strike, and hoped the Chief Executive
would give them Il hearing as duly ac-
credited Representatives of organized
labor.
1t was at Mr.. McGann's suggestion,
made more than week ago, that the
idea of urging the appointment Of a
commission was adopted. Provision for
such a step is found in the arbitration
law of October LIST, 1883.
SAN FRANCISCO, CAL, July 1.-THE
strike to-day took a turn which will
seriously injure the cause of the strikers,
and will lose them in great part the
public sympathy that they have re.
ceivcd. All interest is now centred in
Sacramento, the State capital, and when
the regulars from the Frisco Preside
quietly took possession of the depot this
morning, and the railroad company
began to make preparations to move
trains, everyone concluded that the jig
was up
They reckoned, however, without
desperate body Of 200 strikers, who left
sacramento last night and proceeded
down the river. These fellows were ali
armed with Winchesters, and the work
which they did was manifest this morn
ing, when the first train moved over the
main line for San Francisco was ditched,
only two and half miles from Sacra-
mento, just before passing on a trestle.
The spikes and fish-plates had been re-
moved, and the rails spread the moment
the locomotive hit them.
Although the train Was going slowly,
the engine, tender and four baggage
cars went of the track and plunged
into 10 feet of water.
-Four were killed, the engineer and
three soldiers, and four were injured,
all soldiers, of whom one will probably
die.
Killed-Engineer Samuel Clark, Pri-
vate James Byrne, Private George W.
Lubberden, Private Peter Clark.
Wounded-Private Daimler, head
injured; will probably die; Private
Abraham Wilson, left leg injured Pri-
waite Wesley G. Dugan, left arm cut off /;
Private Ellis, injured internally.
All the soldiers killed and hurt be-
longed to Battery l., Fifth United States
Artillery, stationed at the Preside, San
Francisco.
PROMISED TO OBEY THE BISHOP.
At a late hour last night Bishop
Montague addressed the strikers, i'm
ploring them not to make any resistance
to the occupancy of the depot by troops,
and they promised to be governed by
his counsel.
AT the lower end of the city there
was skirmish between the troops and
strikers. About 30 shots were exchanged
across the water, but the only victim
was an inoifcnsive japanese truck
gardener, who came down 10 the river
bank out of curiosity. He was shot in
the stomach and, it is thought, fatally.
TRAIN LOAD OF PASSENGERS STONED.
Los ANGELES, CAL, July 1.-THE
passengers on train from Santa Bar
bara, which arrived late last night, had
an exciting time of it. At the city limits
the train was stoned, one missile crash
!, ing through a window, just missing a
lady's head. Word was telegraphed to
J the Arcade depot, and detachment of
troops was hurried to Buena Vista
bridge to escort the train in.
The passengers were terrorized, and
again had to run the gauntlet Of mob
of angry men, whose curses and threats
were not stilled, but rather increased by
the sight of the soldiers and their
weapons. No violence was offered.
The train was run past the place as rap.
,, idly as possible.
