TRY TO WRECK TRAIN.
Engineer Of Express Discovers Ties
on Track Near Nezoport.

Newport, R l.. March 17.-The timely discov-
cry by the engineer of an obstruction placed on
the tracks of the New York, Haven and
Hartford Railroad. just outside of the city, prob
ably prevented the wrecking Of the boat train
from Boston tonight.
Five railroad ties had been placed between
the rails and the locomotive struck them with
considerable force, although the power had been
reversed and the brakes set. Four of the ties
were picked up by the cowcatcher and thrown
from the track, while the fifth wedged be-
tween the pilot and the truck wheels.
An investigation is being made, the officials
believing that the accident was the result Of
boytsh prank rather than a deliberate at
tempt to wreck the train.
The obstruction was placed on the tracks at
secluded spot just north of the yard signal,
near sharp curve. The train, consisting OF a
locomotive and three passenger coaches, is due
here al $50 O'Clock. It was moving at rather
less than the ordinary speed when the engineer
saw the obstruction and attempted to bring his
train to stop. He had considerably reduced its
speed when the locomotive struck the ties. The
few passengers suffered nothing more than a.
severe shaking up, while the locomotive was
not materially damaged.

How does the rate per arc light charged by your

the rate charged the city Of NewYork by the local
lighting companies?'
The rate in Washington up TO this year was s72

MAY RETURN COCKRELL.
Missouri Republicans Still Unable to
Agree on a Senator.

Jefferson City. Mo. March 1I.-After taking
five joint ballots and defeating motion TO dis
solve. the legislature tonight passed the ques-
tion of electing a United States Senator over
until noon tomorrow, the day on which both
branches have agreed TO adjourn finally.
The Democrats remained firm for ex-senator
CockreIl all through the eight ballots taken at
the sessions to-day and tonight. while the Re
pubcans tried to force the election OF one OF
the candidates who have been voted for in the
last week.
Kerens as far his name concerned,
was not factor in to-night's balloting. but his
supporters remained united on their selections.
The Niedringhaus men wandered from one can
didate TO another, never presenting a united
front for any one and their efforts TO effect
a compromise were not regarded sincere by
the Kerens man
Many opinions were expressed after the dis
solution of the Joint session 10 the effect that II
Senator is elected tomorrow he will be Mr..
CockrelI as many believed the Republicans de-
monstrated tonight that they cannot agree on
candidate and that the only solution is to return
Cockrell.
D. w. HILL the Republican Speaker OF the
House Of Representatives, said after the joint
session that il looked like the election of Cock
rell tomorrow. Mr.. Hill recently declared that
he would vote for Cockrell on the last day OF the
session.

GOVERNOR MDONALD NOW
SUCCEEDS j. III. PEABODY.
Colorado Contest Is Settled Accord-
ing to the Il greed Plan.

Denver March 17.-Despte the many predic-
tions TO the contrary, Jesse F. Mcdonald was
sworn in as Governor of Colorado late this after
| noon, succeeding James H Peabody, who re-
| signed. thus settling the contest for the Gov
ernorship according to the agreed plan.
There were many rumors early in the day
that Mr.. Peabody would not resign. that his
| resignation. which he placed in the hands OF
w. 8. Boynton, was merely tentative and that
the Governor I'm the hands of his friends "
The resignation was filed in the office of the
Secretary of State at 4:20 D. IN. to-day James
Cowie, Secretary OF State. Immediately certi-
fed Governor Peabody's resignation, and Lieu
tenant-Governor Mcdonald was then sworn in
as Governor by Chief Justice Gabert. There
was no further ceremony. Governor Adams was
ousted and Governor Peabody installed by the
General Assembly about o'clock yesterday
afternoon and Governor Mcdonald was sworn IN
before D p m. to-day. Thus in a space of less
than twenty-four hours Colorado has had three
Governors.
Governor Peabody transacted practically no
business of state while in the Office of Governor.
He received many callers who urged him not tc
resign, and also many messages of the same i'm
port by telegraph and telephone. To all these
he replied that he did not care to hold the
chair
Lieutenant Governor Mcdonald reluctantly
signed after forcing Governor Adams out He
absolutely refused to aid his friends in the leg
islature. and presiding officer in the joint
assembly he made several rulings against the
movement in his behalf
Senator Arthur Cornforth, president pro tenn
pore of the Senate, becomes Acting Lieutenant
Governor by the elevation of Lieutenant
Governor Mcdonald to the office of Chief Exec
utive.
In resigning Governor Peabody said:
To my surprise and regret discovered toward
the latter stages of the contest that certain
members of the legislature, elected as Republi-
cans entertained feelings Of i'll will and dislike
toward personally.
1 shall not attempt in this communication. to
vindicate myself against what l conceive to be
a personal enmity, unwarranted by the facts and
ungenerous TO a degree.
1 constrained TO the conclusion that the
best interests of the Republican party of this
State will be subserved if l now retire to private
life. hoping thereby that my present effacement
political factor in Colorado will restore the
peace and harmony now so sorely needed in the
Republican party of this State.

WILL ARRIVE TODAY
Congressional Irrigation
 Committees
Plans for Entertaining Notable Visi- tors During Their Stay Here and Their Trip to Roosevelt.

There were various incidents yester- day, of thought transmission, by means of the telegraph, between the board of trade committee and Dr. A. J. Chandler and MT. Fl. I. Latham. who, represent ing the board and the Water Users association, went to Fl PasO to meet the congressional irrigation commit tees and the ladies who accompany them. As a result arrangements were perfected for the entertainment of the visitors who, if all goes well, will ar rive here this morning on the regular train from Maricopa. Senator Flint and the California business men will not arrive until tomorrow morning, and the plans laid for the best con- venience of all concerned will be out lined in what follows.
 It was learned that in the congress sional party there will be eighteen members, six of whom. are ladies' It was also announced that none of the ladies cared to undertake the trip to the dam site, so it had been arranged that they would be the guests of the Woman's club during their three days stay in the city. Miss Kendrick, presi- 1 dent of the WOman's club, appointed Mrs. ". $. Pickren and Mrs. B. A. Fowler special committee to aSSlSI her in looking after their comfort. A later message. however, announced that the ladies of the visiting party would also 20 to Roosevelt.
 The local reception committee and | the Woman's club committee will meet the party at the depot this morning with carriages. and all will be brought | to the otel Adams, where breakfast will be served. Among the items of the breakfast bill will be some of those extra large and fine Arizona strawber- ries raised by MT. Black and mentioned in a recent issue of this paper.
 As quickly as possible the visitors will be hurried back to the train and taken to Mesa City, where carriages sent over from Phoenix yesterday, will be in waiting to take them to Roose- welt. The accurate personnel of the visitors has not been secured yet. They will be accompanied to Roose- welt by Governor Kibbey, Former Del egate J. F. Wilson and perhaps by Del egate Marcus A. Smith. MT Latham wired yesterday that the visitors had | expressed a wish to have MT Smith I accompany them and immediately the message was forwarded to him with
