TIE SENATOR AND THE FOOTPAD.
Failure Of an Attempt to. Rob a
LaWmaker.
He Empties His Revolver at the Van
ishing Form of an Early
Morning Garroter.

When a RECoRD-UNIoN reporter
passed along Tenth street, south of K,
about o'clock yesterday morning there
was nothing in sight to indicate that
shortly afterward a member of the Sem
ate would be bounced upon by footpad
in that locality. Indeed, the only per-
sons found on the street at that hour
were two policemen, and they were
within one hundred and fifty feet of the
spot where Senator Buggy says footpad
tried to stand him up.
1t appears the Senator was at the Cap
itol until quite late, and after several
hours Of wearisome committee work he
went with friend to the Saddle Rock
Restaurant on Second street for lunch.
He was returning leisurely to his room,
near the Capitol, and was just crossing
the alley on the east side of Tenth street,
between X and L, when man jumped
from the alley and ordered him to halt
The Senator had prepared himself for
just such an emergency. He had pistol
III the right-hand pocket Of his Overcoat,
and had good grip on il, with his
finger on the trigger. The suddenness OF
the attack so startled the Senator, how
ever, that his finger systematically
pressed the trigger, and Bang ~ went
| his pistol before he could get il out OF his
pocket
The footpad vanished instantly back
into the alley, but before he had time to
run many yards Senator Buggy had his
gun trained on him and proceeded TO
empty all of its chambers in an endeav0r
| to bring the rascal down.
Although the man escaped the Senator
is quite certain he hit him. AS it was
very dark in The alley he deemed it i'm
prudent to follow the tootpad, who could
easily have secreled himself and shot his
purSuer.

PATCHED a SIDEWALK.
Z. Elkus' Carpenter Fined $40 for
Violating the Ordinance.

I. Elkus' Carpenter Fined $40 for
Violating the Ordinance.
L. Elkus appeared in the Police Court
yesterday morning in lieu of l.. A. Sim
mons, carpenter, who was convicted of
violating the ordinance relating to the re-
pairing of wooden sidewalks while in
EIkus' employ.
Mr.. Elkus was DESTROYS that the case
be dismissed, but City Attorney Brown
made decided objection, saying that the
matter had been put off time and again,
and the man had been convicted and
should be punished. Poor people were
obliged at times TO mortgage their prop
erty to enable them to comply with the
provisions of the ordinance, and he did
not believe the court should be re-
specter Of persons.
The sidewalk around the property at
Front and streets was VIGOROUSLY bad
in fact, it could hardly be eXcelled in
that respect by any other sidewalk in the
city, and it was certainly right that the
penalty for violating the ordinance be
enforced.
Justice Davis imposed a fine of $40 on
Simmons

SOMETHING new IN ELECTRICITY.
A DepoIarizing Excitant That Insures
Constant Action.
w. W. Felts' Discoyery-It May BE
Seen in Operation at eggs o
Street, in This City.

A gentleman named w. w. Felts has
made, or claims to have made, a discov-
cry in the science of electricity that
promises great results in the matter of
economy in operating electric batteries
for Lighting, power and Geographic pur-
poses. His invention may be seen in
operation at DDS 0 street, by those in
terosted.
The invention consists Of two primary
batteries, one for electric lighting and
the other for power, telegraphing and
telephone work. The claim of the in
venJor is the discovery Of an eEcitant,
which acts as a depolarizer, insuring the
constant action of batteries. Tests have
been made on both batteries covering a
period Of about seven months, and in
every case the batteries have proved to be
absolutely constant,
The battery for lighting has great sci
anlidc as well as commercial value.
Lighting from a primary battery Tor a
longer period than three or four cOnsecu-
tive hours has been considered impossi-
ble. brom the kells battery a sixteen-can-
ole power lamp has been run at lnCandes-
CeHce tor from three to twelve hours
each night Tor two weeks without re-
newing the exCitants.
The battery from which two twenty
Folt three ampere sixteen-caudie
power lamps are burned at DDS o
street consists OF thirty cells, each six
inches high by four inches III diameter.
The voltage OF the thirty cells is %, and
maEImum amperage Of Il This bat
terry has not been worked on a large
Rcale, but from the fact that the zinc is
almost perfectly preserved, thereby pro-
longing the life OF the battery oNcItants,
IL is quite apparent that the cells may
be made large enough to yield 200 or 800
amperes. Mr.. Eelts, The inventor, places
the limit al 500 amDeTeS.
The battery for power and telegraph
ing is marvel OF simplicity, cheapness
and durability. The clements are copper
and zinc, ana its voltage IS the same as
the gravity, with much greater amperage.
Tests nave shown That the waste OF zinc
in this battery need scarcely to be taken
into acCOuDyIn computing the running
cost, while the cost OF the eXClJauC is Tar
below that Of any battery IN use. a bat
terry OF eighty volts was run twelve hours
on an open circuit with no resistance in
the line ana without doing the slightest
injury 60 the battery, 1t Is needless to
say that this battery requires almost no
care nor attention. 1t may be used for
the renewal of any OF its elements, while
cleaning or oyernauling are entirely an
necessary.
Caveats have been filed and patent APP
plications are pending. When granted,
the invention viii be placed on COM
mercIai basis. A company has filed
articles of Incorporation with capital
stock of Sl,gye03O divided into 10000
shares Of SlgJ each.

of Eggs to the East.
During the greater portion of the year
probably four-fifths of the eggs con-
sumed in the California cities come from
the East-or rather the West, but east of
the Rocky Mountains. Chicago being the
chief shipping point. In the summer
and fall they come here by carloads.
just now the reverse is the case. Cali
fornia eggs are being sent to the East by
the carload. Back there the winter has
been unusually severe, and thus far there
have heen few indications of the approach
Of spring. Consequently the hens have
been resting on their oars, SO to speak,
and eggs are both scarce and high priced.
selling there very recently as high as 40
cents a dozen.
Herein this sun-kissed section of the
republic. however. the hens have been
very active for weeks past, and their
product is both plentiful and cheap. The
result is that large quantities Of eggs have
been sent across the continent from here.
Yesterday Wood, Curtis q Co. OF this
city dispatched the first full carload that
has been.sent from this city, the eggs
having all been gathered from Sacra-
mentO and nearby localities.

Result of Fracas IN the Tamale Dis
trIct on Monday.
In the Police Court yesterday morning
Angel Veliz appeared TO answer to a
charge of disturbing the peace, preferred
against him by Pastor Torres.
This particular angel possessed de-
cidedly coppercolored complexion,
slightly distigured by the loss of various
small portions Of cuticle that had been
rasped off by collision with some object
unknown. He had imbibed deeply of
the wine that runneth red and sour from
the barrel, and, fired with superficial
courage, had made an attack on his BUSH
ness rivals corral.
This aroused the Pastors Latin blood,
and he handed the Angel over to the po-
lice after ne had got through with him.
Angel, not being well versed in Anglo
Saxon. Ballitf Hardy attempted to act as
interpreter, but was not blooming sue
cess in the angelic tongue, and City
Attorney Brown had the case postponed
until this morning, in order that an inter-
prefer might be obtained from the tamaIe

coYery OF the property, claiming that it
belonged to her. The Sheriff delivered
the properly TO klery, who retained pos

Kelly and Heisen were ,Swifps bonds
