Attempt to Wreck a Passenger
Train in Fresno County.
LITTLE OR NO DAMAGE DONE AND
NO ONE INJURED
The Work Believed to Have Been In
stigated by Sontag and Evans to
Get Even on Engineer Phipps, Who
the Coils Train Robbery and TestI-
fed Against George Sontag.
Special to the REcoRD-Ux1oS.

AoEtCldl ~ bIle hECOkD-ONlON.
FRESNO, Jan. 23.-An attempt at train
wrecking was made on the Porterville
branch Sunday night at $50 O'Clock for
the purpose Of ditching the passenger
that leaves here for Porterville at $50 in
the evening. Phipps, the engineer who
was held up by Sontag and Evans, runs
this train. The road bed is in excellent
condition, and the train, when nearing
Porterville, crept along at very fast rate
Where the wreck was attempted is be-
tween Roth and Porterville, not very far
from the latter place. The persons who
planned the wreck had piled ties across
the track, and also laid a steel rail in front
of the ties. In addition, they had sunk
the whistling post in the middle Of the
track.
Phipps, seeing the obstruction, made
every effort to stop the train, but he was
too close to reduce the speed but little,
and when he struck the rail scattered
the ties in all directions. One of the ties
was lifted in the air and hurled past the
fireman's side of the cab.
The whistling-post afforded but little
obstruction, and as luck would have it
nobody was hurt beyond little shaking
up. Little or no damage was done to the
engine.
Nobody was seen in the vicinity of the
obstruction when the train stopped. The
passengers were badly frightened. They
thought they were about to so through a
train-robbing experience. The people
believe Evans and Sontag are responsible
for the attempt, it being supposed to be
their intention to get even with Phipps
for testifying against George Sontag.

SATURDAYS RAILROAD HORROR.
THREE MORE VICTIMS SUCCUNIB
TO THEIR INJURIES.
Tie Death List Now Numbers Twenty
PersonS-Twelve More Not
Expected to Live.
Special to the REcoRD-UN1oS.


ALTON Qll.), Jan. 23.-Three more
deaths this morning increased the death
roll of Saturdays horror to twenty. The
additional dead are J. n. Murray, County
Assessor; Charles Haller, farmer, and
Joseph Herman. child. The physicians
expect twelve more of the injured to die
within a few hours.
Every physician within reach is en-
gagged in the work Of alleviating the suf-
ferings of the burned and blackened vic
Tins. They find their efforts almost
uuavailing. Many of the wounds are too
deep for anything except death to relieve.
Relatives of the sufferers and the dead
from other points are arriving. The dead
are so fearfully disdgured that it is next
to impossible to identify them.
The Coroner is busily engaged in the
work of holding inquests. The funerals
of Henry Penning, John Locke, Ed. and
VIM. Miller, John Wilkinson, Chas. UT
and Willie Mccarthy were held to-day.
The body of II. Cornelius, the student of
SburtIetf College, was shipped to his
Iowa home this morning. ". Z. Rich
ardson, John Burke and Frank Schulhng
are ciinging by vital tenacity to life, but
death for them, the doctors say, is but
little way of. The hospital looks like
deadhouse, and the odor of burnt flesh is
everywhere. The doctor in charge saws
that all in the hospital are equally injured
and that death is certain in all cases.

DEMOCRATIC LEADERS TO TAKE HAND.
NEW YoKR, Jan. 23.-An evening
paper says: Senator Arthur p. German
Of Maryland, Chairman of the Demo-
cratic Steering Committee of the Senate.
had a conference to-day with Hon. w. c.
Whitney on the situation in Montana.
Senator German is confident the Demo-
Gratis will organize the Senate, even if the
troubles in Montana are not settled. but
he wants a Democrat elected from the
State, just the same. The situation in
Montana has been the subject of several
previous conferences between the Demo-
cratic leaders, and it was thought at one
time the trouble there was settled, but it
has broken out again since the Legisla-
ture met. Senator German and Mr..
Whitney will communicate with the
party leaders in Montana, and if the
troubles there cannot be settled by corre-
spondence, some one may be sent out
there to see if the factions within the
party cannot be united.

