Alfred Louis Shoots at Louis Bor-
den. but without Effect.
Louis Borden, of 90 West Indiana
street, stopped a bullet yesterday
morning and had a miraculous es-
cape from sudden death. The shot
was fired point blank at Borden by
Alfred Louis, burt there was not
enough powder in the cartridge to
send the lead pill through the heavy

changed his mind, asked Borden to
take back his property and return

again Borden refused. Yesterday
morning at o'clock they came to-
gether again. Borden maintained

through Borden's coat, vest and
shirt, and left a purple mark on the
abdomen.

BOSTON,S GRAND OPENING.
The Popular Clothing House Be-
gins Its Surinr Trade in STYLE

The Popular Clothing House BE-
gins Its Spring Trade in Style.
The usual spring opening of the
Boston Clothing store took place yes
terday, and the event was quite equal
to any of the former gala occasions of
this kind in that establishment. The
store was thrown open to the public at
O'Clock in the afternoon, and the
scene that the store presented, with
all the beautiful floral decorations I'M
der electric light, was one to be re-
membered. About $500 Easter lilies
and a number of palms and a great
variety of ported plants were used In
the decorations. In fact the big cloth
ing house was veritable bower of
beauty. To add to the effect of the
floral display, an excellent programme
of music was rendered by Seibert's or
chestra.
Crowds of people called during the
afternoon and were received by the
corps of clerks, who showed the yisi-
tors over the house. In the evening the
number of people who visited the store
was not so large, owing to the rain.
The ladies who visited the store were
especially pleased, as, besides getting
number of ideas as to how the. youth
of the city should be clothed, they
were presented with cut flowers. In
addition to very large and complete
display of all kinds of mems clothing.
Messrs. Bowlby & Co. are showing an
unlimited supply of boys clothes Of
every description.
On the whole, the display and the
manner of conducting the onenfn u
made it one of the most successful af.
fairs of the kind that has ever been at
tempted in this city.

AGAINST THE BILL.

Reformatory Board Does Not Fa-
vor the Schumacher Measure.
The st. Cloud reformatory board, of
which Mayor Smith is the chairman,
held it's regular monthly meeting in
the mayors Office yesterday forenoon.
Supt. Lee Informed the board that six
prisoners had been finally discharged
and five had been released on parole,
during the past month. Before the
meeting was called to order the mem
bers of the board discussed the Sehur-
meier anti-convect contract labor.
The prevailing sentiment was against
the bill. inasmuch as it forbids the
penal institutions from engaging in
any industry unless it is we'll repre-
scented in the state, and therefore sub
ject to much competition.

AhOtnef WeII-h nOwn Citizen sue
cumbs to the Inevitable.
The many friends of Patrick Me-
Donnell will regret to learn of his
death, which took place at his resi-
dence, 223 Spruce street, at o'clock
yesterday morning. The deceased was
born in Ontario, Canada, fifty-six years
ago, and at the age of thirty years
made the United States his battlefield
OF life. He was a railroad contractor
OF much prominence, and his dealings
with his. fellow men were always of the
most honorable character Socially he
was kind. generous, warm-hearted and
true, and he leaves behind him many
a friend who will remember him with
grateful prayers for deeds of charity
performed. A few years ago that re-
lentless foe of mankind-consumptio
seized him, and, although he sought
refuge from it's ravages in almost every
cline r :? n Maine to California, his eff
forts were fruitless. He leaves behind
him wife, daughter and son, who have
the sympathy of all in their aff1iction.
The funeral will take place Saturday
from his late residence, and friends are
invited to attend.

PUZZLE FOR MECHANICS.

Nozzle That Is n Sumner.

