Marching Army of Strikers.

New Haven, Conn. May 4.-Word
reached this city this morning that the
the army of New York, New Haven and
Hartford trackmen who are marching
from Harlem to this city, compelling
trackmen along the route to go on strike,
were on the way to this city from Bridge
port. The railroad officials charged that
it was members of the marching army
who attempted to wreck cars at Stamford
last night. The officials also say that
boulders we're rolled on the tracks of the
road this morning by someone supposed
to be the army of trackmen. Word was
sent to the police in this city this morn
ing asking them to prevent the invading
army from trespassing on the tracks OF
the New York, New Haven and Hart
ford railroad in this city. A general
alarm was sent out and twenty policemen
in charge of a sergeant and accompanied
by force of deputy sherifis were sent to
the city line to meet the invaders. The
police and deputies are fully armed and
it is understood, that there may be trOu-
bled. 1t is the intention of the police TO
warn the strikers off the property Of the
railroad. If they don't obey thecommand
they will be arrested for trespassing on
the railroad property. The movement
resulted in nothing serious, as the strik-
ers eventually broke ranks, and scatter
elk and returned to New Haven.

Threw a Bomb.

Salonika, May Another dynamite
explosion occurred here yesterday. Little
damage was done. That there was not
more serious outrage was due to the dis
closures of an Italian woman Of the city.
She suspected that her lodger, Geo. Jour
dan, was Matching up plot and gave
information to the police. Thirty soldiers
were detailed on the affair and surround
ed the house while Jourdan and three
friends were inside. The imprisoned men
threw bomb at the soldiers but struck
beyond them and no one was hurt. Jour
dan and one of his friends seeing the
bomb had no effect blew out their own
brains. The other two were shot by the
soldiers.

FROM WASHINGTON.
Correspondence of the Alexandria Gazette.
Washington, ID c., Nav 4.

| Correspondence OF the Alexandra Oazette. J
Washington, d c.. May 4.
The remains of the late Alexander R.
Shepherd, formerly Governor of the
District of Columbia, "the man who lift
ed Washington out of the mud, were
given a funeral today worthy of the great
deed he accomplished in his day in the
building and Identification of the nat
ional capital. The people of Washing
ton turned out today in large numbers
to do reverence to his memory. Cover
nor Shepherd died September last at
BatOpilas, Mexico. where he owned and
managed extensive mining properties.
His body reached Washington early this
morning in funeral car on the Chesa-
peake and Ohio Railroad. Until $3.50
it rested in a room at the station while
the escort was forming to convey it tn
the New York Avenue Presbyterian
Church. In the cortege were the District
of Columbia National Guard, the regi-
ment of High School Cadets, the com
missioners of the District of Columbia,
the former associates of Governor Shep.
herd in the government of the District
of Columbia, and the board of directors
of the Washington Board Of Trade. The
public schools were dismissed for the day
and during the parade business general
ly was suspended. Until 4 o'clock this
afternoon the remains lay in state at
the church, when the formal services
we're conducted by Reverend S. S. Nit
cheIl, of Buffalo, who was Governor
Shepherds pastor. He was assisted by
by Rev. DR. Radcliffe, present pastor Of
the church. Interment was made in
Rock Greek Cemetery.
The Washington newspaper correspon-
dents who left here on a special train
via the B. & O. Railroad last Tuesday to
attend the dedication services of the
Worlds Fair at St. Louis, returned to-
day having had a most enjoyable trip.
At St. Louis they received the most
hospitable and courteous attention and
were in reality given the freedom of the
city and exposition grounds. During
the exercises on all three days they were
given the best stands to review the pa
rades and hear the speeches and were
repeatedly entertained. They lunched
in the same tent and at the same time
with the President, the diplomatic corp:
and other dignitaries, and at the dinner
given them by the executive committed
of the exposition ex-President Cleve-
land, Ex-Governor Francis, Senator
Hanna, ex-senator Carter, Mr.. John
Mitchell and others spoke. The tele-
graphic reports of the panic on thu
opening day were exaggerated. Th'
immense crowd pushed forward to hea
President Roosevelt and ex-Presiden
Cleveland and the guard being made
quate for the occasion there was con
siderable crush, and some women faint
ed, but no one was much hurt. Al

lorgnette, while a fourth put piece OF
