GEARY IN COMMAN
How the Troops in Oakland Are
Disciplined.

Troops are everywhere in West OAK
land and practically martial law obtains
there. The militia are constantly arresting
strikers and turning them over to the civil
authorities, who as constantly let them
90. The troops are much harassed, men,
beers being already sick with the unac-
cnstomed dispIine and work. The full
command of the troops at the Peralta-
street yards and West Oakland is held by
Lieutenant Colonel Dennis Geary. a. the
following special order, numbered "a, and

days embrace over half million letters
and many tons of paper mail, but all will
have been sorted. distributed and de-
livered before this day is over.
Superintendent Cox says there has been
very little registered mail received so far,
and accounts for it on the same ground,
that very little has been sent from here
during the unsettled state of affairs. He
thinks that fully fifteen days registered
mail is being held along the lines.
A special train left Hawthorne, New,
over the Carson and Colorado Railroad
with sixteen days delayed mail for points
between Mound House and Keller, Cal.
The steamers of the California Naviga-
ton and Improvement Company do not
carry mail to Stockton since the resump-
ton Of service on the Southern Pacific.

AN ALARMING EXPLOSION.
But 1t Is Believed to Have Been
Caused bV Bows.

The eastbound Oakland local which left
the mole at $3.50 O'Clock last Light was
brought to sudden stop by loud explo-
sion under the wheels OF the engine at
Seventh and kirkham streets about 9 As
O'Clock.
There were seven coaches loaded with
passengers as the train slowed up for the
second stop from the mole at Center street.
Several passengers got off and the train
started again. Just as the engine was
about to cross Kirkham street the explo-
sion TOOK place. 1t sounded like the report
of a good sized brass cannon, and shook
the windows in the train and in the houses
around, breaking two in the second story
of the residence of c. Fl. F. Braun at The
corner of Seventh and Kirkham.
The majority Of the passengers in the
train were Immediately seized with a
panic, and in each car rushed pell NELL to
the doors. There was no need 10 put on
the brakes, for the very good reason that
the explosion had broken the airpipes and
brought the cars TO with sudden jolt that
was not altogether reassuring. The depu-
ties jumped to the ground and gathered
around Engineer Wood and Conductor
Carpenter as they looked around for the
damage.
There was the greatest excitement
around the train for the next two minutes
People rushed out of their houses for sew
eral blocks around. firmly con-
vinced that the militia and the strikers
had come together in deadly con-
fiict at last. The report was plainly
heard at the Wood-street station at the
Point, and the streets there were crowded
with people looking up in the direction of
the red lights cleaning on the stalled
train. At the mole, where the news was
telephoned. the damage was magnied by
the distance and forty-fve people were at
first reported killed.
The actual damage consisted in the
brea king Of water-pipe besides the
broken air connection. The train was
pulled eastward after a delay of about
fifteen minutes without air, and another
sensation was over. At first il was thought
dynamite had been placed on the track,
but the absence of even the slightest hole
in the ground showed that that explosive
had not been used. 1t was proba oily a
regular railroad explosive placed on the
track by boys.
The local which followed the one stopped
by the torpedo made slow time from and
to the mole, man with a lantern walking
the track ahead of the locomotive looking
for more torpedues. II got back TO the
mole at 10 10 A NJ

had to ascertain his probable fate, but it is
certain that il be IS not released this morn
ing there will be conflict between the
civil and military authorities.
Last night the members of the strike
committee and Gibson and Whtmore, the
attorneys, were closeted in consultation as
to the best means of securing Jost's re-
lease, and it was finally decided that a
writ Of habeas corpus would be the most
effective means of arriving at that end.
This morning. therefore, If Jost is not a
free man, petition for the writ will be
made before one of the Judges of the Su-
perior Court ana there is no telling what
may ensue should the law demand the
production of the prisoners body in the
court

AN EASIER FEELING.
Produce Men Rejoice Over the Re-
yiyal of Traffic,

Now that the strike is virtually over,
the local fruit and produce men. who have
suffered irreparabe loss during the past
two weeks, look forward to a speedy re-
vival of prices and general re-esta blish-
ment Of the market on sound basis.
Notice was given Yesterday tha at the
Southern Pacific would receive freight for
Pacific Coast points this morning, and
many of the produce merchants who sup
ply the interior markets were busily en-
gagged in arranging shipments in order to
be on time for the first freight. Tho
San joaquin Valley has suffered perhaps
more than any other section of the State
from the want of citrus fruits and other
more or less necessary adjuncts to health
and comfort.
The fruit-raisers will also rejoice at the
renewal of freight transportation. as those
who were unable to market their products
in this city were compelled to allow their
crops 10 rot on the trees.
But few days of open traffic will suffice
to revive the stagnant condition of trade in
general, and as present indications point to
this conclusion feeling Of easiness has
sprung up in commercial circles and re-
ioiclng knows no bounds.

THE LETTER THAT CAME.
Tons of Mail Received at the Post
Office.

Tons of Mail Received at the Post
Office.
You may reasonably hope to get that
letter to-day.
The Postof1ice department realized that
it was still in business yesterday and the
day before.
Yesterday morning, following the big
receipts of Sunday, thirty-seven pouches
of letter mail were slammed down on the
Postoflice floor and 20 less than eight tons
of paper mail.
Later in the day the first section of the
delayed overland from Ogden brought 125
pouches more OF letter mail. and last
evening two other sections arrived. one at
5 o'clock acd tbs other at 1880. bringing
the bulk of the delayed paper mail.
The arrivals of yesterday morning and
the day before brought mails from New
York dated the I'd and 9th of July, which
were due here the Sth to the 11th. That
which came with yesterdays later arrival
covered the dates of June 30 to July 8,
leaving the gap from the 18th to date still
to be filled.
The missing pouches are expected TO
arrive over the Southern by the Santa Fe
at any time now.
The distribution contingent at the Post
Office was REINFORCED yesterday by several
clerks from the railway mail service, and
the manner in which solid bodies of mail
matter became disintegrated and were
scattered through the honeycomb of boxes
preparatory to being. brought together
again under the arms of gray-coated car
riers was a sight to remember.
Superintendent of Delivery Cox says
if the mails keep coming he will be quite
equal to whatever demand it makes upon
him, and that before the week is out the
system will be reduced TO its usual routine
All mails were sent out yesterday from
this Office. including the overland, with
only the exception of the registered mail
This it is not deemed wise to dispatch
until matters are a little more certain
along the line.

COMMUTERS TICKETS.
Credit Will Be Given Next Month for
Unused TRIPS.

General Manager Towne said yesterday
that business was rapidly assuming its
normal condition on the Southern Pacific.
Aside from a little trouble near Red Bluff,
where strikers creased the tracks, and
some indications of a turbulent feeling at
Wadsworth and in that vicinity, no reports
of disturbances were received yesterday.
Nearly all the clerks In the general office
have returned to work.
General Passenger Agent Goodman said
yesterday that in the matter of Oakland
and Alameda commuters tickets the COM
pany proposed to deal fairly with its pa
irons, and, with view of adjusting the
present difficulty. caused by the cessation
of service, the following plan bad been
agreed upon: When commuters purchase
their tickets for August they will be given
credit thereon for that proportion OF their
July tickets which remains unused because
of the strike.
