THEY ARE SAFE.
An Electric Car Is Not a Danger
Gus Place During Storm.

Gus race During storm.
The question of whether an electric
car is safe or dangerous place dur
ing thunder storm is one that has been
frequently raised during the past few
weeks, and the general impression is
that it is tempting providence to ride on
one of these vehicles during an electri-
cal storm. That such is not the case
may be seen from the following facts
stated by Wire Inspector Deming yes
terday:
ut is not strictly accurate to.say that car
is struck by lightning. Electricity always
chooses the very shortest practicable path
to reach the earth. During storm, when
the atmosphere is surcharged with electric
ity, the trolley wires absorb a good deal and
have an extra heavy current to carry. Now,
the only route by which this can reach the
earth is through the trolley arm and the car
TO the rail. occasionally the current is TOO
heavy; 1t will not wait to travel through
the half mile or SO Of wire that
is wound up i'll the moter. Instead
it leaps across from wire to wire by

A LIVELY TIME.
Ole Fremstad Gets Smashed Over
the Head in q Saloon Row.

Ole Fremstad. who, with his wife, con-
ducts Scandinavian massage estab-
lishment at 72) Seventh avenue south,
was very much mussed up yesterday
afternoon in saloon row at Molin's
place, corner Washington and Seventh
avenues south.
1t appears that Fremstad had been in
the saloon for some time, and had been
drinking heavily, About O'Clock NelS
Peterson came in, and the two had sew
eral drinks together. Finally they
quarreled as to which of them s hould
pay for one round of drinks, and Frem-
Stad, who is much the larger man, made
hostile demonstration toward Peter
son, and threatened to ''do him up"
Peterson became frightened. and, seiz-
ing a chair, defended himself so sue
cessfully with it that in less than mo-
ment Fremstad lay stretched on the
floor at his feet, with very ugly wound
in his head. The patrol wagon was
called, and the wounded man was
taken to the city lookup, bleeding pro-
fusely, and apparently more dead than
alive.
DR.. Gibson arrived about this time,
and. upon examination, found that
Fremstad's skull had been fractured
had been severed. The wound was
sewed and bandaged, and after the pa
tient had been washed he revived con-
siderably and expressed strong desire
to be taken home.
When the patrol wagon arrived at the
Fremstad home the lady of the house
was decidedly 10th to receive her sorry
looking hubby. She said that he had
become all habitual drunkard and had
given her no end of trouble, and that
she was tired of him. She was finally
prevailed upon to take him in, how
ever, and it is thought that under her
tender care he will soon recover. Shortly
after the trouble Peterson was arrested
by Officer Conway. He appeared per-
| fectly willing to go to the lookup, and
| declared that he only struck Frunstad
| in self-defense. and that he used the
chair because he knew he would have
no chance without it in fight With
| Fremstad.

THE MOTION DENIED.
Judge Pond Gives HENDERSON q
Seve re Lecture.

George HENDERSON, the old man who
was found guilty last week of assault
ing two little girls ia South Minneapo-
lis, was again in court yesterday morn
ing. His attorney, in very lengthy
plea. made motion to have the verdict
set aside on the ground that it did not
agree with the evidence and the instruc-
tions given by the court. He also asked
for new trial. Assistant County At
torney Davenport insisted that the YER
dict was just and even recommended
clemency.
Judge Pond, in denying the motion,
took occasion to give HENDERSON a sound
lecture. The prisoner himself pleaded
iii the most abject manner for mercy for
the sake of his boys, who would be left
without home.

ley has been in the city but short
time, and, with friend. has been living
in room on the third boor of the block

about forty years OF age, and, as far as

suffering, and was, presumably, caused

JOHN DAY SMITH.
He Gives a Public Exhibition o
Ear Plugging.

u
Ear Plugging.
A somewhat peculiar feature was de-
veioped in the Halloran-Lenhart $40, 600
damage case yesterday afternoon, In
which John Day Smith figured. DR..
Spratt, an aurist. was on the stand, and
stated that not over S31S per cent of the
human family had perfect hearing, and
gave practical test of the difference in
hearing, caused by partial closing of
the ear chamber. Mr.. Smith, who hap
pened to be in the room, and was not
interested in the case, consented to
be the subject of the expert
ment. One of his ears was partially
plugged up with gum, only a small
opening being left. A watch was then
held to his ear and changed from side
to side, but always held at the same
distance. He readily told on which side
it was being held, and stated ne could
hear as we'll with the plugged ear as
with the other. The attorneys closed
their arguments last evening, and the
case went to the jury.

KELLER AND CROPS.
Stearns County's Senator Won't
Talk About Politics.

Senator II. A. Keller, of Stearns
county, was in Minneapolis yesterday.
He wouldn't talk politics. He said he
had enough of that all last winter.
Neither would he discuss stone quar-
ries further than to say he "held dose
fellows DOWNS" He isn't here to at
tend the meeting of Democrats to-mor
row-at least he says lie isn't. The
subject of crops was the cnly-one that
would interest the senator. And
he would talk about crops all
day. He says everything is looking
fine up in his part of the country. Too
much rain has not fallen yet. The cold
wave following the recent heavy rains
has been GodSend. Hot weather would
have been rust breeder. He says the
crops are all right unless the rainy
weather continues longer than there is
any reason to expect.

He Must Take Rest.

The factory of the Minneapolis llar-
vester works has been shut down. at
least for the present. and its erstwhile
employees are seeking other employ
ment. Dorilus Morrison, the head of

is his partner i'll the business, should do
the same. & -
He states that for some time past
they have wanted to get out of the
business and at one time had made all
arrangements to sell out to the Ameri-
can syndicate, but in some way the deal
fell through.
Mr.. Morrison says that the factory
has not been closed permanently.

Gossip ut the Department-The Name to
Be Probably Sent in Tuesday.
The gossips uptown around the Treasury De-
partment are scanning every sign that promises
to reveal the identity Of the successor to Sec
retary Window, but they are making little or
no headway against the mystery. They all
have the name Of Foster ON their lips, as he
seems to be the most likely man in sight. The
alleged conference between him and the Presi-
dent in New York yesterday has been efectually
disposed Of by Gov. Fosters denial.
The President H. certainly the last man to
talk politics with any one. even privately, ON
such an occasion as that Of yesterday. 1t ID
undoubtedly true that the President and Gov.
Foster met and talked, but not of political mat
ters. Gov. Foster IL close to the President.
Their relations are intimate and il Il the most
natural thing in the world that, being together
in New York, they should come together
It may be remembered that the President
positively refused to speak Of the matter Of
Mr.. Windows successor until after the funeral,
and 1t il quite likely that he viii wait until this
sad week, marked by the burial Of Porter and
sherman, has passed before making public his
selection
He cannot very well mako the nomination ON
Monday, which win be observed - holiday on
account Of the birthday Of George Warrington,
and 1t il generally expected that the secret Of
his choice will be revealed very saxly next
