ON HIS WI STATEN
Saloon Keeper Gives the Information
That Causes His Arrest.

Harry Pert, a Hebrew saloon keeper at
BOO South Illinois street, was arrested yes
terday afternoon fer violating Section 3 of
the Nicholson law in allowing persons ia
his saloon on Sunday, His arrest came
about in a peculiar way. During the after
noon William Rittenbock, living on Russell
avenue, accompanies by Pert, drove to the
police station. Rittenbock told the police
that he had been to Pert's saloon
during the afternoon and then had driven
TO a saloon in West indianapolis where, he
claims, his pocket was picket of $l4. He
discovered his loss and then drove back to
Pert's saloon and asked him to omp
him TO the police station that he might re-
port the robbery. Pert's surprise came
when the police told him that by his own
admission he was guilty of violating the
liquor law and he was arrested. He gave
bond.

days trip of General Harrison in Indiana
have been made. The itinerary for the sec
ond two days trip has been decided upon,
but the schedule has not been made out. The
special train upon which the General and

a hall. AT the other points, where very
short stops are made, he will speak from
the train, and at some places from plat
forms erected near the railroad. The fol-

CHARGE STILL N
NitrogIycerin in Oil Well Refuses to
Be Exploded.

The character of the oil well on the
Bradley farm, near Broad Ripple IS stu
unsettled, for the reason that the charge
Of nitroglycerin which was put in it for
the purpose of Shooting II has not yet
been exploded. A large percussion cap was
dropped on a cylinder upon the charge of
glycerin. The cap exploded, but it did not
explode the glycerin. The people who
have the work in hand are not discouraged.
They are confident that the gylcerin will
be exploded, and will make the attempt to-
day. The well is owned by two or three
men who are interested in the keystone
Company. Mr.. Harry Gates is one of them.
He said last night that he did not expect
that the well would be a large one and he
rather hoped that shooting it would develop
it into a gas well. The keystone Com
pany, he said, intends to sink several wells
next month. Gas would be more welcome
than oil, he said.

Police Capture Twenty-Five Men i'm
the Act of Gambling.

About 2 O'Clock yesterday morning Ser
geants Lowe and Kruger raided a room at
500 South West street and captured twenty
five young men apparently in the act of
gambling. The floor Of the room was
padded and the men sat on the floor and
threw dice. A number of card tables. packs
of cards and dice were secured. The pris-

room, but the police have information that
the room is run by Ed Givens and is a

Givens was arrested. The patrol wagon

THE FIRST SNOW.
The "BeautifuI' Fell in Abundance
Early Yesterday Morning.

Yesterday morning Indianapolis wit
messed it's first snowstorm of the season.
1t was quite fierce for a while, but the
warmth of the earth caused the snow TO
melt as fast as it fell. For about twenty
minutes the snow fell and during that time
there was the appearance of genuine win
ter. There was a strong breeze blowing
and the flakes were whipped about in the
air in a manner to bring thoughts of heavy
clothing and warm gas fires. Although
snow has fallen as early as this In this city.
1t is something unusual to have SO much
snow at this time.

Prospect of a Cold Winter.

George Pitts, one of the oldest Ice deal
ers in the city and one whose Judgment in
regard to weather is considered excellent,
predicts a hard winter. One of the reasons
he assigns is that so much rain has fallen
in the last few months all over the country.
Then the last few winters have been COM
paratively mild ones for Indiana. He says.
however, that cold winters lave lost much
of their interest to ice dealers, with six
artificial ice plants here and artificial ice
plants in nearby towns. There is no oc-
casion for anxiety, he says, regarding the
natural ice crop, for better ice for most
purposes can be manufactured at less cost
than harvesting ice. He says the streams
from which ice has been cut for years have
become so polluted that most of the ice
harvested in the canal and ponds near by
is not fit for use except in the cellars OF
the cold-Storage houses. Artificial ice looks
SO much more pure that housewives are
beginning to want no other for that reason.
He thought If a hard winter came on and
there was a big crop of ice the breweries
would fill their storage cellars. as they
have teams which are not in use in the
winter to the extent they are in the sum-
mer months: consequently they could use
natural ice at less cost than to manufac-
ture artificial ice.

TO HE'LL LOCOMOTIVES
c. PYLE'S SCHEME TO IN
THEIR TRACTION.
Iarre Nagnet VIII Draw the Engine
Downward and Make 1t Stick
to the Rails.

George C. Pyle, of this city, has invented
and patented a magnetic device to increase
the traction power of the locomotive. Har-
ry Miller, general superintendent of the
Vandalia; M. w. Mansfield, superintend-
enG of the Indianapolis & VinceInes, and =
number of other railway officials and me-
chanics have examined the invention and
express the opinion that it has much merit.
The device consists of powerful magnets
one to each driving wheel, secured to the
frame of the locomotive, with the poles of
each magnet straddling the lower part of
the wheel and terminating about one-quar-
ter of an inch above the rail, the rail be-
meath the poles forming the armature.
When the current is turned on each mag
net exerts a powerful pull on the frhme
toward the rail, and the results are exact
ly the same as though two or three thou~
sand pounds were placed on top of the
wheel, making it possible to get ten to
twenty thousand pounds greater adhesion
or traction power on any locomotive, suf-
ficient to draw from three TO five more
loaded cars, thus increasing it's earning
power from 81, 900 to 1000. TIL use of sand
will be limited, thereby avoiding its evil
effects, and a lighter locomotive will be
able to draw the load of a heavier one,
thus making it easier on the roadbed and
the bridges. Another great advantage to
be derived by it's use is the fact that it
will be almost impossible for the drivers Of
a locomotive running at a high rate of
speed to leave the track. The device Is
quite ingenious and will attract much at
tention. When applied its earning power
will begin at once, and this is the kind OF
improvements which the managers of rail-
roads are looking for. The device can be
applied to any locomotive, and as IL is free
from wearing parts there is nothing about
