StOning a Train.

The Passengers aboard the 445 pm
train on the Washington and Ohio railroad
were greatly shocked yesterday as the train
was nearing West End station. 1t appears that
young man, accompanied by his mother, was
sitting near the window of the car. Suddenly
the young man threw up his hands and uttered
groan, which attracted the attention Of the
passengers in the car in which he was seated
Upon examining the young man it was dis
covered that some unknown person had thrown
a big stone at the moving train. The stone
struck the young man in the head just above
the temple, inflictIng an ugly wound, from
which the blood oozed rapidly. The train Was
stopped for fifteen minutes and a physician
aboard the train dressed the wound. party
gave chase to a number of men they thought
were the guilty persons, but were unable to
catch them.

MIR. BLAINE FOR PEACE.
The Secretary Said to be Taking Hand
in Central American Troubles.

There is a growing belief here that the State
Department has been regularly playing pos
sum" in its dealings with the public in regard
to the Guatemalan troubles. 1t now appears
that Minister Mizner has been heard from, not
once, but a great many times: that he is at
La Libertad, Mexico, and that he and the de-
partment in Washington are in constant COM
munication- Although Mr.. Blaine is at present
In Bar Harbor he is in correspondence by mail
and by wire with his assistant here, Mr.. Whar-
ton, and there is little doubt that he is now en-
gagged in an endeavor to patch up the squabbIe
between Guatemala and Salvador.
1t can be stated that there is now in process
Of evolution diplomatic solution of the diff
Guilty between the two Central American re-
publics through the medium OF Mr.. Blaine and
Mr. Miner. Negotiations are in progress that
might, it is said at the department, be totally
frustrated by the present publication of the
dispatches to and from the minister at La
Libortad.

DEMOCRATIC TACTICS.
A Movement In the House Today
Which is Hard to Understand.

The democrats started out this morning with
the idea that there was not q quorum
in the House. call Of the House was
ordered and the presence of ia members
was disclosed. A motion was then made
to dispense with the CALL quorum
being present. The democrats we're not con-
tent, however, TO let the business go on and
yeas and nays were demanded on dispensing
with the call of the House.
Nobody seems to comprehend the reason for
the policy being followed by the democrats in
the House. They have settled down of late to
a determined system of obstruction.
There are a great many measures on the
calendar awaiting action which are in no sense
partisan in their character, and the House
might dispose Of those to which there is no
particular objection while the Senate is en-
gagged in the tariff discussion.
There does not seem to be anything for the
minority to gain by the course they are follow
ing, and none of them seem to be able to ex-
plain their object except upon the grounds Of
Immature.

HOW THE SENATOR WAS PoLLEp.
Since Senator Reagan Othen a member Of the
House of Representative came up from the
bath room wrapped in towel
or two to vote on q bill in which
he was interested there has been no similar oc-
currence until today, when Senator Edmunds
entered the Senate chamber and answered a
roll call The popularity in Mr.. Edmunds
appearance WAS due to the fact that
his hair was about half cut; that is, it was cut
on one side of his head. When he had been
recorded as present he returned to the barber
shop and had the job finished.

to the inefficiency of the enumeratora

THE SCENE AT BUFFALO.
The New York Central Men Went Out
There Also.

Buffalo, ny, August 9.-The Central strike
reached Buffalo this morning. At an early
hour the cabalistio emblems Of the knights of
Labor, presumably ordering a suspension Of
labor, were chalked outside the Central depot
and another set Of emblems adorned a spot in
side the train house. As soon as they were
discovered employees Of the road wiped
purpose and about 200 switchmen and
brskemen quit work. At 8 o'clock
the big, smoky, barn-like train house was full
OF trains while beside them stood q small army
Of idle men, and Notwithstanding the hopeful
statements Of the railroad officials everything
denoted strike. No trains came in from the
east this morning and none left here after the
strike was on. AZ 8 O'Clock q Michigan Cen
trail train Of thirteen cars. said to be loaded
with excursionists from the west, was stopped
the train house. The last Belt Line
train to get in was at 7:s5 o'clock
The next one, due at o'clock, was blocked at
Chicago street, several blocks from the depot
and the passengers walked into the city. The
depot at that time was filled with engines, and
At 10 o'clock the depot was full of delayed
and discontinued travellers. The O'Clock
train to Niagara Falls, full Of
veterans and sxcursionists. managed to get
away at $50. The New York limited also left
but it was delayed ct East Buffalo. The Michi-
fore IL o'clock and belt line train left about
the same time.
Superintendent Burrows IL disposed to treat
the strike at this end lightly. He said he saw
no general signs Of disaffection here and
thought the thing would be promptly squelched
Vice President Webb wired from New York
that the situation there is improving and trains
are moving on several of the Vanderbilt lines
out Of New York and trains for the west are
making up. The West Shore train due out Of
the Central depot here at 10 am, rolled in from
the falls to make up at 10:40, butmay not do so.
There is load of passengers for here.
THEY WENT OUT AT UTICA.
UT1cA N. Y, August every knight Of
Labor working for the New York Central and
Hudson River railroad in this city or the towns
both east and west for fifty miles have quit
work In this city the force out may number
forty. 1t is composed Of switchmen baggage
men, gate tenders at street crossings
freight handlers, car inspectors. oilers and
men occupying positions of like
nature. One or two passenger trains
have been run. and no freights have gone
through here since last night. The railroad
authorities have had many applications from
men desiring to go to work. Their names and
addresses were taken, and it is thought when
the company is ready to run its trains the
places of the strikers here can be filled in two
hours. There is no trouble on the West Shore,
or rumor Of any.
