BAKERSFIELD, CAL, Feb. l9.-As the
south-bound passenger train on the
Southern Pacific railroad was nearing
Paso last night the engineer saw. by the
aid of the headlight. queer looking
small object laying near the right-hand
rail. He paid little attention to
it. When the driving wheels
of the locomotive passed over
the object there was terrific explosion
and the cab was enveloped in sheet OF
flame. The insignificant object proved
to be heavy charge of dangerous ex-
ploslve. Fortunately, the engine was a
heavy one. and held to the rails, while
the motion of the train carried it quick
ly over the spot.
When the train had slowed down suf-
ficiently to permit the engineer to get
down on the steps, he was astOunded to
find the brake beams on the engine and
express car trucks on fire. The train
was stopped, and the flames extin-
guished. A cry of train robbers ran like
a wild fire through the crowded coaches
when the train stopped, for the passen-
gers had all seen the flames from the
explosion, and for time a scene of in
tense excitement ensued. At Paso of
ficers were notified, and they at once
left for the scene of the explosion.

BOIES is STRONG.
A MiSsourian Interprets Senti-
ment in His State.

NEW YORK. Feb. 19.-W. E. Mcclure,
of this city, recently wrote to w. H.
Phelps, of Carthage, Mo-, q member of
MisScuri's Democratic state committee,
to ascertain the sentiment of Western
Democrats in regard to the Chicago
nomination. In his reply Mr.. Phelps
says: 'If the Hill and Cleveland fac
tons in New York could unite upon
some man in that state satisfactory to
both-say Gov. Flower or Mr.. Whitney
he would likely be nominated by ac-
clamatiOn; but as it is not probable that
an agreement can be reached in this
way. in my opinion the nomination
should come West, and | believe that
Gov. Boies is the most available man 10
select. He has carried the state of Iowa
twice: is all able man, not identified
with any faction, and one whom | be-
leve every Democrat IN the United
States could support. He is especially
strong with the Germans, and in my
opinion would receive a large part of
their vote. and they hold the balance of
power in Illinois, Iowa, Wisconsin, and
are very strong in many other Western
states. do not believe that the move
Eient against holding the state conven-
ton in New York on Feb. % will have
much effect on the national convention.
If Hill can carry the state in February
there is no reason why he cannot carry

their choice for presidential candidates.
The results were tabulated before Mr..

Blaine, 1854; Harrison, S,10S; Nc

as follows: Blaine, 1864; Harrison,
1,l64; Mckinley, Sos; scattering, 4S4.

The Vital Question to Be Decided
at ST Louis.
WASHINGTON, Feb. 19.-The interest
of all the great reform organizations of
the country is conferred in the national
conference to be held in st. Louis
on Monday next, and upon the outcome
of tins conference rests the fate
of the national third party movement.
1t is conceded by the representatives of
all the great industrial organizations,
the Farmers Alliance, Citizens al
lance, Farmers Mutual Benefit asso-
citation, ColoIed Farmers Alliance and
Cooperative union, Knights of Labor
and the Patrons of HuSbandry, that the
predominant Issue of the coming con-
ference will be the third party move
ment.
Principles, measures and declarations
will. of course, all be discussed by the
1000 or more delegates in attendance,
but the great question at issue will be
"shall the various labor and industrial
organizations of the country unite in an
independent movement and prOmulgate
common declaration of principles,
nominate candidates for the presidency
and vice preside ncy and contest with
the two old parties for supremacy In
the natiOnp'
