TKe FRIDAY, JUNE J), 1809. Crawford Among the Leading Finns to Kush the Work -IN THE FIRST TWENTY-FIVE LI8T Kflfcct on Next SettHon'a in Regard Thereto. The scope of the new bicycle trust a New York paper, will 'probably be much larger than has made ap parent. It is likely eventually to include not only the makers of "bicycles anct bicycle parts makers, but also the manufacturers of every regular cycle fitting. In all about 110 options are held by the promoters of the trust.

And uow 50 more are under There are some others who have not jnven options, but these are the largest of the makers who are ou the outside. They are nearly all firms that manufacture only a part of their industry, although several of them have-big outputs. The options in hand have been separated into three classes those on plants which have shown a substantial profit during the past three years; those that have shown small profits; those that do not show a reasonable profit on the capital invested as compared with the price of purchase asked. Those who should kiiow say that the trust will be launched at first with only about twenty- five selected concerns out of the 110 on which options are held. Among those is the Crowford shop at Hagcrstown, ranking seventh in the list.

There is little doubt felt but what both the tire and saddle combinations will be taken in. The fact that the concerns whose options are held were instructed after the visit of the principals to New York to proceed with their business as usual indicates that the trust may not be expected to make much impression on the trade this year or in 11)00, for now the makers begin to design their models for nexi year and soou will be making contracts. Another N. Y. paper says: The Chicago promoters of the bicycle trust have returned content at having organized a syndicate with a capital of $80.000,000, which embraces all the large manufactories in Chicago and will control 85 per cent, of the bicycle output of the United States.

"A customer will not be permitted to what sort of saddle, tires or handlebars shall be put on the wheel he is go- iug to buy," said J. W. Riser, piesideut of thefcMonarch Wheel Company, who assisted in the formation of the trust. "That is one of the best things we have done." AN OLD RESIDENT. The Greensburg, leading pa ucr, a town way out near Pittsburg, is out with a centennial celebration of Greeusburg's founding.

It clips from a Greensburg pr-per dated 1800 to show about old times. One clipping says: Died on Sunday evening last, Frederick Rohrer, in the 82nd year of his age. He was a native of France. He married Catharine Dccmer in 17TG in York county and shortly afterward moved to Hagerstown. In that year ho tirst visited the Western country as far as Pittsburg, then composed of a few Indian huts.

He brought a number of cattle with him which he exchanged to General St, Cluir for a tract of land in Lk'onier Valley. In 1707 he took the first wheat over the Allcganies ever imported into the Western country. In 1708 he brought his family west. lie was the tirst to discover salt in the Conemaugh river. He boiled the salt water in earthen pots and the salt to his neighbors and the Indians.

In 1771 lie moved to Hagerstown, being unable to live any longer among the Indians. In ITOli he returned to Greensburg, where he remained until bis death on last Saturday. He was one of our pioneers. BOG ATTACKS, As an open trolly car on the Wii- liamsport line was going out of thiscitv Friday afternoon near Brush's a ferocious bull dog ran out of a yard and came straight toward the car bent on mischief. Little attention was paid to the dog by the persons on the car until the animal made a attempt to get at Miss Porterfield, of Williamsport, who was sitting on the end of ji seat nearest the She hurriedly changed her seat to the opposite side and the clog then made repeated attempts to jump on the car.

Miss Porterficld was the only lady pas- and was badly scared. The doy became so bad that the motor 3 auan and conductor made an attack on the animal with stones and after a sharp struggle cfrove the infuriated beast away. Men For Philippines. Maryland military men don't believe that the call for additional troops for the Philippines will result in any call lor troops from this State. It is believed that not more than will be asked tor by the President, and the impression prevails that the various states yill not be asked to furnish their respective quotas, but that men will be enlisted individually.

