CHASE ENDS UNDER CAR.
Policeman After Fighting Youths Es-
capes Death Through His Helmet.

New York, July 6.--While attempt
ing to arrest two young men who
were fighting in the street last night
at Amsterdam avenue and 1929 street,
Policeman Brophy of the West 125th
street station was struck by a north
bound electric chr of the Amsterdam
avenue line, and was saved from be-
Ing killed by his helmet He SUFFERED
and Commissions of the upper part of
the body He was removed to the J.
Hood Wright hospital and will nave
to go on the sick list for several days.
Brophy was at 121st street and
Amsterdam avenue when a woman
came up to him and demanded that
he arrest Charles Barnett of 49T
West 124th street and Harry Doyle
address not given, for fighting. The
policeman started after the young
men, but when they saw him coming
they jumped on the running board OF
south bound Amsterdam avenue car
Brophy was right after them, and
when they saw him Jump on the cal
they got off and ran across the ave
nue..
The policeman gave chase. He die
not see north-bound car approach

BENEDICTS GOT DAMAGES
other People on Luke strset Paid
for Benefits.

The contention that the heirs OF the
Benedict estate threw OUT as much
of Luke street as was included In
their property for "a public street,
thereby conveying the idea that the
public came by 1T gratis has special
interest for those who owned lots on
the street at the time and were made
to come down handsomely for the
work. The street was laid out in
1893 and benefits awarded by the
board of compensation as follows:
Michael Coyle, $277 20: Annie Davis,
$112.5O; Margaret Keefe, $245. 10;
Luke O'Reilly, $37S; Patrick F. O'Reil-
ly, $185; Mrs Coyle, $1S9.S0. The
above bills have been paid with the
exception of few dollars and one
charge which is marked ''uncollect-
able" The damages awarded were
as follows: Benedict estate, 5000;
George s. Benedict, $3.50. The total
benefits amounted to $1,287 and the
damages footed up ST. $50. 1t was a
mystery to everybody at the time and
it is so still to property owners on the
upper end of the street why all the
benefits should have been assessed
against them. The street enhanced
the market value of the Benedict land
just as much as it did that of those
who were assessed, but the Benedicts
while sharing in the benefits met none
of the costs. But that was long ago
| and probably the matter never would
have been dragged into daylight had i
not been for the claim for sewer ex
emption on Baldwin street opposite
what is now Luke street on the ground
that the original lana was given tx
the city for nothing OF course thu
claim is an oversight. If the heirs OF
Charles Benedict had disposed Of al
the rest Of their property in that par
of the town at THE same price they
received for that strip they would be
considerably weather than they are

distress, and came tearing down the
hillside, the snow flying behind her.
Heaven help the person who had med
died with her calf then! She would
have made 1t hot for him. It was both
amusing and touching to see the two
together. The mother caressed the calf
as if to comfort 1t, shifted it all over
to see If it was still whole, gave it a
push now and again, and then started
gently up the drift, but not the way the
calf had gone in following the herd.
She carefully chose an easier and less
steep way.
When she had got it across the drift
she ran few steps forward, not very
fast, but too quickly at any rate for
the calf to follow her. Then she turn
ed back, and pushed it from behind
with her muzzle so that it went a little
faster. Again she ran a few Yards
forward, but still the poor little thing
could not keep up with her, and she
returned to her old pushing methods.
So they went on all the way I'D until
they reached the herd Then she took
her place in it, the calf crept under
her, and was entirely hidden from
sight by her long hair.

Polar oxen are not very difficult to

DIV the arctic explorer. In pursuing
A small herd, Otto Sverdrup, author Of
New Land. Four Years in the Arctic
Regions" noticed the following evil
ience of maternal affection in a cow
for its calf:
AS the herd started I noticed that
Dne of them had a newly born calf.
The herd went up a steep snow drlft,
eight or ten feet in height anQ the
raIf made a brave attempt to follow,
but when it had almost reached the
ION lost it's footing and rolled down to
the bottom again. 1t fell SO badly and
helplessly that thought 1t was killed,
but to my surprise it rose to its feet
and began to scramble up once more.
It's second attempt TO scale the drift
vas no more successful than the first,
and again it came rolling down. 1t
cried piteously. l felt SO sorry for 1t
that / was just starting to help 1t up
The drift when suddenly 1t occurred to
me that the old COW might misinter-
Dret my motives, and what then? /
might risk battle with her, and 1t
would be pity to have to shoot her
IN self-defense. / decided to remain

the vehicle off the track, the power in
this case coming from a storage bat
terry This vehicle is designed mostly
for passenger traffic, but can also be
utilized to deliver baggage and other
freight, such as packages from depart
ment stores to places remote from the
tracks Of the trolley system. The cleo
trio power in the storage battery which
is used when the vehicle is off the troll
ley tracks is charged into the battery
again as soon as the vehicle returns
to the tracks The idea Of the in
ventor is to provide series Of vehicles
which can operate in addition to the
regular trolleys, and, although nor
mally occupying the same tracks as
tive power from the same supply sys-
tenn, can be capable Of more rapid
progress. This peculiar vehicle could
be devoted to the use of passengers
paying a higher rate than that re-
CURED for the ordinary trolley service,
on account Of the more rapid and d.
rect service, due to their capacity to
leave the tracks and utilize railways
which otherwise are not in communica-
ton with each other and to proceed
beyond the limits of the tracks.

MENACE THE SULTAN.
French Government Is Not Disposed to
Allow Interruption of Pro-
gramme.

