A FINE IMPOSED.
Conductor Burris, ofthe j. g. o., Violates
City Ordinance.

Conductor Burris of the IL. ~ o., Violates
City Ordinance.
Friday night Mayor McSherry fined
Henry j. Burris five dollars for OBJ
structing a street crossing in the vi
entity of the Hannisville Distillery.
Mr.. Burris is conductor on the Bal
timore q Ohio railway and Mr.. Nathan
Thompson complained that he had on
November 18th permitted three freight
cars to stand upon the crossing for q
considerable time and thus prevented
him from crossing the track with his
team and wagon. Conductor Burris
admitted that he had been switching
cars and making up a train and had
cut loose from three cars for five or
six minutes at the longest.
Mayor McSherry said that if that
was the case he would have TO impose
a fine of five dollars, which was the
lowest possible under the ordinance.
He thought that the B. & 0. Company
ought to pay it though as there were
times when it was almost impossible
for the men to avoid violating the or
dinance. Conductor Burris pulled a
fifty dollar bill from his inside pocket
and paid the fine.

The Hands OfThe Grew.

Attempt to Take a b. o. Train Ont Of
The Hands OfThe Crew.
Officer Weddell who returned from
Wheeling yesterday, having in his Gus
tody Colonel Isaiah Porter, partis ipa-
ted in a very exciting experience with
rramps and desperados near Clarks-
burg. a gang of toughs, headed by a
desperate named Laughlin, attempted
to take the BALTIC. and Ohio passenger
train out of the hands of the crew at a
small station named Clark, on Monon-
gah River Road last night On account
of slight wreck at Benton's, on the
main line, trains were using the Monon-
gah Road from Fairmont to Clarks-
burg. The train took sideing about
10 miles out of Clarksburg to allow a
west bound passenger train to pass.
While waiting the conductor discover
ed several tramps on the platform of
the baggage car next to the tender.
They were ordered off, but did not
leave the platform without using some
very abusive language. Soon after
ward number Of other tramps gather
ed about and made threats towards
the trainmen. Before the west bound
train had passed and as the east
bound passenger was pulling out
from the siding the tramps got on the
train. When the train was well under
way they began insulting the passen-
gers and making themselves generally
obnoxious. When the trainmen re-
monstrated they attacked them, and a
general fight ensued. One powerfully
large tramp backed himself up in the
corner of the car and defied anyone to
come near him, while others gath
cred on the platform cursed and
swore, declaring that they would ride
to Clarksburg or there would be
trouble. The passengers of which
there were about 20 on the train were
thrown into CONSERVATION. The con-
ductor seeing that he and his men
were about to be overpowered by the
toughs, said. as there anyone in the
car who has revolver he will let me
have"
Officer Weddell had his prisoner
handcuffed to the seat and did not
dare to leave him but he volunteered
to let the conductor have his revolver
and as he handed it to him said, "kill
the ruffans.' A number of the other
passengers came to the rescue of the
conductor about the same time and the
result was that they were crowded
from the car.
After the crowd was elected the con-
ductor fred several shots at them as
they disappeared. Mr.. Weddell even
parted with his billy and gave it to
the brakeman to defend himself against
the tramps. The train was stopped
and the trainmen with the assistance
of some of the passengers succeeded in
arresting the leader of the gang. He
is now in jail at Clarksburg.

Tho Splendid Courage displayed by Some

Tho Indians fought desperately until
they were annihilatcd, but their
bravery was no moro conspicuous than
that which was uno3tcntatiously dis

haps the most remarkable case, says
the Washington Star, was that of Pri-

to Private Girbach: I'm gone, sure;

County Official Paper:
"oUH o. EAN FLA" BUSINESS.

One OF our contemporari les is in
dulging in n rhap sody upon the
imagined results Of the Republican
Billion . Dollar Congress subsidy
scheme-to wit, tho restoring of the
American flag to the ocean. At tho
same momeut another newspaper. in
this city calls attention to the effect
of Il singular .rulinglthat has just
emanated from the Republican Treas
ury Department.
The department., in the case: of w )
X. Vanderbilt's new steam yacht,
Conquerer, rules that, ds this is IN
'undocumgnted" foreign.built vessel,
owned by. an American, u TAX for
what is known as slight money" must
be levied on her at every port where
the yacht may. touch, provided Fshe
has come from another port.
This raised the question whether
the vessels of some Of our big steam
ship lines, like the Innan and the
Red Star, u majority of whose stock
is owned, by Americans, ought not
under the sarue ruling to- pay the
"light-money" tax. The answer was,
No, as they are registered under the
laws Of Great Britain. Ouly FUN
documented" or "dengtionalized"
foreign built vessels owned by Ameri-
cans, must pay this tax.
Special Deputy Naval Officer Gour!
ley, and Deputy Collector Couch,
were then asked whether, if Mr..
Vanderbilt should get his yacht regis
tered in Great Britain, he would be
exempt. from the proposed tax. The
answer was that such exemption
would follow, provided he joined a
foreign yacht club.
American owners Of foreign built
yachts who wish to free them from
paying a heavy tax whenever they go
from one district to another have only
TO register their vessels in Great
Britain and to fly the British flag!
This is the way the American flag
is being" restored" to the ocean by
the party whose vicious navigation
laws, on line with its prohibitive
tariff policy, have for moro than Il
generation closed almost every Ameri
can ship yard. IN. Y. Telegram.
