Row ON A TRAIN.-The case of two
young men of this city charged with
disorderly conduct on Washington
Southern train Saturday night came up
in the Police Court last night. The
court room was packed with spectators.
The trouble began soon after the last
train left Washington and did not
terminate until it reached this city. II
seems that one of the accused became
somewhat dismembered while in Wash
ington, so much so that he became sick
on the Car and created nuisance. The
conductor demonstrated with him and
was assaulted. The official threw
the man back in his seat and en-
deavored to quiet him, but every time
the conductor passed through the Cal
the difficulty was renewed until the
latter slapped the passenger. A brake
man appeared on the scene while one o
the struggles was in progress, when thu
other Alexandrian took hand in tht
ARRAY. After the train left st. Asapf
the latter struck the brakeman aftel
threatening him. Warrants we're sworr
out against both men charging them
with creating the disturbance, and the
case was set for o'clock last night
About an hour earlier the man who hat
caused the trouble by entering the cal
in a druken condition met the conduc
tor on the corner of King and Fairfax
street and struck him. The train man
being more powerful than his adverse
~, knocked him down and was hold
ing him on the pavement when an ofli
Ger arrived and arrested both. The
Mayor, after hearing the evidence, de
cided he had no jurisdiction as to wha
occurred beyond the mile police juris
diction, but fined the man $3.50 fol
striking the brakeman and the mar
who assaulted the conductor in the
street S..

FLAG RAIsING.-A large crowd as
sembled on Windmill Hill last night to
attend the raising OF the First wi:G
democratic Bryan and Sewall flag. The
flag is handsome burgee, red, white
and red, with the names in blue letters
in the white field, and is the gilt OF
Mr.. ]. NJ. Hill. The flag was raised
during a salute fired by cannon loan
ed for the occasion by the jackson
Democratic Association of Washington,
and the reports were heard throughout
the CITY. Mr.. F. Z. Anderson, candi-
date for Congress from this city, made
a happy speech on the occasion. MIR.
Anderson was introduced by Mr..
Hubert Snowden, who assured him
that while in the recent primary the
First ward was the only one that went
against him, yet, should he receive the
nomination for Congress, that ward
would give him the largest majority.
Mr. Anderson then made capital
speech, telling how the Chicago con-
vention had nominated candidates
worthy the support of all DEM
ocrats, and urging his hearers
to heartily support the ticket. he
said the candidates were of the people,
nominated on their merit, through
popular uprising of the people and pre-
dicted that the ticket would sweep the
country. He paid glowing tribute to
the life and character of VIM. J. Bryan,
recalling the fact that the democratic
candidate was of Virginia stock in the
county of Culpeper, and so was closely
attached to the Eighth Virginia district.
He referred to the story of Saul sp-
pointing David as King of Israel, and,
after drawing the picture of the shep-
herd, who was called to rule Judea, he
contrasted with it the amounting of the
Young Nebraskan with the oil of COM
ing victory in the convention at Chi
cago. He described the habits of life
of the chosen leader, showing the in
tense democracy OF the man and his
pure and blameless character. He
closed with a glowing allusion to the
leadership of the Cid in the Moorish
wars, and applied his historical allusion
TO the coming struggle in the fall when
the brilliant young orator would lead
the democratic hosts to victory. His
speech was short, but admirable, and
delivered in Mr.. Anderson's usual
graceful style and force, and was heart
lily applauded.

EXCITING EXPERIENCE beginners
Maxheimer and Harvey, of the South
ern Railroad. had most exciting ex-
perience yesterday morning. The To-
comotiyes were hauling fruit train
which was due at Lynchburg at about
s o'clock. When about four miles from
the city, and at the top of what is one
of the very steepest and longest railroad
grades in this section of the State, the
airbrakes failed to work. The wheels
were reversed and sand applied, but
without avail, and at the rate of fifty
or sixty miles an hour the heavy freight
train dashed toward the city. The rail-
road passes through the Union Station,
and the speed was not checked until
the train had passed by the depot ard
through that portion of the town. 1t
was terrible experience for the en-
gineers and most remarkable escape
from serious accident.

fore Judge Norton.

RELEAsED.-George Brown, James
Cliff and Oremus Beach, suspected Of
completely in the murder of r. Fl. Bay
liss, were dismissed in the Police Court
last night with the understanding that
should any additional evidence be pro-
cured they would be arrested. The
prosecution was represented by Com.
monwealth's Attorney Marbury and
the prisoners by Messrs. S. G. Brent
and J. 81. Greene. Since the arrest of
these men there have been no new de-
velopments and the defense is prepared
to prove that the man asleep on the
Pioneer Mills wharf on the night of the
alleged murder was Carey Davis.
Ernest Langley, arrested on suspic-
ion of setting fire to the houses on up
per Duke street early Sunday morning,
was also released. 1t was proven that
he was at the Hydraulion engine house
before the fire broke out.

BUSINESS MEMS LEAGUE.-The
monthly meeting of the Business Mems
League was held last night, President
Harlow in the chair, and the minutes
of the last meeting were read by Secre-
tary Carne. The weather was intense
" warm and the attendance was slim.
Mr.. Eichberg moved that as the room
in the rear OF the league rooms was not
needed it be given up, as its further
renting was needless expense.
1t was explained that the room had
been rented for year, and the con-
siderstion of the matter was postponed
until the next meeting.
Mr.. John May suggested that as the
hot weather had set in the league
might adjourned till September or Oc-
tober unless there should be business
which required attention, but no action
was taken in the matter, and after q
few minutes session the meeting ad-
journed until the second Wednesday in
August.
