Neither Was Seriously Hurt in the

l NaSnlnRtOn, ApIu sf.-otiidtot fA' A~' Money of Mississippi, had an altercation with conductor on the street car this morning which resulted in the Senator's receiving two severe blows from the con ductor and the conductor being cut quite severely in the right hand with a knife. As Senator Money relates the circum- stance he was proceeding from his home to the Baltimore and Ohio depot to take the o'clock train on that road for Bll- timore, where he goes frequently for med ical treatment of his eyes. He had taken A car on the Fourteenth Street branch of the Capital Traction Company line and had changed to board car which stops at the Peace Monument. half a dozen blocks short of his destination. He had failed to notice this circumstance unui the car began to turn around the monu- ment. The car bound for the depot was immediately behind the car in which he was seated.
 The Senator says that he had onfy three or four minutes time in which to | make his treain, but that after he disccv- l cred he was on the wrong car he called to | the conductor and asked him for trans i fer ticket to the car bound for the depot. Conductor Wanted Money. | He does not recall what the conductor replied but failing to receive the ticket ! and recognizing that he had nc. time to l lose, he jumped from the car he was on
 and boarded the other. He had no sooner
 taken his seat, he says. than the conduc l tor of that car approached him and asked for his ticket He then told the conductor | that he had not had Stime to secure a | transfer and reminded him that ne tiie
 conductor, had been witness to the cir | cumstances of his change from one car to 1 the other
 | The conductor said he would have to produce a ticket or pay his fare, where | upon the Senator told him that he hau | paid one fare and was entitled to trans
 fer which he had asked for, but had hoS
 received and he would not pay another.
 Thercupon the conductor told him that | if he would not pay his fare he would put
 him off the car. and immediately proceed l ed to carry out his threat into execution | This the Senator resisted by grasping an upright post and engaged in struggle l with the conductor. who was not making 1 much headway when passenger who had | been sitting next to Senator Money, vol unteered to assist the conductor.
 By their combined strength they con
 rived to break the Senator's hold upon
 the post and to force him from the car | The Senator says that when they first | undertook to ejsct him from the car. 1t
 was in full motion and he feeis that If | they had succeeded at that time he would
 have been badly hurt.
 | Conductor Struck Him. l The conductor and his assistant did not. | f.x &I,gr lAssier ttnti | the car stopped at the next crossing to let
 off other passengers. He says that both 1 the conductor and the passengers were l very gruff and abusive in their language, | and thst after he had reached the street
 the conductor hit him a severe blow over
 the heart with his clenched fist.
 The blow. the Senator says, was very
 painful. and in order to protect himself, | he took d small pocket-knlte rom ms
 pocket and opened it.
 This weapon the conductor grasped and
 in doing so cut his hand so that 1t bled
 very freely. After this proceeding other | persons stepped between the two. but
 notwithstanding their presence. the con- l ductor who Is a very tall man, struck
 him another blow over the shoulder of a
 man standing between them.
 This blow was struck with the conduc-
 tors bloody had and it hit the Senator
 sauarely on the jaw. He was, as con
 sequence of this blow. covered with blood | from the conductors wound and this cir :, cumstance was responsible for rnmor | that the Senator had been severely ln- jured.
 The Senator added that there were three or four policemen present. but that none
 of them took any steps to prevent the | altercation.
 He says also that both conductor and the passenger who assisted in his eject 1 ment refused to give their names.
 The Senator was not badly hurt but his 1 trip to Baltimore was prevented. He however, proceeded with his customary duties about the capitol during the day as if nothing unusual had occurred
 Warrants Sworn.
 l The name of the conductor is O. H ! Shaner, "a vigorous, but beyish looking man He says that he did not see the Senator leave the car preceding his; that he did not strike the Senator until the latter drew hAs knife and that he did not make an effort to put him off the car
 while in motion His wound is slight cut | across the ball of the thumb. A warrant | was issued this afternoon for the arrest | of Conductor Shaner on the charge or | assault 1t was sworn out by Senator | Money. ~
 A warrant also was sworn out by the l Mississippi Senator against JdIhe9 H'
