Associated Press Dispatch by Special Wires.
Baltimore, Nd, July 26.-Another
chapter. In the abduction case Of
,ll-yesrssold Gladys Perot from her
paternal,, grandfather, William H.
Perot, of this city, by her mother, the
divorced wife Of William Y. Perot,
began late last night, when the child's
guardian, accompanied by City De-
tective Albert Gault, left for New
York, to take Passage for England.
They will sail today, on the Majestic,
the detective bearing a commission
from President Mckinley, to represent
the United States government during
the extradition proceedings.
Neither the State Department officials
nor the Baltimore police have been in
formed up to the present time that the
Dominion liner Cambroman. on which
Mrs. Perot and Gladys sailed from
Montreal 10 days ago, has arrived at
an English port. She is being watched
for, however, by English detectives,
and, upon her arrival, Mrs. Perot will
be arrested Professionally, under the in
dictment for abduction issued by the
Baltimore courts. Should the woman
relinquish possession Of the child. the
charge will doubtless be dropped other
wise legal battle will follow, which,
Mr.. Perot's lawyers assert, can only
result in the woman being extradited
and brought to Baltimore to answer
the charge.

OUARRELSOME EXOURSlONISTS.
DisgracofuI Conduct on Train Returning
From Ocean City.


From Ocean City.
Bridgeville, July &C. -Great disorder
and excitement prevailed on crowded
excursion train which left Ocean City,
Md, at 10 o'clock Monday night. Men,
many Of them intoxicated, thronged
the aisles of the cars, and fought until
they were exhausted. An officer, fore
seeing trouble, boarded the train at
Ocean City, but he would no sooner
quell disturbance in one part of the
train than an outbreak would occur
elsewhere.
The excursion was given by the
Methodist Episcopal and Methodist
Protestant Churches Of Delmar, and
the excursionists were returning home.
Many of the excursionists were women
and children, and the.latter were badly
frightened. Several women tainted,
and woman hemmed in by fighters
attempted to leap from o window, while
the train was running 80 miles an
hour. Drunken men who did not fight
fired revolvers from the windows, thus
increasing the terror Of the women and
children.
In one of the cars, the men fought
with canes, and women who were close
to the fighters were struck about the
head and body. Miss Hilda Lynch and
Miss Addie Atkinson of Bridgeville
were among those injured. Miss Lynch
received a blow near the right ear, ant
remained unconscious nearly an hour
Miss Atkinson was hit above the eye
receiving a severe bruise.

STRONG MILITARY FORCE
Has a Most Salutary Effect Upon the
LaWleSS Element in Cleveland.
1900 TROOpSON DUTYYESTERDAY
Full Quota of Cars Running
on all Lines.
100 STRIKERS WILL Be RE-EMpL0YED

Associated Press Dispatch by Special Wires.
Cleveland. O., July 26.-That the
presence Of the strong force of militia
now doing service in this city has
already had most salutary effect upon
the lawless element was evident this
morning, by the fact that the OBJ.
structions placed upon the tracks Of
the Big Consolidated street car lines
during the night were found to be
much less than at any time since the
present strike was inaugurated.
Cars ON four of the most important
lines of the Big Consolidated system
were operated throughout the night.
This morning, practically the full
quota of cars were running on all lines,
except the Abbey, Union and Clark.
1t was, however, a notable fact that
most of the cars were either empty or
carried only u few passengers even
during the early hours of the day, when
traffic is usually the heaviest Either
through fear Of violence or out Of sym
patty for the strikers, q large pro-
portion of the people decline, under the
present conditions, to ride on the Big
Consolidated lines and in most cases
walk many blocks, to reach the cars OF
the Little Consolidated company, which
is not involved in the strike.
About 1900 troops are now acting in
cooperation with the regular police
force of the city, under the direction
of the mayor and the command OF the
head of the military power of the State.
This force will probably be further
augmented during the day by the
arrival Of several additional companies
of soldiers from outside points. The
| majority of the soldiers now on duty
here served throughout the Spanish
| American War. With such a force al
his command, Mayor Farley believes
| that he is in position to promptly
suppress any further rioting.
President Everett of the Big Con
solidated has modified his statement
to the effect that none of the striker!
would be re-employed, by announcing
that he will take back $50 of the ole
men, provided they will apply in
dividually. He adds that possibly thi
number may be increased as vacancie
occur as a result of the wedding out
process to take place among the new
men employed since the strike began
The strike leaders, however, still
insist that every man must be takei
back, and, above ALL that the uniol
must be recognized by the company
They claim that their ranks remaii
practically unbroken, and that they ar
in position to hold out indefinitely
that the Big Consolidated is losin
money to the exent of many thousand
of dollars per day, and sooner or late
will concede the demands of tn
strikers.

PROMOTION FOR GEORGE W. BOYD.


He VIII Become Manager In Charge OF
Passenger Transportation of the southern
Railway.
Railway mon will he more than ordi-
narily interested and will find signifi-
canoe, says yesterdays New York Times,
in an announcement to be made by the
Southern Railway Co. George W.
Boyd is to be appointed manager in
charge of passenger transportation of
thai system. -
Few railway men, big or little, are
so widely known as Mr.. Boyd. His
career has developed with the Pennsyl.
vania railroad. AS assistant general
passenger agent of that company, he
has had experience bringing his work
before the public. For many days his
post has had duties similar to those
which gave Frank Thomson lifts toward
the Pennsylvania presidency. He has
been the Pennsylvania 8 official host. AS
in earlier days Mr.. Thomson entertained
Russian grand dukes and British roy
atty journeying over the continent, as
Mr.. Thomson was Sin charge" of peril
GUS trips with Lincoln, so in later times
Mr.. Boyd has been the Pennsylvania IS
representative when passengers OF i'm
portance have commanded the rail
roads courtesy. Gifted with rare social
qualities, Mr.. Boyd's successes have
been notable.
= But the duties so performed have in
reality been small besides those of ex-
ecutive detail involved in the response
bic department of which he has hao
charge; and many tempting offers have
come to him from other railways watch
full of his accomplishments. The new
Office he takes, as manager in charge
of passenger transportation on the
Southern railway, is particularly at
tractive to railroad manager of am
bitiop,

subject.

Clerk of the Peace Foard Talks on tho
Subject.
CLERK of the Peace j. L. Foard, talking
Tuesday about the crop situation,
said that pasturage was short esaccount
of tho dry weather. Corn aa. suffered
in some localities and in others has
done fairly we'll. The wheat yicldls
better than was anticipated, and tho
quaity,is much better than that Of the
previous crop. There is difference of
three cents bushel between steamer
wheat and No. Q wheat, in favor Of the
latter. whereas last year the difference
was six cents. This indicates the I'M
proved quality. In shipping wheat for
export, all must grade up to No. 3
wheat, so that the bett;r the quality
Of wheat, it grades better and the'price
is closer.
The price of wheat is very low Just
now, being in the neighborhood Of 81
cents, which IS as low as it has been
for some time. In spite Of the talk of
short crop, large receipts have been
the rule in the northwest and in Balti-
more. This keeps the price down, but
an increase may come in the fall.
