Guard
NEW BRIDGE AT NIAGARA

AUBURN, N. Y, April 17--John
Johnson, known as the "Blue Niger
From Clyde" ran amuck in the broom
shop of the Auburn prison this morn
ing, armed with a sharp knife used in
cutting broom corn. He first attacked
Charles Peck, fellow convict, leaving
him dead in his tracks Next he fatally
stabbed Daniel Britten, convict, and
seriously wounded several others. The
blade entered Britten's stomach, and
he now lies in precarious condition i'm
the hospital and it is thought he will
die. johnson stabbed right and left
while at liberty. The blade of the
knife was broken off during the melee,
and cannot be found. He directed a
vicious blow at Keeper Mitchell after
the blade was broken, but did not pen
etrate his clothing. The keeper drew a
revolver. but just as he was about to
pull the trigger somebody hit his arm
and the ball went wide Of the mark
but it frightened Johnson into surren-
dering, however. He was taken to the
prison. Peck came to his death by a
wound in the breast, which penetrated
the heart. The autopsy showed a cash
in the heart in which IA finger could be
inserted. The cause of the trouble is
said to be an old grudge held by John
son against number Of convicts in the
shop. He made threats that soon as
Captain Baker had day of he would
do up the shop. Baker was not on
duty today, and Johnson started in
early to carry his threat into execution.

STRIKE ON UNION PACIFIC

Length of Line

Involves Workmen in Shops the Entire
Length of Line
CHICAGO, April l7-Specials from
Omaha and Denver say: A strike has
been ordered among the boiler makers,
pattern makers, bIacksmiths and moul-
ders in the shops along the entire line
of the Union Pacific system, to take
effect at noon. The trouble has arisen
concerning the reduction of standard
tim eworking days. Last year the COM
pany agreed to 50 reduce the working
force as to permit work of nine hours a
day instead of eight. The company
began violating the agreement in jan
uary, and the men have been unable
to bring about "a restoration. Fully
5000 men are involved in the shops az
Omaha, Denver, Salt Lake, Cheyenne,
Ogden, Portland, Kansas City, Rawl-
ings, Laramie and roundhouse points.
The men are said to be thoroughly or
ganized and united. At a meeting of
the shopmen at Denver yesterday the
conservative element predominated
and resolved to send "a request to officers
of the order at Omaha to have the
strike delayed till committee from
Denver could reach them,

noon from tue effect of gas inhaled in
his room at the Queen City hotel, on
South Second street, Saturday night.
The young man retired about 10 o'clock

presented.
The committee appointed to attend 10

use reported that they had been unable
to accomplish much during the past few
days, so it was decided by the board not
to accept the offer.
Mr.. Trask reported that he had spent
three days at the high school, and was
favorably impressed with it's discipline
and general management.
The committee on the construction OF
buildings reported, suggesting that
number of engagements be made andy
new buildings be erected.
Mr.. Pattee moved that the specialA
writing teacher be dropped after the tirst
OF the year.
Mr.. Stein amended this to the effect
that one of the half day teachers at the
Sand street school oe placed on thee
substitute list and the principal, Mrs.
Dubois teach half day.
Mrs. Hughes thereupon arose and
offered as another amendment that
Messrs. Gooch and Housh OF the High
school faculty be also dropped. This
last amendment was voted down, after
which the original motion, with Mr..
Stein'e amendment, was passed.
This called forth severe denunciation
from Mrs. Hughes, who arraigned the
policy of the solid six. bM "a

NEWS ABOUT THE RAILROADS,
The Southern Pacific Pushing
Its Coast Line.
Vice-President Stubs Announces Re
duced Freight Rates.
Tho Great Cat st Santa MarEaritn- The
Canadian Pacific Wants a DIFF
ferentiai-A Peculiar
Petition.

