left here last night for Kansas City, ran
off the track between Kane and Berdan

threw the sleeper from the track. This
ditched all the other cars. the engine alone

man, sleeping car conductor, and num-
Der of passengers were hurt, but none
seriously. Two coaches were burned and
the whole train badly wrecked. The fact

BANGOR, Me-. 25.-Excitement was
caused here to-day by reports of the
intended removal OF arms and ammunition
from the state arsenal to the depot fer
transportation to Augusta. A bout 5 o. %.
two truck teams loaded with arms and am
munition were stopped on the keanduske-
age bridge By a crowd which rapidly in
creased, so that the streets were filled
with people declaring that the arms should
never be carried out OF the city, Mayor
Brown demanded Of the teamsters the
orders upder which he was acting. No
satisfactory answer was given, at first, the
men saying that Thaycr, landlord of the
Penobscot Exchange, had sent word for
teams 10 take arms. 4 young man Bamed
French then pushed into the throng and
said he was clerk in the Adjutant GeDer
ais Office aud was moving the arms TO
Augusta under orders from the Governor.
The excitement ofthe populace was greatly
Increased by this statement, aud the crowd
attempted TO uBharness the horses. The
mayor told French be had not force enough
to guarantee the.saEety o. The munitions If
the attempt to remove them was persisted
in, while the people were excited. He said
he would take 10 responsibility ct the
trouble that might eBsue. French decided
1t best to return the arms to the arsenal,
rather than incur the baZlrd of riot, and
the mayor furnished police to project
them on their return.
Public excitement was Increased b.

him to change his oruers for tbeir return
to the arsenal. French, however, was
unwilling to assume the responsibility OF a

"The Devil 1.Reproving sin, "

/ WASHINGTON, Dec. 24.-Congressman an
Williams, of Wisconsin,, was talking with
| President Hayes yesterday about the
the Maine election outrage. and the Presi-
dent described the scene in the: Ohio Leg
islature in l849, when Speaker Randall. a
mutual acquaintance, amid the bowling of
mob, declared Gov Ford duly elected.
Mr.. Williams then remarked that 1873
electoral votes 10 the South. swhere !poDu-
lar elections were virtually ignored, was
not pleasant thing to think of, and asked
the President if he did not feel that the
talk now sbecoming so common Of Demo-.
Gratis in Legislatures grabbing the electoral
votes of the States was frought with danger
The President replied quickly, and with
EN- Dhasis. But they are not going to crab
them; this Maine business is not going TO
succeed, and then the President added.
that if he were one of the Republican
members of the Legislature he would
there until September. and by every de-
vice known to parliamentary law for the
protection of minorltes, all other business
should be suspended until the wrong was
rlghted. He would not resort to force.
but he would endeaVor to bring to bear
upon those gentlemen such weight ofl
public opinion that they could not escape
or resist it, 1t counted ont by technacaities |
they should be thwartcd in their revolu-
tionary purposes until they were made to |
feel that the will of the majority, when
properly and legally expressed, must con-
troll. He expressed the opinion that the |
good people of all parties. when the facts |
became known, would emphatically de. |
nounce the outrage.
There is a good deal of comment and |
quiet figure work here as to the prob
able status of the senate in 1881. If
New York, New Jersey, Connecticut
and Indiana elect Republican Senators
aud Gen. Malone goes with the Repub-
hcan, or Grant party, as she calls it, the
