civil Omcors Aiased FOR helping to Kun

SAN JOSE, CAL, July 1.-The tie-up on
the coast division in this city has not
been broken, although two trains started
from this city today. The strikers are
confden. that they can keep the road
blockaded from this point.
The railroad officials announced last
evening that they would run train to
San Francisco and they succeeded after
good deal OF trouble. 1t was the in
tention to have the O'Clock passenger
train for san Francisco leave on time,
but the strikers were on watch to inter-
cept ecab fremen and the crowd
was go large that it was feared
riot would be the result. The
chief OF police and sheriff were on hand,
and while the crowd was at the depot
the sheriff, chief OF police and deputy
sheriff slipped to the freight yard @here
passenger train, composed OF three
coaches and a baggage car were already
made up. The yard hands had some
steam up in the engine IN the round
house and the chief of police and aherif
took charge of the cab while the deputy
sheriff looked after the tender. A crowd
OF strikers surrounded the engine, but
the officers refused to let the men aboard.
Presently Engineer James Eewett APP
peared on the ecene ard took his scat on
the engine. No one seems to know who
fired the engine and it was asserted
the chief OF police and the sheriff were
the stokers. After steam was up the en-.
gineer ran out OF the roundhouse and
switched on q passenger train in the
yards. Still no fireman was seen, and
the strikers thought that the train was
going to back into the depot. A rush
was made for the depot, but the switch
was opened on to the main track and
the train left for San Francisco. After
the train had gone the strikers learned
that the fireman was Ed Hoff, q scab
who was taken OFF of the Monterey ex-
press Saturday. The officers accom-
panied the train as far as Mountain
View, whore they boarded train No. 5,
which left San Francisco for Monterey
at 10 40 O'Clock. The train arrived in
this city at IL 80, with Engineer Hib-
bard and the scab fireman in the
cab. The sheriff and chief OF
police would not allow the
strikers to board the engine to talk 20
the fireman. Division Superintendent
Haydock and Resident Engineer Culver
i'll were On the train and took the place
of the striking brakeman. The train
pulled out of San Jose and reached its
destination without further delay. The
chief of police and the sheriff were Kissed
by the crowd for the stand taken by
them.
This afternoon the officials attempted
to start train for San Francisco but the
fireman refused to leave the ticket Office.
He was afraid the crowd would mob
him. After several attempts to get other
fremen the idea OF dispatching the train
was abandoned. No train arrived from
San Francisco this evening on the coast
division. The narrow gauge ia running
on time.

are making the beet OF the situation.
About 60 section and work trainmen on
Siskiyou mountain, just south OF here,
went ont with the union, and all the
section crews stationed at Ashland quit
work last night, making quite force OF
strikers here.
All is quiet. though union missiona-
aries have been active since the strike
began, and have made many additions
to their numbers among the railroad
employees here during the past two
days.
The town is short OF sugar, and much
fruit will be ready for shipment shortly.
Among the freight tied up here are two
carloads OF California fresh fruits. No
mail from the south.
An engine arrived this evening from
Grants Paso to take north the detained
passenger train held here. Several
deputy United States marshals were
guarding the engine and the sheriff had
also responded to the call OF the railroad
officials for protection. The engine hRd
not been in the yards five minutes when
it was disabled and there 10 little likell-
hood of the company being able to move
the train tonight. Three engines already
in the roundhouse here are rendered
unfit for use until repairs are made, and
this makes the fourth one that the
strikers have tampered with. Four
Pullman cara on the delayed train are
also disabled. The strikers laugh at the
efforts made to move the train.

In the earliest times of purchase q
woman was bartered for useful goods or
for services rendered to her father. In
this latter way Jacob purchased Rachel
and her sister Leah. This was Beena
marriage, where man, as in Genesis,
leaves his father and his mother and
cleaves unto his wife, and they become
one flesh or kin--the woman's. The
price Of q bride in British Columbia and
Vancouver island varies from 920 to
e40 worth of articles. In Oregon an
Indian gives for her horses, blankets or
buffalo robes; in California, shell money
or horses; in Africa, cattle.
A poor Damara will sell a daughter
for COW. A richer Kafir expects from
three to 80. With the Banyai, if moth
ing be given, her family claim her chill
dren. In Uganda, where no marriage
recently existed, she may be obtained fol
half dozen needless or coat, or pair
OF shoes. An ordinary price is box OF
percussion caps. In other parts goat
or couple of buckskins will buy girl.
Passing to Asia, we find her price is
sometimes to SO rubles, or at others a
CARLOAD Of wood or hay. A princess
may be purchased for 5000 rubles.
In Tartary woman can be obtained
for few pounds of butter, or where a
rich man gives 30 small oxen poor
man may succeed with pig. In Fiji
her equivalent Is q whales tooth or q
musket. These and similar prices else
where are eloquent testimony to the lit
tie value savage sets on his wife. Her
charms vanish with her girlhood. She
is usually married while child, and
through her cruel slavery and bitter life
she often becomes cid and repplsive at

