MORE MOLDERS.
Thirteen Arrive Last Night From
the East.

The headquarters of the striking molders
on Second street was unusually quite all
day yesterday. The conversation was di-
vided in interest between the recent action
looking toward arbitration with the En-
gineers' and Iron Founders Association
and the prospective arrival of dozen nom
union molders from the East.
The Eastern men, who arrived last night,
were gathered up in Rochester, Philadel-
phia, Reading, Detroit and Chicago. One
of the molders said, "they must have
raked the whole East with a fine comb to
find them"
They were reported from point to point
as they crossed the continent, and prepara-
tions on large scale were made to receive
them, and their movements closely watched.
At Sacramento several of the union men
interested in the strike jumped the train,
and everything went along Serenely until
about half way to Port Costa, when the
train was cut into two sections and tine part
on which the molders were aboard was left
on the track.
Advance pickets from the striking mold
ers went to Benicia and boarded the train.
At Selby the whole party was transferred
to tug and brought across the bay, where
they landed at II 80 O'Clock last night and
were taken directly to the Union Iron
Works.
They were met by the union strikers in
small boats, but no effort was made to stop
the tug, as it was rumored that they would.
The announcement that they had arrived
was made by telephone at the headquarters
of the unionistS near midnight. A large
number OF strikers were present, but did
not appear in the least disheartened by the
news.
A donation of $50 was received by the
strikers yesterday from the lron-molders'
Union, No. 15S, at Seattle.
The nOn-union molders employed in the
Risdon Iron Works yesterday carried out
their intention of going and out of the
without the protection of the police. Here
tOfore it has been claimed by the men at
work in the f0undres that they could not
go abroad without protection, as they feared
violence from the strikers. They have,
however, become tired of being cooped up
ard declare that they will go where they
please and will protect themselves if any
violence is offered them.
Yesterday morning the RisdOn men went
out together. There were few union
pickets around but no words were passed,
nor was any attempt made to modest the
non-unon men. The latter kept together,
though, and walked up town.
The nOn-union molders employed in the
National Iron Works were given an airing
in the Park yesterday by Captain Callun-
dan.
Reserve details of police were on duty
last night at the downtown stations ready
for action in case any disturbance occurred
between the union and non-union iron
mOlders. Captain Short made a visit to the
different foundries at o'clock last night
and found everything very quiet. None of
the union picketS were seen by him.

SWALLOWED POISON.
End of Louis d. J. SOlscher, a
BOOk-Keeper.

A general WEAKNESS of every thing per-
tanning to life was what caused Louis d. j.
Solscher, German, about 40 years of age,
to commit suicide on Saturday night at COZ
Mlnna street by taking poison.
Solscher had worked in several wholesale
houses in this city during the past four
pert book keeper. Lately he was out of
work and became disheartened because he
was unable to find employment
H. went into interior towns, but was I'M
successful in his search, and returned to
the city. Two weeks ago he took lodgings
at COZ Minna street. the home of Michael
Noisin, a singer employed at the 1IYoll.
For several days afterward he was i'll and
was nursed by Mrs. Voisin. He said he
was married, and spoke of bringing his
wife to the house. He did not do so. how
ever, nor did he talk about his wife again.
About week ago he fell into very mel
anehuly mood, and took to drinking to ex-
cess. On Friday he came home intoxicated
and retired TO his room. That was the last
seen of him alive. A woman in the house
says that on Friday night about 10 o'clock
she heard groans in Solschers room, and
supposed he was suffering from the effects
of drink.
AS he did not appear on Saturday night
Mr.. NoiSin broke open the door OF the
room and SOlScher was found lying In bed
| dead. On a table near by was four-ounce
vial containing some colorless liquid, which
smellrd like chloroform or ether. There
were also some envelopes and sheets of
| note paper lying on the table. No letters
were found though, and ii he wrote any
farewell messages he must have posted
:hem. He had removed all his clothing and
placed it away III neat order, and then,
after getting into bed, drawn the. covers
tightly round him and gone of in his final
sleep.
1t was stated by Mr.. Yoisin that Solscher
had expected to get work in Tacoma and
was to have left for that place on Saturday.
His spree, however, prevented his depart
ure.
S0lscher left a large quantity of letters
and private papers, which were taken pos
session of by the Coroner. The letters
were nearly all in German, and are from
his wife and relatives in Germany. Many
are from Hamburg.
SOlscher was married in this city in 1881,
and as near as can be learned he and his
wife cid not get on well together. He did
not support her, and She was obliged to
leave him. She is now in Tulare, earning
her own living.
An autopsy will be made on the body
to-day, and the drug in the vial which was
found In the room will be analysed in order
tn determine what IL is
