Ephraim Pine Was Not Going td Hurl Dyna- mite at Jay Gould. Mnuawnix, N.J., Feb. 4.—Ephraim Pine, the Millville crank who tried to borrow a million and half of dollars from Jay Gould in New York yesterday, arrived home on a late train last night. He lives about four miles out of this city on the road leading to Newport and is looked upon around here as one of the most harmless men in the world. When qucstioncd about his visit to Mr. Gould's offiee he seemed much discouraged that he had been unsuccessful in getting the financier to Loom his big onterprises and was much surprised when informed that the clerks were afraid that his, three sutchels contained dynamite. He docs not know what dynamite is and never shot a gun off in his life. Ho says that while he would have liked to have secured # loan of a million and a half from Mr. Gould he would not harm a hair of hie bead. ine is a farmer's son aud for several years worked on an oyster boat in Muurice river cove.

Prrrspune, Pa., Feb.4.—A telegram from the Leader's spovial correspondent at New Orleans states that Murderer Fitzsimmons, who re- cently killed Detective Gilkinson and made a remarkable escape from the Allegheny county fail, cut his throat in the parish prison at New Orleans thiy morning and will die. Detectives were to start with Fitzsimmons for Pittsburg tonight. Cmicsco, Feb. 4.—A_epecial to the Tribune from Pittsburg says: Police officials here think that Ered C. Fitzsimmons, the murderer of Detective Gilkeson of this city, is either Tas- cott or bad o hand in the Snell murder. Fitz simsffons broke jail here several months ago, and is now under arrest in New Orleans, Officers are on their wav to bring him back. While detectives wore trailing tLe fugitive murderer it was discovered that Fitz- simmons was in Chicago when the Snell mur- der was committed and left there about that time. Since that time he would never go near Chiengo and told his friends many times that “that was the only city in the United States that he would not visit, ‘This leads to the belief that if he is not Laseott be was concerned in the Snell mur- der insome way. A special dispatch from New Orleans last night says Fitzsimmons, although talking freely about the murder of Gilkinson and escape from jail, was greatly startled and grew silent when’ lis possible identity as Tascott was mentioned. A SHAKE IN OMAHA, Earthquake Smashed Crockery and Crushed in o Frame House. Oana, New., Feb. 4.—There was a slight shock of earthquake felt here about 10:30 last night, lasting for afew seconds. It seemed most perceptible in the vicinity of the police station and the Grand Central Hotel, at 14th and Jones, where pictures were ‘threwn from the wall and crockery and glass ware were smashed. A Inrge bauk of earth caved in, crushing ina two-story frame house, No. 1451 Jones street, and burying P. H.

The house is located beyond the fire limits, in the suburbs, and when the firemen reached the house it was nearly burned up.

THURSDAY FEBRU ARY The Batic to Be Kemewed Im Selecting _ Delegates to Minneapolia Special Dispatch to The Evenine Star, Corvmsvs, Feb. 4.—There is unmistakable evidence now that the war between the two republican factions in Ohio will be renewed in the seleotion of delegates-at-largo to the repub- fican national eonvention at Minneapolis on al- most exactly the same linesas wero drawn in the recent senatorial contest. The enormous re- publican majority in the general assembly has rather to aggravate the differences be- tween the Foraker and Sherman republicans, and e: ‘on rate occasions there is no such thing as 4 strict party vote an either the house or the senate. It is evident now, too, that thero will bo a hot fight between theap two factions in the re- districting of the state for.Congroes. A half dozen different for making the new districts have ly been introduced and the ear marke of either Sherman or Foraker b C one of them. At embers of the legislature were induced ta vote as they did in the senato- rial contest with the expectation of having “sure” congressional districts cut out for them by the new redistricter. Of course, these members are now demanding delivery of the goods. men, however, do not euter into this mt with e1 i They will make a vigorous fight for th of the districts or they will join w the small ‘democratic minority attempting to defeat all the redistricters. Under these conditions, the contest over the congressional gerrymandersis likely to be bitter and prolo: Both factions will be obliged to make concessions before a measure of this kind can be passed, and neither side ia in @ humor to concede anything just now. MUNICIPAL BILL# BANGING FIRE. It has always been an easy matter to push through a bill roorgenizing a municipal gov- ernmert in the interest of the party in the majority, but in this legislature a number of auch measures have been introduced and for some reason all are hanging fire, showing that those who are managing these ills are afraid that one faction or the other will not support them, For that reason they are hesitafing to push them toa vote. For instance, the bill to reorganize the gov- ernment of Dayton has been before the legis- lature since the third day of the session, and it bas not yet passed either house. ‘The adminis- tration, which is almost identical with the Sherman faction, desires to have the new board of control in that city appointed by Gov. Me- Kinley. The Foraker people are trying to d feat this part of it by demanding that the ap- pointing power shall be given to the cuit court or to the sinkim comm sion, from whose hands it is thought the For an aker republicans sre more likely to. receive recognition. Meanwhile Gov. McKinley is slowly disposing of the official favors that come to hands by ay men inthe main. To #1 an extent is this going on that Foraker men are coming to the conclusion that the governor is in col- lusion with the Sherman men to completely crush out the Foraker faction before the time for electing deleguted at large at Minneapolis. ‘MR. FORAKER A CANDIDATE. Gov. Foraker, in bis interviews, takes no pains to conceal the fact that he is a candidate Tor delegate-at-large. It is the generai be- lief that the Foraker faction wiil urge tho selection as delegatos-at-large of ex-Gov. Foraker, Gen, Asa Busbugil of Springfield, Charles P. Grifith of Toledo and Col. A. L. Conger of Akron. For the Sherman faction a number of prominent republicans are men- tioned, cbiel among whom are Governor McKinley, Senator Sherman, Wilham M.

