A BROOKLYN Elevated Line Put in
Receivers' Hands.
NEW YORK, August 31.-The Kings
County Elevated Railroad Company, op-
Grating in Brooklyn. has been placed in
the hands Of receiver. General Jourdan,
president Of the company, was named as
receiver.
The application ftr receiver was made be-
fore Judge Goodrich in the supreme court,
Brooklyn, by Tracey, Boardman & Plat.
in behalf Of the petitioners, James H.
rockingham, treasurer, and August Bel
mont vice president of the Kings County
road, and Vermilye & Co., bankers of New
York.
The petitioners aver that 1t is friendly
action brought for the purpose of adjusting
the affairs and protecting the interest OF
the stockholders. They say that there are
a number of outstanding debts they can
not yet meet. Poor business, due to the
trolley system, is also given as one of the
reasons.
The capital of the company is $3.50, 900.
The road was constructed at a cost of $1I,-
30, sos, and has a line of eight and a half
miles Of track.
The last two annual reports show that
the income of the road has not been sufti-
cient to pay operating expenses and fixed
charges. Its liabilities, which, on June 30,
1894, were $11, 349, Ito, had grown a year
later to $15,63O,94I. The profit and loss &C.
count on the latter date showed a deficit
OF $I1S,OS6.

TRAIN waECKERs AT WORK.
Attempt Made to Wreck the BAY
Ridge Excnrsion Train.

Ridge Excursion Train.
The Sunday AFTERNOON Bay Ridge excur-
sion train from Washington. carrying over
500 Washingtoniars, which left this city at
30 pm. yesterday, was only saved from
being derailed at Camp Parole by the quick
work of Engineer Coleman of the Annapo-
lis, Washington and Baltimore railroad,
who brought his engine almost to a stand
still within few feet of several cross ties
which were on the rails. The engine, be-
fore it came to j stop. however, succeeded
in pushing the logs aside.
The logs were placed on the track by
some unknown persons, in order to wreck
the Bay Ridge excursion train from Wash
iLgton. What their object was in SO doing
Il is impossible to ina CINE, unless it was
for the purpose of robbery.
The train was an unusually large one
owing to the fact that yesterday was the
last SUI day of the Bay Ridge season Of
'96. 1t consisted of ten coaches and con-
tanned more than 500 Washingtonians. The
train was in charge Of Conductor Green.
There was a delay of over ten minutes by
reason of the obstruction.
Camp Parole, the scene of the attempted
wrecFing, is a small station few miles
outside of Annapolis on the A., w. and b.
railroad. The majority Of it's Inhabitants
are negroes. A camp meeting is in pro-
gress there now. short time since a num-
Der of bricks were hurled al a Washington
excursion train at this point, presumably
by negroes, and a number of windows were
broken. but no one was hurt
Among the passengers on board the train
yesterday were Auditor Ernest P. Baldwin

RICHMOND's CONGRESSMAN.
Probability of Judge Ingram ApDea
ing a Dark Horse


ing Ms a Dark Horse.
Special Dispatch to The Evening Star
RICHMOND, Va, August 31-After one
CT the most desperate political fights for
the congressional nomination that has
taken place within the democratic ranks
In this section, there can scarcely be a
doubt remaining that Capt. John Lamb
the Henrico candidate, has defeated Col
Tazewell Elicit, the present Congressman
from this district, for the democratic nom
nation. The precinct meetings in Hano-
yer and Chesterfield counties Saturday ran
up Capt. Lambs number of delegates to
ninety-three, exclusive of King Williams
seven. which are pledged to support Judge
Roger Gregory on the first ballot, and
thereafter will be thrown for Capt Lamb
That gentleman needs only ninety-four del
egates to nominate him on the first ballot
There are yet three to be chosen today
and at least one, if not two. of these will
be instructed for Lamb. thus making his
nomination almost certain on the first bal
lot. The Elicit men claim that Lamb will
nave only ninety-three delegates in ALL eX-
elusive of King Williams seven. And just
mere is significant and interesting point
that may turn topsy-turvy the whole pro-
gram of the district convention. which will
be called TO order next Thursday morning
in this city, and introduce some new and
important tactics in the meeting 1t is a
recognized fact here that Judge John H.
Ingram of the hustings court of Manches-
ter, who was a candidate for the con-
gressional nomination two years ago, and
withdrew in the interests of harmony in
favor of Col. Elicit, would gladly accept
the nomination, and it is understood that
he would have been in the race this time
but for the fact that he could not meet
the heavy financial expense. Judge In
gram is exceedingly popular in Manchester,
Chesterfield and King William, and it is
believed he would get at least thirty three
out of their thirty-seven delegates. So bit
ter has grown the fight against Lamb and
Elicit that 1t is almost certain that if the
Henrico candidate is not nominated ON the
first ballot the Elicit men will throw their
strength for Judge Ingram, who will
easily carry the thirteen delegates from
Manchester and most of the Chesterfield
delegation. as well as some of the mem
bers from King William. This would give
Judge Ingram the nomination with votes
to spare. Whether there will be a dead
lock in the convention cannot be reliably
stated now. In such an event there is al
most no doubt at all that Judge Ingram
would be the dark horse. This would NOM
inate him for Congress without the ex-
penditure of dollar on his part. The re-
suit of the whole fight will depend upon
whether or not Lamb gets the nominal ton
on the first ballot. 1t is expected that the
convention will bring out some stormy
scenes and great deal of personal feeling.

