EFFORTS Or TRAIN wKECKkRs.


Dastartily Attempt to Throw an Express
From the Track Fortunately Frustrated.
A dastardly attempt was made on Monday
night to wreck the Pacific express on the West
Shore road, q little delay in starting the train
saving the passengers from what would proba-
bly, have been instant and terrible death. On
account Of the delay to the Pacific express the
Haverstraw local pulled out ahead Of it and had
reached a point q little BEYOND Little Ferry
when an explosion occurred. The train con-
sisted of IN engine and two cars and the only
damage inflicted was the breaking Of the car
windows The train was stopped and the train
hands went back and found about three feet of
track completely torn out and hole blown out
OF the earth beneath it. 1t was q wonder that
the local passed over it safely. The Pacific ex-
press. which was close behind, was tagged and
switched around the torn track and then pro-
ceeded on its way.
1t is supposed that the explosion was caused
by train wreckers who placed dynamite cart
ridge on the track and who hoped to throw the
express into the cut just ahead and rob it.
Ihe express Is always loaded with money and
vaiuables for the west and on Monday night
1t had about $3.50 on board. Had the ex-
press not been delayed it would surely have
been thrown into the cut, as all of the long line
OF cars would not have passed as safely over
the torn-out track as the shorter local did. De-
tectives are working on the case There has
been an attempt on the part of the railroad Of
hcials to hush up the matter and yesterday they
denied the truth of the story to reporter.

Call Makes . Gain-Importance of Three
Legislators.
Calls vote in the Florida democratic caucus
last night ran up to SO, seven short of his high
est ballot. This was due to the votes Of Mann
OF Baker county and Parker of De Sofa, who
had previously been supporting Bloxham
Two ballots were taken, the seventy-fourth
and seventy-ffth in the fight, resulting: Call,

special from Tallahassee to the New York
Times says: The three members of the legisla-
ture from Jefferson county are the most i'm
portant men in Florida just now. One Of
them, d. H. Mays, is running for United States
Senator in the caucus and is voting regularly
either for Bloxham or Long. The other two,
Senator Thomas and Representative Morris,
are voting for Call. But both factions are
fighting hard for these two votes, the one to
hold them, the other to get them away from
Call. The city is full of Jefferson county men,
Lobbying for one side the other, and the
deepest interest centers in the result

THE CAMPAIGN IN NEW YORK.

Omcers to Be Voted for ut the November
Election.
An Albany special says: The state campaign
this year promises to open early and to be more
exciting than any other in recent years. There
are lots Of Offices to fill, and candidates may be
expected to blossom long before the time when
they usually come to the front. Here is a list
OF the officers to be chosen next November:
governor and lieutenant governor.
A secretary Of state, controller, treasurer,
attorney general and state engineer.
An entire senate of thirty-two members.
An entire assembly of 12S members.
Ten justices of the supreme court, to serve
fourteen years each.
A Representative in Congress to succeed the
late Gen. Spinola.
-Four county judges, four surrogates, thirty
hve sheriffs, thirty-nine county clerks, eleven
district attorneys, sixteen county treasurers,
besides many minor county officers
A mayor of Brooklyn, register of Kings
county and several municipal officers in other
cities.
The leading republican papers are advocat-
ing the plan of holding an early state conyen-
ton and. beginning the fight long before the
usual time. Nothing on this subject has yet
been heard from the democrats. II the repub-
hcans adopt the idea of forcing the fight no
one interested in politics will have reason to
seek lar for entertainment.

THE wHEELMEN AND THE Law.
Bicyclists without Lamps Taken to the
Police Court.

Bicyclists without Lamps Taken to the
Police Court.
'sThe officers will arrest all bicyclers that ride
faster than law allows. See police regulations"
Such was the order sent ont from police head
quarters last evening and number Of arrests
were made in consequence.
VIM Jackson, young colored man, was one
OF the persons arrested and he was tried be-
fore Judge Kimball this morning for not having
q lamp and bell on his tricycle.. 1t was not very
dark when he was arrested and SO far as the
lamp was concerned the judge excused him OF
that part Of the charge. jackson is q cripple,
having the use of only one hand, and on that
account Lawyer Peyton asked to have his per-
sonal bonds taken. He also stated that Jack
son was a newsboy and earned his living with
the assistance of his tricycle.. Judge kimball
declined to act upon Mr.. Peyton's suggestion
and jackson had to pay fine OF 30.
Harry Higham, another defendant, forfeited
IS collateral.
Howard Mills also forfeited his collateral.
Policeman ORourke complained against
little colored boy named Willie Payne for not
having a light on his bicycle. Willie is a small
boy and is hardly large enough to ride abicycle.
When arrested he was in group Of bicycles
and all the others had lights.
Willies father promised that his boy would
not violate the law again, and the judge took
Mr.. and Mrs. Herbert 8. Owen were out
riding without lights. and they left $40 col
lateral for their appearance.
The policeman In the case did not appear in
court in time to swear to an information, and
consequently no charge filed against Mr..
Owen The case will probably be called in
court tomorrow.
warrant was issued for William E. Fletcher
for alleged failure to have light on his bicycle,
and the case will probably be tried Saturday.
WHAT THE REGULATIONS SAY.
1t is claimed that there is no law relating to
the speed Of bicycles.
The sections of the police regulations relat-
ing to bicycle riding are as follows:
All bicycles and tricycles i'll motion after
shutdown shall display a suitable light and also
have a light gong or bell so attached thereto as
to be readily sounded to warn persons of their
approach.
bicycles and tricycles shall sound light
bell or gong when necessary to warn persons OF
their approach"
The reason given by Maj. Moore for issuing
the order Is that innumerable complaints have
been made against bicyclists because of their
alleged recklessness. The particular case
complained of was that of wife of an army
officer whose dress came in contact with
bicycle and was soiled. Maj. Moore also had
some experience with fast rider of bicycle
and has reason to complain Of fast riding at the
10th street crossing of Pennsylvania avenue.

The Catholic Knights Stirred I'm


Some discussion occurred in the convention
of the Catholic Knights Of America in Phila-
delphia yesterday over an objection to the re-
port of the committee on appeals and griev-
nnces approving the action Of Supreme Presi-
dent Coleman in deciding that man who
proved himself to be practical Catholic could
be admitted a member of the order. Father
Barry OF Chattanooga, in an animated speech,
declared that the constitution of the order re-
quired that the certificate OF spiritual director
or pastor should accompany the application.
He held that in admitting the person alluded to
the organic law had been violated by the su-
preme head. He moved the appointment of q
special committee of five to consider the SUBJ
ject and report, and he also moved that there
be one priest on that committee and that it be
not appointed by the supreme president. This
motion caused a sensation in the council and an
animated discussion ensued. Father Barry's
motion was, however, finally laid on the table
and the report Of the committee on appeals and
grievances on the subject was adopted.

For over twenty years have lived in Atlanta,
Ga. returning to Washington only last fall.
That is city of some 1000 population and as
nearly every house stands by itself it covers a
good deal of ground, but notwithstanding the
area covered and the amount of space around
each house the city authorities remove twice q
week or oftener all ashes, garbage and refuse
OF every kind from all premises within the fire
limits That being the case and the south not
having much reputation for enterprise, imagine
my surprise when on my return to this city
find that | must take care of nv ashes and
slops a. long or as short q time as saw fit and
then must hunt up and hire some one to re-
move them. 1 respectfully submit that the
city authorities should not only remove them
frequently, but should not allow them TO be
accumulated. NATIVE