Today bedtings were given by the District Commissioners to two railroad bille—the one to incorporate the Maryland and Washington road and the one authorizing the extension of the Norfolk and Western into the District. The Commissioners’ room was thronged with cit- izens interested in the measure. The first con- sidered was the bill to incorporate the Wash- ington and Maryland road.

The road is intended to extend into Maryland under the laws of Merylan4. When the Commissioners made usual inquiry, if there was any one present who had objections to the measure, no cne responded. THE ADVANTAGES oF Tite ROAD. | Col. Manning spoke for the bill. Nearly all | ‘ef the proposed incorporators, he said, were owners of property within the District. The proposed routes, he said, would be found un- objectionable, but if objections were made the bill provided that these routes should be sub- Jected to the approval of the District Commis- | sioners. Ihe projectors by following the ex- | tension of Rhode island avenw led to approach the Daltimore and Oisio railroad, | then parallel (hat road for a distance of about five miles.

He did not believe any substantial objection could be found to the project. Mr. Fardon called attention to the fact thet | the road propored rtarted about 2 mile ontside | Of the city limits. It was intended to connect with the Lckington road. He understood that the property owners would generally be wiil- | ing to give the land required to extend thocity streets, He thought there would be no difti- culty in obtaining the necessary concessions for the extension of Khode Island avenue. | Mr. Dougiass asked what period was fixed for the completion of the work. Mr. Manning read from the Dill to the effect that the work mast be begun within six months after the approval of the act and completed within two years. THE NORFOLK AND WESTERN. ‘The Commissioners then took up the Norfolk and Western bill, introduced inthe House by Mr. Outhwaite Jauuary 13, and which is sub- stantially the same as ‘the ‘measure before the last Congress. There were present Messrs. F. P. B. Sands, Geo. Hamilton, Archibald Green- less, Will Wheatley, Robt.’ Tenuey, Jon H. Magrude> and others interested iu various ways in railroad projects above Georgetown. The bill in question authorizes the raiiroad company to extend its lines across the Poto- mac and into the District from the termiuus on the Virginia side, and to follow the Potomac on the Distri tion, and by way of Water street in Georgetown to Rock creek, crossing the creck and thence to the terminus of the Jive in Washington city, which shail be west Of 26th street wost and be- tween Pennsylvania avenue and Virginia ave- nue, MR. HAMILTON'S STATEMENT. When objections were called for Mr. Ham- ilton rose, as he said, not to ms objec tion to the proposed entrance of the road, but to call attention to the idefinitencas in ite proposed charter. He represented, he said, the bondholders of the Chesapeake and Obio Canal_ Company, the Georgetown Burge, Dock and Elevator Company and the Washington and Western Maryland road. He wished onl¥ that there should be a com- plete protection of the property of the canal company. bear in inind and protect the franchise of the Washington and Western Maryland road. Mr. Hows asked where the iwo projects con- ected. Mr. Hamilton said ho only wanted provision made to prevent any conflict. The bill under consideration, he said, proposed @ crossing of the river at no definite point. In reply to questions by Mr. Donglass, Mr. Hamilton said that anything that crossed the canal would have to cross the Washington | and Western Maryiand road. All be wished [was to prevent anything that would mechanically interfere with that road or jwith the nights of the Georcgtown Large, Dock and Elevator's road on Water street. The Dill provided as part of the route of the Nor- folk aud Western that thé tracks should be laid on Waterstreet, which was already occupied by the tracks of the barge and dock company. ‘Mr. Douglass said that maybe the idea was to run on the Barge and Dock Company's track and pay for it. Mr. Hamilton said that was somothing that he could not object to, but he wished the in- terests he represented to be saved from any damage by the running of other tracks on the street. Mr. Archibald Greenlees said that he thought it was unfortunste that ever authority had been given to lay even two tracks on Water street,and he suggested that the present bill be so amended as to forbid beyond a doubt ever laying more than two tracks on the road. He thought the wording of the present bill am- biguous in that respect. : IN FAVOR OF THE BILL. Mr. F. P. B. Sands spoke for the bill in the absence of Mr. Jos. 8. Miller, attorney for the Norfolk and Western. who is ill. Mr. Sands said the bill as it stood today was exactly as had been agreed upon after a number of hear- ings at which all interests concerned had been heard. The Dill, be said, bad passed the House in the last Congress’ and they were expecting the concurrence of the Senate. It was understood then that the bill met the approval of all the Baltimore and Ohio railroad officials, the canal company and all. In reply to questions by Commissioner Dong- Ines and Capt. Rossell Mr. Sands said that the Tightson the Virginia side were already se- cured and work was delayed only on aceountof the delay in the passage of this act. They had not decided yet on the exact location of the terminus on the Virginia side, for’ the reason that the moment they did and it became known they would unable to secure the land required at a fair price.- They were waiting until their rights on this side bad been secured by the paskage of the bill under Consideration. Magruder asked whether he was Mr. Jobn H. right in inferring from Mr. Hamilton's re- marks that the interests Mr. Hamilton repre- sented did not object to the Norfolk and West- ern enter.ag Georgetown by way of the barge company's tracks. ‘Mr. Hamilton said that he thought the on! way they could do it was by arrangement wi the barge company. Whatever objection the barge company might have would avail noth- ing, ae Maks doctor required that they should ive the use of the tracks to other roads soek- ‘an entrance that way into the city.
