Reavixa, Aug. 13.—Late last night fifteen tramps jumped on a Reading railroad coal train below this city, near the point where two of the railroad company’s officers were recently dangerously shot. The tramps cut the train in three parts, which act was only discovered in time to prevent another train running into the first train. The railroad police officers and a squad of city police were called out, but when they arrived on the scene the tramps had fled.

They Will Try to Capture the Primaries in Petersburg. Special Dispatch to Taz Evextno Stan, Perexspuno, Va., Aug. 13.--The anti-Ma- honites of this city held a conference last night and were in session until a late hour dis- cussing the question as to whether or not they should attend the republican primary meetings to be held tonight to elect delogates toa city convention to be held tomorrow night, which will elect delegates to the republican state con- vention in Norfolk on the 22d instant. After a good deal of informal talk it was de- cided to leave it as a matter of choice as to whether or not they should attend the primary meetings. It is evident from conversation had with the leaders of the “kickers” here that they will attend the primaries tonight, and it is pro- bable that they will make an effort to capture the meetings to be held in the different wards of the city and elect anti-Mahonite delegates to the city convention, Should such an attempt be made, as in all probability tt will be, A LIVELY SCENE MAY BE EXPECTED. The friends of Gen, Mahone here and, in fact, all through the state are anxious that he should be the nominee of the convention for jovernor. It is said that Gen, Mahone will al- low himself to be nominated for governor and will then decline the nomination and name the man he wishes to bé the nominee of the party. Col. William Lamb of Norfolk will, it is thought, be Gen. Mahone’s choice. THE DEMOCRATIO CONVENTION TOMORROW. Much interest is manifested here today in the democratic state convention, to be held in Richmond tomorrow. From present indica- tions the race for governor will be between Capt. Phil McKinney of Farmville and BR. F. Beirne of Richmond. Capt. McKinney evi- dently has the lead. Some two hundred or more delegates to the convention from the southwest passed through here last night en route to Richmond and these were followed this morning by one hundred more. A large majority of these delegates are for Mc- Kinney. Captain Samuel Woodson Venable of this city whose name is to be brought before the convention as a candidate for governor will, it is thought, develop con- siderable strength,and if neither McKinney nor Bierne is the choice of the convention he (Venable) may be. The delegates from this city to the convention will leave for Richmond thia afternoon and they are instructed to vote for Venable - FIRST, LAST AND ALL THE TIME. The delegation from this city will be headed by Charles Watson, a prominent democratic leader of Petersburg. Such is the interest felt here in the convention thata large number of our citizens will attend. pcan TODAY’S RACING. A Large Attendance Witness the Events on the Saratogo Track.

