SUES A WHEEL COMPANY.
Nicholas Eclshardt, Jr.. Asks Dam
ages for Personal Injuries.


Nicholas Eckhardt, jr., yesterday filed
suit against the Cleveland Cycle Company
for $4,000. This amount is claimed for
personal injuries sustained by the plaintiff
caused by being thrown from an alleged
defective bicycle purchased from the cycle
company. This suit is brought against
John Dewitt Arnold, the manager OF the
local branch OF the company. The plain
tin says that his, injuries were caused be-
cause the forks OF the bicycle were de-
fective and broke while he was riding it
1t is probably the first suit of the kind,
certainly the first eyer brought in this city
against any of the different bicycle COM
panies for damages because Of injuries
sustained by persons by reason OF any OF
the parts of the wheels purchased being
defective. For this reason the course OF
the proceedings and the result will no
doubt be watched with much interest by
the manufacturers and riders OF bicycles
throughout the country. Berry Minor
represent Eckhardt.
The accident TO the plaintiff Eckhardt
occurred on May II last. and the account
given at the time showed him to have been
painfully hurt by the breaking of the forks
of the bicycle which he was riding.

THE OFFICIAL REPORT.
The Street Cleaning SaunbbIe n Clos
ed Incident.

The Street Cleaning saunbbIe n Clos
ed Incident.
Final action was taken by the municipal
authorities yesterday about the squabb!e
over the manner in which local streets are
swept by hand labor The Commissioners
concluded that the charges which the Dis
trict Superintendent preferred against the
contractors, Daggett & Dugan, were sus-
tained, and that they could annul the con-
tract with them, but after mature con-
sideration they decided not to take such
radical action at the present time. They
were disposed to be Ienient because the
contractors had signified Willingness to
comply with all the requirements of the
District in the future. They decided to
suspend the contractors should they show
willful and repeated disregard OF the re-
quirements of their contract.
The Commissioners embodied their views
in the matter in a carefully prepared state
ment which all signed. The statement
was prepared by Commissioner Ross. who
is in charge of the Street Cleaning Depart
ment. 1t is clear and gives succinctly a
splendid and impartial view of the recent
differences. 1t concludes as follows:
There is no work done in behalf OF the
municipality that has more to do with the
comfort, the health, and the local pride
OF our citizens. than that which keeps the
attractive streets and avenues OF the Cap
ital City clean and wholesome. The hand
cleaning system has met with universal
commendation; and our people win not
and ought not to be content with any 9TH
er than first-class work in that regard. The
Commissioners, therefore, deem it but
proper to notify the contractors that, in
view OF the assurances given by them, no
action looking to the annullment OF the
contract will be taken at this time: but
that, should there be hereafter repeated
and willful disregard of the essential re-
quirements of the contract, they will not
hesitate to take such prompt and decisive
action looking to annullment as the inter-
ests of the service NAV seem to renuire- .,

RearrnnEins substations.

Postmaster Merritt is figuring on rearranse-
ment of the subpostofice stations in the city.
soon after he came into office the subject was
presented to his notice, through the efforts OF
various merchants TO have substations placed in
their stores. Merchants regard such an ad-
junct to their places of business as a good
advertisement as well source of income.
The pay of the men in charge of these subsia-
tions ranges from 500 to 5000 year. Political
influence has been used to have substations To-
Gated and, as 4 result, in many parts OF the
city there are many two sIbstati0us in one
square The postnaster's idea is that they should
be distributed with regard to the needs Of busi-
ness men. and not according to the desires Of
those who have political influence.

THE absence of the electric lights
have made the town look little
gloomy for the last few evenings.

side of town are already up and under
roof. They stand alone as the pion-
GERS ia that locality, and look now,
like they were in the middle of big
meadow, but it may be that the mea-
will take on the appearance of town
at some future day.
VERY radical changes are being
made in the roadway in front Of the

the East side which wall set Com