Paris, Dec 23.-The foreign office con-
siders the situation in Morocco extreme
ly grave The Sultan's dismissal of his
French and other military advisers, has
been followed by number of other acts,
showing his intention to interrupt the
execution Of the French policy.
The French minister at Tangier has
been instructed to secure the immediate
withdrawal from the Moroccan capital
of the French consul, the commander and
all the members of the military mission,
and all French citizens unless the Sui
tan vacates his previous offensive action
and offers a suitable explanation.
The French minister has been in
structed to communicate this to the Sui
tan, at the same time he notified the
consul, military men and citizens to pre-
pare to depart. The officials here say
that no definite military or naval steps
have yet been taken, as these await the
Sultan's response to the minister's de-
mand, but q demonstration in force will
follow, if a suitable explanation and repa-
ration are not promptly given.

runner alta hment for bicycles, design
ed so as to transform an ordinary BIZ
cycle into one that can be run on Ice
or snow. It can be attached to any
of the bicycle frames in common use
and is adjustable to any size machine.
The forward wheel and tire are dis
placed by a runner similar to q sled
runner, while the rear portion also has
a double runner. Fastened to the back
wheel is a tire having spaced spurs at
suitable intervals to engage the snow
or ice, the tire being infiatable as in
the ordinary bicycle. The spurs are
alternately acute and obtuse in form,
or each alternate spur being relatively
sharp and dull. The sharper spurs will
penetrate the snCw or ice more readily
and insure the requisite grip, while
the duller spurs will prevent slipping.
With bicycle thus equipped rider
can tray ] over well-beaten snow-cov-
cred roads with great speed and ease,

ing from any Irregularities in the sur

JURY FAILS To AGREE.
Does Not Reach a Verdict in
Nan Patterson Case.
JURY WAS OUT "a HOURS.
District Attorney Jerome May Decide
to Drop the Celebrated Muir
der Case.

New York, Dec. 23.-Fainting in her
fathers arms, her frame quivering with
the accumulated suffering Of months OF
anxious waiting, Nan Patterson today
heard the announcement that the jury
men trying her for the murder Of Caesar
Young had disagreed. Soon she was re-
vived and sobbing Historically and hardly
able to walk, was half led, half carried
back to her cell in the Tombs
Her vision of a Christmas at home, sc
bright the past few days, was gone before
the uncertainty as to what the next step
in her case will be. Before her trial be-
gan the district attorney offered to accept
bail in $4,000, but this could not be
raised and the prosecuting officers de-
cllned to indicate today what their attl
tude on this point will be.
District Attorney Jerome said he had
nothing whatever to say at present as tC
whether he would agree to a lower bal
or whether he would accept bail at all
The jury stood six for acquittal and six
for conviction, but so far as can be
learned there was no juryman in favor OF
first degree verdict.
Jury Out Twenty-four Hours.
It was twenty-four hours almost to q
minute after the jury was sent out that
word was sent to Judge Davis that ii
was ready to make its final report. The

The cut shows a vertical cross sec
ton Of cheap icehouse filed with ice.
The plan is as follows: The foundation
should be dug about two feet deep in
graveIly soil. If the soil is clay the
foundation should be dug little deep
er and then filed in with few inches
Of gravel or crushed brick. Such a
foundation will allow slight circula-
ton of air through the ice. Around
the inside Of the foundation, 6x6-inch
stills should be laid and to these
double row of studs should be nailed,
one row on the inside and one on the
outside. The boarding is then nailed
to the studs. This will make a double
wall with an air space between as in
Dictated by the letter A in the cut.
This air space will prevent the heat
from getting to the Ice. The boards on
the gable ends should be put on YER
hcally, leaving cracks between them
for the free circulation Of air above
the ice. The roof should project about
three feet and be covered with shin
giles. A portion Of the middle Of the
ridge should be cut out, leaving an
opening about six inches wide, and
over this q cap should be placed, as
shown in the cut, leaving an opening
on each side for ventilation. The ar

Killing Asparagus Seed.

A Western gardener says: One Of
the troublesome features Of asparagus
growing is the seed that annually rip
ems. Part Of this seed will drop to the
ground and become Incorporated with
the soil. Some Of this seed will then
grow, and unless great care is exer-
cised, lot Of new plants will spring
up. These seedlings soon take full pos
session and the patch becomes I'M
profitable. Some growers go through
the plantation before the seed Is quite
ripe, and even by this method some
seed will drop to the ground. Chick
ems will eat some of the seed, bat not
enough to do much good. By scatter
Ing wheat over the patch a flock will
usually make a clean job Of it. One
thing is sure, to make an asparagus
patch yield all possible profit it must
be cultivated and managed with great
intelligence

Sand Against Rats and Mice.

According to an Australian writer,
in the early days of Tasmanian the
farmers suffered greatly from the raw
ages Of rats and mice in their grain
stacks. In order to protect himself
one farmer adopted the expedient of
sanding" the stack. While building
a stack, he would throw a quantity of
dry sharp, clean sand between every
two layers of sheaves.
1t Is said that neither rats nor mice
would invade such a stack, and the
reason given by the farmer was that
''the vermin, in attempting to get into
the stack, would be driven away by
the sand falling into their eyes and
ecrs" The sand was also useful in
cleaning smutty wheat.

A New Electric Vehicle.

The increase In the number of auto
mobiles, especially in the larger cities,
is apparent to everybody, and it still
remains for the inventors to devise
more uses for electricity and to i'm
prove those now in an imperfect
state. A Philadelphia has patented
a novel electric vehicle, which cannot
be termed a trolley car, nor is it an
automobile, although the principles Of
both are utilized. It is so constructed
and the operating parts are so ar
ranged that it will run on the regular
trolley tracks, receiving the propelling
power from the overhead wire, but if
it becomes necessary or desirable to
leave the tracks to pass an obstruc-
ton Or a wagon, the operator can steer
