TELLS OFF, ASSAULT

the skull was fractured. The wounds at first seemed to be very serious, but Merna got out of them very well. The injuries about the head would natural ly make the patient very sore. Blood was all over his face when he saw him. He was under WitnesS'S care every day for several weeks in the hos pital. He had no symptoms of concus- sion of the brain, but the wounds on his head would have deprived him of consciousness. Witness also treated Morrissette the same night. His con- dition was apparently more serious than Merna's. His face was bruised and battered out of recognition. His eyes were shut, his jaws almost set, his lips swollen and bloody; a rib was broken on the left side, one leg was bruised and that leg of his trousers torn from the knee down. His head was bruised, but the most severe in juries were on the face. Morrissette rallied after the first day in the hos pital, but for the first twenty four hours witness held serious doubts of his recovery.
 Cross examined by MT Hamilton: The average thickness of the skull of the white race at the point of injury in Merna's temple is about three eighths of an inch. Sometimes concussion and congestion results from a blow; some times one only. In this case there was localized congestion.
 The second wound on the face was on the chin. His face looked as though he had been in a prize fight. At the time of dressing~the wounds witness made 8 note of them and he was cer- tain that he had not forgotten about bhem. He denied asking Morrissette what his injuries were, but admitted that he spoke to Norrissette about the wounds because he wanted to be sure on which side they were. .r
 Before Morrissette went on the stand the question of adjournment was discussed and it was decided to adjourn until 9 80 o'clock Tuesday.

ELECTRIC CARS IN LONDON.
15,OOO Horses Displaced in Two Years
 by Adoption of Electricity.

The widespread adoption of cleo tricity by tramway companies all over the United Kingdom has during the past two years had the remarkable effect of displacing some 15,OOO horses. A proportion went to South Africa in the last stages of the war, many have been bought by carriers, and omnibus companies have taken great number, while not few are being used by cab- proprietors. Of this class of animal Technically known as ''machiners" be- cause of their all round uses) there is an increasing scarcity, and the cleo trffcation schemes are welcomed, par ticularly by farmers, who have much difficulty in obtaining good "machin- ers"
 As yet the identification of tramway systems and the growth of the motor car industry have not been left by horse breeders, three or four years gen erally elapsing before omnibus or tramWay horses are efficient for work. The requirements of London in this dirct1on increase with such rapidity that the demand is always greater than the supply.
 According to the latest board of trade return, the length of tramway line in. the United Kingdom open for traffic at the end of June, 1902, was 1 ASA miles. On S7O miles of this line the method of propulsion was electrici- ty and on 3S4 miles of line 24,12O horses were employed.
 When the great transformation of American tramways took place several years ago tens of thousands of horses were disposed of for ridiculous sums. Many brought only $25 or $50 and even at that figure were sometimes sold with difficulty. There are now 1902 miles of electric tramways authorized or under construction in the kingdom, but as most of them are entirely new and not transformation a glut of horses in the market is not likely to occur on anything like the scale that obtained in the United States.
 Eight hundred horses, the last link with Manchester's horse tramway cars, are this week being sold by auction Less than two years ago there were 5000 such horses in the city, but they have been displaced by electricity. Dealers from Ireland, Scotland and the south of England competed at the first days sale. Fifty-six horses in Ches- ter, displaced for the same reason, have been sold by the corporation for an average price of 800 apiece-London Mail!

The Twenty-second Edition of aThe
Everlasting Devils Auction"

Manager Charles II. Yale has, through
his European agents, secured for the
twenty edition of "The Eyerlast-
ing Devils Auction" which appears at
the Grand Thursday, November IL, two
notable speciality features which are ex-
pected to exceed by far any novelty acts
previously imported by Mr.. Yale for his
various attractions.
The first of these exclusive importa-
tions are the -Four Salamonskys-Rus-
sion grotesques-who combine with the
most daring and skillful gymnastic feats,

that the French walters can inject into
the reception of presumably well-paying
patrons. A number of most laughable
incidents occur. Then the attendants
commence manipulating the various ar
ticles upon the supper table. Eventually
the patrons join in and everything in the
entire cafe-cairs, crockery, bric-a.brac,
pictures, food, napkins, table cloths,
knives and forks and even the gigantic
supper table itself, have been hurled into
the air and made to perform feats while
en- route. The finale of this marvellous
performance is simply indeseribable.

moral battle which he is fighting with

of convenience, and on the other his
plighted word, given to his boyhood love
whom he had long since promised to
marry, and whom his brother and his I'M.
Gle, the parish priest, expected him to
marry. For a time, although feeling
that he is doing a dishonorable act by
deserving his sweetheart, he quiets the
voice of conscience with voice of ambi.

love and fidelity triumph, and the cur
tain falls upon the last scene of all with
a general reconciliation and content.
A strong proof of the merit of the
play itself, and of its heart interest,
is that laughter and tears are so no.

is all of the purest, most innocent and
guileless type, and the pathos is true,
natural and spontaneous.
