SERIOUS CUTTING scRAPE.
Joseph Upton Stabs Charles I. Clark
With aeJaek Knife.

4 Marion Junction. S. D., April Sat-
urday evening the saloon of e. w.

as Joseph Upton, and who has been a
roustabout at the Marion house for u
few weeks past, assaulted Charles r..
Clark, son of L. v. Clark, a prominent
contractor and builder, with large
Jack knife. One Of Clarks' cheeks
was cut nearly to the bone for Its en-
tire length and his upper lip was sew
cred The assault was unproyoked and!
unexpected. The knife which Upton.
used was very sharp. and after his ar
rest milestone was found on his
person, which was evidently kept to
sharpen up the weapon.
Upton was placed in. jail almost im-s
nlediately after the ARRAY. There was
some talk of lynching among the hot
heads.
Upton was arraigned before Justice
Van Ruschen, and not being able to
furnish bail was again placed in Jail.
Il States Attorney Edmuns has been
notified, and Upton will doubtless be
given a hearing today. Dr.. A. e.
Hofer was summoned to attend Clark,
and took numerous stitches to close

/ ant.

A TEETH DEcAYlNe JOB.
Men working In storage Bsttery Pits
Ley II 20 suIphuric Acid
Fumes.

Calculated TO arouse wonder and
perhaps excite the curiosity of the
medical and dental professions we're
SC generally known is the fact that
the teeth Of the men who handle the
storage batteries Of the Thirty
fourth street crosstown cars rot
from the effects Of the acid fumes
which arise from the batteries as
they are charged, while apparently
no other i'll effects are felt, says the
New York Tribune.
Twelve men work in the two pits
at the power house in West Forty
second street, in which the storage
batteries are taken from the care,
recharged and restored TO the cars.
The pits are situated between the
tracks near the doors at each end
of the building through which tho
cars enter and depart. Each pit has
two openings just large enough to
permit batteries TO be lowered from
and raised to the cars through them.
AS the cars are stopped over the
openings, which are exactly the
shape of the batteries, the reetangu-
lar boxes, their power having been
consumed, are released from the fas-
Jennings which clutch them to the
underbody Of the car. They fall
through the opening into frame
work, travelling on a railway in the
pit, and are guided down to the floor
of the crane. This powerful machine
also carries a freshly charged bat
terry, and when tho powerless one has
been lowered the fresh one is hoisted
into place in the same manner, an
automatic clutch holding IL in place
under the car.
The batteries are charged for one,
two or three trips. When the num-
Der of trips made by each car in the
course of n day Is considered IL is
apparent that the batteries arc re-
charged many times, even in ~
hours. Sulphuric acid and water
form the liquid proportions of these
batteries, and when they are charged
with an electric current they exhale
clouds Of vapor or fumes which are
strongly impre gnated with sulphurio
acid. IL is these fumes, the men say,
which cause their teeth to decay
rapidly, even in such a short space
Of time as three months. Save for
causing a soreness Of the skin, the
fumes apparently do them no other
harm and have no effect on their
lungs, though they cannot help but
inhale the acid-charged fumes. Sew
eral blowers bring fresh air from
the outside, but the fumes are not
entirely dispelled. On some day.
when the wind blows from such n
quarter as TO force the fumes back,
rather then draw them out, the men
nre obliged TO work with cloth over
their noses. Yet all the workers in
the pit seem satisfied, and say they
do not mind the fumes after they
have become accustomed 20 them.
Even the men who work over the
pits on the outside show decaying
teeth and say in that respect that IL
Is Just as bad to work over the pit
as il is inside IL.

SECOND DAY-wEDNEsDAY.

SECOND DAY-WEDNEsDAY.
Throughout this morning, low.
ering clouds with occasional down.
falls Of rain threatened to dampen
the carnival spirit and prevent the
flower parade this afternoon. Just
before the hour for the parade the
clouds scattered and a few shafts
Of sunshine sent the hopes OF the
carnival management and throng
OF visitors skyward, as the parade
was the principal event of the day.
The ladies who bad spent days
in decorating the vehicles decided
that their efforts should not be for
naught, or that the visitors should
be disappointed, and announced
that they would enter the parade,
which took place at $3.50 and was
by far the most attractive feature
OF the occasion.
Among those who have entered
are: Mesdames Stanfsld, Thomp.
son, Parker, Foreman, Chandler,
Day, Kornegay, Burckhalter, Joe
Green, A. N. Green and Griffith.