SMELLS AT BENNING.
Complaint Made by Citizens of the
AbattOir mt That Place.

A committee of citizens, representing the
population of that stirring little suburban
town Of Benning. had an audience
with the health officer this morning TO
complain of the nuisance caused by the
abattoir and Union stock yards, which are
situated almost in the heart of the village.
The committee was composed OF DR.. j. l..
Brayshaw and Messrs. Thos. +. Clark and
G. w. Barnes. DIR. Brayshaw opened the
discussion. He referred to the nuisance
which existed there, and said at times II
was unbearable. The reduction of the
offal and debris of the abattoir to fertilizer
caused all sorts of noXious odors, which in
his opinion were dangerous to health. But
whether or not the health OF the citizens
out there was affected, ii was certain that
their comfort was disturbed, for the pre-
vailng winds were laden with vile stenches.
driving the citizens indoors at night and
compelling the closing of all windows.
The health officer told the committee that
he had examined the situation, and while
he found that a nuisance really existed he
was poWeriess to correct it, Unfortunately
there wassno District law or ordinance I'M
der which prosecutions could be had, but
he thought there was ample protection
affo rded under the common law, and prom
ised the gentlemen to bring the matter to
the attention of the law officers of the Dis
trict. with view of prosecuting the Of
fer ders maintaining common nuisance.
The committee presented the following
petition bearing upon the matter:
We the undersigned residents of Ben
ming and vicinity do humbly petition your
honorable body and call your attention TO
the public nuisance maintained by the
Washington Abattoir Company and the
Union Stock Yards Company of this place.
The horribly nauseous and sickening
odors emanating from these establishments
Especially in the evening" are noisome
as to be a constant menace to the public
health, and have in several instances
caused severe attacks of nausea and vom-
iting.
I'VE pray that these nuisances be imme-
diately abolished as dangerous to the
health of the community"
There are ninety signers TO the petition.
several of whom are physicians.

no matter what was DONE No. do not
look for any word from the President to
this convention"
There is decided feeling that but one
thing stands in the way Of offering the
nomination to the President 1t Is recoy-
nized that in case this action was taken
there would be clamor against a
third term. which might be turned to ac-
count by the silver men and prevent some
from voting.
Material for Candidates..
A group of delegates was todsy discuss
ing the matter Of candidates and one said
there were a dozen different men who
would make f1rst-class candidates, and
that they would be mentioned now but
for fear that it might injure their chances
ard cause them to decline in advance of
the convention.
1t was stated that many men who had
been mentioned early had already declined
because they felt stronger men might be
named. 1t was also said that the sec
tional issue would not be allowed TO enter
INTO the selection of candidate, and
whether man was from Florida or Ore
gon should make no difference when the
ballot was taken. 1t seems, however that
there is disposition to take one Of the
men from the south. in the hope that 1t
may have influence in the southern states
IN case northern man is named for first
place there is disposition to push either
General Buckner of Kentucky or Secre-
tary Herbert Of Alabama for second place

HIT HARD AND oPPORTUNELY.

Washington punched Their Errors mt
the Wrong Time.
Saturdays game between the Senators
and the nine of big, hard-hitting western
ers from Chicago. under the captainship Of
your Uncle Arson. was a disappointing af-
fair. Errors of judgment and play were
made with a frequency that, fortunately,
are not often witnessed among professional
ball players. Chicago started Off by max
ing five runs. and the home team also got
five men across the home plate III the first
inning before the side was retired. In the
next turn they secured a lead of one run,
but held 1t only until the third inning,
when Chicago tied the score, and gained
another point in the fifth. Then, as. dark
ness began to settle down over the field,
the White Stockings hit safely four times,
and, with the aid of several infield errors,
piled up six runs. 1t needed seven runs to
tie. and the locals managed to get three of
the seven, when the game was called.
Dahlen was presented with cane during
the progress of the game.
Score, ID to 9.
