ARE GRANTED A PATENT.
Messrs. Grin Liljeqvest and Sam
Durant Patent Bicycle Crank Re-
pair Tip.-A Money Saver.

A letter from the patent Office in
Washington, d. c., was received yes
terday by Grin Liljeqvest and Sam.
Durant, stating that their application
for patent on an important invention
of theirs, bicycle crank repair tip,
had been favorably received and that
the patent would be issued upon their
invention on July 31st The difficulties
which have been successfully surmount.
ed by the above named gentlemen were
many, bat the realization of their hopes
has at last been achieved.
The trouble heretofore has been that
when bicycle crank was broken it
had to be taken off and replaced by a
new one, which is expensive to say the
least. The efforts of blacksmiths to
weld together broken bicycle crank,
so that it would stand the necessary
strain brought to bear upon it, have all
been failures, and the owners of bicycle
factories have cudgeled their brains for
years to hit upon some scheme to over
come the difficulty. To have that diff
Guilty overcome by two Wausau young
men, is no small achievement and hon
or and they naturally feel elated over
their successful handling of the prob
lem. Both young men have studied
bicycle mechanism for years, and this
knowledge aided them greatly in their
recent labors.
The invention itself consists of bar
of steel, a bicycle crank tip, which is
set into drilled hole in the broken end
of the crank left attached to the crank
shaft, and Thoroughly and solidly brazed
into its position, making as strong and
durable a crank as if the broken one
had been replaced by new crank.
The real secret of the invention, how
ever, lies in the manner in which the
broken end of the crank is drilled,
leaving two holes bored therein of diff
ferent sizes, end to end, and rendering
the separation of the brazed portions
impossible. The invention will be
gladly hailed by all bicycle dealers in
the country, and Messrs. Liljeqvist and
Durant will reap considerable financial
benefit therefrom. They have a sample
crank, brazed together by their method,
at the repair shop of Dunbar 4 Co., on
Third street, which they are showing
to their friends.

ANDREW BARBOUR DEAD.
Was IA Resident of Washington 70,
Many Years.

Andrew Barbour. one OF the oldest and
best-known residents OF the District, died
early yesterday morning, at his home. $50
d Street southwest, al the age OF ninety
years. Nearly all his life had been spent
in Washington, where he was closely con-
nected with the progress of the city for a
period of sixty years.
The funeral will occur Friday morning
at o'clock, at st. Patrick's Church. Rev.
Father Mackin, of st. Pauls. will deliver
The eulogy. Several members of the Old

Wooten Barbour, all of this city, and Rob-
ert L. Barbour. OF Chicago.
Andrew Barbour was born in George
town in 1920, where his father, a native Of
Maryland, had settled in 1871. After re-
cciging his education Mr.. Barbour en-
barked in the contracting business in
Georgetown. His prudent yet enterpris-
ing business methods soon achieved an
enviable reputation for him in the build
ing business. He had strong prejudice
against the construction of cheap and un-
substantial buildings and always refused
contracts that did not call for the best
materials and workmanship. He erected
| Il large number Of handsome residences in
Georgetown, and also the Georgetown
| Convent, the Louise Home, and other
| large institutions. He also superintended
! the erection of the newer buildings at
| Georgetown University.
He retired from the contracting busi-
| ness in 1881 and became the Washington
representative OF n large stone company,
| in which capacity he remained till 1888,
| when he retired from business altogether.

Inhabitants Association, and with the ex-
ception of Mr. W. ". Birth was probably
better conyersant with the history OF
Washington than anyone else in the Dis

ADVERSE TO wINANs' HEIRS.
Grcnt Britain to Collect Duty on ths
BaItimorean's Estate.


LONDON, Nov. 2s.-The case Of the At
torney General VS.. winans came up in
court today. Attorney General Sir Rich
ard Finlay explained that the case was an
application for legacy duty on f2,0o0.
Under the will of the late William Lewis
Winsns. formerly of Baltimore, the lega-
cy was due to his sister-in-law, Ellen de
la Rue.
The Attorney General said the question
WIS whether the testator had his domicile
in Great Britain. The decision of this
point would affect other property. At
torney General Finlay then gave sketch
of Mr.. winans' life, with view to prov
Jug that he had his domicile in Great
Britain. although ne mad never peen nat
uralized.
William Lewis Winans died in London
on June %, 1897. Under the terms of his
will his wife was to receive an annuity OF
G5 600 and his sister-in-law one of G2.000
The remainder OF the estate was to be
divided equally between his two sons. Tho
total value of the estate was S12,610.000.
The Attorney General argued that the
hiring by Mr.. Winans of two houses al
Brighton. tine leasing for twenty-one years
of house in London, and for sixty five
wars of shooting boxes in Scotland, and
the expenditure of vast sum of money
in erecting fences around the latter, alone
proved dcmic:le.
Mr.. Walton, On behalf of the heirs, ar
gued that these leases were not intended
by Mr. Winans to indicate residence.
Walter Winans, son of the tcstator
testified that his father intended to build
a big house at Ferry Bar, on the outskirts
