PoUGHKEEPsIE, n. Y, Sept. S.-A des-
perate attempt was made tonight to
wreck the fast St. Louis and Chicago
express, which leaves New York on the
New York Central at p. m. The train
was stopped by danger signal south of
Old Troy, 600 yards south of the New
Hamburg drawbridge. Two minutes
previous the fireman had discovered sew
eral ties standing endways in a culvert,
near old Troy; when he took hold of one
OF them to remove it, he was fired upon
from the bushes on the east side of The
track. Knowing the fast express was
nearly due, he ran southwark and set a
danger signal which stopped the train.
The flagman said ties stuck up above the
rails and would certainly have thrown
the train from the track. The
fast train was composed of seven or
eight sleeping cars all full, two ordinary
coaches and baggage car. There were
eight ties up on the main track. There
were also two ties placed alongside the
rail toward the south, so as to ditch the
train. The train passed here half an
hour later.

The Celebration ofAdmission Day Auspi-

The Celebration ofAdmission Day Auspi-
ciously Begun.
SAN Francisco, Sept. S.-F'inal prepa-
ratons have been made for the celebra-
ton of the fortieth anniversary of the
admission of the state of California
tomorrow. All day long the crowds on
the streets had been increasing, and
every incoming train has brought hun
dreds OF Native Sons and Daughters,
pioneers and other visitors from every
section OF state. Delegations headed by
bands Of music have been parading the
streets from the ferries to their
quarters, and every indication
is given that tomorrow's celebration will
be one of the most successful ever seen
in this part Of the country. Flags and
bunting of every description are all over
the city, and in the business portion are
the most elaborate decorations ever at
tempted here. Bronze and stuffed griz-
zly bears are to be seen everywhere, and
along the route of to-morrow's process
sion are scores of large paintings illus
trating scenes and incidents connected
with the early history of California.
Next to the thousands of American flags
which float in all parts of the
city, one of the most conspicuous
decorations is the old bear flag of Cali
fornia republic. Pioneer hall, Mechan-
les pavilion, the Grand opera house and
other places where the Native Sons and
Daughters will meet, as well as head
quarters of the general committee of ar
rangements at the Baldwin hotel, have
been most elaborately decorated. 1t is
difficult to estimate the number of visi-
tors in the city tonight, but it is gener-
ally believed that the number is not far
short of 100000.
Mechanics pavilion, which has been
fitted up with reception booths by the
various parlors, was opened to-day and
great crowds of people have filled the
building. Tonight a series Of tableaux
illustrating scenes in the history of Cali
fornia, and the general progress and de-
velopment of the state, were given at
the pavilion under the auspices of the
Native Daughters. Musical selections
were also rendered bya band of sixty
pieces. The attendance was very large.
The regatta today also attracted great
numbers of spectators.
The parade tomorrow morning, which
will be the principal feature of the cele-
bration, will consist oftwenty-one divis
ions. The military portion of it will
comprise twelve companies of regular
troops and all four regiments of the
second brigade of the California
National Guard, besides a dozen
or more local independent COM
panies. The principal floats, which
are of the most interesting
and appropriate designs, will be the
second division of the procession. The
local and visiting Native Sons, COM
prising about $50 parlors, will form nine
entire divisions. A great number ot
secret, social and benevolent orders and
several industrial organizations will
also take part in the procession.

LOCOMOTIVES FIREMEN.
They Will March in the Procession With
the Native Sons.

SAN Francisco, Sept. S.-The biennial
convention of the Brotherhood of Loco
motive Firemen met in this city today.
The morning session was very brief, and
an adjournment was taken until this
afternoon, when public reception was
given the visiting fremen by the local
members of the brotherhood. Addresses
of welcome were made by Governor
Waterman, Mayor Pond and M. A.
Dorm, the latter on behalf of the Native
Sons of the Golden West, who are now
conducting a celebration of Admission
day in this city. Grand Master Frank
p. Sargent responded. In his address
he gave review of the work
of the brotherhood, and said the
order did not advocate strikes, and had
always endeavored to avoid them, but
when the occasion demanded, the
brotherhood would WELD the weapon
which organized labor had provided for
it's membership. The visiting firemen
will take part in the Admission day
parade tomorrow.

Where Women Do the WOoing.

Ukraine. Russia, is the real paradise
for the spinster, says the Detroit Free
Press. And if in this country proto-
type of the Russian province could be
founded it would be populated in less
time than one imagines. In Ukraine
think of it, ye spinsters and celibates
all the counting is done by the wo-
men. The man has nothing to do with
the affair. Like Mariana in the moated
grange. he merely sits and waits.
If the young lady feels stealing DER
her fancy for Il particular young
man, she does not pine away in "a
green and yellow melancholy" But
she buckles on the armor of her affec-
tons and sallies out like a conquering
hero. To drop SMILES and come down
to matter-of-fact language, the young
woman, when she falls in love with
some young man, without delay dis
closes to him the true condition OF her
feelings. Does he love her? Then the
marriage ceremony is arranged with
out delay. Does he not love her? Then
the loye-sick damsel plants herself in
his residence and announces that she
will stay there until revolution shall
come in his feelings. The young man
is helpless, because the friends of the
young woman will avenge any affront
that the young man shall offer to her.
But he is not compelled by either
law or custom to endure her presence
for ever When he becomes tired of
the attentions of the lovelorn lass he
can pick up his lares and penates and
move out When the affair reaches
| this climax it is equivalent to an
nouncement that the young man posi-
| lively will not wed.

She retained an even disposition, and

could show; You will be making your
self ill once more" And Ruskin. quite
