Lecture by Highway Commissioner
James H. Macdonald Last Night

Lecture by Highway Commissioner
James H. Macdonald Last Night.
James II. Macdonald, the state high
way commissioner, delivered a lecture
on good roads in room 81 North Shelf
field hall last night. The audience was
quite large. being for the most part
composed of members of the Sheffield
Scientific school. The lecturer gave
some splendid hints to young engineers
as to their specifications of new roads
and for the improvement of old ones.
He said that most of the trouble with
modern roads Is the result of the fall
ure of the engineer to properly specify
concerning the sub-drainage. This
faulty sub-drainage has caused most
of the defects In the asphalt and other
kinds of hardened Davements in this
country. The state of Connecticut has
been saved thousands of dollars by
reason of the SUBJ drainage matter be-
ing carefully provided for. The lee
ture was of much value to all those
who are interested in good roads and
their construction. He told of his WIS.,
its to various cities in the United
states, and of the different methods
employed by the various builders of
permanent and hardened roads.

AS a result of a trivial quarrel Amado de
Gracia and A. Arappa, two Italian fruit
dealers, are, lying at the Harbor Receiv-
ing Hospital suffering from knife and bull
let wounds and may not recover.
The two men met in JUDAS saloon at 42O
Broadway last night and quarreled.
Arappa left to avoid trouble. He had
walked but a short distance when De
Gracia overlook him and struck him on
the head with knife, infiicting nasty
wound, and as the assaulted man turned
around to discover his aSsailant he was
stabbed again over the right breast. In
an effort to escape further injury the
wounded man rushed into the middle of
the street, and as De Gracia continued to
follow him Arappa pulled out his pistol
and fired three times at him. Two of the
and the other in the abdomen. The sound
of the pistol shots attracted the police.
and both men were hurrtedly sent to the
hospital.
DR.. Himmelsbach found a three-inch in
csed scalp wound on Arappas head and
a two-inch wound over the pectoral mus
Gle: His wounds were dressed and he was
put to bed.
The physician extracted the bullet that
had lodged over De Gracia's eye, but no
amount of probing could locate the one
also placed in the ward close to the man
he tried to kill A policeman was detailed
to watch both men, as 1t was feared they
might renew their quarrel.
Detectives McMahon and Wrenn visited
the hospital shortly after the men
reached there and took their ante-mor-
tenn statements. The stories told by each
did not vary to any great extent.
De Gracia stated that Arappa insulted
him on Sunday evening, and when he met
him last night he tried to get the latter to
explain his conduct.
The weapon used by De Gracia was a
pocket-knife, with a three-inch blade,
shaped like a bowie-knife. The pistol was
3S-caiber.
De Graca resides at Stockton and
Broadway He is well known to the po-
lice as a quarrelsome and dangerous man.
He is said to have stabbed persons in
Italy and since his arrival in this coun-
try. Arappa lives at 327 Broadway. Both
men are about 81 years of age Although
the wounds are dangerous the doctor has
hope for their recovery.

A HUMAN BRUTE
CHARLES NELSON ATTACKED AS
HE LEAVES COURT.
Exciting Scene in the Corridor of the
City Hall Outside Judge Mo
gan's Courtroom.

There was an exciting scene outside
Judge Mogan's courtroom yesterday
morning, caused by the screams of women
and girls and the frantic efforts of a
prisoner in charge of Policeman Coughlin
to shield himself from the attacks of the
women.
Charles Nelson, alias Johnston, a piano
player was held by the Judge to answer
before the Superior Court in $4,000 bonds
on the charge of attempting to criminally
assault five little girls in his room on Fol-
som street, whose ages ranged from to
u years.
The girls and their mothers were at the
door of the warrant clerks room as
Coughlin passed along with Nelson on
his way to the City Prison. One of the
women grabbed hold of Nelson with one
hand and struck him in the face with
the other, yelling at the top of her voice
You scoundrel-you scoundrelH The
other women also rushed at him, and he
endeavored to shield himself by crouch
ing their mothers so excited, began to
scream, and there was a rush to the
scene from all quarters of the hall.
Coughlin tried to shield the covering
wretch as much as he could, but the
women were not to be denied, and blow
after blow was rained upon Nelson's face
and body till some other policemen came
to Coughln's assistance and Nelson was
hurried TO the prison..
One of the women was so excited that
she went into Mysteries, and it took some
time before she recovered. Nelson was
dragged away before the men who hur-
ried to the scene comprehended what 1t
was all about, otherwise it might have
Jared worse with him.

Took Bad Money.

Stella Hassell, a colored woman, was
arrested last night and lodged in the har.
Dor police station on charges of passing
counterfeit coin and of battery, preferred
by L. H. Guest, conductor on al Mission
street car. Guest claims the woman
boarded the car at Steuart street and
handed him bogus dollar Just before
the car came to a stop at the ferry he
discovered that the coin was bad and ac-
cused her of having given it to him. She
not only denied this, but struck him a
blow in the face. In evidence he shows a
dollar apparently made of glass and iron
and a badly cut face. Stella denies this.
She says she boarded the car at Third

and did not strike Guest. She admits that
he attempted to prevent her from leaving
the car and that she pushed him against
the door
