EXCITEMENT ON A TRAIN.

Theye was some excitement on the
electric train which lett Washington at
IlIO o'clock last night for this city.
Among The passengers was an elderly
man who engaged in a collcquy with the
conductor concerning ticket. The
conductor finally told the man he must
paw his fare or leave the train at the
next station. The passenger refused to
comply with the demand of the con-
ductor when the train was brought to
stop. and the latter attempted to fUrce
the man to leave the car. A scutile
ensued, during which one OF the old
mans hands was cut by striking against
a seat and blood oozed from the wound.
The other passengers, nearly all Il
whom apparently sympathized with the
passenger, became indignant and an
excited scene followed. Several occu-
pants Of the car offered to pay the old
mans fare in order to keep him from
being elected. The train later started
toward this city with the old man aboard