This suit was based on 11,000 judgments of $100 each, with $1.30 costs on each an aggregate claim of $1,114,300. The: plaintiff alleged that he obtained thesis judgments in 1886 before one John Haynes, a justice of the peace of Frederick county. He was defeated upon the trial, on the ground that the certificates of tyie Secretary of State of Maryland, by -vjvhich he attempted to prove the signature ot John Haynes to copies of the'judgment, were insufficient to show that such signature was genuine. "It requires five pages of the printed record of this says Circuit Judge GoiT. "to the copies'of the papers just referred to, and there are said to be 11,000 such transcripts, making 55,000 pages, or 75 volumes of over 730 pages each, of these judgments imd certificates." The -Secretary of JState says in his certificate as to each judgment that it was for damages resulting from blackmail.

This certificfue is a curiosity in forth, as it does, all sorts of misconduct on the part of various officials and courts in 'Maryland. It may be found -it page 971 of the ninety-first volume of the Federal The reader will not wonder that the Federal Court found it difficult to believe that such a document, could ever have been signed by an officer holding the position of Secretary of State. MELONS VS. PEACHES, That the cantaloupe is fast supplanting the peach is evidenced by the fact that many fruit growers in and Keedysville districts are transforming their orchards into melon patches. It is stated that 250 acres of land in these districts will be devoted to raising melons this year.

The cause for the change from peach- to melons is due principally to the failure in the peach crop this year and for other reasons. Seasons come and go with favorable and unfavorable results and very often the fruit growers ither comes out at the end of the season about even or a loser on peaches. view of these conditions the growers jave been compelled to turn their attention to other pursuits; and melon raising, which is not nearly so extensive as peach industry and promising better results, has been resorted to. The melons from the Boonsboro and Keedysville districts, where the soil is especially adapted to their culture, have attained widesoread fame and the prospects for a more bountiful yield is a pleasant anticipation of feats in store, Sweeping. At the close of the argument over the liquor law Judge Stake said he was not certain but that he had the same powers as the Pennsylvania judges who have a right to say how many saloons there may be in a placn or any, and make a man walk a mile and a halt' for a drink of beer if needful.

That it might be that the law gave him even the powers to close the hotel bars, though he had not come to the conclusion it went that far. He also spoke of the comparative harmfulness of places graced by a plain pine bar aii'd no trimmings and those places decked with lascivious pictures and "Uttering allurements. Court Notes.

Card Writer Wilson was present at the beginning of the Bear-Jones trouble and told his story to a Mail reporter. He said: I am entirely disinterested in this matter, knowing none of the boys involved. I was selling writing carets near old club bouse when trouble began.

Bear was standing ou a rock drinking a -bottle of beer. Jones and his party took a table near him-in the Jones said there is the who insulted my sistdr. Bear said: Go away, 1 don't want any fuss with you. Jones drew a black jack and rose from his seat saying I came here to settle with you, but his friends grabbed him. Bear said: If raw that black jack again, I w.ili push full of holes.

I am fixed for you. All the time he stood the rock, drinking the beer. Jones arose and rushed at him reaching for the black jack. Bear fired the bottle as he ran, hitting the ground, and Jones threw, the black jack, hitting a tree. Bear had 20 yards start and went through the trees and over the rocks at full speed.

The crowd chased after him. Soon there came a shot and the crowd stopped. Later I heard of the shooting at the Park. All other stories are wrong. I saw it had no concern in it, and am ready to testify.

SLAUGHTER OF BIKDS. Some startling statistics relative to the destruction of bird life in the United States have been complied recently by the president of the Baltimore Audubou Society, Prof. W. C. A.

Hammel, of the State Normal School. According to these reports the loss of bird life within the last fifteen years, the ayeiage percentage of decrease in states from Maine to Florida and west to the Indian Ter- ritoiy has been 40 per cent. These States represent at least three-fifths of the total area of the United States. If the destruction and decrease of bird life in them has been so great in fifteen years, unless some protective measures are taken the birds will disappear entirely. It is impossible to find out the number of birds killed each year.

