ANOTHER BLAINE DOCTOR.

From the Camden Sunday Revietu.
General Harrison's most intimate
friends do not appear to bein anywise
worried over the prominence given to Mr..
Blaine's candidacy for the Presidential
nomination next year. They do not be-
lieve that Mr.. Blaine has any idea of ac-
cepting the honor, even If tShdered him
unanimously. aud that at the proper
time he will not only so declare. but
advise the denomination of his chief. In
the precarious condition of his health
Mr.. Blain would be a foolish man TO at
tempt to lead campaign such as the Re-
publican party must 80 through to win,
and he unquestionably fully appreciates
the fact.

CORY GUATEMALA.
Three Days Fighting in the Streets
Five Hundred Dead.

MEXICO, Sept. 90, 1s91.-An outbreak
occurred in Guatemala City on the 18th
inst. The people were celebrating the
National holiday, and it appears that
President Barillas had personally ap-
pointed the orators of the day.
To this the masses took exception, and
when the orators took the rostrum i5 was
a signal for storm of stones which set
them to flight. they being chased across
the big plaza by bowling mob which
shouted at the top of their voices:-
Down with the Governmentv' "Down
with despotism and tyranny; die, Baril-
lasp'
A exciting scene followed and every
known Liberal or Barillas partisan was
driven from the plaza, being soundly
stoned at every step. After that the
masses elected their own orators, and the
most violent and incendiary speeches fol-
lowed.
The news Of the riot spread rapidly, and
soon Barillas threw battalion of in
fantry into the large square for the pur-
pose of dispensing the mob.
They, with fixed bayonets, attempted
to carry the plaza by assault. They
were met with shower of stones aud
bullets from reyolvers.. This unexpected
action of the mob put them to ignomi-
nious flight. leaving many dead and
wounded in the plaza.
Barillas then ordered artillery into the
plaza and infantry and two cannon to
guard his residence. When the guns
were turned on the mob there was a gen.
eral dispensing of them, though they dis
charged their revolvers at the artillery
men.
They left the plaza. but fought in the
side streets; in fact they practically, DUR
ing the night Of the 18th, held full con-
troll of the city, though at intervals they
were attacked by the infantry, VINO shot
many of them.
The arrival of troops from adjoining
districts eventually restored Barillas to
power and martial law has been declared.
Salvador is moving troops to the
military district of Santa Anna,
bordering on the southern frontier
of Guatemala, and it is be-
lieved for the purpose of invading the lat
ter country If the city of Guatemala re-
volts spread to interior points. A later
report says Barillas has declared himself
Dictator.

The Hudson County Republican Com

RAPID TRANSIT.
Coming With a Rush Unless Some
body Interposes New OBJ
stacles Soon.

At the meeting of the Street and Water
Board yesterday the Committee of the
Board of Trade on Rapid Transit were
somewhat surprised to be told by Presi-
dent Somers that his Board would not in
terfere with tine extension OF the Mont
gomery street electric line to the ferry
If the railroad company obtained
the permission of the property owners
along the street to erect poles in front of
their premises. When this information n
reached President Thurston he. too, was
astonished, but he was gratified as well.
He has the consent of large majority of
the property holders and will immedi-
ately set to work to extend the road to
the ferry.
Superintendent Sayres was directed to
proceed at once with the erection of the
poles, and on Thursday morning he will
60 to work. He will begin at Jersey
avenue and if his men are not interfered
with, the poles will be quickly erected all
the way to the ferry. The work
of putting the poles in place and
stringing the wire can be easily accom-
plished in two weeks. The ground wire
is already in place, and II the company is
not interfered with the citizens of the
Heights will be flying up and down
Montgomery street by electricity before
November /.
1t is more than probable that when the
company once starts to extend the road 1t
will continue until the route Is COM
pleted to the ferry, Mr.. James B. Vre-
denburgh has not been idle OF late
and 1t is whispered that he has secured
some legal process which will restrain
