motorman has over his trolley car was
clearly demonstrated by one Of the em-
ployees Of the HestonvillO line in Phila-
delpbia the other day. II was dinner
time. and several Of the cars were at
one end Of the route. Included in the
lunch Of one Of the motormen was
hard boiled egg. In a joking way he
said to his neighbor, II will bet O. that
can crack the shell of this egg without
breaking the egg with the front dasher
Of my car. A pool was made and the
motorman reversed the current and
backed his cur a distance Of several

TROOPS AT THE CAPITOL.

It Took an Order For Anyone to Enter
 the Building.
 FRANKFORT, March 17.-Upwards of 400 soldiers occupied the state house square yesterday morning and calls of plckets could be heard above the noise and confusion of the crowd Governor Bradley was in consultation all the morning with Adjutant General Collier and Colonels Castleman and Gather These gentlemen agreed there would be no difficulty in preventing trouble.
 ''I wish to say" said the governor. that the military was called ont in or der to protect the members of the legis- lature from mob violence and to protect myself. The story that was to be ar rested for usurpation of authority in ordering the sheriff to clear the state house of all those not authorized by law to be there, and indicating that this should include deputies that the senate sergeant at- arms had sworn in, and that for this reason I had called out the mili- tary, is false am perfectly able to take care of myself, and my reason for calling out the militia was to protect the legislature and prevent trouble.
 Martial law will continue until the legislature adjourns today. Aside from the presence of the soldiers in the streets there is no excitement apparent Blackburn's 8 friends profess intense in- dignation over what they term usurpa- ton of authority by Governor Bradley, but they are too much angered to give out any plans for their procedure It is understood. however, that the gov ernor will be denounced in both houses by Democratic members. It is also ex- peoted that certain measures, regarding the revenue now pending in the senate, will be hastily killed as rebuke to the governor.
 X guard patrolled the walk in front of the door of the Capitol. Inside, at the foot of the stairway leading to the house and senate chambers, Captain Gaines and squad of picked men stood and allowed no one to ascend without a written order from Adjutant General Collier, who is chief in command at the head of the stairs. another squad of 15 stood with fixed bayonets.

It Was Held at Frankfort to Protest
 Against Governor BradIey's Actions.
 FRANKFORT, March 17.-Fhere was not standing room in the courthouse when the indignation meeting was called to order to protest against the ao- tion of Governor Bradley i'll calling out troops. Mayor Julian called the meet ing to order and made speech in which he told of his conference with Gov. Bradley, in which he assured the exec utive that he would give ample proteo- tion, and characterized the governor s action in ordering out troops as highly partisan and unbeooming a governor.
 Ex-Attorney General Hendrick nom- mated Judge Lysander Hoard for chair man of the meeting in a speech in which he scored the action of the gov ernor. Judge Hoard took the chair amid 0 wild burst of enthusiasm.
 Speeches were made by Colonel E. Il. Taylor and others denounoing the ao- tion of Governor Bradley in the same terms.