A single taxidermist in New York handles 30,000 bird skins in one year. From one small district on 70,000 birds were taken to New York in four mouths. In New York one firm had on hand February 1, 1880, 200,000 skins. TROLLEY, The Pen Mar trolley directors met- Thursday afternoon to further consider the matter of route. The surveyed route runs from Waynesboro due east to the creek, creek to Calvin Spiel mau)s where it cuts across to on up to Pen-Mar.

The "upper route" is the pike from Waynesboro to Rouzerville. The lower or creek route is only a few hundred feet longer than the pike route, and on account of easy grades, picturesque scenery, is preferred over the other. It is not intended to begin work on the line this year; only secure releases of right of way and place the stock: Work on the road begin early in the spring. of G. W.

RAID Town The following is by Bipps of Williamsport, and those taking exception to it will please call elsewhere and interview Col. Bipps. "The town met in special session on Friday night to legalize the issuing of Electric light Bonds, etc. The selection of an auctioneer to sell the bonds was also made in the person of Jacob Fisher, of Hagerstown. The names of two auctioneers, Charles Macgill Futterer and Jacob Ellswortb Fisher; were put before the council.

Mr. Fisher's price for the work of auctioneering the bonds was one-fourth ot one per cent, which simply means that his charges would be sixteen dollars, five cents, and if they bring more ttian that of course his charges will be greater. Mr. Futterer offered to do the for five dollars. Not that he wanted to undermine Mr.

fisher, lor he did not know that Fisher was after the job; but he was willing to do the work because he knew Williamsport was not a rich corporation and he would do it for that price to help the town. But the Colin-' cil it seems did not appreciate Mr. Futterer's kindness, for they hired Mr. Fisher at his exorbitant price. On the vote being taken to hire Mr.

Fisher a demand was made for a call of the roll and resulted as follows: Lemen, Norris and Preston. Ardinger and McCardell, Beard being absent. Why these meny who are considered prudent and careful business men, should do such an act is something we cannot understand, and will therefore make no further comment, but simply state the fact as a duty we owe the people and the corporation taxpayers." Both our auctioneers will understand that Bipps means well. CARDS CUT BAD. Prior to the fatal Pen-Mar trip in which young Jones got shot a party of his friends at his house, girls and boys, reports a neighbor, cut the cards several times to rind out what luck thej were going to have.

A young girl cut first and was followed bv the party one by one in the parlor. All the cards that came up were ill-favored and signfieant of the worst of bad luck and according to the card fortune book indicated that tears would be shed before they got back. Two of the party, young girls, didn't want to go, but finally were coaxed into going, and they went oif merrily, et with the bad omen resting upon them. As soon as they heard of the trouble they realized that the cards had told them true, and the superstitious ones are reinforced in their view that fortunes by cards are all right. Next time they cut that way the party will stay home, for tears were plenty.

SUIT, Geo. B. McC. Stouffer, at Smoketown, in the willow tree cutting in grave yard case, filed an affidavit that he did it by instruction of the trustees of Mt. Lena, who claim to own theclmrch, but whose ownership is disputed.

Stouffer was acting as sexton. Messrs. Gal or, Bowman and Houck are the, trustees to whom the church was awarded or the point that came up in court. The Snyder, Hoffman, Smith, Stouffer, Clark trustees hold the church and are conducting services. No suit has been entered to get these out yet.

Squire Ward dismissed the case for lack of jurisdiction, and a suit for trespass will be taken out and the case go to court and the whole question come up in new form to decide who the legal trustees are.

by Mr. Slieffter. Miss Carrie years of Leslie Slieffler, was attacked and severely bitten by a bull dog belonging to Jacob Boward. The dog seized her in the upper part of the left arm, tearing out the muscle and flesh, and bit her in two other places in the arm. The brute was terribly enraged and the smell of blood seemed to excite the animal to the intensest ferocity.

Miss Steffler wquld undoubtedly have been torn to pieces by the dog, but for the timely arrival of Mr. Boward, who had some difficulty in drawing the dog away. Miss Sheffler accompanied Mr, Bow ard's little child to her home and was entering the front gate when the dog rushed aOier and leaped at her throat. She jumped aside and leaned her head on the fence. The dog then seized her arm.
