Next Year's Bike." The St. Thomas (Ontario) Free Press learns, with disappointment, that the 1899 model wheel will be heavier than present patterns, and voices a general objection from its field. The American manufacturer has particular interest in putting out such a. machine as strikes the foreign market favorably, for there is no serious reason I why the American wheel should not be king of them all, abroad. Singularly, the English wheels are of heavier weight, yet have always held popular favor at home, at least until racing events and interchange of visits familiarized the sturdy Briton with the fact that an American of equal weight could travel as far, as fast aud as safely upon a wheel a little more than one-half the weight of the English machine.

The American wheel lost a few laps because of the war, but it will be right up with the front line of the commercial army, which is already opening new campaigns. Some American wheels may be too light for general purpose wheels, but an approach to the English models would be a step backward in popularity, consequently in market demands. i'he wheel of '99 bhould be a Yankee wheel, peculiarly so. It should not weigh 40 pounds, nor pounds.

LAKESIDE'S FUTURE. Presiding: Elders Will Undertake a Pay Its Debts. A staff correspondent of The Blade, writes as follows from Lakeside: The camp meeting of 1898 is now a of the past, having closed by limitation last night. Both attendance and interest kept up fairly well to the close, and upon the whole it can be said the season was about an average success. The sermon of Bishop Ninde on Sunday morning was one of the calm and thoughtful style characteristic of the man.

His theme was religions zeal, while maintaining an upright and honorable course of living. At the service at night Rev. Dr. T. H.

Clark of OoluuiDus, made an address on hospital work, particularly as one of the practical features of Christianity. After the services the camp meeting very naturally broke up, many bidding their friends good bye for another year. The collections of the morning were to help out the financial interests here, and amounted to about $225. Bishop Ninde said he was very much cast, down when he heard that Lakeside had passed into the hands of a receiver, but since coming here and learning the real state of its affairs and the feeling of the people toward it feels much encouraged and believes that, it will come out all right. Almost one-third of the debt is now secured.

It has been decided by the council of presiding elders to put a good agent into the field, possiby two, to visit the people three or four to secure the necessiijy money to pay the debt. At the September session of these bodies (conferences) it is expected they will adopt this Lakeside enterprise for their very own, pay its debts aud run it suc- the guest Monday. Judge Hull and daughters left this morning for a weeks visit with friends in Cincinnati. Mr. and Mrs.

Charles Abert, who were here to attend the funeral of the late John Schnell, returned to their home in Canton today. ALONG THE WHARVES. STEAMER SUPERIOR SUNK. A telegram was received in the office of M. A.

Bradley vessel owners, Tuesday morning to the effect that the steamer Superior, which parted from her consort, the schooner Saudusky, in a gale Sunday morning off Poverty island, on Lake Michigan, went down in four fathoms of water between Poverty Passage and Mackinac. According to the telegram the crew consisted of 14. persons, all of whom were saved. The telegram was from Capt. Hiram Eldridge, of No.

74 Tennesee street, who was in charge of the steamer at the time. He stated that the crew succeeded in getting away while she was foundering, and reached Beaver island later, in a lifeboat. Shortly after leaving her consort the Superior struck an obstacle and commenced to sink. After reaching Beaver island the crew were picked up by the steamer City of Charlevoix, which reached Charlevoix, early Tuesday morning. The Superior was a wooden vessel, built in 1878.

She registers tons. With the Sandusky, she was bound from Escanaba to Toledo with iron ore. Today is the stillest day on the grounds since the season opened, as there were no services anywhere. But many people are staying aud others now coming in, to enjoy the quiet of the lovely place after the crowds are gone, and they arc not all Mothodihts.

Edson company have been transferred. Mr. Stoll and Mr. Edsou will formulate plans for conducting the plant in this city. The main part of the business for the present will be the operation of the freezing plant.

The company will be in the market to buy fish, and the other plants in the big combine will ship part of their product here. In time it is expected to extend the business and make Sandusky one of the most important points on the hikes. Mr. Stoll's interests will be taken by the new company for a partial cash con sideration and partly stock in the combine.

The preferred stock is accumulative and not non-accumulative as has been stated. THE STEAMER SUPERIOR. Two Sandusky Sailors Reported To Hare Been Aboard.

It is stated that Jay Leonard was wheelman and John De May engineer.

Mr. De May's relatives however, are of the opinion that he was not on the steamer. He was to take the boat at Detroit, but was dissatisfied, and his brother thinks that he went on another boat. All of the crew reached land in safety. BUSJMIHI A Fierce Attack Upon Secretary tf War Afcer.
