10 San Francisco was wrecked by strikers
yesterday afternoon. An engineer and
four regulars, who were guarding the
engine, were killed. They are Samuel
B. Larken, esRineer; Private Byrne,
Private Lubberding and Private Clark.
The wounded are: Private Wilson, left
leg seriously lacerated; Private Dugau,
left arm cut off; Private Ellis, internally
injured and Private Daimler, injured
about the head. Shortly after Q o'clock
General Superintendent Fillmore had a
conference with Colonel Graham, and
when 1t was concluded the latter ordered
the officers to drive every one out Of the
depot, including the newspaper reporters.
Orders were issued to take the eastern
overland, which has been delayed here
since the the Inauguration Of the strike,
to San Francisco. Samuel Clark. one Of
the old engineers in the employ of the
company, took charge of the engine.
Acting under instructions from Colonel
Graham the soldiers belonging to Battery
l., Fifth United States artillery. accom-
panied the train. As the train passed
out Of the depot there was silence among
the strikers, who were evidently not in. a
happy mood and frequently limited that
the train would not reach San Francisco.
The strikers had unspiked rails on a
trestle for distance OF over 100 feet and
concealed their dastardly work with
sand. Engineer Clark plunged into the
trap. The engine was overturned and
several cars were upset. The train con-
sisted Of nine cars, Of which FIVE were
Pullmans. On the engine were Privates
Lubberding, Byrnes and CLARK, Dugan,
Ellis and Wilson. The engine plunged
through the trestle without warning and
none of the men had time to jump.
Those not instantly killed were weighted
down with heavy accoutrements and
sank in the muddy water. Engineer
Clark was pinned under the engine and
his body has not been recovered. The
trestle was 80 feet long, and completely
smashed. Fully one-half OF the piling
was torn out. Tie engine lies buried in
mud and water. Two cars are hanging
over the edge Of the embankment. None
of the Pullmans were wrecked.
LIVINGSTONE, Mont, July 12.-[Spec-
ial. l-Captain Lockwood, OF the Twenty
second infantry, U. s. A.. cut man in
the head with his sword yesterday. the
officer claims that the man called him
vile names while the troops were guard
ing the train. The citizens of Living
stone insist that 1t was brutal assault,
and that Lockwood was drunk at the
time and provoked all Of the trouble.
After The excitement had somewhat sub
sided, the rioters drove away Me nom
union men who were preparing to ice and
water the train, and also chased the EN-.
ployes who refused TO strike, but did not
harm them. No train service could be
got at Livingstone, and the men who were
brought from st. Paul were compelled to
do the work. The governor has offered
reward Of $4,000 for the arrest and con.
viction Of any one destroying property
during the strike.
CHICAGO, July ~, 4 80 p. m.-[Spec-
ial. THE employees Of the Pullman COM
psny have been asked by strike leaders
TO appeal to Debs TO call off the boycott
on the grounds that the damage to the
country is too great and that too much
suffering and hardship is resulting to
innocent parties. The Pullman strikers
have consented to do this.
CoNsrASrIsopLE, July 12.-lSpecisl.l
A slight earthquake shock has beed con-
tinuously felt throughout the day, but
the city is now assuming it's normal APP
pearsnce. The seismic disturbances ex-
tended throughout wide area, and the
casualties were much greater than at
first reported. Jalova is almost totally
destroyed. At Stamboul the principal
fluctuations appear to have followed q
straight line from the mosque OF Sultan
Ahmed to Edine-Kapon, distance Of
two miles. Great damage has everywhere
been done and many lives were lost. AT
the village OF San Stephano the sea sud- |
denly receded two hundred yards and
then returned as MISUNDERSTANDING many
boats violently over the quays and doing |
great damage.
