MICHIGAN AGROUND ON THE ROCKS Workmenat Pullman Not Disturbed py the Strikers. JUDGE BERNARD DEAD A BRAVE EXPRESS MESSENGER. An Attempt to Hold Up a Trai Masked Man. ST. LOUIS, Mo., August 3.—An unsuccess- ful attempt was made last night to hold up train No. 3, on the St. Louis and San Fran- cisco road. The train left the union depot in St. Louis at 8:25 p.m. in charge of Con- ductor Mansfield. About 9:30, just before the train reached Eureka, in St. Louis coun- ty, thirty miles from the city, Wells Fargo Express Messenger Ferguson started to go from the car, in which he was at work, to the one immediately in the rear, when he was confronted at the docr by a masked man with a drawn revolver, who ordcred him to throw up his hands. Ferguson drew his revolver and commenced shooting. The robber returned the fire and sent one bullet through the messenger’s shoulder, and through his hand. He then jumped from the train and escaped. He is undoubtedly wounded. He made no attempt to secure any of the money in the car. He was prob- ably scared off by the bravery of the ex- press messenger. The injured man was taken to Pacific, five miles west of Eureka, where his wounds were dressed, and his car transferred to another man. It js believed that more than one man was interested in the attempted robbery. Just before reaching Eureka a bomb exploded unjer the wheels of the é1 gine. This was the signal to stop, and at this peint the robber’s confederates would have bearded the train. But when the mes- senger started toward the rear car, the robber on the platform found {t necessary to begin business at once, and the plans of the gang were frustrated. The train, after proceeding a short dis- tance from the scene of the shooting, met with another mishap, which ts regarded as part of a prearranged plan to wreck and rob the train. Near Eureka station an explosion took place in front of the engine, supposed to have been caused by dynamite. The headlight was extinguished, the pilot partly blown away, and other parts of the front end of the engine damaged, but no- body hurt. When the train reached Pacific, Mo., Her- man Lowry, Henry Cullen and Downey Stewart, who were riding on the blind bag- Sage, were taken into custody on suspicion of being implicated in the attempted hold up. The men, who were unarmed, stated gern they were railroad employes stealing a ride. by a ——_—_ THE MICHIGAN AGROUND. She is Reported to Be on the Rocks Near Corport. AMHERSTBURG, Ont, August 3.—The U. S. S.

It was thought she would work herself cff in a short time, but the wind stiffened up and it is now blowing a gale from the northeast. The tug Home Rule went to her this morning with a light- er to remove her guns ard coal. ws has just reached here that she is in bad shape and is on the rocks about eighteen inches amidships. ——— THE HAWAIIAN SITUATION. Views of an Honolulu Business Man Recently From the Islands. ST. LOUIS, August 3.—Direct from Hono- lulu, Hawaii, Messrs. E. D. Tenny and Alex- ander Young are in St. Louis, guests of the Southern Hotel. They left Honolulu July They will remain here several days on and New York. Mr. Young, who is manager of the Honolulu Iron Works Company, talking with a reporter about Hawatian affairs said the royalists are very quiet and give no evi- dence of plotting. “In fact,” said he, “there are not over two dozen men who control the native royalist sentiment. The masses are inert, improvident, indifferent. If left to themselves the majority of them would have taken the oath of allegiance to the provis- fonal government and taken part in the election of delegates to tbe constitutional convention. Seven-eighths of the property interests of the islands were represented at business, then go to Washington the polls. The election for senators and representatives, which will be held soon, will be under the same registration, in which the natives are not well represented, owing to the fact that the leaders would not allow them to take the oath of allegt- ance. The oath of allegiance to the constt- tutior government will, of course, be ex- acted of all who desire to vote in any future elections.” —_ MOVEMENT OF TROOPS, Progress « the Armed Forces in Mearagua and Brazil. NEW YORK, August 8.—Steamer Ber- muda, which arrived this morning from Greytown, brings news of a special nature. All that could be learned was that a large body of Nicaraguan troops were moving on Blueftelds from the interior. The Bermuda's passengers knew nothing as to the exact condition of affairs at Bluefields, LONDON, August 3.—The Brazilian lega- tion in this city says that there is no truth in the story cabled trem Buenos Ayres on Aucust 1 to the effect that 3.000 insurgent troops are marching upon Port Alegre, the capital of the state of Rio Grande do Sul. The legation officials say that, on the con- trary, the insurgents are fleeing before the government troups. ———— WORK AT PULLMAN. Conviction of Railroad Employes Charged With Delaying the Maris. CHICAGO, IIL, August 3.—The force of men at the Pullman shops was increased todsy and at noon 552 men were at work. The company expects to have %) men on duty Monday, but few of the workmen are members of the A. R. U. No demonstra- tions were made by the strikers and no vtolence was offered the men at work. DENV=R, Col. August 3.—In the United States district court yesterday seven Grand Junction raflroad men were convicted by a jury of delaying the matis by refus handle trains in which there were Pull care. Judge Hallett fined them $10 and costs each. His leniency surprised the A. R. U. men who had watched the trial close- ly. A large number of Trinidad strikers will now be tried. ——— Denth of Judge Bernard. Special Dispatch to The Evening Star. PETERSBURG, Va., August 3.—Judge D. M. Bernard of the corporation court of Petersburg was taken suddenly ill with apoplexy this morning at 5 o'clock and died at 10:15. His death was a great shock to the community, as he was at his office last evening. The deceased was born in Peters- burg, was about fifty-four years of age and had been practicing law here for the past twenty years. He was elected by the state legislature fudge of the corporation court | of this city and qualified as such on the 2ist of January, ISS6, and has held ¢ office ever since.’ He served in the late war between the states in the twelfth Virginia regiment an] was a gallant soldier. ‘The deceased leaves a widow and four childre: SPECIAL NOTICES. _ The Union Savings Bank, 1222 F Street N.

