Do Lightning Rods Give Projections

The question of the degree to which
lightning rods can be relied on to afford
protection has been discussed before the
London institution. The ultimatum ar
rived at seems to be that in all cases of
steady strain in which charged cloud
descending from the upper region of the
air, or approaching from a distance.
might infiict serious injury upon an I'M
protected building, well designed and
properly earth connected lightning rod
is an absolute safeguard In a case of
''impulsive rush the rod may often be
of usein bearing the brunt of the dis
charge, though sometimes the lightning
will take no notice whatever Of it, strik-
ing the building and altogether neglect
ing the rod, and it is even possible that
a high rod might attract a destructive
discharge which otherwise would not
have occurred at all.
Although therefore q lightning rod is
in many cases, probably in a very large
majority, of the greatest service, it can
not be depended upon as affording per.
feet immunity from risk, and the as
sumption which has universally been
made by "the older electricians" that
damage by lightning is in itself conclu-
slve evidence of some imperfection in the
conductor, is an unfounded one.-New
York Commercial Advertiser.

The Usual Grind Before Judge Bartch-A
Brief Session of the County
Court.

William G. Brooks, the man who was
brought back from Portland on Friday Tor
kidnapping from his divorced wife his ten
year-old son, was taken before Commits
sioner Greenman yesterday afternoon and
pleaded not guilty. The examination was
set for Monday afternoon, and in default
of 81, 900 bonds, he was taken back to the
penitentiary. Before going out he was
taken before Judge Zane, who, upon hear
ing the status of the case, awarded the
custody of the boy to his mother, pending
the examination. Brooks offered no obiec-
ton and the delighted mother went off
with her boy, who was not particularly
pleased over the turn of affairs.

THE FARCE ENDED.
The Conspiracy Cases Are Dismissed on
Variants Notion

The Conspiracy Cases Are Dismissed on
Variants Motion.
The case OF the People VS.. eX-Mayor
Armstrong and others, charged with con-
spiracy, which has been pending since be-
fore the February election, was at last
called up in the Third district court yester-
DAY morning, when MIR. Varian read the
following statement;
1.-The People vs.. Francis Armstrong ct
al; conspiracy.
Now comes c. L. Varian, United States
attorney, and moves the court to dismiss
the Indictment herein, for the reason that
upon investigation it has been found
that no conspiracy existed between
the defendants named in relation
to the transaction set forth
in the indictment and that on the con-
trary the sale by the defendants of the al
legged water rights to Salt Lake city was
made upon the solicitation of the officers of
the city and upon what the defendants be-
lieyed to be a full and fair statement of
the facts concerning the basis of the water
tights of the defendants.
&c. S. VARIAN, U. S. Attorney
There being no objection, the case was
dismissed. This result will not surprise
anybody, as it long ago became apparent
that the indictments were found for politi-
cal effect only.s
THE HoFFHE1MER CASE.
The case of the People VS.. Henry Hoff-
heimer, charged with abductiug Miss Myr-
tie Wellington, was next called up yester-
day, and this too was dismissed on the
ground that the parties who instituted the
the proceedings against Hoffheiner were
actuated by unworthy motives, presumably
desire to become possessed of some of
Henry's lucre.
CIVIL CASES.
The case of Margaret Morrow VS.. w. A.
Morrow was dismissed, as was also the
case of. B. Swenson VS.. o. D. Hendricsen.
HIS NAME CHANGED.
Deputy Holland Smith then appeared be
fore Judge Zane and stated that he wished
TO change his name to David Holland. Upon
making the necessary affidavit, the order
was made which removed the applicant
from the Smith family.
OTHER BUSINESS
The arguments in the case of John Blaz-
zarc ct al. VS.. Lucy D. Watts, administra-
tr1x ct al, were then concluded and the
matter was taken under advisement. The
title to real estate valued at ST, 000 is in
volved in this case.
THE SCHOOL CASES.
The cases of the tax payers of four of
the old school districts of this city against
Collector Hardy, in which the plaintiffs
ask for an injunction restraining the de-
PENDANT from collecting the special school
taxes assessed under the old law, came up
before Judge Anderson yesterday when
the closing arguments were made and the
case was taken under Amusement
In the case of James P. Nelson VS.. James
Hayton, the defendant was allowed ten
days in which TO show cause.
