ADELUSION DESPELLED.
The Midnight Assault Dissected by
the Detectives.

Detective Lawrence, who has been work
ing up the case of the young man who was
found unconscious on the sidewalk in front
of the Merchants hotel last Friday night,
reports that he believes that the
assault was not committed for
the purpose of robbery, as was
supposed. 1t will be remembered that
when the man recovered consciousness he
said that he was brick-layer. j. c. Aus

he had been knocked down and robbed of a
silver watch and S45 in money. The de-

Shortly afterwards Austin was found by
Officer Grattan, bleeding profusely from

ANEW ELECTRIC COMPANY
Wants to Locate in minneapolis and
Putin Its Plant

At the meeting of the council committee
on gas last evening it was decided to allow
Joel B. Bassett, with others, permission to
bore for natural gas in different parts of
the citv, and recommended that he report by
ordinance to the council the result of the
work. Samuel G. Cochran of Chester, Pa,
representing company to establish new
electric light works capable of produc
ing 10, 900 Edison incandescent lights for
Illuminating streets and buildings, appeared
and made application to lay wires under
ground. put up works and go into business.
He said the cost of the plant would be
about two thousand dollars. One superb
Ority that he claimed for the plan he repre-
sented is that the wires can be handled
with impunity, as there is no danger of
receiving a shock. by reason of the current
coming so easily and evenly. The COM
pany. Mr.. Cochran said, would like to have
action taken as soon as possible, in order
that the building might be put i'll shape as
soon as possible. The matter will be con-
sidered by the committee and report
made at the next meeting, to be held some
time next week. The committee
recommended that globe lamps be
erected at the following points:
on Marshall avenue east, from Eighteenth
avenue to Twenty-fourth avenue, one lamp
every 250 feet; one on the corner of Eight
eenth avenue north and Eighth street, and
one on the corner of Nineteenth avenue
north and Eighth street. Alderman Pratt
advocated the formation of the Office of
lamp inspector, the holder to see that all
the lamps were in good condition. Alder
man Downs thought that in conjunction
with the aid of the police this might be
done, but said that one man could not do it
alone. He said that the whole matter
should be under one mans charge, however.
The matter was not acted upon and the
committee adjourned.

women and baby carriage to the lookup.
The women were quarreling on Washington
avenue, and the baby carriage, which con-
tanned a somnolent infant. appeared to be

to be Mrs John Meyers, who lives on Sew
enteen avenue south. The younger was
her sister, Ida Pellit. who has recently been
released from the st. Peter insane asylum,
where she had been an inmate for over a
year. Mrs. Meyers had been informed that
her sister was cured and sent for her. Tillle
arrived Monday night, and when they
started down town together yesterday she
insisted upon trundling the baby carriage
at a rapid rate of speed. She also added to
the excitement of the trip by yelling. Mrs.
Meyers endeayored to regain possession OF
the baby carriage, when her sister grew vio-
lent and resisted vigorously. Tillie was
placed in a cell for safe keeping until
the question Of her sanity has been passed
upon Oy Judge UeIand. Mrs. Meyers was
allowed to go home with her offspring.

residence of John Provost. out on Western
avenue and Thirteenth street, where John
was raising sheol. He had been warned OF
the approach of the police, and when they
arrived could not be found. His mother

The Closing Regatta.

The last regatta of the Minnesota Yacht
club for the season of 1886 was sailed yes
terday under very depressing circumstances
and i'll the presence of very small party.
The rainy weather conveyed the general
impression the race would be postponed,
but as it cleared little toward IL o'clock
and fresh breeze sprang up, the judges
decided to start the boats. Seven of them
spread their sails, five cat rigs and two
Sloops. The course was the regular one
used by the club, but as the wind was from
the northwest the start was reversed and
led from Point Lookout to the buoy at
Hotel ST. Louis. The slOOps were the
Bonita and Pearl. and the cats the Ida,
Catherine, Eleanor, Modesty, Princess and
Curew. E. M. Wilson, W. Z. Haskell
and S. A. Harris were judges. The yachts
finished in the following order: Bonita,
Ida, Pearl, Princess, Curlew, Catherine
Eleanor and Modesty. The sloOpS Bonita
and Pearl made the quickest time, the for
mer winning for that class and the Pearl
