AT THE ARCADE.

A Stone Thrown at the Santa Barbara
Train Last Night.
The Southern Pucifc started it's first
overland from the Arcade depot, and it
is now on the way to Yuma and New
Orleans.
1t left the depot at o'clock yesterday
morning, and there was quite a crowd of
interested spectators on hand to see the
departure of the first train over this line.
The train was made up OF one mail car.
two com bination cars, one baggage, four
coaches and Pullman. There was an
immense amount OF mail on board but
com paratively few passengers, as the
public apparently is not in the mood to
travel except in cases of absolute neces.
sity at the present time. There were
just four passengers in the Pullman.
The train was under guard of COM
pany of the regular soldiers, under COM
mand of Lieutenant Starr, and large
force of deputy United States marshals.
The soldiers accompanied the train as
far as Savannah, where they left it
speeding eastward and returned to the
city, the deputy marshals going as far
as Cotton, in order to prevent any inter
ference there.
1t had been rumored all day Monday
that an effort would be made by the
Southern Pacific officials to send out
overland train No. Is to San Francisco
at z o'clock yesterday morning, and this
train, which is still lying on the siding
outside OF the Arcade depot, wac like
wise an object OF interest. The train did
not 60 at the hour named, and then it
was unoficially announced that it would
leave at O'Clock. Such railroad Off
cials as could be seen were unable to give
any information as to when the train
would leave. Quite number of the
San Francisco passengers were trans
fsrred to the steamship line on Monday.
and the departure OF No. IS is still q
matter for the future to develop. Dur
ing the day the local trains to various
suburban points were operated as usual,
and carried large number of passen-
gers.
Lieut.. M. Strother was officer of the
day and Lieut.. A. H. Martin officer OF
the guard yesterday. Quite large
number of lengthy kilograms we're re-
ceived by Colonel Shafter during the day
from Washington and army headquar-
ters, and the colonel and his adiutant
were busy looking up the ditferenr au-
Ihorities on martial law. 1t seems to
bs the general impression around the
depot that martial law will be declared
within the next "a hours, and in that
event the state troops will be taken into
the service of Uncle Sam during the ex-
ietence of the present troubles as an
auxiliary force. The idea Of sending
out overland trains to San Francisco
from this point under charge of United
States marehals armed with winchester
rifles seems to have been abandoned as
impractical by the authorities.
The arrival of the Santa Barbara train
last night was attended WITH general
exciting circumstances. About ore
mile north of the Buena Vista.street
bridge large rock was hurled through
the window of one OF the coaches shat
tering the glass and narrowly miosing
the head OF one OF the lady passengers.
This had the effect of terrorizing every
one in the car and the shades were
speedily pulled down and the passengers,
of whom there were quite a number.
kept sedulously away from the windows.
at tho Buena Vista-strest bridge
Lisutenanta Starr and Winn with
Company f of the regulars boarded the
train. At the San Fernando-street
depot large crowd had gathered and
they yelled and cheered and shouted
"scab" TO HI with you," During
the momentary stoppage of the train at
that point. The train pulled in from
that point without further incident
although the train crew was somewhat
nervous. easzassss
