Railroad Men Threatening.

PITTsBURG, Pa, April 23.-Grand Master
Gilkeson, of the brotherhood of train men,
has been in consultation with a mass meet,
ing in Knights of Labor hall, The men have
grown bolder in the presence of their leaders
and say they can stop all trains from New
York to Chicago unless the sixteen points
presented in their grievances are conceded
them. The railroads have conceded all but
five of these points, but the most impOrtan,
one of wages remains to be settled. AL
though all lines entering the city are running
smoothly, the men are becoming defiant over
the efforts of Railroad Detective John Morris
and local detectives to center non-union men
here in order to anticipate a strike. Tele-
grams from outside, however, say many men
are afraid of Pittsburg in the event of big
strike. Gilkeson is still talking to the men
in secret conference, though it is said the
ruling sentiment is arbitration and cOnces-
sion, as the railroads seem willing to give
way to q certain extent.

A Riot at Chicago,

CHICAGO, April 24.-Some non-union car
penters were put to work on Wallace street.
near Fffty-third. The strikers picket re-
ported the facts and a committee of union
men was sent to persuade them to quit. The
carpenters to the number of about 100 joined
the committee, and when arguments failed
to induce the non-unionists to quit work the
crowd began jeering them and riot followed.
Police Sergeant Begler interfered, when he
was set upon and beaten by the strikers. An
alarm was sent to the nearest police station
and a detachment of police was sent out and
succeeded in arresting about 80 of the rioters.
The non-union men in the meantime dropped
their tools and fed.

KANSAS CITY, Mo-, April 24.-The Stars
Atchison correspondent is authority for the
statement that J. n. Reynolds has obtained
an option on the Champion for sixty days,

spicuous here in local affairs for several
years. He was at one time at the head of a

Earthouake in California.

San Francisco, CAL.-One of the most Sc
we're shocks of earthquake experienced here
for long time was felt in the city and neigh
borhoOd little after $50 o'clock Thursday
morning. The buildings were shaken per-
ceptibly and persons aroused from their
sleep. Plastering fell from the walls in
places, but no serious damage has been re-
ported yet.
A dispatch from Mayfield says that the
shock was very severe there. The railroad
bridge was rendered impossible, as the piers
(sixty feet high settled a few inches, and the
rails spread apart about a foot. The ground
in some places settled six to twelve inches.
Railroad travel will be delayed a. few hours.
LATER NEWS.
San FRANCIsCo.-The earthquake, which
was felt here, was general in this section of
the state. The shock was very sharp in this
city, but no serious damage was done. The
walls of a few houses, including the United
States appraisers building, in which the fed
eral courts are held, were cracked, and there
was considerable alarm felt by persons who
were aroused from sleep. The most serious
damage is reported from Pajara, where the
railroad bridge was thrown two feet out of
line and the approaches to it damaged. Gas
mains were disjolnted at GilrOy, and many
chimneys thrown down in the neigborhood
of Watsonville. In some localities as many
as dozen distinct shocks were felt.

THERE is general and quite natural
feeling in Los Angeles that something
ought to be done to insure the passage
of an appropriation for the federal
building in this city. 1t is the misfor-
tune of this community to have an
apathetic representative in congress, but
our population is so unique in its COM
position, and so representative of all
portions OF the United States, that a
little effort on the part of individuals
would probably result in great good.
Gen. Clunie may be relied upon to stand
in cordially in any movement looking to
our well-being, but his efforts should be
seconded from as many influential direc-
tions as possible. The great chasm
made by Gen. Vandever's neglect must
be filled from some quarter.
Los Angeles herald., 1890-06-25

SOUTHERN CALIFORNIA is finely served
in her representatives in congress. Stan
ford, who could have saved the clause
in the tariff bill relieving from the in
ternal revenue tax grape spirits used in
the fortifcation of sweet wines, is alb
sent in Europe, and that provision, of
the last Importance to every vigneron in
the state, is killed in committee; and
Vandever's absence or inefficiency-it
matters not which-jeopardizes the pas
sage of the appropriation to finish the
federal building in this city. In view of
our experience this session it should be
the object OF both parties to select men
of capacity, energy and fidelity to duty
to represent us in the house, and we
should lend all our efforts to send to the
senate a successor to Mr.. Stanford who
will be able and willing to attend to the
business of his constituents. Such
man as Stephen M. White in the senate
would be of incalculable value not only
to our section, but to the whole state.

A WHILE ago the EGominer issued an

day the Chronicle came out with sixty
pages. In the name of the great Jumbo
jun, what does a newspaper reader
want with such paper? Life is too
short to read it and keep abreast of the
times in other matters. The time will
come when the people, dazed and sur
feited with the mammoth dailies now is
sued, will make loud call for a paper
that will give all the news of the day in a
concise shape. As it is, one has to wade
through an ocean of matter of no present
interest to find what is really going on
that one wants to know about. Mark the
prediction The reaction from the
mammoth daily will be to finger sheet
containing nothing but actual news,
boiled down to the most compact pro-
portions; and these will be issued dur
ing the day in hourly editions as fast as
the news comes over the wires. Trade
papers will get all the advertisements
excepting the wants" and special and

A Matter of Interest to Travellers

Tourists, emigrants and mariners find that
Hostetters stomach Bitters is medicinal
safeguard against unhealthy influences, upon
which they can implicitly rely, since it pre-
vents the effects that an unhealthy climate,
vitiated atmosphere, unaccustomed or un-
wholesome diet, bad water or other conditions
unfavorable to health, would otherwise
produce On long voyages, or journeys by
land in latitudes adjacent to the equator, it is
especially useful as a preventive of the febrile
and bowels, which are apt to attack natives of
the temperate zones sojourning or travelling
in such regions, and is an excellent protection
against the influence of extreme cold sudden
changes OF temperature exposure to damp OF
extreme fatigue. 1t not only prevents inter
mittent and remittent fever, and other diseases
of malaral type, but eradicates them, a fact
which has been notorious for years past in
North and South America, Mexico, the West
Indies, Australia and other countries.

For THE first time in long while the
police authorities of San Francisco are
showing some backbone, and in a laud-
able direction. They seem to have set
out in earnest to stop the slogging
matches that for so long a time have
been disgrace to the metropolis of the
Pacific coast. The extent to which a
lot of brutal prize-fghters have been al
lowed to go at the Golden Gate was one
of the scandals of the day. If the au-
thorities will go further and put these
gentry in the chain-gang as fast as they
develop disposition to punch each
others heads the public at large
will breathe fervent hosannah. For
one reader of newspapers who cares to
peruse intelligence of this kind, there
are at least ten who are unspeakably
disgusted at its frequent and nauseous
recurrence. If the police will only con-
tinue the good work, they will earn alb
solution for many shortcomings. 1t is q
great pity that the court sitting at Pur-
Wis, Mississippi, contented itself with
only inficting fine of $500 on John L.
Sullivan for participating in the Sulli
van-Kilrain fight, instead of sending
him to the penitentiary fora around term.