Months of labor are beginning to tell
at Santa Margarita. The Southern Pa
ciic contractors are pushing things to
speedy completion. From the San Luis
Obispo Tribune is taken the following
account of recent work:
Steady, persistent industry is produc-
ing it's natural results. The deep cuts
and big fills which look so formidable,
and on which the gangs of men with
their teams and plowa and scrapers
seem TO be making no impression, after
few days assume shape and presently
are completed. Little by. little the work
is done, just as much so when it is the
armies of the Southern Pacific company,
as when the phrase describes the strug-
giles Of armies of ants. Certainly there
is no part of the railroad work from the
mouth of the fret tunnel to the southern
limits of the town that does not seem
formidable.
The yards and depot grounds are quite
as difficult to construct as any other pol
tion apparently. Generally railroad
company is able to find sufficient level
ground for euch purposes. but here every
foot has to be graded and the whole
strip, 200 feet wide and mile or more
long, will hsve to be leveled, and the
Job is being tackled with great vigor.
1t looke now like a battlefield, and it ia
one.
The etone abutments for the great
steel bridge 1000 feet long, over STEINER
creek, are being erected, and the work
there is necessarily more massive than
anything yet done in that line. The
bridge itself or its steel parts will be
sent down over the road as isoon as the
rails are laid to that point, two or three
months hence.
The tunnels are being steadily pushed.
work is being done on all of them. On
the big tunnel there is but APO feet now
to do, and at the average rate hitherto
made, AZ days would finish it, but the
ground has not been as favorable lately
and progress has been somewhat slower.
Tunnel No. is practically finished.
The excavating was completed week
ago, all except plug OF four feet in
thickness, which was pierced but is
allowed to stand until it is necessary to
use the tunnel. Asked why, Contractor
Stone explains. that the strong draft
through the tunnel if opened would be
inconvenient. AT all events the ranks
are closing up steadily, and some time
in February the Santa Lucia range, as
an obstacle to railroad travel, will have
been conquered and in all probability
the construction trains will be on this
side of the mountaina and visible from
San Luis Obispo.

A BURGLAR CAPTURED.

John Allen Caught While Robbing q

Another burglar WAS captured at IL
O'Clock last night in Mr.. Lockhart's
millinery store at ALI South Spring
street. This is the store in which the
burglar Fisher was caught several weeks
ago.
The burglar was seen to enter the
same window OF the building
through which Fisher did by @. b.
Smith, nearby resident. Mr.. Fisher
notified Patrolman Henderson, who
captured the burglar after Detectives
Benson and Bosqui had been despatched
from the police Office.
Henderson took the prisoner to the
county Jail instead OF the police station,
giving as reason that his name was
not mentioned in connection with
Fishers capture.
The burglar gave the name OF John
Allen. The jewelry which he stole was

U. P. REORGANIZATION.
General Solicitor Thurston Discusses the
Proposed Plan.

General Solicitor Thurston Discusses the
Proposed Plan.
OMAHA, Dec. 22.-General Solicitor
Thurston OF the Union Pacific, in speak
ing of the scheme of reorganization, said:
"There are many plans for the reorgani-
cation OF the Union Pacific property in
the air. The general scheme, however,
that seems to meet with most favor is
that the Union Pacific proper, together
with those lines which are properly q
part of the system, although classed as
gressional legislation and subjected to
sale under the direction of the court.
The sale ia absolutely necessary and that
q new company be formed that will per-
NIT of fresh start being made. With
reductions made in the fixed interest
charges, the property would be able to
pay interest obligations and the princi-
pal on the government debt, so the gov
ernment security would grow better
every wear, while the liability would
grow constantly less. Should the admin
istration disapprove some features, the
theory of reorganization would have to
be completely discussed over again.

of individuals, and this requires no in
considerable time"
OMAHA. Dec. 22.-General Thurston
says there is no truth in the report that
the Union Pacific intends to take steps
to bring the Gulf road back into the
Overland system. The appointment of
Trumbull is entirely satisfactory.
DENVER Dec. 22.-It is reported that
an effort is on foot by the Union Pacific
to terminate the Gulf receivership and
bring the road back into the hands OF
the main system. The presence mere of
J. w. Jennings, the personal represent
ative of General Dodge, agent of the
bondholders, is believed to be in pursu-
ance of this plan.
Governor Evans in an interview says
it is impossible that the stock and bond
holders of the Denver and Gull rail-
roadp should consent to throw away the
chances of the great Gulf route for a
place in the Union Pacific reorganiza-
ton. Galveston is as near Denver as
Chicago, and insures cheap transporta-
tion to all the Atlantic ports in Europe,
Asia, Africa and America.
