The railroad committe. consisting OF
Messrs. Edmunds. McVay. Trip, Ohlmsn
and Pefr. met In the Office Of the first ma:
tional bank ON Saturday evening, and took
the initiatory steps towards carrying out the
objects for which they were appointed but
the committee found that they could take
no definite action until the railroad COM
pany shall do some surveying, and indicate
. feasible route for the road. President
Wicker of the Dakota Southern is expected
in town tonight or tomorrow, when it is
expected he will put q corps OF engineers
upon the proposed line.
A number Of halfgrown boys in our city
who own ponies, or who have the use OF
them, are in the habit Of Showing off" by
riding abreast through our streets at a rate
Of speed which makes it decidedly dangerous
for persons whose business requires them to
be upon the street. Yesterday morning
while a number of these reckless riders were
down Fourth street at a rafting gate
one of their horses struck an express wagon
the corner of Fourth and Cedar with such
force as to overturn the wagon, throwing
the driver out and seriously injuring him
The express. horse, frightened at the COLI
sion and upset, ran away, and had 1t not
been that the harness gave way and the horse
detached from the wagon, serious
might have resulted. As it was the
wagon was considerably damaged, and the
badly broken. This is directly the
result Of the practice of reckless riding to
which we have alluded. and it must be stop
ped. It is . good thing for a boy to own a
horse, but it is a better thing for the boy to
know when and where to test its speed.
There are plenty Of nice roads and drives
in the vicinity of Yankton where the speed
of horses can be tested without %endangering
life or property. The officers of the city
will hereafter rigidly enforce the ordinance
in regard to fast riding or driving in the city
limits. Safety and decency require that this
should be done.

DISTRICT COURT.

The district court adjourned to-day and
the jury was discharged. A jury will
likely be called to try the negro Cain when
Brisbine, who is az important witness, re.
turns from his Yellowstone trip. A per
emptlory call Of the civil calendar this after.
noon showed that no jury cases were ready
whereupon the judge in order to save the
county unnecessary expense, discharged the
jury.
A jury was called this morning in the
case Of s.. G. Piper Va. J. w. G. Morrison.
S. L. Sphinx and J. E. West appeared for
plaintiff and Bartlett Trip and c. j. B.
Harris for defendant. This case involves
principally a question Of Law, the facts
showing that Wesson & Piper assigned to
Morrison goods and merchandise for pay.
ment Of partnership debte, after which 8.
nc. Piper demanded individually $3.50
claimed by him as exempt. The defense
disputes the right of plaintiff to claim any
exemption under the statute, except BY
claiming it in the firm name, and not in.
dividnally.
This morning at,half past eleven o'clock,
Dorcas NJ. Shaw, of Sioux City, Iowa, was
brought into court for ~arraignment on AZ
indictment charging her with keeping
house of ill fame. The indictment was
found last November, when a bench war
rant was asked for by the district attorney
} Sheriff Baker aec~ertaining that the defend
dant was then sick in Sioux City no requisi
ton was made. On Saturday last she cam
to Yankton and Was arrested. Upon he
%arraignment she plead guilty, when tn

her to pay . fine Of FIVE hundred dollar
Including costs, aud in default Of paymer

Residemce OF John Braassn.
About three o'clock yesterday afternoon
a heavy thunder cloud hovcred just north
of town, and treated our citizens to a con
siderable display Of thunder aud lightning.
but not one drop of rain. Without tue
compromising benefit Of rain tho lightning
was entirely too familiar. About the hour
named a vivid flash of lightning, ollowed
by . deafsning crash Of thunder. startled
our people, and It was soon learned That .
house on the north side OF the Rhine on
Capital street bad been struck. A reporter
for this paper visited the spot and found
that the house of John Bramsen had been
invaded aud rather roughly handled BY the
electric fluid. The first contact was With
the chimney which it completely demolish-
ed above the roof and scattered the brick
In all directions. Passing down the chin
ney the fluid divided aud passed out Of two
stove pipe holes into the two rooms of the
main building. In the front room there
was . stove, and one joint of pipc-she Que

