Two Passengers who Interfered Shot by the Robbers, One Dying Instantly. Detayo, Cat., Feb. 23.—As train No. 17 left Pixley last evening five men boarded it. Two went on the engine and covered the engineer and fireman with revolvers. When about 2 miles from the station the train was brought to astop and the other three men entered the express car and ordered the messenger to open the box, covering him with revolvers. Dyna- mite bombs were exploded under the cat and during the excitement several passengers ran toward the front. Two of them were shot. E. 8. Bentley, of Modesto, was probabiy fatally wounded. and Charles Gabert, of Poso, was in- stantly killed. The train ran back to Pixley, where the news was left. The passenger coaches were not molested. Another account states that two men were concerned in the robbery, and that while one remained on the engine the other made his way to the express car, and by OF ears bombs under the car so frightened the mes- sengers that they speedily opened the doors. Bentley, who was probably futally wounded, is deputy constable here. ‘Ihe amount secured by the robbers is unknown. A posse will pursue them from here. THE NEW STATES REJOICE.

A LETTER FROM CITIZENS OF SOUTH WASHINGTON TO THE DISTRICT COMMISSIONERS, The long controversy between the people of South Washington and the Baltimore and Po- tomac Railroad company is known to every- body. As stated heretofore in Taz Star, they have entered a protest against the illegal occu- pancy of H street southeast by the railroad company. The matter was, as stated a few days ago, referred to Attorney Riddle for re- port. In passing upon the case he said that the people of South Washington had been re- peatedly notified that if any reputable man would come forwurd and make affidavit that the street was illegally occupied he would take action against the company. Messrs. Dwyer and Parker, in a letter to the Com- missioners to-day upon the question, say: “Referring to our communication relative to the obstruction of H street southeast by the Baltimore and Potomac railroad company, we wish to call your attention to the opinion of the District attorney. We cannot but acknowl- edge that it was devoid of all decency; in fact, it was of an insulting nature, and transgressed all rules governing official correspondence, and we think the official deserves a severe repri- mand for using his official [seghors to reflect upon the citizens of South Washington. By reference to your official records you will find that the District attorney has been instructed | to enter suit against the gas company of Georgetown for a violation of District laws, | We wish to ask the question, Will he require, in this instance, some reputable man to come forward, present himself, and make affidavit? If not, why does he not enter suit against the railroad company, when, as we understand, he has in an official opinion stated that all tracks laid without the sanction of Congress are in violation of the United States statutes? “Very respectfully, if "tomas, H.

A Pistol Leveled at a Detective’s Head by a Man He Tried to Arrest. Detectives Carter and Mahon were standing in front of the National hotel about 10 o'clock last night when a young man named James Rooney claimed their protection, saying three men were after him, as he believed, to shoot him. The officers went over to the Metropoli- tan hotel, where the three men complained of were standing on the sidewalk. When the de- tectives approached one of the three, Wm. 8. Warwick, went into the hotel. The others— Arthur F, Kirby and A. B. Tompkins—were ar- rested by Detective Carter, while Detective Mahon followed Warwick into the bar-room. He was standing in front of the bar. The offi- oe ee im and said, “I want you.” “Wait till I get a drink,” said Warwick. Then he turned toward the bar, but instead of calling for adrink he drew a revolver and, pointing it directly toward the detective, said: “Now, take me if youcan.” The officer made @ lunge at Warwick to get the weapon from him. Then there was a general scramble for the front door by those in the saloon, who ex- pews every moment to see