TIE srRIKsRs.
"Weu, what's the news ?" inquired a
RECORD UNION representative Of one Of the
strikers yesterday.
Not much. We hear that the company
paid II in San Francisco yesterday. The
truly loyal drew enormous salaries. One man
drew $3.50 Tor his months work, and all the
faithful wsfo proportionately rewarded by
the company. The strikers wers also paid
what was due then whsn they struck. We
haven't ba n paid here yet, as Mr., Beardsley
bas been kept seventeen or eighteen hours
day in The operating department, and hasn't
had time 20 make cut the payroll, We will
probably get what Is due as tomorrow"
How about the meeting last night :"
That was immense, and we appreciate it
thoroughly. We have sent copies OF to-day's
RECORD UNION al over the country. There
were few errors in come of the statements
made By the speakers, but that was to be ex-
pected. I should be undarstood that the
salaries Of I'D clasJ5s Of Operators were
higher CT this coast than they are East,
snd IN some o.her respects they were better
treated. Mr.. Johnson put ON. case very
fairly, when lie ssid that the three cardinal
points q our demands were: First
S hours for days work, and hours for
nights work; second, extra pay for all Sun
day work; and third, equal pay Tor equal
work TO- bosh s7xss The advance in wages
was more needed East than here, especially
by the lcw5r 8alaried men and women. There
were o few cep5o1aby low salaries IN this
State, one of which was in this city, In
that instance is wss formerly psid ts lady.
When sh .sif she position was taken by the
present iIczmbent, who could get nothing
betbsr at the time, and the company would
not increase IT, although he had a family to
support. TIE fact is, the wage question
could have bsen compromised satisfsc sorily
to both sides. # Che management had given
our representatives. hearing. But when
those representatives were figurative'y kicked
out by General Eckert, there was but one
Courss left that the operators could take with
self-respeot, and they took it.
81 sec that Rufus Hatch says he viii IN.
dertske to produces 80, 900 operators in thirty
days" remarked the reporter.
Z" If Rufus Hatch said that, he is more OF
Q iackass than has been supposed. II would
be as easy TO educate q compositor, photo
grapher OF pianist In thirty days, SO a teleg-
rapher. Such talk is simply absurd"
RAILROAD BRDaR BURNED.-The railroad
bridge across the Truckee river at Camp &c,
twenty. two miles east OF the town Of Truckee,
was entirely destroyed by fire on Wednesday
night. This Waterman stationed at the bridge
followed freight train No. going west across
the bridge, and everything was ali right.
When he arrived ct his cabin, short dis
lance from the bridge, he locked back, and
the latter YVES in flames. Railroad men are
of the opinion that the fire originated from
spark from the train that had just crossed.
The bridge was 204 feet in length, and one Of
the best on the Truckse river. Two special
trains bearing timbars were immediately dis
patched from this city, and bridge msterial
has also beea forwarded from Truckee.
The railroad company have 150 men on the
ground, clearing away the debris and build
ing Temporary foot bridge, over which pas
sengsrs, baggage and mails ara being trans
ferred. L. Is thought, with the materials at
hand and the fOrce of men on the ground,
that Q temporary bridge will be constructed
within the next twensy-four hours, which will
answer the purpose until the bridge can be
rebuilt. The d lst-bound passenger train Rss
DELAYED several hours in consequence of the
transfer, and tbs West bound train, due here
at 1880 P. n Vss.erdny, did not arrive until 9
o'clock. Fae same delays will be experienced
to-dEy, and possibly tomorrow. Seventeen
car loads Of fruit, en- route to Denver and
break. Three car leads lett here yesterday by
the Southern route.

found guilty. He desired 20 have sentence
deferred until This morning, and his request
was granted. Daniel Gardiner, who was ar
rested q lev days siuce by Health Officer
Fesral for violating the health ordinance, IN
having foul vault on his | street premises,
came into Court, waved jury, was tried snd
found guilty. From the evidence given l.
appears thst Mr. Gardiner has, since his ar
rest, covered up and otherwise abated tie
nuisence. fie will be sentenced to-day. The
Court read the law in regard to such viola
tions Of the health ordinance, which says
that fine OF $500 and imprisonment also can
be imposed. He intimsted that he should
punish severely all persons convicted Of vio-
lating the health ordinance, as it was not q
matter tbat affected one individual, but the
health Of the entire city was impaired by
such violations.
A JUDICIAL PoLIcEMAN.-Wednssda
afternoon IS Judge Henry was passing
through Fifth street, between j and K, he
rather Unexpectedly came upon what APP
psared to be q frst-class smuggling match.
The comba.ants were B. Roach and Dick

scratch for tue third round, when the Judge
(no policeman, of course being in the neigh
borhood) intsrfered, stopped the fight, ar
rested the pasiiists, and marched them to
the stasion-aouse. They st first refused
to 70 With hia Honor, and asked to see
his star. When they were informed that
they vera arrested by the Court, they &C.
Qliescsd and marched off with the Judge,
without further parlsy. Yesterday they
were tried befage Justice Tubhs, acting as
Police Judge and both found guilty. David
son was fined 81 80 and Roach will appear

An IMPRovnfESr.-rhe Woodlond Dsnlo-
crat says: THE Western Union have
adopted the plsn Of sending their dispatches
through the United States mail. This is
much needed improvement, and supplies
want which has been felt ever since the
strike When it becomes generally known
thst the telegraph company has withdrawn
points, Co keep up appearances at the main
offices where press dispatches pass through,
parties desiring to send dispatches viii take
it into their heads TO send st once by msil in
stead Of paying telegraph rates, under the inn
preston it is to go by telegraph ana finally S.
certain that il reached its destination through
Uncle Sans mail-bsgs. Time and expert
ence will right many things.
