on this occasion.

FRESH CYCLE NOTES.


 At this time last year Teddy" Ed wards had passed the one hundred and fiftieth consecutive daily century mark, and great many people had concluded to revise their earlier opinions of bevel gears.
 A messenger boy who was stopped by a policeman for scorching, urged the i'm portance of his errand as an excuse. The bicycle is constantly accomplishing new wonders.
 Hartford has added a cycling squad to it's police force. The city has provided the officers with new Columbia bicycles and instructed them to see that laws covering use of the streets and high ways are obeyed-
 The Pope Manufacturing company has just issued a useful pamphlet entitled Law of the Road as Applied to Bicy- cles," which clearly enunciates the foun- dation principles of road law and de- duces therefrom the burdens and privi- leges belonging to users of the highway in general and bicyclists in particular.
 The best of the numerous oils and gas lamps now on sale show many improve ments over previous models. With a very moderate amount of attention from the rider clogging by the products of combustion Is impossible in the oil lamps, and the best gas lamps have been so simplified that they give practi- cal1y no trouble
 Road racing privileges have suffered more or less curtalment during the past two years, and in a few sections the sport has been stopped altogether. Pro- motors of first-class events, however, usually have little difficulty in getting sanction from city and town authorities Road racing is an excellent sport and interesting to great many people, and those who undertake the management of events should exercise great care in sec ing that privileges are not abused.
 Itis interesting to note the rise and fall of bicycle prices during the last twenty -one years. In 1877 Columbias of the highest grade sold for S9250. In 1883 the price had advanced to SAP 30. Two years later the ordinary" reached it's highest value and the best grade sold for $150. In 1887 the price had dropped to S130. The rear-driving safety made it's appearance in 1888 at $135, and four years later, when pneumatic tires were added, the price was $15O. From 1892 the price steadily declined until 1897, when the standard figures were $100. The following year the advent of the chainless again raised the price to $125. Present prices are S75 for the chainless and $50 for the best chain wheels. The opinion is freely expressed that prices have reached the lowest point and that future values will tend upward This view is supported by the advance in the cost of materials and labor and the gen. eral prosperity of the country.

Young Graham to be Arraigned Charg-

 Brideeport Conn.,, June 5.-rhe coro- ncr's inquest was held this afternoon on the death of Louis Stahlman, the pcddler who was shot by sixteen years old Peter Graham of North Bridge port Young Graham will be formally arraigned on the charge of murder in the city court tomorrow.
 The police are skeptical as to his story of self-defense. To-day it was learned that in addition to attempting to wreck q train for the simple purpose of finding amusement in the sufferings of his intended victims Graham once held a boys head under water until he was unconscious and had since his early youth committed numerous acts of wanton cruelty. These incidents have the effect of causing disbelief of his plea of self-defense.
