Armed Men Tried to Blow
Up a Dam.
A Sheriff's Posse Gave the
Offenders a Hard Fight.
The Trouble Grew Out OF Water
That Overfl0wed Land.

TAMPA, Fla, Jan. 9.-An attempt was
made last night to blow up the dam OF
the Consumers Electric Street railway by
an armed body OF horssmen, who used
dynamite. doing considerable damage
but not succeeding entirely in theii
work of destruction. This company has
recently copstruciei a new Dam and
power house five miles north OF here at O
cost OF 600, 600. The country people
threatened to blow II up and one night
an armed posse OF 90 men were sent out to
protect the dam. This was a month ago,
and uince then four men have guardec
the property day and night.
Last night at late hour horsemen at-
tackled the old dam three miles from the
new structure. while they were prepar-
ing for their work the men employed at
the old works secured all the available
guns and for half an hour fulisade oi
shots wes exchanged. No one OF the defen-
sive party was hurt, but from the bullet
noles in the house il can be seen that
ell had a narrow escape. The raiders were
driven OF and they soon had posse
there. Grief OF Police Burke thinks the
men will be captured. The trouble Is due
to the rising water, which has flooded
the farmers lands.

that the sheriff will be justified in TAX

safety of life and ether property before
removing tie encrosching portion of the
foundation. The act of the defendant
in constructing his building beyond the

Senator Aldrich Mum on
Cabinet Question.
His Friends Assert That He
WillNOt Accept a Portfolio.
Mr.. Marsden j. Perry Says That His
Place Is Still in the Senate.

Senator Nelson ". Aldrich arrived here
from Washington this afterocn at 80 o'clock.
He was interviewed at the depot by NEWS
reporter. but declined 10 discuss the state
ment that no has been asked 10 acccp. po-
sition i'm the cabinet. He Said 81 think IL IL
better that / should say nothing about the
matter"
The report from Washington that President
elect Mckinley had invited Senator Aldrich to
be member Of his cabinet as Secretary OF
the Treasury did not create anything OF a
sensation In Rhode Island political circles
The statement that Senator Aldrich bad re-
ceived such an invitation was generally ac-
cepted as reasonable, but any doubt as to
what the Senator's answer would be was con-
sidered absurd.
Mr.. Marsden J. Perry said: Senator Al.
drich will certainly not accept cabinet po-
stion. He has "A name and place in the United
States Senate and a work TO do there which
he will not leave unfinished. His associates
in Congress and his constituents an Rhode
Island would not listen TO his retirement
under any considerations.
General Charles r. Brayton said that II
wasn't worth considering and there IL no oc-
casion for any speculation as TO who Senator
Aldrich's successor from Rhode Island might
be IN case he should resign his seat in the
Senate because he won't resign. Senator AL
drich, the general said, will be one of the
strongest supporters of the Mckinley admin
istration in Congress, and that's where he
will stay.
Colonel Joslin, secretary Of the Union Rail
road Company, and General Manager Potter
are both confident that the president OF that
concern will not resign from the Senate.
