He was riding on his bicycle on Ash- nun street, coming toward the city, and when near Grove street team suddenly turned into Ashmun street from one of the cross streets-so sud- denly that Mr. Housel was obliged to throw himself from his wheel in order to escape a collision. MT. Housel land ed on his head and shoulders his head striking the curb-stone and cutting an ugly gash over his left eye. His left shoulder and arm 1t was first thought were wrenched badly, but on being ex- amined it was found that beyond bruises they escaped injury. MT. Hou- sel was considerably dazed and was helpless when Dr. T. H. Voting, of Ashmun street, came to his assistance. The police ambulance was sent for and he was taken to his room, 228 Crown street, where he recovered conscious- ness, and where everything possible was done for his comfort.
 Dr. Metz later attended Mr. Housel, and he said last night that he thought he would be out in day or two.

M'COY ESYS RYAN.
Given the Decision Alter Six Rounds
 An Agreement Broken.

Tattersalrs, Chicago, May 29.-"Kid' Mccoy was given a decision over Syra- cuse Tommy Ryan tonight at the end of one of the prettiest six-round fights ever seen here. But over the decision, and what Referee Malachi Hogan claims was misapprehension, free- for-all fight resulted, and but for the presence of a large force of police who hurried the men out of the ring and cleared the hall it is probable that the Mccoy Ryan fight would not have been the most interesting thing on the even- ing's programme. One clause of the agreement was that draw should be declared were both men on their feet at the end of the sixth round.

A remark ably good one for it's careful representa- ton of the details of the corona was made with chalk on dark blue paper by Professor Otis Ashmore, who was a member of the government expe- dition. Professor Hart of the univer- sity of Maine, and Dr. See, who con- bined telescopic and visual drawings, each agreed in essential features with the other The other observations of the shadow bands were successful, all though this phenomenon was not as pronounced as has been recorded at former ecipses.
 The shadow bands seemed to be not well pronounced. parallel bands of shadow and brightness, but appeared to be more like the reflection of rippled water projected upon a screen. Pro- fesssor Updegraff and Professor East man made successful drawings of the finer details of the Inner corona of the equatorial regions All of this work shows the corona to have been remark ably similar to those of 1873 and 1889. both of which years were years of mini mum sun spotss

St. Louis. May 29.--In rioting sense, to- days developments were the worst experi- enced since the strike on the lines of the St. Louis Transit Company was inaugural ed over three weeks ago. The rioting was confined entirely to three places in the southern section of the city and by night fall the police records showed that fully q dozen persons had either received bullet wounds or been hurt by flying missiles. Three of those hit by bullets received what are presumably mortal wounds, and that no one was killed outright seems miracu- lous considering the great number of shots exchanged by the employees of the company, the strike sympathizers and the strikers themselves