Strikers Very Stubborn-- Suffering
Among Delayed Passengers.
TRUcKEE, CAL, July 1.-The members
of the A. R. U. in Truckee are very de.
termined. Passenger train No. arrived
here from the east at 635 O'Clock Fri
day evening with 100 passengers. When
it reached Truckee it was permitted to
60 no further. although the passengers
pleaded hard with the A. R. U. to be
allowed to go on. There is q corpse on
the train, being taken to Los Angeles
for burial. A son of the woman MUIR
dered at Jackson, AmadOr county last
week, is among the stalled passengers.
The American Railway union men,
bers raised enough money among them
selves to pay for the passengers meals
until yesterday evening. Last night the
American Railway union gave an enter
tainment for the benefit of the passen-
gers. which Melted $50. Today the rail
road is furnishing meal tickets to desti-
tute passengers. Several OF the delayed
passengers started over the summit for
Sacramento yesterday and today. The
side tracks here are filled with cars and
among them are many that contain
fruit. As long as the ice holds ont, and
there ie enough to last about IL daye,
the fruit will be all right. The dining
car that was brought to Tsuckee on
Thursday night is still here. Not even
the yard engine has been out since Fri.
day noon.
An attempt was made early this morn
ing to burn the Truckee Lumber COM
pany'a box factory and sawmill. The
fire was discovered by employees before
it was we'll under Roadway, or it would
have been almost impossible to save the
town from destruction. The question of
wages between some of the employees
and the company ia supposed to be the
cause of the incen0iarv act.

A REMARKABLE BLIND DRUGGIST.


The Sixth Sense Possessed by a SightlesG
but sprightly niicIigander.
William j. Garrison, the blind druggist
of Wyandotte, is a man who excites great
admiration. He was born and grew up in
Vernon, Mich, and came to Wyandotte
about two years ago to become a member
of the firm of Dorence G. Garrison.
When about two years Of age, he lost his
eyesight and cannot remember that he ever
saw. He is u highly educated man and
keeps himself thoroughly posted In polit-
ical affairs and all the topics of the time.
Besides being pharmacist, he is piano
tuner and realizes good income from his
work in that capacity.
1t necessitatcs his going about the city q
great deal, and his ability to get about, COW
ering long distances, and by crooked, wind
ing ways without inquiring the direction is
a Wonder to all who see him. One would
never suspect that q man who moves about
with head erect and brisk step, seemingly
thoroughly acquainted with every inch of
his path, was treading his way in absolute
darkness In Mr.. Garrison that indefnable
instinct that we term the sixth sense is de-
veloped in a marvellous degree.
He carries a correct map of the city in his
memory, and when he goes out to tune a
piano he takes his cane and tuning instru~
ments and incuiring in what street and
block the house be. wishes to reach is lo-
Gated goes directly to the place without
further inquiry. His ear is remarkably
correct, and he possesses great skill in ma
uipulating piano. When his work is done,
Mr.. Garrison retraces his steps without fur
Their inquiry, as if the way was a beaten
path before him. People often watch him
as he starts to cross the street to see how
accurately he is able to judge of the dis.
lance between himself and passing teams
and of the speed at which electric cars are
approaching. He usually gives himself
block the advantage of car.
In the store Garrison is very quick to
serve his patrons, although he never gives
out poisons. He can tell any brand of cigar
in the case as soon as his hand touches the
box. No man in the city is quicker or
more accurate than lie ct making change.
He claims to keep the most exact time in
tow and will dispute the time to second
with any one. Mr. Garrison does all of his
own trading, and a clerk who can deceive
him in the quality OF a piece Of cloth or of
any provenderin the market must be pretty
slick. His ability to get along as well as
those who have all their senses is a contin-
ual marvel to all who know him.-Detroit
News. i.