Allen R. Hood of Alabama at the Metropolitan last night. ‘There is still an- other of the leading members of that body alive in the person of John A. Bingham of Obio. Judge Bingham was for many years a Representative in Congress from Ohio and was afterward made minister to Japan, where he served for a long time. Twenty- five years or so ago the old Washington House at 3d street ard Pennsylvania avenue was quite a favorite hotel with politicians and members of Congress. Bingham lived there during his service in the House, and it used to be a matter of common. report among the guests that every now and then the Ohio Congressman would suffer from an attack of nervous terror, brought on, so it was devoutly believed by the people in th: house, by visits of Mrs. Surratt’s ‘haunt.’ “There is no doubt of William Y. Atkin- son's election es governor of Georgia, id Newell Gregg of Milledgeville at the Na- tional Hotel this morning. “I am aware that there has been a tendency in the north- west to look upon the populists in Georgia as being able to throw some doubt on the issue of the impending gubernatorial elec- tion. The followers of the Tom Watson School of politics down in cur state, how- ever, are deficient in two extremely neces- sary qualities—numerical and intellectual strength. Neither is there so much demo- cratic disaffection in Georgia as certain dis- appointed politicars would have the country to believe. We always have pretty hot times down there over nominations, but the Geor- gla democracy ts very much like a man and his wife who are addicted to quarreling. They can raise the dickens with each other to their heart's content, but they will jump on a third party who tries to Interfere with tooth and toe nail. Georgla is all right in every way, and we are going to have an exposition that will open the eyes of the country as sure as you are a foot high.” “I was reading a very interesting article recently in a foreign medical revew on the subject of apples,” said Dr. G. R. Searles of Brooklyn at the Arlington yesterday. “The apple is such common fruit that very few persons are familiar with its remarkably efficacious medicinal properties. Everybody ought to know about this, however, and everybody ought to know that the very best thing they can do ts to eat apples just be- fore retiring for the night. Persons uniniti- ated in the mysteries of the fruit are liable to throw up their hands in horror at the vistons of dyspepsia which such a sugges- tion may summon up, but no harm can come to even a delicate system by the eat- ing of ripe and juicy apples just before go- ing to bed. The «pple is an excellent brain food, because {t contains more phosphoric acid in easily digestible shape than any other vegetable known. It excites the ac- ton of the liver, promotes sound and healthy sleep and thoroughly disinfects the mouth. This is not all. The apple agglu- tinates the surplus acids of the stomach, helps the kidney secretions and preven calculus growths, while it obviates indiges- tion and ts one of the best preventives known of diseases of the throat. Everybody should be familiar with such knowledge, and I hope you will help disseminate it.” You doubtless noticed the general publi- cation, some time ago, of an article describ- ing the great glut of horses in the north- west, and pa:ticularly in Montana,” said Paul 8. Wells of Columbus, at the Riggs House this morning. “I have had some ex- perience of recent years in the buying and selling of horses, and I venture the remark that in no form of property has the value decreased so greatly as in horses. The prices, too, are growing lower every day. One great reason for the overstocking of the market has been the introduction of cables and electricity on the street car lines | In various citi horse power th Under the oid system of sands of animals were used up every year by the companies, and there Was always a steady demand for strong horses of fairly good appearance. It didn't take long for street car work to kill a hors: ether. The introduction of the new style of strece car propulsion has taken away about the liveliest branch of the horse trade in this country, and I hardly exaggerate when I say that the cables and troll have done away with the services of over 100,000 horses a year.” “Absinthe drinking ts increasing largely in this country,” said George C. Miner of Philadelphia Wormley’s last at the livid green liquid death go up sub- stantially, while it is now being manu- fectured largely in this country. The chief ingredient of the liquor is the twigs and leaves of Wormwood, but ubsinthe may be described as a redistillation of alcoholic spirits, to which the volatiie oils of worm- wood, together with the extracts of other aromatic herbs, are mixed up to give it final character. It is one of the most ef- fective febrifuges known, and its medicinal use for this purpo®e during the Algerian war, when the French army was attacked by the deadly African fey led to its so- clal use and to its becoming a favorite and fashionable tipple. It is als> a sure death to certain kinds of small animal life that sometimes infest the human intestines, but {ts continued use as a beverage means dis- aster, mental and bodily. Just now the ab- sinthe cocktail is a favorite bracer at north- ern watering places. It is made with a lit- Ue whisky, a little sugar, a dash of bitters and plenty of iced absinthe. This drink is the quickest nerve killer known, and it has almost entirely taken the place once occu. pied by the frapped absinthe.” —~— THE COURTS, Equity Court No. 2, Judge Bradley.

