Jones cams out. When asked for his
ticket, the accused said, "How many
tickets do you want" and further
stated that he got on at
Newark and his ticket had been taken.
The conductor denied this and the accused
called him liar. The conductor then
slapped his face and Jones drew revolver,
cooked it, leveled 1t at the conductor and
said with an oath, "I'll fix you now"
John Cline of Baltimore, who was a
passenger on the train, covered Jones
with a revolver and cried, "Drop that,
don't you shoot"
James Morrison, brakeman, came up
behind the accused at the same time and
wrested from him the revolver, which
carried 3S calibre ball.

the Blaine delegates from Missouri and Mich
igan upon the advisabillty Of bringing out
Senator Sherman as a candidate as the only
solution Of the present situation in
the convention, it WAS urged that
General Sherman would not permit the use
OF his name or accept the nomination under
any circumstances. In obedience to the
wishes of majority of these delegates, John
B. Henderson sent an earnest telegram to
General Sherman uIging him to accept, and
requesting him to send them an answer this
morning.
CONSIDERS BLAINE BEATEN.
Mr.. Horace White Of New York stated this
morning that in his opinion Blaine WAS
already beaten, and could never get as many
votes in the convention as Powell Clayton.
The committee on credentials settled the
contests in the first Alabama district by
deciding to seat the two delegates now on the
roll, James E. Slaughter and Frank Threat.
The vote on the proposition to seat the above
named delegates was 29 to Is.
DARK HORSE.
The general impression this morning is that
the chances Of nomination of a man not here
tofore prominently mentioned have been in
creased. The names most freely mentioned
are the two Shermans and Gresham. General
Sherman's reply to ex-senator Henderson is
understood to be peremptory refusal to
allow the use of his name In case Of
break in the Blame column, it is understood
Nebraska will go to Senator Sherman The
eastern delegates are determined to adhere
to Edmunds and as they are divided in opinion
it is likely their strength will be divided
between sherman, Gresham and Hawley for
some time. These managers regard the dead
point of danger for them to be drift from
Blaine to Arthur. II this can be prevented,
they hope for favorable result.
THE '.TRfBUNE's" pALAvER.
The Tribune this morning bristles all over
with bright articles for Blaine and claims that
there is no cause for encouragement on ac-
count OF the Powell Clayton incident,
which is not regarded az a real
test 1t compliments Lynch aid the
southern colored delegates and boldly
attacks George William Curtis, Roosevelt,
Lodge and others whom it styles political
dudes 1t says the resolution introduced by
Mr.. Pearce to decrease the representation
from the south hereafter, is an ungracious
return for the help received yesterday from
the south.
GEN. sHERMAN's ATTITUDE.
CHICAGO, June 4-General Sherman has
telegraphed ex Senator Henderson saying he
would not accept the nomination If offered
or serve il elected.

WHAT THE CANDIDATES ARE DOING.
WASHINGTON June 4-Senator Edmurds
left Washington this morning to be absent
until Friday evening. He has gone, it is
understood, to Farquhar county, Vir
gina, on private business. Senators
Sherman and Hawley are spending the day In
their respective committee rooms debating
letters to their amanuenses, and attending
to their usual senatorial and
personal business. Senator Allison is at

Special Dispatch to Gazette and journal.
CHICAGO, June 4.-The situation this
morning is but little changed, although some
of the more aggressive Blaine men claim to
have gained considerable strength during the
night. The opponents Of Blaine regard the
election of Chairman Lynch as a great vic
tory but the followers Of the Maine states
man are still able to extract considerable con-
ISOLATION from the 1856 votes polled by
Clayton.
conservative estimate by Delaware dele
gates made up on the basis Of yesterday 3
vote. gives Blaine 971 votes on the first ballot.
They predict that he will then gather in
enough additional votes to nominate him on
the second ballot.
George V. Massey is especially hopeful,
saying "Blaine's showing is surprise to his
friends"
The only thing that can defeat Blaine is a
combination and this ia being founded, as was
indicated in the committee on permanent Or
ganization last night by the selection of ex-
Senator j. B. Henderson of Missouri, for per-
manent chairman Of the convention. Hem
derson is claimed as an Arthur man, but he
stands for the anti-Blaine element generally.
Whether the inchoate combination can be
made powerful enough to overcome Blaines
strength remains to be seen.
In yesterdays balloting the Delawar cans
voted for Clayton, with the exception Of
Hastings who voted for Lynch. j. b. O.
