Either the excessive rainfall which
hooded the boiler-room of the electric
light plant at the track yesterday, or
something OF an entirely non-aqueous
nature-and the latter seems probable
impelled Mr.. Mcknight to so on great
big bender last night, and this morning
he was held in the Even Street Court.
Brooklyn, on a charge of assault in
the first degree.
Mcknight got away from the, track
asst night with a very bad start, and at
everal turns slowed down to a walk
rhich invariably ended at a saloon
.ar. He was off again, in each instance,
owever. and pulled into the stretch to
,rooklyn on a Union avenue trolley
ar.
Here he acted badly and made several
ad breaks. The pace didn't suit him
and he made several kicks against the
motormans stopping the car to let
passengers get on, declaring that all
su,-'uent entries must be scratched.
4 Se.SIg that the motorman, Watson
Kruger paid no attention to his rulings,
Mcknight pulled a pistol and forced hin,
| to dismount Then he took charge OF
| the car himself, and for the next few
minutes he made better time than has
ever been witnessed on the electric
lighted course over in Newtown.
Standing on the front platform With
one hand on the lever and the other
grasping his gun, the rum-inflamed Nc
Knight sent the car flying along the rails
at a terrific rate of speed. The passen.
gers, terror-stricken, had mostly fled
when he pulled the pistol on Motormar
Kruger. but the conductor kept to his
post on the rear platform doubtful as tc
whether 1t was better TO keen still and
say nothing or interfere and get shot.
As 1t neared the corner of Broadway
and Flushing avenue, Policeman Hell

meet at that point and disaster seemed
imminent.

Of his night-stick Then he shut off the
current, stopping the car Just as Il
was about to dash into another at tbs
junction, and lugged his prisoner off tc

BROOKLYN NEWS.
RAN OPEN CARS IN THE RAIN.
Brooklyn City Railroad Endan-
gered Public Health for Money.
Many Patrons Got Drenched In the
Pneumonia Breeders"

People who live along the various troll
ley lines operated by the Brooklyn City
Railroad Company were loud in their
denunciation OF the managers OF that
corporation this morning for their policy
OF running open cars in stormy weather.
Many persons living uptown use the
surface roads in preference to the E.e-
waited, so as to escape walking several
blocks from the stations to their homes.
During the storm yesterday open cars
were operated over every line owned by
this Company. The rain poured into the
cars, drenching the seats, and making
everybody uncomfortable.
Hundreds of people caught cold, and as
result they are coughing to-day. and in
some instances are threatened with an
attack of pneum onia. To add to the
general discomfort OF travel on these
lines yesterday some of the patrons OF
the Brooklyn City Railroad Company
were not only swindled out of car fare,
but were compelled to walk several
blocks In the storm to get a car that
would carry them to their homes.
The storm was at its height at 4.30
O'Clock when an Evening World re-
