Too Big a Blast.

The California Southern track was
blocked for several hours on Saturday at
Victor. on the Mojave River. At that
place large quarries are in operation and
completely overhang the rails, and the
workmen while letting blast, loosened
more rock than they anticipated, and
about one hundred tons fell down upon
the track. A ''shoofy" was hastily con-
structed 30 as to enable trains to pass by,
but another stroke of ill-luck occurred,
for an engine while crossing it, over
turned an made another blockade. The
overland train due here at 9 80 Saturday
morning was delayed over ten hours,
and, in fact. all trains on the road we're
stopped for about that length of time.

INDIANA LEGISLATURE.
Protest Against the Election of Cox to Preside
Over the Senate-The Inauguration of
Gen. HOYey.

INDIANAPOLIS, IND, Jan. 14.-The
legislature convened later than usual to-
day owing to the presence of the electoral
college in the house. In the senate the
republican members, through Senator
Johnson, submitted a formal written
protest against the election of presiding
officer Cox while the lieutenant
governor was at the door !.
The protest recites the causes
leading to the election of Senator Cox as
president of the senate and gives the his
tory of the refusal of the majority to
recognize the authority of Lieutenant
Governor Robinson. during his entire
term of office, which expired to-day.
The protest was ordered spread on the
journal.
In the house the legislative appropria-
ton bill was taken up and passed. 1t
appropriates $l25 900 for salaries of
members and employees, and the expense
of maintaining the legislature. Both
branches adjourned at l o 'clock to meet
at English IS opera house at 2 p. m. to
participate in the Inauguration of Gen.
Hovey and Mr.. Chase.
At o 'clock large crowds congregated
about the English opera house to witness
the Inauguration of Governor HoYey.
Admission to the building was by licked
only. At $3.50 the members of the house
and senate marched into the
theater, escorted by band.
Just previous to the entrance
of the legislature, Gen. Harrison accom-
panied by Judge e. b. Martindale and
Mr.. Mckee quietly entered the lower
right hand box. His presence was in
stantly discovered and a ripple
of applause passed over the house.
Many in the galleries did not under
stand the applause, and after sitting a
few moments the general arose to doff
his overcoat, and the galleries caught a
glimpse of him, causing renewal of the
applause. The entrance of Governor
elect Hovey on the arm of Governor Gray
was the signal of a prolonged outburst.