No Experiment Will be Tried on the Helpless Paralyzed Man, Maurice Adier. “No better and apparently no worse” was the report from the bedside of Maurice Adler this afternoon, and that is about as definitely correct an answer ascan be given to an inquiry as to the wounded man’s condition. Dr. J. W. Bayne and Dr. McBlair were the only phy- sicians who called to see the impatient patient this morning, bat they found nothing of ¢s- pecial interest. The paralysis is just as com- Plete as it ever was and Adler lies fist on the water bed as helpless and incapable of move- ment as human being ever was. There isa fo ge Hower et = the emt of .the “ an , an more mar! than fee's day oF trolago; hie amelioration THE RESULT OF THE OPERATION, The tendency to sleep is greater than it used to be and the amount of morphine and such like drugs necessary to produce somnolency is much less than heretofore, All Adler needs is to get started toward sleep with the aid ofa small dose hypodermically injected and the rest of it may safely be left to nature. Now he sleeps twenty hours out of each twenty-four, The pains which made life a burden have nearly all disay iyoated, but there is still that soreness around the head and neck. “The great trouble now,” said Dr. Wi i toa Stax reporter today, ‘is about the food. The patient used to be very willing to eat or drink almost anything we i him, but now we have to insist on his ‘ing nt = ment—he poritively fights us whenever we think it time for him to eat.” This morning Adler's temperature was 101, his respiration 22 and his pulse 116. His ge eral condition this afternoon was uot such as make any of the attendants imagine that the 6nd is near just now. WHY THE ELIXIR WILL NoT BE USED. “We shall not try the ‘Elixir’ on Adi said Dr. Bayne to a Star reporter today, ‘Enough is not yet known about its resulte to justify us in trying it, and we will not experiment on the patient. There is « probability that it might if used introduce some septic matter into the ian which would do an infinite amouut of arm. es SHE MARRIED AN INDIAN. A Chance for Other Washington Girls on the Seneca Reservation. Very few people in this city knew when Miss Stella Cox lett this city some time ago just where she was going and why. The news has at last reached here from the Cattaraugus Indian reservation that on the evening of July 24 Iniss Cox, in company with Nathaniel Patterson, a full- blooded Seneca Indian, appeared before Justice Parker in his office at Versailles, N. Y., and were married, It was a quiet wedding, and only a few friends were present to witness the simple prion The groom is well known among his people and his white neighbors; they unite in voting him an upright, honest, sober and industrious Indian. He is a farmer and owns the best dapple-gray team upon the reserva- tion. A CHANCE FOR OTHER WASHINGTON GIRLS. Mr. A. Sim Logan, late of the United States’ Indian bureau, in writing of the affairs, re- marks: ‘We have afew more young men to spare if ‘pierce Bes should desire to send some more of her daughters among the dusky braves.” Miss Cox was employed for some time by Lansburgh & Bro., and among her fellow em- ployes has an excellent reputation. Her mother and sister live in the city at 403 New Jersey southwest. ———— LIQUOR LAW VIOLATIONS. Several Cases Tried in the Police Court Today.

Higgins was tried for violating the Sunday law at his saloon on Pennsylvania avenue between 12th and 18th streets. He was fined $20 and noted an appeal. BEER AT MARY ALMAROLIA’S SUMMER GARDEN. Mary Almarolia, a colored woman who con- ducts a confectionery store and summer garden on Maryland avenue near the Capitol, was charged with being an unlicensed liquor dealer, Lawyer Closs, for thegdefendant, admitted that liquor was drank in the garden, but claimed that it was purchased in the saloon adjoininy the summer garden, Policeman Kemp testifies to the purchase of beer in Mary’s place. M. Forrest asked Mary how she made any money when she only furnished beer, She said that she usually sold beer drinkers asandwich or something to eat. “But the officer says that he only purchased beer,” said Mr. Forrest. “Can he swear that he did not buy fifteen cents’ worth of cabbage?” asked Mary. The officer was recalled and he admitted that he purchased cabbage, The court dismissed the case. FOUND HIS WHOLE FAMILY DRUNK. Elphonso Amarosa was defendant in the next case called, He was charged with selling beer on Sunday in his store in Shott’s alley. Jesse Gray, colored, who informed on the defendant, said that when he arrived home on the Sunday charged he found all the members of his family drunk. The testimony of another colored man named Lee was heard, and the judge dismissed the case, remarking that one of the witnesses had been tampered wi an A Suit for $15,000 Damages. Theodore S. West, by Mr. E. A. Newman, to- day filed a suit against Sterling Ruffin for $15,000 damages for assault and battery.

So Say District Officials and President Hurt. ‘There seems to be no question at all among those who have charge of the resurfacing of Pennsylvania avenue that the pavement will be finished in time for the Knights Templar con- clave here in October. Both contractors say that they will undoubtedly finish the work provided they are not hindred by the railroad In conversation with President Hurt upon the subject, he said that if the completion of the avenue depended entirely upon the efforts of the company, there wai no doubt that it be would completed ontime. He said further that he would put a large force of men to work as soon as he was given the proper grades and push his share of the work as rapidly as possible. Commissioner Hine, when asked if he thought the great tho: hfare would be in readiness by Ovtobet, eal that every indication pointed that way, but that should anything interfe: with its completion boards could be laid. He said, however, that he did not anticipate any ible. Commissioner Douglass he thought that all would be well and th ue would have a new coat to welcome the Knights Templar. Maj. Raymond said that both contractors ap- to be doing their utmost in work, and thet if nothing interfered he thought everything would be in readiness by October. In conversation with yt. Symons he said that it was his apreaton that the Avenue great parade, Both contractors, he said, seem disposed to do their utmost and the railroad company have clearly demonstrated that they will do all in tel power.

