WHEEL SUPERIOR TO HORSE Little Interruption to Telegraphic Comiiiuulrntion Through Lawless ness of Individuals, A Satisfactory "War HkIIooii Must Curry Threw- or Four Passengers, Shells mid Gun. Gen. A. W Grcely, clileC signal officer, lias presented a particularly interesting report to the Secretary of War. He treats of bicycles, balloons, and telo grajrta., scientifically and practically. The report- contains some very very in teresting things, us, for instance, the following relating to the bicycle: Interruption to telegraphic communica tion lias been most infrequent during the year. The most fiequeut cause of luter ruptiou has been through lawlessness of in divmuals In pulling down poles, shooting off insululors, etc. The speedy resumption of communication lias been due to a great extent to the adoption of the bicycle as a means of transportation for rci airmen, the i-jorc miiiu as well a more economical method of travel.

Different types of bicycles nave been selected for experimental tesi witn a view to the tact that they must curry ncavy loads over rough ground at moderate speed. It is evident tiat no sin gle tyjie will fulfill all tiie requirements of a military wheel everywhere, owing to ihuoivi.i . uuiHue conditions a iid varying road conditions. The suggestion of the following para graph will probably be heeded as soon as possible: To insure speedy communication in case of emergency, all important pests should be connected witn the commercial system either telepnonic-ally or telegraphically. Wheie such means of commuiiicuiir.u uo not exist uiey should be speedily ci.iist ruct ed for emergencios, especially between -tort Wa&nmgtou, Md., anil Washington, D. C; Fort Warren and boston, Jlas.. AI latraz Island and San Francisco, Cal.; Fort Slocum and New York city. The most notable advance is in the de ekfjMiieui or the combined telegraph and teleptioue apparatus devised by Capt. James jUlen, fcigiial Corps, which is uis linctly 8UHrkir to any previously con structed, and admirably answers all re quirements. An oiierator can easilv carry a combination telegraph anu telephone ot fjee, and while one soldier telegraphs a message, another may, over the same wire, talk tciepiionically with another sta tion, the distant receiving operators hear ing only their own message.

Mr. Lee Crandall, who was one of the foitunates who escaped from the wreck of the Chesapeake and Ohio train, Thurs day, was in the lobby or the Ebbitt House last night, oelliugof his experience. "The tram was going at a great rate of speed," lie said, "fjrty miles an hour, at least, at tempting to make up time. I cannot con ceive how so many jieople escaped. It seemed to me, arter the terrible shock, thai my car, the Washington sleeper, would be crushed in uud all of us killed. I was a very thankful man to get away so little injured. When I had gotten out, for some time we believed that the number of deaths would be large. The scene was one or fearful confusion, and we imagined tliat underneath the cars were numerous dead bodies.'' Mr. Frank O. "Walters, of Bangor, Me., Is in the city. He hopes to secure a con sular appointment. Mr. Walters said to a reporter for The Times last night at the National Hotel: "There are any number of abandoned mines scattered through the mountains of Maine, besides the gr.od ones that nre being Worked. It is an easy matter to find gold In the Maine hills. There is any quantity of it, but usually in very small veins not worth be. ing worked.

When you first begin to feel " below the mark " ; when you are not getting all the strength you need out of your food, when you are languid and indisposed, it is time to try the toning, strengthening effect of Dr. Pierce's Golden Medical Discovery.

Simmons, a discharged em ploye, is held at No. 0 btation, charged with having caused the blaze. His ar rest on the charge of arson was the re sult of a careful investigation of the case made by Detective Hartigan. It was about 0:20 last niguC when Mr George Dutrow:, bookkeeper at tiie hotel was standing on the landing on the third floor after having made a lour of tiie hotel to see that everything was in order. He was talking to Mary .Martin, one ot the colored chambermaids, when they de tected the odor of smoke. A hurried in vestigation or the rooms oiii the udra tioor was maue, but witnout discovering tlie origin until the chambermaid went to the floor below. m going through a narrow passageway which leads back from a private diuing 100111, siie met feimmous coming out of a room, which he had occupied while em ployed at the hotel. Upon entering the 100111 which she had seen him vacate an instant before, she discovered tlie bed clothing on lire, in three places, und the gas jet, burniug at full headway, pushed tuck against tne wall, so that the paper had also ignited. 1 he oeu cioctiiug in the room adjoining was nl.so on file, and both rooms were tilled to suffocation with smoke Tlie erj of fire was raised, and at once there was great exc.tement in the house, which had upward ot Titty guests.

When it was all over again, lie went upstairs and entered a room of one of the clerks, in stead ot going to the room which he had occupied aud in which tlie fire was dis covered. Detective Hartigan at once went to work on the case, and Simmons, when arrested, told a number or very conflicting stories. "Simmons was formerly assistant steward at tiie hotel and worked in the lunch room. He was discharged last Wednesday by Miss Katie Schluterburg, the proprietress for intoxloatlon, and is said to have declared that he would take revenge. He had been allowed to remain In the hotel until he found other employment or should re turn to his home in Charluttesvilie. Miss Schluterburg was on her way home from Baltimore at the time of the fire aud reached the hotel a short time after it had been extinguished. Owing to the prompt action or Policemen Home and Gordon the damage did not exceed 0. A BICYCLIST'S XNJUHIES. lUmnwny Team Collides With Wheel or .John E. -Mitchell.