some one killed. Varwick managed to escape, and planting himself in the doorway leading to the office he again leveled bis weu at the detective. When the officer mi another at- tempt to catch Warwick the latter ran out of the door and along the avenue, At 6th street he turned and started for the corner of C street at the National hotel. Detective Mahon drew his pistol as he was in pursuit of the fugitive, and when he turned the corner of 6th street he fired one shot without effect. A second shot was fired, but like the first, it did not take ef- fect. Detective Wheeler, who was coming down 6th street in front of the fying bui- lets, captured the fugitive turned him over to Detective Mahon. who es- corted him to the first precinct station, where he was released on $50 collateral. The weapon was not found on him, and it is thought that he passed it to some friend. His companions were released on $20 collateral each, This morning in the Police Court Tompkins and Kirby were charged with threats toward Rooney, and Warwick was charged with carry- ing concealed weapons and assaulting an officer. ‘The cases went over until Tuesday. PATRIOTIC WHEELMEN. How They Celebrated George Washing- ton’s Birthday. The Capital bicycle club held its usual patri- otic celebration last night. It took the form of what was called by the amusement commit- tee “a peanut barbecue,” the program com- prising also a burlesque representation of the forthcoming inaugural ceremonies, As customary each member of the club brought with him a book as a contribution to the library. The club was out a bushel or so of poe a barrel of apples and a couple of egs of cider by the entertainment, but to more than balance this was a tempting array of new books. Many friends of the club- men came in as guests to witness the inaugural pageant, to sip club cider, eat club peanuts, and smoke club pipes. The inaugural parade passed twice around the large reception room before coming to rest before the platform, representing the east portico of the capitol. "The procession was under the com- mand of Grand Marshal Maj. Gen. Beaver, personated by Mr. Allen. The order was as follows: Platoon of mounted police, repre- sented by Dr. Schooley; Prof. Susie, ersonate: by Mr. Burnett, and the 1 Marine band, comprising _ the famous kazoo-players of the club; the Penn- sylvania militia, 10,000 strong, represented by ir. Forney, who formed the body-guard to the President-clect. Then came the following: Pres- ident Cleveland. personated by Mr. Wentworth; the President-elect, by Mr. T. P. Borden; Col, Lament, by Mr. Leaning: Mr. Thurman, by Mr. Low; Mr. Morton, by Mr. Wilson; Mr. Blaine, by Mr. Seely; and the Chief Justice, by Mr. Godwin. Following were a number of members of the club whose faces were concealed representing the veiled cabinet, others representing a committee of the United States Senators. At the end of the rocession came the “Society of Advanced Thought,” Caries f Belva Lockwood, per- sonated by Mr. J. McK. Borden, and Susan B. Anthony. by Mr. Bacon, and the G. A. B., re- presented by Mr. Dodge. Among the group of Senators, one that at- tracted especial notice for his unique costume and wild, woolly appearance was the new Sena- tor from Dakota, who was presented by Dr. Lane. The ceremonies at the east portico were carried out with due solemnity. President Cleveland was sworn ‘‘into the soup,” and the the President-elect and Vice-President duly took the oath and made speeches. At least the President-elect essayed to make a speech, but Mr. Seely, who was costumed as a plumed Knight insisted on making the speech for him. Areference to George Washington brought out @ quick response from Greenough’s statue, which was then discovered in winter quar- ters behind a screen. The screen was removed and the statue represented with much fidelity both as to attitude and as to scarcity of clothing by Mr. Dyrenforth,took part in the subsequent proceedings. There was much good natured fun about the performance. War Department Changes. Willard G. Steward. of Louisiana, clerk, 1,000, surgeon-general’s office, resigned to take offect March 5; Haroid E.