and all the doors of the stove thrown open.
but without breaking anything. The
lightning then passed out Of the front door,
slightly SCATTERING the lower part of a wire
screen door, loosesing the %clapbards be.
meath the door sill, striking q nail 10 the
door sill, driving 1t in about the sixteenth
Of an inch. scorching the wood work
around it q little. and then apparently pass
ING off into the ground. The portion OF
the electricity which passed into the other
apartment, q bed room, was apparently the
strongest, as it left more evidence of its pre-.
sencc and power. After passing out OF the
chimney it made q flying leap for the south
east corner of the room, evidently attracted
by a rifle which was standing in the cor
ner. Here in escaping from the house 9
window light was broken, the casing some
what shattered, the plastering torn of ant
the outside boards Of the house forced from
the studding. The damage to the house Il
very small. considering the apparent fore
WIZ HI.
Of the stroke. -aI
Fortunately all the family were absen
from the house at the time. Just q mo
ment before the lightning struck, Mr.
Bramsen started to 60 into the house to &c
something from the drawer Of Q book cast
which stood in the corner Of the room
where the greatest damage was done. and
had he been an instant sooner he would
have been on the direct line on which thu
lightning passed from the chimney TO TIL
corner of the room. AS it was be had jus
entered al adjoining room when the crasl
came. He was considerably dazed ant
stunned for a moment, but soon recovered
He says that for a short time the hous'
was so impregnated with The smell Of sui
phur that it was almost impossible to re
main inside.
There were 20 lighting rods on III
house, and We presume if a lightning ro'
peddler should come along now he woul,
find a customer in Mr.. Bramsen.

A Littae CAila strays Away froA Homo
and aSter . DiligsNt Search 10 Found
and Restored TO Its Parents
Yesterday noon . little girl three and
half years old, daughter Of A. Dillinge'
who resides on Green street between Fourth
and Fifth. vas permitted by her parents to
accompany a nsighbor's child, about ten
years old, to the Congregational Sunday
school. When the school was dismissed
the little child became separated from her
companion, and evidently becoming Devil
dered, instead of going home wandered of
towards the lower part of town. The girl
with whom she went TO Sunday school re-
turning home without her alarmed the
parents ofthe miaing child, and they went
in search Of her, but up to six clock were
unable to find any trace of the missing
little one. Mrs. Dillinger, in great distress,
then called upon the mayor, made known
her los, and asked him to assist in recov-
ering the child. The mayor Immediately
organized a search, and about nine o'clock
in the evening policeman P. G. Conway
was successful in finding the little wanderer
snucly ensconsed in bed in a house on the
river bank near the steamboat ways. 1t
appears that after leaving the Sunday
school the child wandered off to the neigh
borhood where she was found without at
tracing any attention. She was finally
noticed BY the lady in whose house she was
found, walking on the railroad track. An
engine was engaged in switching cars in the
immediate neighborhood, and the lady
seeing the child was in danger, rent out
and took her of the track. Finding that
she did not belong in the n~eiahborhood,
and being unable to understand from the
little on, the name and residence Of her
parents, and that she was tired and sleepy,
the ~kind-hearted lady took her into her
house, fed her, undressed her and put her
to bed with her own children. And here
it was that P. e. found the little one
snugly and contentedly lodged in bed. He
had her dressed at once, and taking her into
his fatherly arms carried her home and res.
tored her to her parents.
In this connection it is proper to say that
the most active searchers for the lost child
were Capt. and Mrs. J.. c. McVay, who
visited all parts of the city and never re-
Taxed their efforts until the child va.
found. The little one was in Mrs. McVay's
class at Sunday school, which gave her and
her husband q deeper interest in its fate.
The name Of the lady who found thu
child and cared foF it is Mrs. Devers.

Blind Cat ;, in Rome.

A Rome correspondent of the Phila-
delphia Bulletin writes: Our September
amusement is not so poetic. This con
sists OF game called "Blind Cat, well
known to children, only it takes place
in public here, and all during the night,
lasting sometimes until midnight.
Those who have been in Rome will re-
member the Piazza del Popolo, placed
at one end of Rome. On one side it has
one of the town gates leading into the
country; on another there is garden {;
opposite to this is the Pincio Hill, with
its marvellous terraces, and in front of
the gate first mentioned begin The three
principal streets of Rome-the Corso,
Babuino and Ripetta. The Corso is in
the center ofBabuino and Ripetta-ex-
actly in front, therefore, of the gate. A
church separates each street from the
other. In the center Of the Piazza is a
pyramid and the inevitable fountain. 1t
is at this center fountain precisely that,
when all is quiet and omnibuses have
ceased to run. and cabs and carriages are
rarely seen, that men. and women meet
in companies and begin the game of
Blind Cat" One of the company is
blindfolded at the foot of the column,
with his face to the Corso, and then he
is let loose to find his way to the Corso.
You guess the rest. The. unfortunate
blindfolded man or woman, instead Of
going to the Corso, as he thinks, moves
in every other possible direction and
finds himself, when unbranded, either
at the Princes gate or on the other side
of the fountain! Rarely, if ever has
any one reached the Corso safely. Be-
fore beginning. each player deposits a
trifie in the Ysecretary's hands, and each
loser adds to the store until the hour of
ceasing has come. The money is spent
in supper and dance, or on a dinner
the following day. And this is the Ro-
man amusement for September, and big
men and women take part in it with the
enthusiasm of children.