SECOND BATTLE OF MARSHALL Soldiers Postpone Target Practice to Dig Potatoes. + SOME CAMP NOTES ee The second battle of Marshall Hall has been fought. Again within three days the green lawns, where in former days the noble red man held pow-wows and smoked the pipe of peace, have been stained an imaginary carmine hue with imaginary blood. Gal- lant soldiers have fearlessly waged war, not for thelr country’s honor, but for the championship of Camp Blake, and also largely for the amusement of thousands of interested spectators. The sham battle which took place yester- day afternoon between the first and second provisional battalions, comprising the pro- visional regiment of troops of the District of Columbia National Guard under com- mand of Maj. Otto L. Suess, now quartered at Marshall Hall, was a vast and wonder- ful improvement ‘over the exhibition given on Tuesday evening, the result being due no doubt to the experience gleaned during the first contest, and also during a rehearsal held in the early morning hours yesterday Fully 6,000 persons surrounded the drill field at 6:80 o'clock when “adJutant’s” call sounded and the ten companies marched Into view to prove that they know a thing or two about the ceremonies of dress parade and saluting the colors. When parade was dismissed preparations for the mighty strife began. The first battalion, under Maj. Columbus, remained on the field at battalion front, while Maj. Story’s command march- ed to camp and donned white helmets in place of fatigue caps. The spectators were not kept long in waiting, however, for soon the sound of a bugle was heard in the dis- tance and Maj. Columbus sent out a num- ber of sharpshooters,who took positions be- hind the small bushes growing on the lawn. Then the battalion was thrown out at ex- A Brave Stand, tended order. After a moment of quiet the sharpshooters poured a few stray shots at @ number of white-helmeted skirmishers moving about among the crees. ‘The fire was returned instantly, but Maj. Columbus’ men, not daunted thereby, moved forward at double time, firing as they ran, which caveed great consternation among the sp tators nearby, The advance was suddenly stopped, however, by a battalion fire from che cover of the trees and the attacked party retreated, but y for a mom | “Forward!” shouted Maj.

In the midst of the fray a white handkerchief attached to a sword was waved aloft from the ranks of the Columbus men, a bugle sounded and the sirlfe was at an end. Amid yells of yic- tory the men wearing white helmets took thelr proper placcs in the battalion. At that moment Maj.

Parsons, commanding company A, sixth battalion, has issued a challenge for an open-to-all squad drill in the manual of arms, The contest is to oc- cur after dress parade tomorrow evening, the squads to consist of not less than eight men. The championship of Camp Blake is involved, and all day yesterday and today Lieut who was ment in his ¢ ver dering on the | trary did lHkewise, and the two armies, for | men have been constar tly drilling in every compeny street. The competition is expect- ed to prove very exciting. The usual camp routine was observed throughout yesterday, with the exception that a number of companies asked Maj. Suess for permission to hold extra drills. As this work was in addition to the regular battalion and company drills of the day the major feels highly gratified at the in- terest shown by the men. Rice pudding, sirup, bread, butter and coffee were on the menu list for the day. A number cf the men, for some reason un- known, were not rerved with rice pudding, and they ertered complaint to the major, who immediately proceeded to the kitchen. “Open up that canned becf,” ordered thé commandant of the camp to the col- ored cocks and wait- ers. “These men have got to have all they want and to be ready for dress parade in h\dust ten minutes.

As a matter of fact there have not been more than ten misses recorded on the targets dur- ing the week, and even those were but a few feet wide. The regulars who have been practicing on the same range cut the tar- get frames so badly that new ones were required before the militla arrived.