It is eaid that Representative Brower of North Carolina has got all he expected out of his ‘“diuff” op the speakership of the next House, and will not be heard from at all when Congress meets. His proclamation that he would be candidate for speaker gave a little fright on account of the very small republican majority, and the consequent danger of having any “kickers” in the party. Since then be has got three presidential post masters in his state—one at Greensboro, one at Winston and one at Reidsville. At Winston he has offended the republican paper by getting the sppointment of a man who does not live in the town, In order to it hie man at Greensboro, the widow of J Settles, who — for the place, to be turned & NORTH CAROLINA MAN EXPLAINED toaSrar roporter today how Thomas Keogh became “‘a discontent” and got behind Brower in the Speakership scare, James Boyd, forther district attorney in North Carolina, who was a ife-l republicans and delegate at Chicago for Harrison, wanted to district attorney.

HORSE THIEVES AT WORK. How They Conduct Their Four Recent Robberies in Maryland. “Look out for horse thieves!” is the warning sounded bythe police. Almost every day Chief Swindell of the detective corps receives a tele- gram from the surrounding country giving in- formation of horse stealing. Most of re- cent robberies of that kind have occurred in Maryland. Horse thieves, the policemen say, take more chances in several states than do burglars who enter dwelling houses when the inmates are asleep. This is particularly true in some states, where horses seem to be more highly prized than citizens, HOW IT Is DONE. The horse thief usually works in the dark hours of the night. Often he has to break the keeper on the door. Sometimes he secretes himself in the hay-loft before sundown and then at a late hour rides off with «horse. In order to avoid detection he often has secreted in the country near by a saddle and perhaps a ay of clippers, When he has his own eaddle e can hide the saddle taken from the stable,so that when a description or the stolen property is sent out the saddle at least will not corre- Sos with it. Then he must destroy the evi- lence that will lead to the identity of the horse. To do this he takes the animal to an out-of-the- way place and THEN USES THE CLIPPERS, Sometimes he will cut the mane and tail and thereby disfigure the animal to such an extent that identity is rendered difficult. After the animal has undergone that operation it is driven to some flace and sold if the ofticers do not apprehend the thief before he manages to pocket the money and escape. ‘I! thing about the ‘crime of horse stealing that renders it more obnoxious to residents in the rural district than ordinary breaches of the law, but notwithstanding the fact that death often stares the thief in the face he will enter astable and run the chance of being found hanging over some rocky cliff with a rope around his neck, FOUR MARYLAND HORSES MISSING, During the past week four horses have been stolen from Maryland. A dispatch was received, August 6 from Gaithersburg, signed W. 8. Caul- field, giving information of the 7 ofa brown mare. The following day W. A. Fowler telegraphed from Marlboro’ the description of @ sorrel mare that was stolen from him. The next dispatch was received from Annapolis Junction, conveying the intelligence that a horse and road cart were stolen from Irving Park camp grounds Sunday night. Today a dispatch was received from Mount Airy, Md., requesting the officers to look for « horse and buggy that were stolen from David Burdette’ Poplar springs. —_—-— Transfers of Real Estate.

Another day has passed without rain altbough the lowering clouds and the weather mag promise showers before many hours. The “high” has passed off very quickly and is now centered just off the cosst to the southeast of this city, while two large “lows” have appeared west of us, one centered in Minnesota and the other on the Pacific ‘The former can hardly pass without this city the benefit of some moisture, but the second is liable to lose itself in the deserts west of the Mississippi.
