1 Mi i The two Tonawahda riot cases remain Ins will probably be presented. These are the cases of Archibald Lowe and Philip Perew. i I It is also probable that the several cases growing out of the alleged abduction of Josle O'Loughlin will be presented. It is possible that the indictment against Howard D. Herr will.be presented during the term, but this is not positive.

The criminal term will probably continue through the remainder of the mouth. BROWN'S! BUILDING. The Case Will Be Presented to the Grand -Jury The Division Walls Must Be Torn Down.

The case will not be presented as against uny particular individuals, but the entire n.atter will be reopened and all the facts in the case will be presented to the grand jury.

Edison's 'Latest Invention, Marvelous Life Reproducer, Now on Exhi- bltion in Buffalo. Edison's latest Invention, the vitascope, was seen today In Buffalo for the first This is the third city in which the invention has been shown. It wasfirst exhibited in New York, then in Philadel phia and then brought to' this where it will be' shown every hour from 2 to 10 p. m. in the lecture room Of the Buffalo Library.

The word vitascope itself explains to some extent the scope of the invention. Jt reproduces life. The first view thrown On the canvas this afternoon was a scene In the first act of "The Milk White Flag." Then came Herald square, New York, at noonday. The Lee sistere in their famous dance were shown, a scene at -the station in New York, and Arniabella in her butterfly dance. -Last was the famous kissing scene In "The Widow Jones," showing May Irwin and John Rice.

ih Marvelous is the word that best fits the exhibition. It is an exact reproduction iof life. The scenes are given exactly as they would appear in nature, with the exception that the action is a trifle slower. The colors are the same. In the butterfly danee, the ever-changing draperies, the- lights and shadows were faithfully reproduced, Later in the week the smash-up at Co-' lumbus, which took place last especially for the vitascope, will be shown; also Niagara Falls, Artists are; now at wark reproducing the famous cataract for tho vitascope.

I 'i Each exhibition will be given on the even hour, except one. Instead of a performance at 7 p. m.i it will be given at 7.30. The vitascope is frequently spoken of as an enlarged kinetoscope, but it ia not the same. In the kinetoscope the 'spectator witnesses the performance by looking into the machine and Beeing figures about three Inches in size.

In the case of the vitascope the pictures are thrown through a lens and appenr on a screen magnified 600 diameters. The vitascope also produces all tho colors of the picture. Beautiful Display, Tomorrow is the day set by Weed Co. for their first annual display of prize cups, memorial cups, loving cups and trophies of many kinds, of which they' have beautiful and elaborate supply. The display will be well worth seeing.

It' was consigned by tha Palrpont Manufacturing Company, ffew Bedford, Mass. I The silver pieces are symbolical of all kinds of athletic and bicycle games, the tornamen-tatlons and decorations being designed to snlt the occasion and the purchasers' tastes. The largest silver piece which will be exhibited will be a representation of lacrosss player in the act of wieldlny ths cress. The Present One Is Not Sufficient and a New One Will be Drafted. PROVISIONS THAT IT MAY CONTAIN.

The Bell Section Will be Touched TJp to Mako It Mora Binding-, and Scorofa-Ing, Coattln and Other Antics Will be Bastrlcted. President Bradish, as ex-officio chairman of the ordinance committee, has called a meeting for tomorrow to take up the subject of a bicycle ordinance. The committee will take up the entire subject and will not be confined to the matter of placing bells on It is probable that: the bell section of the ordinance will be re-drawn in a manner that will make it more binding, and so worded that there will be less chance of evading conviction. The committee will also take UP the question Of prohibiting bicyclists from riding three and four abreast. riding with hands off the handle bars, and all kinds of eo- S'led fancy riding on the streets will be cussed, and will probably be restricted by the proposed ordinance.

President Bradish said to a Commercial reporter that it was the intention of the committee to draft a reasonable ordinance and one that would commend itself to the better class of wheelmen, also to pedestrians.

An accident that might have proved fatal happened to Samuel II.

Bormon, fireman on engine 9, yesterday, Bormon In company with John Turnbull, another fire man attached to the same house, and few; other bicycle riders, took: a spin into the i country yesterday.

Bormon was in the lead and instead of dismounting a ad walking down the steep decline he rode on and beckoned to his comrades to follow. As Bormon was going down tbe hill at furious clip his front wheel struck a small stone and it knocked him off his balance, Ills feet left the pedals and ha conse quently lost control of the wheel. He flew down the hill and at the bottom he struck another obstruction and was flung headforemost Over his handlebars.

The fireman sailed through the air for a considerable distance and struck on bis bead and shoulders, the concussion knocking him unconscious.

We have asked for informal bids, to take down the iwall and replace it with a temporary wooden support and The struc ture was built in 1877 and was designed for light loads.

The street will be one of the main approaches to the new South Park, besides being dally traversed by heavy loads, and we think It advisable to replace, at ortce the present bridge by one which will be safe and sufficient to accommodate present and future travel, The estimated cost of such a structure! -will be $25,000. No provision for this work has been made in this year's estimates; but under title' 4, section 73 of; the revised city charter the money can be raised and the amount be included in the estimate for the coming year. 1 1 1 "We recommend that our action in having the abutment torn down and replaced by the temporary abutment be approved, and that the amount necessary' for a new bridge be raised in accordance with the above section." i 1' After some little discussion the subject matter Was referred to the committee on bridges, the action of the board of public works on closing the bridge being approved and authority granted to Invite proposals for a new structure. j.
