THREW A PASSENGER TRAIN INTO THE DITCH.

platform was calculated to dissipate all
fears about the certainty of an approach
ing end of the strike, and the further GER
tainty of the Governments success In
operations against the men who have vio-
lated or have been thought to be capable
of violating the laws Of the country. But
the Government was not successful in its
first attempt to make an end Of the dis
turbauce at the capital. Nothing daunted
by the formidable show of arms and the
spirit of determination which has been
exhibited by the Federal troops since
their arrival, the strikers have proved
themselves more formidable than all these.
They have had pretty much their own way
from the beginning and are having it now.
Martial law governs nearly the whole
town, and every one is imbued with a
thoroughly realizing sense of the extreme
seriousness of the situation. Citizens Of a
peaceable kind are fearful that the great
est struggle in the history of the railroad
strike is to occur right here under the
very shadow of the imposing Council hall
at Capitol Park. The tide of feeling is be-
ginning to turn. The people of Sacra-
mento, hitherto in accord with every one
of Jhe strikers movements, are beginning
to realize that the stage of the game is ad-
vanced to an extraordinary degree, and that
the striking element have oversteDped the
pure principle which impelled it at the
beginning of the trouble.
The wreck of that train this afternoon,
though the strike leaders may not be
responsible for il, has not been very
instrumental in increasing sympathy
for the strikers cause. Sober-minded
citizens are indignant at the need
less slaughter of men entirely inDo-
cent of any crime There are converse
tons on street corners and in hotel corri-
doris tonight in which the expressions are
far from being favorable. Nearly every
one not too closely identified with the
striking element and many who are are en-
platte in denounCing to-day's dastardy
proceedings. Many who have been in
touch in sympathy with the strikers since
the beginning of the great fight have de-
serted those who are making it. They
aver that they are and have been sympa-
thetic from a certain knowledge OF the
justice of the American Railway Union
stand in the matter Of objections to Pull
mans autocracy. but when the affair
reaches so fearful a stage that innocent
men should be killed and violence made a
feature of operations these same sympa-
thizers think it time to look about them
for material upon which sympathy will
not be wasted.
The American Railway Union men are
indignant that any blame shonld be at
tached to them for the railroad wreck to-
day. Immediately after it they held
meeting denouncing the operation and

given to start. The engine puffed vigor-
ously and the long train moved out of the
depot building slowly. AS the Pullmans,
which were attached TO the rear of the
train, came into sight there was sub
dued hiss from the great multitude. Il
was quickly hushed, however Maybe the
crowd was afraid to make any such demon
stration.
So the first train out of the Sacramento
yards pulled away in the direction Of Oak
land. Half an hour later news came that
the Jrain had been ditched Two miles south,
at what is known as the second trestle on
the down track. This report spread like
wildfre. In five minutes every one in
town knew of it, and then every one in
town hurried down to the depot to confirm
it. 1t was only too true.
Then every one breathlessly awaited
further news. In few minutes one of
the cavalry troops went galloping over the
Sacramento River bridge to the scene of
the disaster An engine, which happily

made up the civilian gathering.
At this time twenty-one men were de-
tailed from Battery L. Fifth United States
Artillery, under command of Lieutenant
Edwards, to accompany the train to Oak
land as guard. The artillerymen piled
upon the platforms and tender. Six of
them sat on the coal on the tendsr, their
blanket rolls by their sides and their
Springfelds leveled threateningly at the
dense crowds about the depot. They were
the picture Of catlike watchfulness and
bravery as they sat there. and few men
would have cared to try their vigilance or
their courage.
At ten minutes past u the signal was

An engine tearing along a wooden trestle
in lop-sided fashion is liable TO cause
abrasions. and that engine this afternoon
did some of It. Trains. however, will be
sent along the Stockton route, but this
will necessitate the clearing of the railroad
yards and generally better arrangement
of the present mudde Of engines and
coaches all around the depot property.
Then. even in the event of sending more
trains within q day or two, there will also
be the difficulty of securing the services of
train crews. Of course, soldiers OF the
regular service will go when told, but en-
gineers and fremen and conductors are
scarce now, and there is very evident in
disposition among all OF them TO 90 the

luckless tender.

