Levi and Amelia Kirk, and was born

TrampS Capture a Train.

The capture of freight trains by tramps is
now becoming an every day occurrence, and
the knights of the road becoming tired of
dusty coal bumpers will doubtless soon be
turning their attention to Pullman cars.
Only several weeks ago they captured train
on the P. w. Il b. Railroad at Bay View near
Baltimore and on Friday night of last week
a gang of 35 boarded freight train on the
same road at Philadelphia.
When the train stopped at Gray's Ferry, the
tramps swarmed into the cab of the engine
and compelled the engineer to go on. They
then attacked the crew with clubs, coupling
pins and other weapons and drove them TO
the rear end of the train, after which they
assumed complete control.
Meanwhile the police of Wilmington had
been notified and when the train reached
that city twenty six of the tramps were
arrested and locked up on IA charge of
trespass.

people the honor would have lain between
MIR. Hayes and Judge Fisher, with the odds
on the re-assessment champions side.
The sensational scene between the Senator
and Mr.. Hayes was pretty widely discussed,
and the consensus was that the defeate3 can
didate was justified at his display of anger.
Fisher men and Hayes men go: together and
were a unit in declaring the nomination to be
the foisting of II man who was not wanted by
the Democrats of the State. The act, they
said, would bring no good to the party.
Both Mr.. Hayes and Judge Fisher repre-
sented IL definite principle, they argued,
while Mr.. Hurst was sprung at the last mo-
ment. Mr.. Hayes friends did not mouth
their words and openly accused Senator Cor
man of trickery in leading their favorite to
believe .ha: he was pretty sure of winning.
A number of them declared they would not
vote for the nominee.

"Mr. Hurst went to the judge and told him

that the Fisher candidacy was announced

MARKED ABSENCE OF ENTHUS-
IASM
At the Democratic State Conventional
Stormy Scene Between Mr..
German and Mr.. Hayes.

Mr.. John +. Hurst was nominated for
yention on Wednesday on the first ballot
getting 10 votes-n necessary to "A choice, 50.
Before the result of the ballot was an
nounced more votes were east for Mr.. Hurst
making his total Sc.
The ballot stood: Hurst eighty-six; Fisher,
thirty-one; Jones, five: Hayes, two.
The other nominees were:
Attorney Generate. c. Crothers of Cecil
county
Comptroller Marion De Kalb smith. of
Kent county.
Confusion reigned in the lobby and halls
of the Carrollton Hotel when it became
known to the country people that Senator
German and Freeman Rasin had at last
reached an agreement and had decided to
have the State Convention nominate Mr..
Hurst for Governor.
The county delegates kicked vigorously.
Many of them, while saying that they would
of course obey the edict and vote as ordered
did not hesitate to criticise the action of the
bosses, and it was evident that it would re-

the Convention to nominate the slate decided
upon last night.
1t was characterized on all sides as a sell-out
and the re-assessment advocates were espec-
tally bitter against the plan to nominate what
they called tax dodger'' on re-assessment
platform. after carrying the Convention on a
tax reform issue.
Senator Hayes was asked whether ne in
tended 10 withdraw from the contest as re-
ported. He said emphaticaly that he would
do no such thing. He repeated that he would
be candidate until the vote of the Conven
ton should decide that someone else was to be
the party nominee. and that no one could get
him out OF the fight.
Mr.. Spencer {. Jones made a similar dcclar
alton, and it was evident that both meant
what they said.
Judge Fishers frio nds were also fem in their
declaration that their candidate would not
withdraw. and several OF the Fisher delegates
said that they would refuse to vote to make
Mr.. Hurst's nomination unanimous should
the latter gentleman be nominated.

"WE PART FOREVER"
Mr.. Hayes Goes to Gorman'S Room and
DenOunceS Him to HIS Face.

At a gathering of State Senator Hayes
friends at the Carrolton Hotel there was ap-
parent the bitterest feeling against Senator
German for his treatment of Senator Hayes.
The presence of Mr.. German would no doubt
have prccipitated scene which would have
been not very pleasant to him.
One of Senator Hayes friends, in speaking
of his candidacy, said that Senator Hayes
was induced to enter the contest at Mr. Cor
mans suggestion. The reason assigned by
him was that he was the only available can
Gidate, because re-assessmcnt was the only
issue which could unite the party and that a
provision III the platform without Senator
Hayes candidacy would be mistrusted by
the people,
Continuing, he said: ''There is no baser
treachery on record than Gorman's to Hayes.
Mr.. German led Senator Hayes and his
friends up to two hours before the conven-
ton met to believe that he was to be nomi-
mated. The delegates to the convention were
elected in many counties without opposition,
because they were told they were to vote for
Hayes
The discussion then led to the famous in
terview at 10 o'clock Wednesday morning be-
tween German and Hayes, and one of the
gentlemen present from southern Maryland
said he had tried to get the facts from Senator
Hayes hut failed. as Mr.. Hayes declined TO
discuss the scene. Another said he had Il
version Of the interview from member of
the city delegation who was in an adjoining
room and overheard it. As given by this de-
legate the interview was opened by Senator
Hayes saying TO Senator German: Il now
discover you. baseness. what the people of
this State believe of you is all true. You
have posed as IN favor of reassessment and
have used me for yourtase purpose. If you
had given me &; few more hours to expose
your nefarious schemes | should have let
the people Of Maryland know of your decep-
ton. despise your methods and do not fear
you or your henchmen. l am determined
that if | can prevent it that your grip on the
democratic party shall end with your nomi-
nation of Hurst
Senator Hayes then, taking up his hat, left,
saying as he opened the door, 1--WE this day
part forever and my ife's work shall be to
help dethrone you from the dictatorship now
held by you over the party 1t is said Mr.
Hayes shook his fist in Mr.. Gorman's face.
Throughout the interview German re-
mained silent. He did not say a word.
The Cecil Whig. [volume] (Elkton, Md.) 1841-current, 1895-08-03

The fact that Senator Hayes had refused to
withdraw was favorably commented on by
all, even by those who intended to obey the
orders to vote for Mr. Hurst.
Several OF the most prominent Federal
officials, who are usually close to Senator
German, said that great mistake was about
to be made Some Of them who hail from
the counties said that the defeat of Hayes
would make it doubly hard to elect their
local tickets, and that in order to do so they
would have to trade off Hurst for their
county officers.