CpeCIdl 10 I0e hECORD-O MON.
MACON (Ga.), Jan. 23.-Associate JUS
tice of the Supreme Court L. q. c. Lamar
died here tonight. Death was sudden
IN the extreme, for since the Justice had
been here he appeared to be gradually
gaining. This evening he visited for
some time with friend, DR.. Llewellyn,
and just after the doctor left the house,
about s o'clock, was seized with violent
pains in the heart and died in a short
time.
Brights disease, with angina pectoris,
was the direct cause of Judge Lamar's
death, and given by the physicians as
being the chief complications in the case.
Lucius Quintus Cincinnatus Lamar
was born in Putnam County, Georgia,
September l, 1873; graduated at Emory
College in 1915; studied law in Macon,
and was admitted to the bar in 1S47. In
lo49 ne removed to Oxford, Miss, and ac-
cepted protessorship in the University
OF Mississippi for year, when he re-
signed and resumed the practice of law
III Covington, Ga. Served two terms in
the Legislature, and again returned to
Mississippi.
Mr.. Lamar was shortly afterward
served from 1857 till 1860, when he re-
signed to take a seat in the Secession
Convention of his State He then en-
tered the Confederate Army as Lieuten-
ant-Colonel OF the Nineteenth Mississippi
Regiment, of which he afterward became
Colonel. He shared in many of the en-
gagements of the Army of Northern Vir-
gina, but was compelled to leave active
service on account OF iii health.
After the close OF the war Colonial
Lamar returned to Mississippi. He was
again elected to Congress in 1872, when
Tor the first time in many years Demo-
cratic House OF Representatives assem-
bIed, and he was selected to preside over
the Democratic caucus, where he made
noteworthy address outlining the policy
OF his party. He was reelected in 1874.
and then chosen to the United States
Senate, taking his seat March 5, 1877.
In both the House and the Senate Mr..
Lamar spoke rarely, and not often at
great length, but when he did it was
usually on critical occasions, and with
much power and effectiveness. He in
sisted that as integral members of the
Federal mon, the Southern States had
equal rights with the other States, and
hence they were bound to both by duty
and interest to look TO the general well
fare, and support the honor and credit Of
common country. He had great indie
pendence of thought and action and at
one time when he was instructed by the
Legislature of his State to vote on the
currency question against his convic-
tlons he refused to obey, appealed to the
people and was sustained.
On March 5, 1885, Mr.. Lamar became
Secretary of the Interior in President
Clevelands Cabinet, which he resigned
I'D 1887 to accept the appointment of AS
SOclate Justice OF the Supreme Court.

LONDON, Jan. 22.-The Egyptian situa-
ton is assuming a gravity which. for
time, puts all other issues in the back
ground.
The Foreign Office received a telegram
from Lord Cromer, saying the Khedive
lntimated his intention to refer to Turkey
and the Treaty Powers the action of Eng
land in causing the dismissal OF the
Fakhri Cabient
The natives are more excited than at
any time since the outbreak under Arabi
Pasha.
The Cabinet held a long consultation on
the Egyptian crisis, during which a
stream of telegrams was received from
Cairo. The prolonged session is said to
be due to difference of opinion as to the
necessity of reinforcing the army in
Egypt Tor the purpose of looking after
matters at Cairo, and protecting the
frontier against the dervishes who have
become threatening. When the Cabinet
adjourned it was to meet at p. NJ.
France has given notice to Great Brit
ain that, while refraining from objecting
to Biaz Pasha as Premier, she would
maintain the right Of the Khedive to
choose his Ministers.
The British force in Egypt numbers
about 3,400 and there are 1900 native
troops under the command Of British
officers. They have reached a high de-
gree of efficiency under British drill
masters.
no DISTURBANCE Likely TO OCCUR.
CAIRO, Jan. pa correspondent had
an interview to-day with Lord Cromer,
the British representative in Egypt. Gro
mer said: There is no cause to appre-
hend disturbance, but You are at liberty

SUIT AGAINST THE GOVERNMENT.
Case Involving the Salary of an En-

sign of the Navy.
NEW YORK, Jan. %. - George F.
Ormsby, Ensign of the United States
navy, has begun suit in the United States
Circuit Court against the United States
for S5,3l5, portion of his salary which he
alleges is illegally retained. Ormsby was
tried by court-martial in California in
May, 1856, on charge of conduct preju-
dicial to good order and discipline. and on
being found guilty was subjected to five
distinct sentences: First, suspended from
duty; second, suspension from rank;
third, degradation for two years; fourth,
loss of all pay except $50 per month, and
fifth, public reprimand by the Secretary
of the Navy. Ormsby refused to do
work subordinate to the duty he was
first performing, and in consequence of
which he was confined from January %,
1889, to June following in the Navy-yard
prison at Mare Island, California, and
subsequently discharged. Ormsby claims
that the original court-martial was i'm
properly constituted, and had power
only to try private in the Marine Corps.
lie still claims to be an Ensign in the
navy, and entitled to the Sj,3l5 withheld
from him for three years.