Chief Jackson to Test a Spray
Nozzle That Is sumner.
At 8 o'clock this afternoon will be
given at the fire department headquar-
tiers test of a spray nozzle, the prin-
ciple of which has proven as great a
puzzle to mechanics as did the old
fint-lock firearms of Capt Smith and
the other colonists to the redskins in
the days of PocahontaS. The end Of
the nozzle is in the shape of a funnel,
making it look like the muzzIe of the
old-time blunderbuss. Into this funnel
ball is set loosely, not a thing to
keep it in place but the concave form
of the funnel
Turn the funnel from an upright po-
sition, and the ball will roll out the
same as a base ball will roll out of the
palm of the hand unless clutched by
the fingers when the hand is turned
over, and yet no amount of water
pressure will force that ball out of the
funnel. This is the principle that ex-
cites the philosophical speculation of
the average mechanic who sees the
fact, but understands not the cause,
yet cannot doubt his eyes.
]. w. Monarch, representing the
American Ball Nozzle company, of
New York city, is having Chief Jack
son make the test, with view to hav-
ing the nozzle introduced into the fire
department here. They are also eX-
cellently adapted for lawn sprinkling

A BOLD DEFENSE
offered by NIcKenna in the As
sauIt Case.

SaSe.
The McKenna assault case was con-
Guided yesterday before Judge Twohy.
On the morning of April Is arguments
VIII be heard and a decision rendered.
The defense advanced by the defend
ant yesterday was a bold one. He
emphatically contradicted the state
ment made by the Yarnish woman and
declared positively that he was not
even in her bedroom. He admitted be-
ing tn the old lady's house drinking
with the two Brentell boys, joseph
Hartman and stranger from Min
neapolis. McKenna alleged that none
of their party knew the latter: thew
simply picked him up while drinking
around town that evening. McKenna
sought to cast the blame of the as
sauft on the stranger, and asserted
that the Minneapolis man, and only
he, was at any time alone in the same
room with the aged widow. Several
witnesses sought to corroborate Nc
kenna's allegations, but their state
ments were more or less conflicting.
The Minneapolis stranger was not
mentioned during the testimony of
Mrs. Yarnish or her granddaughter.

Acted in Ignorance.

Judge Kelley is engaged hearing the
suit of Matthias Vondrasck, against T..
c. Clemens. The suit grows out of a
real estate transaction and the loan
ing of some money. Walter Book
claims Vondrasck gave him power of
attorney to borrow $1,CE0 for him.
Book borrowed the money, giving a
mortgage on Vondrasck's property and
then Vondrasck refused to sanction
the deal. He brought suit to have
the mortgage set aside, claiming that
he, through lack of knowledge of the
English language, did not know the
full import of the document he was
signing when he gave Book power of
attorney.

The initial storm Of the season oc-
CURED during the early part of last
night, and for two hours rain fell in
torrents, and there was display of
the elements vivid and startling
enough to satisfy anybody. The
clouds began to gather before supper
time, and at O'Clock the heavens
in the southwest were black. A
greenish tinge sufficed to scare half
the population, and a rush of warm
air from the south served to con-
vince most weather "cranks" that a
cyclone was near at hand. All the
conditions of a "twister" prevailed,
and the lightning was vivid and
oftentimes prolonged. While many
thought it too early in the year for
such an atmospheric disturbance,
others recalled the fact that the cy-

usual amount of CONSERVATION and
fear until the storm had spent it's
fury.
The storm was local in character,
and burst in full force at $50, when
the clouds opened and released tor

rents of water. In few moments
the streets were filled with running
waters, and the sewers were unable
to receive the full amount, hence
overffows and exceedingly sloppy
sidewalks were the rule.
SUCH VIVID LIGHTNING
has not been seen here often. It
was binding, and the thunder
cracked away like a score of heavy
cannon. There was confusion on the
streets. and to add to it, a fire
alarm from Sixth street brought the
apparatus laundering through the
business portion of the city. The
heaviest fall of rain occurred be-
tween $50 and 8 o'clock, but there
was continuous downpour until
1890, when the clouds broke, there
was rush of cold air from the west
and the rain ceased. .;
The heaviest part of the storm
was considerably southeast of this
city, and it was plain to be seen
that the country in that direction
was receiving a severe soaking and
shaking up. The storm came from
the southwest, passed east, then re-
turned and daIlied here until it

on the trolley wires made things in

A house was struck by lightning
near South Park, but the bolt only
shattered the chimney and one side
of the house, injuring none of the
occupants.
The Chicago-bound trains on the
various lines ran into the very teeth
of the storm, but it is assumed. they
went through all right, as no re-