Stu- art, of Philadelphia, marshal of the Pennsyl- vania brigade in the civic line, were in con- sultation with him. Many of the Washington civic organizations that expect to parade had not reported to-day, and ay d ef be left out of the line. Gen. Hastings hoped to have the whole list of organizations made out, and all the aids of all the various marshals named in time to have the order promulgated Monday. WHY THE CITY TROOP WILL NOT COME. The Philadelphia Press to-day says: “The City Troop, which has never attended an inauguration except as the President's personal escort, will not be in Washington on March 4 This has been fully decided upon. A variety of reasons are given, but the fact that General Harrison has invited his old regiment to act as his body guard, and thus relegated the Troop to an inferior position in the event of its at- tendance at the inaugural ceremonies, is said to be the real reason. RAILROAD ARRANGEMENTS. During the inauguration business the Balti- more and Potomac will use their depot exclu- sively for passenger trains from north and west and through trains from the south. The local trains from the south will use Maryland avenue and 9th street (the freight depot) as the tem- porary terminus, and all trains with organiza- tions will also 1 there. The road expects to handle a much larger number of passengers than four years ago, notwithstanding the tact that the Baltimore and Ohio has this year ad- ditional facilities for handling northern passen- gers. THE MILITARY. Gen, Axline, who is Gov. Foraker’s chief of staff, and will serve as such in the inaugural purade, will remain in the city until after the inauguration. Gov. Foraker will be marshal of the third division, comprising all the troops outside of the regular soldiers, the district na- tional guard, and the Pennsylvania national uard, Gen. Axline figured up to-day that this ivision will number about 6,100 men. It will comprise a number of famous orxanizations— the New York seventh, the third Connecticut, the eighth Massachusetts, the fifth Maryland, the Baltimore Light Infantry, and others. THE TREASURY DEPARTMENT DECORATIONS. Mr. Louis D. Wine, chairman of the commit- tee on street decoration, stated to a Srau re- porter to-day that Chief Clerk Youmans, of the Treasury department, chairman of the sub- committee on the decoration of that building, had reported to him that Capt, Peter Bonnett and Mr. E. 0. Leech, to whom the prepara- tion and execution of the plan of deco- ration had been entrusted, had completed their arrangewents for the decoration of the Treas- ury. ‘Lhe decorations of the Treasury building will be very beautiful and far more extensive than on any previous occasion. They will embrace the wrapping of the large pillars, 50 in number, with American flags, 12 feet by with cross flags 5 by 8 feet, each surmounted | by a large gilt star. Streamers of bunting will be run along the base of the pillars and the cornices of the building on the east, north and south fronts. and in each of the pediments at the top of the north and south fronts and at the northeast and southeast corners of the build- ing will be placed large shields, bearing the coat-of-arms of the Treasury, 10}, by 93¢ feet, with radiating standards, six in each shield, draped with American flags. Streamers of wide bunting will be used in decorating the porticos, It is expected that the effect will be very beautiful, e THE STREET DECORATIONS. Chairman Wine said to a Srar_ re- porter to-day that Dr. W.G. Duckett, chairman of the sub-committee between 2ist and 22d, on Pennsylvauia avenue, has reported that he had personally called upon the residents of his dis- trict, and that the feeling in favor of decorat- ing on the 4th of March next was universal. A similar report was also received from Col.B. F. Whiteside, who reported for Dr. A. P. Pardon, chairman of the sub-committee from 18th to 2ist street. Mr. Wine also said that the flags placed in his hands fur distribution by jout resolution of Congress are now ready to be given out to residents on Pennsylvania avenue, from Istto 22d st. He will be in his office on Monday, 25th inst., from 9 a.m. to 4 p.m.,where applications will have to be made in person by parties desiring to borrow the same, and fur- nish satisfactory surety for the safe return thereof. In no case will these flags be given out without a satisfactory bond. BIG SUPPLIES FOR THE INAUGURATION, O. G. Staples. proprietor of Willard’s hotel, has given to Wm. Ottmann & Co., New York, the largest butcher in the country, an order for meats which takes three hundred bullocks and five hundred sheep to make. This is the largest single order the firm has ever received in forty years’ business. ‘THE FLAMBEAU DRILL. The executive committee has arranged to have the Flambeau club drill on Pennsyl- vania avenue, between 7th and 10th