Attempt to Wreck a Train.

Several nights ago, some miscreant
attempted to wreck a train on the
p, w. & B. r. R., by placing a large
white oak sleeper in the cattle guard
at the Blue Ball crossing, short
distance below Elkton. The Balti-
more train arriving in this city at
9:36 O'Clock struck the obstruction,
but fortunately the villains work
was so bungiingly performed that
the concussion threw the tie out of
the hole, and carried it forward some
distance, when it fell between the
tracks and the train passed safely
over it. This Blue Ball crossing is
getting to be notorious place, as
several unsuccessful train-wrecking
attempts have been made there in
the past.

PROGRESSIVE FRIENDS.

The twenty eighth annual session of
the progressive Friends, convened at
Longwood, Delaware county, Pa, on
Thursday last. The attendance dur
ing the morning session was not very
large but was increased at the after
noon session.
The meeting was called to order at
1890 o'clock 10y Charles ID. b. Mills,
of New York. After congratulating
those present upon the circumstances
under which they had assembled, he
read the "call'' for The meeting. At
the conclusion of reading the call he
said "Over twenty-seven years ago a
circle of Friends, not large in number,
feeling that they should stand as true
proteslants, assembled and joined their
hands for the suppression of predomi-
naut evils and the acquisition and diff
fusion of the truth. They fought with
equal effect and energy as those of
other sects, yet wider field has con-
stantly opened before them There Is
very much that lies YET to be accom-
plished there are questions that ap-
pertain to the welfare of the human
race new paths are constantly being
opened. II understand the object of
this meeting it is called in the interest
Of the truth. While at this hour there
are gathered thousands of men at Chi
cagO, whose interest in the National
Convention are influenced more or less
by personal feeling, trust that not a
man or woman has come to this meet
ing with any personal feeling. We are
here for an earnest purpose, and |
hope that we are here with spirit OF
unity. Let those days be marked as
ones worthy of being recorded in our
calendars"
The remainder of the morning was
spent in appointing committees and
addresses by number of those pres
ent. At the afternoon session Patience
Kent and Chas. d. b. Mills were elect
ed clerks. The report of the Treasurer
was also read, and memorial on John
Cox. Several addresses were also de
livered, and questions were presented
for discussion.
The session was continued yester
day, and there was an increased at

BAD BLOOD-HOT WORDS.
A FIERCE CONTEST PROBA-
BILE TODAY.
Editorial Despatch to The Press.

CHICAGO. June 4-Midnight.--
The evening session, brilliant and
glittering under the gaslight, was
distinguished by great triumph of
Republican principle and thrilling
demonstration of Republican pre-
ference. The first came III the vote
on the Alabama contest. This case
turned wholly on the right of dis
trict representation regardless of
State instructions or usurpation, and
the convention affirmed that right
by the overwhelming and decisive
vote of 449 to BOG. That vote was
the highest vindication and victory
of Kepublicanism. 1t sounded the
downfall of central and personal
dictation, and established the prin-
ciple of district and popular rule
1t takes power from the bosses and
transfers it to the people. 1t gives
renewed life and vigor to the Re-
publican party and imbues its organ
ization with the popular spirit. 1t
overthrows the unit rule, frees the
party from thraldom, counts the in
dividual vote and brings representa-
ton directly home to the people,
Such triumph deserved to be greet
ed, as it was. with the heartiest
cheers throughout the great hail.
But the grand scene of the evening
was when a delegate from Califor-
MIA in the course of a speech refer
red to the unanimitv of his State for
Mr.. Blaine. AT the mention of this
name the vast audience broke forth
in one spontaneous, overwhelming,
prolonged burst of enthusiastic ac-
claim. The immense throng rose to
it's feet the men cheered and threw
their hats in the air; the ladies wav.
ed their hankerchiefs, and from
thousands of throats rang out
the widest cheers. The demon.
stration lasted for many minutes
and there has been no other
such significant scene since
the opening of the convention
1t was an unmistakable proof o
Blaine's preeminent place, both il

AT THE meeting of the American
Society of Civil Engineers, held in
st. Louis, May 25, several very in
teresting papers were read, from
among which synOpses of the follow
ing are taken:
SHIP-B UILDING.
The cause of decay of the maritime
trade of this country is owing to the
unequal competition with England
in ship-building and the superiority
of iron over wooden vessels. The
change began to take place in 1857
and Notwithstanding that Robert
Fulton, an American, first applied
steam to navigation, and Savannah,
an American steamer, was the first
to cross the ocean, our vessels, for
the reasons stated, gradually disap-
peared from the sea. The cost of
construction in this country is much
less than it was ten years ago, and
there is certainly a great field open
for marine engineers. By use OF
machinery they can overcome the
difference in cost of construction
and in time we can assume our
proper place on the ocean.
wATER-wORKS.
The system of supplying water to
towns by means of water reservoirs
was inaugurated by Hans Anderson
at Bethlehem, Pa, the water being
conveyed to n wooden reservoir
through hemlock logs. The idea
was followed at Morristown. The
subject of application of steam tc
water-works as first made on the
Schuylkill River, at Philadelphia
was then treated also the improve
ments made in pumping machines
engineers having made a gain in this
respect of SO per cent. over what
was accomplished twenty years ago
Mr.. Chesbrough, in laying his tuhne
two miles under Lake Michigan fol
supplying Chicago with water, hat
accomplished a great engineering
triumph. At present 500 towns il
the United States and Canada were
supplied with water reservoirs, em
ploying 5000 miles of pipe, 10000
of which is of cast-iron. A com
parison was made between the primi
tive means of water supply and TIE
present convenient means which
supplies every portion of the house
hold with hot and cold water.

me of an incident of 1850, when the
