Men On Their Way to Take the Places Of
Arkansas Pass Strikers Attacked.

Men On Their Way to Take the Places Of
Arkansas Pass Strikers Attacked.
There is great excitement in railroad circles
in Arkansas over the election of car load of
'scab" railway employees at Argenta, who were
on their way from indianapolis and Louisville
to Arkansas Pass to relieve the strike on the
San Antonio and Arkansas Pass railway.
At 1890 yesterday morning a crowd Of
several hundred men. chiefly railroad employees,
we're at the Fort Smith aud Iron Mountain
crossing when the cannon BALI from StLous
steamed in. No sooner had the train arrived
when burly man with black SLOUGH hat
cried out to the crowd: "Cut the hose and
we'll drop the car OUT
A hundred men rushed to do his bidding, the
hose was cut and the car with, another sleeper
in the rear, was cut out When the train
started for Little Rock the mob having ne
elected to cut the bell cord the engineers bell
rang and he stopped the train. by this time
all the engines in the yard began to blow and
it seemed as if Bedlam had broken loose.
A hundred men rushed into the fated sleeper,
driving the occupants, some forty telegraph
operators, machinists and brakemen, thor
oughly alarmed, from the car and into the
swamps hundred feet beyond. Most of them
were driven into pond, through which they
foundered. followed by their Infatuated pur-
suers. The sleepers were recoupled to the
train and it crossed the, river into Little Rock
where another crowd of men boarded the car,
and with knives cut to pieces ali the baggage of
the unfortunate ''scabs," tossing it through the
car windows into the yards.
J. c. Littefeld, who was in charge of the
party of "scabs, and several of his compan-
ions who escaped the mob, having taken refuge
in the rear sleeper. took train for Texas,
while the other members OF the party are hid
den in the swamps, awaiting an opportunity to
escape. The railroad authorities are enraged
at this action OF their employees. The various
labor and railroad unions are strong In their
sympathy for their striking brothers in Texas
and it is fortunate that none Of the party sent
to take their places received no serious per-
sonal injury.

Natural Causes Might Have Been the Origin
of the Explosion.


of the Explosion.
The excitement caused by the explosion on
Thursday at Dublin castle has somewhat
abated. but the air of mystery maintained by
the police and castle officers does not tend TO dis
pei the alarming rumors circulated in connec-
ton with tho affair.
Dynamite. gun cotton and gunpowde- have
each been classed as being beyond any doubt
the explosive used in the explosion which took
place under the finance Office, and Fenians.
cranks and the police themselves have each
been credited with having caused the damage.
As fact. however, nobody would he astonished
| if it should turn out eventually to be nothing
more than an explosion caused by escaping
gas, and due to the carelessness Of some OF
| the workmen who, as already stated, were EN-
ployed in repairing the premises near the spot
where the explosion is supposed to have been
ignited.
On the other hand, Maj. Cuudill, an inspector
of explosives, who has been examining the
scene OF the explosion, says that he has not
quite mnde up his mind as to the nature Of the
explosive or explosives used. He saws that 1t
| is probable that two different kinds of eX-
plosivcs we're used, and that the explosion was
brought out by the use of time fuses.
Maj .bCundih will remain at Dublin for week
engaged in the work Of tracing the cause of the
explosion and in preparing . report upon the
subject. A number of Scotland Yard detectives
arrived yesterday morning. and are assisting
the local police in their endcavors to solve the
mystery Of the explosion Additional sig
nificance is given by some persons to the &C.
| currence Of Thursday by tho fact that the new
chief secretary for Ireland, the Right Hon. VIM.
Lawless jackson, wrs on o visit to the castle
when the startling affair happened. This has
caused a rumor to the effect that the explosion
was designed to intimidate him, to be spread
broadcast There il no doubt that the castle
| authorities have been alarmed by the smash-up,
for the extra police placed on duty about the
public buildings Thursday night have not been
| removed, and the fact that the special yard
| men have been sent seems to show that the au-
thorities are not convinced that leakage of
| gas caused all the trouble.

Mexican forces in New Laredo has received
telegram from down the river on the Mexican
side which stated that fight had occurred on
this side and that two soldiers of the United
States had been killed. The loss to the revo-
iutionists was not given.

zens OF this section is that Cara is making

forces are being largely reinforced. From a
view of all the facts brought TO light TO date it
is the general opinion that the movement is
fur thered by a strong secret power,
and that CARA is used as blind

only three hours behiad, but did not come up
with them after the revoiutionists had the
skirmish with the rurals.
The revolltionists broke for the river and were
pursued by the Mexican cavalry. Mai. Esaui-
bet, commanding troops at Guerrero, Mexico,
sent q courier over 10 Capt HarGie asking him
TO move his company further down the river,
as GarZa's men were making for the other side.

GRIP TAKES a NEW TURN.
1t Has Begun to Affect Iiorses in San Fran.
cisco-Otiier Cities.

1t Has Begun to affect Horses in San Fran
cisco-Other Cities.
SAN Francisco, jar. 2.-The grip, which has
been prevalent here this winter, has begun to
affect horses, and large numbers Of
them are sick. Infirmaries for animals
are filled with sick horses. No large
stables have as yet been seriously
affected. the disease being most prevalent in
the small stables OF private individuals. The
appearance OF the disease in horses Is marked
by disinclination for food. rough coat, re-
pugnance for water in the early stages
and feverish appetite for it later,
running at the eyes and finally swell
ing of the glands of the nose, throat and other
respiratory organs. The disease seems to be
confined to San Francisco and vicinity, as no
cases have been reported from the lntercOast
states. Unless the disease is checked the swell
ing and accumulation of pus closes the tubes
of the throat and suffocation ensues.
CHICAGO. Jan. "A special from indianapolis
says: There is considerable alarm felt in this
city over the prevalence of the grip. 1t seems
to be sparIng but few persona Ply
sicians say there is scarcely L family
in indianapolis in which some person
is not under treatment. and hundreds of per-
sons have the disease who have not gone to q
doctor for treatment. There have not been a
great many deaths from it until this week,
but since Monday morning physicians
have been making daily returns Of deaths from
the malady. The persons who died were nearly
all old Or those who had been in bad health be-
fore contracting the disease. These deaths re-
ported are for grip without complications.
Many persons are dying from diseases which
have been made worse by the grip. The ply
