MORE TROUBLE AT CHESTER.
Three Street Cars Are Blown Up by
Dynamite.

Chester, Pa.-The disorder that
has marked the strike of the
Chester Traction Co.'s employees for
several weeks was renewed Tuesday
night, when three Of the company's
trolley cars were blown up by dyna-
mite. Two cars were wrecked on Sa-
vile avenue. in Eddystone, and a
third at Palmer's corner, on the Media
division, outside of the city.
The car at the latter point was
blown to pieces and when a squad Of
deputy sheriffs reached the scene they
arrested the crew of the car, on
which there had been no passengers.
Neither the motorman nor conductor
had been injured and they were taken
into custody pending an investigation.

the race for governor against Hoke,
Smith, by the man he beat. Last fall,
while Quietly engaged In offices Of

an order, signed by Gov. Smith, dis
missing MIN from Office. Mr.. Brown

less than anyone else.

Mr.. Brown is 81 years old. When a
young man in 1877, he began as.
freight clerk in the freight depart
ment of the Western & Atlantic rail-
way. BY close application and natural
aptitude for the business he worked
his way up to general freight, passen-
ger agent and traffic manager. In,
1899 the consolidation of the various;
interests of the Nashville, C%hattanoo-
ga & st. Louis railroad was effected
and Mr.. Brown gave way to H. F.
Smith. brother of President Milton
Smith. Brown went with the Sea-
board, remaining there until change of
control made a clean sweep of Off
cials. When Joseph Terrell became
governor of Georgia he appointed
Brown a member of the railroad COM.

MARYLAND DELEGATES FREE.
No Mention Is Made Of Bryan in the
Platform Adopted.

Baltimore, Md.-The Democratic
state convention was held Wednesday
and delegates to the national conven-
ton at Denver were elected and a
platform adopted. The latter makes
no mention of the candidacy for the
presidential nomination of William ].
Bryan and his followers, who had
been demanding half the delegation
sent to Denver, count but four sure
Bryan men among the 16 delegates
chosen. The close of the convention
came amid considerable confusion, fol-
lowing the statement of a delegate
that he had intended to offer a resolu.
ton looking to instructions favorable
to Bryan, but had been dissuaded and
an endeavor of another delegate to
second the others motion, though
none had been made.

SHAH WILL APPEAL TO CAR.
Persian Ruler in Hiding, Will Go to
Russia.

Teheran-Yhile the present hid
ing place of the shah is not
definitely known, it is believed that
he will not return to the capitol before
paying a visit to st. Petersburg, in the
hope of getting the Car to interfere
in the internal muddle into which Per-
STA has been plunged.
1t has been demonstrated conclu-
sively that Shah Ali Mira cannot give
his country a peaceful administration,
and unless Russia, in conformity with
the Turco-Mantchay treaty, supports
the Kajar dynasty with armed inter.
v%ention, it is certain that the Shah
will be overthrown and his crown
taken from him.
The Shah, it is reported, will plead
personally before Gear Nicholas his in
ability to control the situation, and
will announce his willingness to let
Russia assume temporary control.
