Closed The Cashier in Jail. i Special Star Telegram. ' Raleigh, April 27. State Treasurer Worth to-day received the following tel egram from special bank examiner W H. Palmer: "Have discovered irregu larities in the Farmer's bank at Roxboro, N. C The cashier, W. A. Jones, has gone to jail. Advise me." Treasurer Worth sent Mr. Palmer to Roxboro to examine the bank when the alleged robbery was made. The bank officials knew nothing of Mr. Palmer's movements. It is pre sumed that the cashier of the bank did the robbing. . The State had a thousand dollars deposited in the bank. - The Governor appointed Doctor Kirby, of the Asylum, and Doctors Hines and Carr a commission to hold an inquisition as to the sanity of George Mills, the murderer, The examination was made this evening. The commis sion will report next week. Mills has been pat in the condemned celL By Southern Associated Press. Jones denies any participation in or knowledge of the robbery. He admits a shortage of $2,300, and has made a deed of trust, securing that amount.. The doors of the bank have been closed and the State Treasurer notified. A warrant was sworn out this evening by bank officials for Tones' arrest, and he is now in jail awaiting a hearing. It is not known what the real shortage is, but none think the depositors are in any danger, though the stockholders will lose heavily. THE WHD2 OF THE WHEEL. For Those Who Bare " Wheels in Their Heads." Cycling may well be called the sport characteristic of the close of the Nine teenth Century. Like some colossal wave it has swept the country from cen tre to circumference, and what was, not long since, a comparatively insignificant amusement, has assumed such immense proportions that the 126 factories throughout the country are unable to supply the present demand on their out put. l he increase in interest in this sport in Wilmington has been exceedingly phenomenal, and a few facts in regard to this growth may be of interest : There are, at present, ten bicycle agents in Wilmington, representing twenty differ ent wheels. Among these, we note: The' Rambler, Eagle, Tribune, . Columbia, Stearns, Stormer, Century, Sterling, Ra pid Transit, Fowler, Waverly. Ben Hur, Ideal. Eclipse, Elmore, Victor. Hartford and Crescent. Since the first of January these agents have sold in the city 100 new wheels, which, at a low valuation, represent an expenditure of $6,000. Of these, thirty were sold to ladies. The wheeling interests of Wilmington are, theretore, larger tnan any otner sport or recreation, and soon a larger number of her citizens will traverse her streets on wheels than in vehicles. The time has come when they must be con sidered in the improvements of the city as they take place. There are a lewmoss oacKs wno claim that the bicycle is merely a transitory craze, but they are becoming fewer every day. Business men, ministers, doctors, matrons, society belles, and "all sorts and conditions of men" have adopted the gliding mode of locomotion. The advent ol this deiighttui and use ful medium has been somewhat retarded by the characteristic conservatism of the South; but at last it has come, and has come to stay. To show how the wheel is looked on in the North, a dispatch from Benton Harbor, Michigan, of the date ot April 8th. states that tracks are being built alone its streets for the exclusive use of bicycles. CITY LEGISLATION. As many of the more recent riders may be unacquainted with the city ordi nance in regard to bicycling, here is a codv: City uratnances, Art, via. zee. 2s. "No person shall-ride upon a bicycle, tricycle, or any other conveyance upon the sideways of the following streets Water, Front, Second and Third streets south of Chesnut and north of Orange streets, and on Market street west of Fourth street, and no bicyle shall be used upon the streets in the night time without a bell. Any person violating this ordinance shall be fined five dollars for every offence." This is a good ordinance and snouid be enforced, but there is one amendment that would prevent many accidents. All bicyclists should be required to carry and use bells in the day as well as at night. Right here a word to those who do not ride is appropriate. A WORD TO PEDESTRIANS. When a bicycle rider rings his bell on vou. he does not "want the-earth." He does not want you to get off the pave- memv He means no personal affront. He merely desires to let you know he is coming, so that you may keep straight ahead and not step in ms way. rre quentiy accidents are caused by pedes- . m ... . trians dodging oirectiy in tee way oi me wheel. Bicycles; hke other vehicles, ai ways go to the right. it is altogether useless-to taik aoout cycling to the person who has had a wheel tor a week ne knows it an out a few suggestions, if he wiH deign to re ceive them, may be of value. Don t imagine that you can make your machine run of itself by excessive oiling. Too much oil Is almost as bad as too little It clogs the bearings. attracts dust, and if allowed to get on the tires will cause them to wear out very quickly. Turpentine IS another thing that must be used with great care. It is good to remove spots irom tne enamel, but will eat rubber and quickly destroy the tires. The chain is one ot tne most import- ant pieces of a wheel's mechanism, and one that frequently receives least atten tion, a properly lubricated chain is indispensable to ease of running, but often the chain is either clogged with dirt and dust, or dry and creaky, uniy one of the better grades of graphite should be used on it, and it should be occasionally removed and soaked in kerosene. Don t think as soon as you get your wheel that vOu have to adjust it. They may know a little more arxrat adjust ment at the factory that, you do. If It really needs adjustment consult some experienced person. There is good racing material in Wil mington, and, with a little training, the "City by the bea would stand a good show to bring back laurels from the big races in Charlotte on the 20th of May. There are two races in particular, the Novice and the Boys', that Wilmington might take for the trying. The advent of the fairsex has made cvcline doubly dear to many of its for mer devotees, and doubtless many ataie of love will be interrupted on the shell road this summer by a "puncture" that will remind the blissful couple that "the course of true love never yet ran smoothly' A Wheelman TT7TTAT V KTt x o rron T;XLWJ-JC o, ZD (MILLS THE MURDERER.

Mrs. Hays and Mrs. Worth called on Mills in jail this morning and had quite a long talk with him. Colonel Argo has a letter from Solicitor Pou who prosecuted Mills in his trial and helped prosecute Wimberly in the other trial, both for the murder of Iana Wim berly, in which he says he does not think Mills murdered Iana Wimberly of bis own will and accord. He also said his opinion had been considerably changed since the Wimberly trial. This letter will be given the Governor. Judge Bvnum.who tried the case, hrs been asked to sign the petition for commata- tion, but be has not been heard from yet. A great effort is being made to save Mills. A good many sheriffs have Jailed' to settle their taxes with the State Treas urer, having, by special permission from the Legislature until May the first to settle.