railroad strike in this city occurred to-day,
when the first train that attempted to run
out with Pullman coaches attached went
through trestle two miles south of this
city. The killed were:
Samuel Clark, engineer.
Private DOugan.
Private Clark
Private Byrne.
Private Lubberden.
Those wounded and now in the hospital
here were:
Private Daumler, Injured about the head
and face.
Private Wilson, leg fearfully lacerated.
Private Ellis, who is injured internally
and whose condition is serious.
The deplorabe affair occurred a few
minutes after noon. About 10 o'clock this
morning the railroad officials began pre-
pairing for the sending out of trains with
Pullmans. The Federal troops furnished
a guard all about the depot while these
operations were going on. They stood

serious deficiency in the armament of the
striking force. The probability is that to-
morrow will witness pretty riuch of a
repetition of to-day's startling spectaces
and proceedings.
While it is understood on reliable au-
thority that the Southern Pacific officials
are amazed and variouslv startled at the
surprising turns of affairs to-day. it is
quite as authentcally reported that trains
will continue to go out happen what
may. These trains will not 60 the way

tomorrow morning, and that Sacramento
will experience novel era Of severe mill
tary jurisdition until the strike comes to
orderly or bloody conclusion. The affair
this afternoon is taken to indicate that
more blood will flow. The firing on tie
militia from over the river when trains
were firing up was strong proof of the in
tentions of the desperate men who have
attached themselves to the strikers cause
They will, without question, resort to as
much violence as care and cunning will
permit with some safety to themselves.
The thirst for violence has come on them
and unless indications are sadly misinter-
preted Sacramento is to have time lively
beyond all imagining.
Officers have found the tools, which were
hidden, with which the rail was removed
from the track, and know who the parties
are that hid them.

: SACRAMENTO. July 11.-Perhaps the
most appalling affair in general atrocity
which has characterized this great strike
throughout the country occurred at the
capital city to-day. The arrival OF Federal
troops and the firing upon the militia by
the strikers were not a circumstance to
the awful disaster which startled Sacra-
mento this afternoon.
. Up to the time that news arrived an
nouncing that the first Pullman train
outof the city for nearly two weeks had
gone tumbling of a trestle before two
miles of ground had been ruD
there had prevailed a strong impress
sion that the backbone Of the strike
had been broken and that the great rail-
road strike was off as far as Sacramento
was concerned, but people here reckoned
again without their prophets. Nothing
could have more strongly indicated the
warlike attitude of the striking element
than the wreck of the train to-day. Moth
ing. could have better proved that the
game has reached a most startling stage
and that human life can enter into no
farther Consideration when success in the
face of odds is to be attained. Nothing

THE Borough Council is making mis-
take in appealing the case of Constable
Taliesin Phillips. The sum involved is
comparatively small, and by the time the
final result is announced the borough will
find that instead of having less than three
hundred dollars to pay, the principal, costs,
interests and attorneys fees will amount
to almost one thousand dollars. Besides,
no good can be accomplished in an appeal.
Mr.. Phillips is not to blame for recover
ing the Judgment. The Council would be
better employed in chasing with a sharp
stick the property owners who defy the
sanitary laws and wink at the disease
breeding beds on their premises Mr.
Phillips sued to recover $1,000 damages
for the death of a child which he alleged,
and which he evidently proved to the sat
isfaction Of a jury, died from a disease
caused by the improper drainage of prop.
erty, to which Councils attention had
been repeatedly called, but without avail.
The borough should consider itself lucky
in keeping so far away from the $1,000
mark. This staving off Of the payment
of judgments is false economy, and this is
exemplifed in the case of the HERALD.
The paper sued, and as in almost every
case in which the borough has appeared
as defendant, Judgment was obtained for
the full amount with interest and costs
i Tha principal at that time amounted tc
| about Sl3O, and now the claim with costs
aud interest amounts to over $3.50. The
b rough Council asked time to apply fol
! a new trial but has not taken a step il
that direction. As one of the Councilme1
admitted at a recent meeting, "the policy
Of the borough is to keep them out OF
their money as long as we cam Mean.
time the taxpayers are paying the fiddler
/ in interest and costs. A judgment against
the borough drawing six per cent. interest
is better than an investment in govern
ment bonds-for the judgment creditor
not for the borough. There is only one
excuse for the "staving olfo process, and
that is that the men who are engaged in
it hope some day to defeat the judgments
by casting the borough into bankruptcy
and at the present rate of public water
works operations it will not take long tc
get the borough there.
