The wheel's career ended there upon the Geary-street side- walk. To the last the wheel tried for a victim. Just inside the window a follower of Mo- hammed was devoutly readingthe one hun- | dred and fourteenth Sura of the Koran. The Mussulman rose, crying to Allah, shook off particles of glass and found that he was uninjured The rollicking journey of the jovial cart wheel was the result of a loose nut on a indle. Henry Barnard, aged 16, driver r a_concern doing business in the Union | Square Market, was proceeding down Stockton street when the nut fell off and a hind wheel broke away. He was help- less to do anything, but held in his hor: and watched the course of the wheel from start to disastrous finish.

KNIGHT GETS POINTS ON SPOUTING FROM A WHALE HAT fearful whale that has been amusing itself lately by swallowing kedge anchors, attacking ferry boats and engaging in other similar di- versions, distinguished itself yesterday by giving George A. Knight and Henry 8. Scott a whirl off Fort Winfield Scott. Mr. Knight owns a launch, the Athlete. Mr. Scott is a sort of “Sinbad the Saflor” in his pro- clivities, and also superintendent of the United States transpert dock. Mr. Knight is proud of his launch, which compares favorably in his estimation with any and all aquatic craft that ever have figured in history, from Noah's ark down to the latest things in marine architecture, and wanted to take one more spin in it before departing for the East. Mr. Scott shares his enthusiasm to some extent, and when he received an invitation yesterday to take a cruise with the lawyer elbquent he gladly embraced the opportunity. The start from Folsom street was auspiclous. In the cargo was a basket filled with jingling glassware. On the basket, conspicuously displayed, was a label card bearing the words, “Whale bait.” There were then no whales in slght, nor when the launch passed the frowning front of Alcatraz fortress and headed due west, down the Golden Gate waterway. “George,” sald Harry, earnestly, “I tell you this whale business is all a fake.” “Yes," responded Knight, his eyes fixed greedily on the “whale bait.” 11 go you one, George,” said Harry, mischlevously. “Done,” said George: “it is a go." The “bait” was even better than they thought. They tried it once, twice— until, alas, it was all gone. They were then in excellent spirits. George told what he would do dread- ful to that whale. Harry was not a whit behind in valor. “Ha!" ejaculated Harry, after the propeller had made its ten thousandth dizzy revolution, “‘what is that there, George?" “That dumgasted thing! Why—that is the whale! The whale!" So 1t proved to be. It rose close to the launch, coming up through the green sea water with neatness and dispatch. Then It spouted—even harder than Knight spouted at Philadelphia. This surprised Knight, who didn't be- lleve that anything earthly could outdo him in that particular line. But the occupants of the launch hadn't lost a whale. Speedily the little craft was turned about. George and Harry mercifully refrained from an- nihflating the whale then and there and the huge mammal will furnish more fun before it goes to sea again, unless it meets some one less merciful than Knight and Scott. : ; i : ; - How thecity of the Universal Brother- President Chinese been formed from all classes of voters, from _the gray-haired members £ Reform Society, by the ' Quarter” of " a " Century Repub- | | James R.