streets. Capt. 8, H. Merrill has been appointed marshal for the drill, NOTES. Gen. R. D. Mussey, of this city. has been appointed to command the fifth brigade of the civic division, ‘This brigade will comprise fel da zations from all the states, except Penn- sylvania, New Jersey. New York and Maryland. The Banner City club, the largest white re- publican club in Norfolk, Va., numbering 750 members, has arranged to take part in the in- augural parade. presentative Houck received a telegram from the legislature of Tennessee yesterday, informing him that they would attend the in- op beans in a body, , ork was begun to-day erecting the review- ing stand in front of the White House. This <—e was the one that once stood in Athletic parl The Brightwood Railroad. CAPT, SYMONS THINKS THE TRACKS SHOULD BE IN THE MIDDLE OF THE BROAD. Tue Staz has heretofore referred to the pe- tition of the Farmer club, as well as the resi- dents and property-owners along 7th street road, protesting against the placing of the tracks of the Brightwood railroad in the center of the road, as it would seriously interfere with the travel. The matter was referred to Capt. Symons for his views. In rt to the Commissioners he says: center o} the the 7th 1889. therefor could be found in the highly-favored newspaper account of a personal encounter al- leged to have taken place between the two Sen- ators above mentioned. The collision was said to have taken place at a meeting of the Senate select committee on Indian traderships held last evening, and at which Senator Chan- dier submitted a report that criticised to a caustic degree Secretary Vilas and ex-Indian Commissioner Atkins, Certain statements in this report were, it was said, of @ mature that was offensive to Mr. Blackburn, and he called upon Mr. Chandler to substantiate his conclusioas, This, Mr. Chandler, the account said. refused to do, and the result was an interchange of language in which Mr. Chandler was alleged to have stigmatized the Kentuckian as a “slave iver,” while the epithets of “scoundrel” and liar,” with profane adjectives, were said to ave been ad at Mr. Chandler by his burly opponent, Then Mr, Blackburn was described as lifting Mr. Chandler out of his chair by his right ear, and following this was a scene of confusion and strife. which was ended by Senator Faulkner's loosening the Kentuckian's grip and taking him out of the room. The only other witnesses were Senators Cullom and Platt and the clerk to the com- mittee, INDIGNANT SENATORS, Senators conversant with the factg in the case were very indignant to-day when spoken to of the matter, and Senator Chandler was espe- cially annoyed at the rumors which had been spread abroad. He talked of the affair, to a limit extent, to a Star reporter and said: SENATOR CHANDLER'S POSITIVE DENIAL, “I do not know how such a story could get into circulation. There was a disagreement in com- mittee, it is true, and as to its nature I shall, at Ppreseat, say nothing. I will say, however, that neither Senator Cullom, Senator Platt, nor the clerk to the committee gave out one word of the affair last night. Ido not know who gave it out, That there was an enormous quantity of vile, abusive lai used, or that I was the subject of a battery, or thatI was even touched, are falsehoods that have not the slightest foundaticn.” “ALL BosH.” Senator Cullom was averse to saying any- thing as to the minute particulars of the alleged trouble, but he did tell a Srar reporter that the published account ef the disagreement was “all bosh.” Senators Platt, Cullom. and Chandler were in ces roy consultation throughout the early part of the afternoon, and the two former were secn to sign a typewritten paper submitted by Mr. Chaudier—presumably a statement which he will either read to the Senate as a question of personal privilege or give to the press. Shortly before 2 o'clock those three Senators went down to the room of the committee on the judiciary and were locked in there for some time with Senator Edmunds. It is generally believed that the matter will come up in the Senate before adjournment this evening. SENATOR BALCKBURN COULD NOT BE FOUND, but Senator Faulkner was seen. He said he would not affirm or deny anything in connec- tion with the matter, but he smiled when in- formed that Mr. Chandler denied that any as- sault had been committed onhim, He said that whatever had been given to the press had not gone from him, and be knows that Mr. Blackburn had refused most emphatically to say one word of the affair, turning away six- teen reporters last night. Mr. Faulkner eai the story had probably been retold by some the Senators who had learned of the occur- rence from those Senators who were present in the committee-r when the fracas occurred, WASHINGION NEWS AND GOSSIP, ‘Tae Present Has Arrroven the acts grant- ing pensions to Elijah W.
