BUMPED INTO A TRUCK.
An Electrician Run Deliberately
Against q Team.

An alteration between a motorman on
the San Mateo electric railway and John
Smith. teamster, ended disastrously for
the latter last night.
The teamster was driving his truck
leisurely along the car-track and refused
to move to either side. claiming he had
the right of way.
The motorman waited with patience for
some time and then lost his temper. At
the corner Of Fifth and Bryant streets he
turned the current of electricity loose and
bumped into Smiths truck. Smith was
thrown from his seat by the collision, and
a man who sat beside him also came to the
pavement. Smith was unlucky enough TO
fall on his head and cut his scalp. His
companion escaped without injury. Smith
was treated for lacerated scalp at the
Receiving Hospital. where he said his
name was John Smith and his address 645

His COMMANDMENT.

Mello Is Not Over-Particular in
His BOmbardment.
WASHINGTON, Dec. 23.-The following
Is dispatch received by the state de-
partment today:
Rio, Dec. 22.-To Secretary of State,
Washington: American masters each
of them hold Brazilian Pacific Cock
permit. The docks specified are con-
tigu0us points. Protection from shore
fire promised by government. Instruct
Picking to anchor off that point for
convenience until question equitably
settled. Insurgents make lines of fire
anywhere 10 suit their purpose, thereby
Indefinitely blocking neutral commerce
without previous notice. TowNs.
Mr.. Towns is the United States ex-
lonsul general to Brazil. His dispatch
IS construed to indicate that the regular
government of Brazil has granted
permit to shipping to land and receive
eargoes at certain wharves lying near
each other, and that our consul general
want our naval forces to see that Mello
and DE Gamma respect these permits
and do not fire along these lines. 1t is
not regarded as likely the instructions
asked will be given. The point which
the consul general urges is the same as
that contained in the petition of
American vessel masters IN Rio
received several days ago. The
cablegram was transmitted to the navy
department by the state department for
its instruction, and without any request
to comply with the suggestions. The
navy department is awaiting advices
from Capt. Picking. With discretion
vested in Capt Picking. and with
United States minister on the ground,
no action will be taken oil the repre-
sentationS of the consul general until
our other representatives are heard
from. 1t will be seen that the dispatch
is a complaint against the insurgents
and request to intervene against them
i'll behalf of neutral commerce. The
governments fire is from the shore,
and it has promised protection for the
continuous line of docks from its fire.
But MellO's forces are firing without
regard TO security on the docks. IL
seems TO be considered doubtful in the
StaCe department whether the govern
ment would be warranted in intervening
10 prevent the insurgents from fixing
their line of fire 1t is questionable
whether the rights of neutral commerce
include a right to have landing place
kept safe in besieged city.

JOY OVER DECISION.
An Odd Celebration in a South
Dakota Settlement,

An Odd Celebration in a South
Dakota Settlement.
SIOUX FALLS, S. D., Dec. %. An odd
celebration was held a few days ago in
Burk township, this county. For
several years there has been much liti-
CATION over the question of the bound
,ary lines, the contest being as to whether
or not the old government survey or the
later Van Antwerp survey should stand.
The supreme court recently decided the
question in favor of tho old survey. A
grand celebration in ratification of the
courts decision was held at the resi-
dence of Frank Randall. The guests
arrived at about 1C: 80 a. M, and the day
was spent in merrymaking. About
fifty were present. There were twenty
four tables and in the center of each
was a huge cake designed after gov
ernm mt corner. The cake was sixteen
inches square at the base and contained
in the center four pits in the shape of a
government mound, the cake being so
designated in gilt letters. Above the
cakes f1oated the stars and stripes.
After the company was assembled the
host read the decision In full and was
freely applauded. There were turkeys
and chickens in abundance and there
was enthusiastic toasting and much joy.

PERNAMBUCo, Dec. 23.-The report

by the rebels has not been confirmed,
but the most startling reports are still
in circulation here 1t is an
nounced here in a dispatch from Rio

the insurgent war vessels are off Cobras
island and that they have succeeded IN
stopping the collection of the leve-
nues from the custom house, which
have, up to the present, been
paid to President PeiXoto. There seems
to be some serious hitch connected with
the departure of Lieut.. John Conway,
third watch officer of the r,ictheroy,
and of the sixty insurgents who are
thoroughly posted upon the movements
of PeiXoto's new cruisers, and it is GER
tain that the Aquidaban and her
consorts are expected here almost at
any moment.

Bold Attempt to Rob a Missouri
Bank.
GREENRIDGE, Mo-, Dec. 23.-A daring
but unsuccessful attempt was made to
rob the Farmers. and Traders bank of
this place at about II :45 O'Clock this
morning. Cashier E. E. Durand, who
was alone in the bank, was suddenly
confounded to find himself looking into
a 44-caliber Colts revolver, held by
man masked with red bandana hand
kerchief. The robbers only remark
was: 'Hand over the money, and be
quick about it.' Instead of complying,
the cashier dropped under the counter
and made his way on his hands and
knees to a rear door. Hurriedly he gave
the alarm. Returning, the cas- hier
found the robDer ransacking papers and
books. He was again covered, but
lodged behind a partition wall, and the
thief beat haSty retreat through the
front door. By the time the robber
reached the street fifty men were ur-
rying in search of tine robber. He
walked deliberately down the m ain
street, pistol in hand, moupted his horse
and leisurely galloped away. In ten
minutes fifty men were in pursuit, and
in less than Two hours the fugitive was
captured and brought back. He re-
fuses to give his name.
