LOCUsTs HELD UP A TRAIN.

They Swarmed Over Jersey Excur-
siOnists and Frightened the Women.
A swarm Of seventeen-year locusts took
possession of Long Branch train near
Avenel. N. j.. yesterday morning, and FOR
time there was every prospect OF the pas
seugers having to abandon tn, coaches and
let The locusts retain them. Tho train
which experienced this unusual trouble
WAS No. 9s7 of the Pennsylvania railroad
1t left Jersey City at 10 O'Clock. The warm
weather tempted hundreds to visit the
coast towns. and the train was heavily
loaded.
The heat had caused almost every window
to be opened, and when the train came to
Avenel the passengers leaned out to look at
the hundreds of thousands of the locusts
on the ground and in the air. They would
have been satisfied with this, but the
locusts were not. Before the Passengers
were aware what was happening. the pests
had swarmed up the SIDES of the cars, and
through the windows and doors inside.
Women screamed and stood on the seats
with their skirts drawn up, so as to avoid
immediate contact with the crawling OBJ
and pay undivided attention to keeping the
lccusts from their hats and faces. The
more timid passengers started for the DOORS
but at that moment the car started. The
rush of wind seemed to discomfort the pests
Those on the outsides OF the cars dropped
off, and those inside chung closely to the
seats or floors, and were soon thrown out Of
the windows by the train hands who
started the cars.

Not Properly Dressed.

To the Editor Of The Evening Star:
j wish to have you publish the follow
ing facts: A friend and myself came from
work on the Sth day of June, and went TO
the Washington barracks to see some
friends that were engaged in a game of
ball. AS We went inside the gate the
6, ard stopped US. / asked him why 1 could
not go in the grounds and he would not
Answer. Two of my friends came up and
asked me what was the matter / told
them that 1 did not know, but that the
guard had stcI ped US. The guard then said
that the two men who had first come up
could go IN. L then asked him again WHY
1 could not 60 In and he said that l was
not dressed properly. 1 think that IL is n
shame for a working man TO be imposed
upon in such a manner before the public.
1 have been citizen and a resident OF the
District all my life, and TO be driven out
OF the government grounds like a sneak
thief and to have the whole public frown
upon me is a shame 1t Is an outrage that
a workingman has not the same rights to
go In this ground a millionaire. IL will
be SO after awhile that a workingman
can't ride in a car when coming home from
work. THOMAS EI.AHERTY

A fight between deputies and strikers &C.
CURED yesterday morning at Lemont. Pa.
One striker was killed and two were fatally
wounded. All three are Slavs. The trouble
was started Saturday afternoon by an at
tack by the strikers on four American
workmen, John Delaney, Oliver Attleby.
John Britt and James Furlough, who live
at Leisenring. and have been working at
the Prick Coke Company's valley works
for some time. They went to New Haven
Saturday afternoon to take the Leisenrng
electric railroad for home.
AS soon as they alighted from the train
at New Haven a mob of several hundred
strikers beat them and put tags on them
bearing the inscription 'Blacklegs," also
covering them with chalk marks. The
strikers then marched their prisoners to all
the works on the line from New Haven
south. holding them up as decorated samples
of ''scabs" for the revilings and abuse of
strikers everywhere.
the, perilous position of it's workmen.
Field Deputy Matthew Allen and six men
were sent to New Haven on the evening
train. They found the men yesterday
morning.
Many of the strikers had revolvers and
all carried clubs. They moved against the
deputies. who retreated under a shower of
clubs and stones.
Riding up to the advancing crowd Of
miners, Deputy Allen told them to go back
saying he did not want any trouble, and
there would be trouble If he or his men were
attacked and injured.
The answer to Allen was a general yell
and one OF the strikers covered him with
his pistol and fired. The shot was a close
shave for the top of Aliens head. The
deputies opened fire together and the stIik-
ers stood to it and fought gamely.

A special from Berkeley Springs to the
Baltimore Sun says:
Associate Justice Edward Douglas White
of the United States Supreme Court who is
sojourning here, had quite tumble from a
horse as he was about to start out on a
short ride. The attendant held the bride
as the judge was about to mount but let
go his hold on the rein, permitting the
horse to plunge forward before Mr.. White
was securely seated He thrown from
the animals back rather violently to the
ground, but escaped injury except a slight
jarring.
The report of the marriage of Mrs. Kent
to Justice White, at this place on Friday
last, is without foundation. There is no
authority for the rumor.

BOUNTY ON SUGARS.
senator Jones' Proposed Amendment
to Compensate Importers.

senator Jones' Proposed Amendment
to Compensate Importers.
Senator Jones is contemplating an amend
ment to the sugar schedule when the tariff
bill shall be taken out Of committee OF
the whole and considered In open Senate
which will modify the provision imposing
an additional lilo cent duty upon sugar i'm
ported from countries which, like Germany
pay a bounty upon sugar production. He
has been in communication on this Ques-
ton with the Secretary OF the Treasury,
and. In response to a request from Mr.
Jones for a form In which the change could
be made so as to increase this additional
duty. Secretary Carlisle has suggested a
proviso relieving importers from this duty
where they show certificates indicating thar
they have not accepted from their own
government the difference between the tax
on beets which the grower is required to
pay in Germany and the bounty which
that country pays on sugar.
Senator Jones says he has heard nothing
OF the protest from Germany against this
additional duty, which is reported to have
been made. He says his only idea In the
matter Is to avoid discrimination and fur
nish compensation to the importers from
bounty-paying governments. who propose
to forego the bounty. Mr.. Jones stated
when asked about the matter that he had
not yet consulted with other members of
the finance committee on the proposed
amendment.
