Washington, Feb. 24-The members Of
the house under arrest were finally dis
charged from custody to-day by dispens-
ing with further proceedings under the
call. It required four hours to accomplish
this, and although the scenes of disorder
ly turbulence which CHARACTERIZED yester
days proceedings were rot repeated to-
day the proceedings were fully as inter-
esting. The Democrats were evidently
very anxious when the house met TO ex-
tricate themselves from the complications
arising from the wholesale arrest of men,

publiCans succeeded in preventing this
until the whole situa ton had been thor
oughly ventilated. Perhaps the most i'll

TAKING PRECAUTIONS.
Los Angeles Officers Will Be Pre-
pared for Emergencies,

Los ANGELES, July 13.-The Federal
authorities are reticent about the testi-
moDy on which the three prisoners were
indicted in connection with outrages on
the Southern Pacific tracks. They say,
however. that there is little or no doubt
about the identity of Heitchu. Ray burn
and Pickett, and furthermore that the
evidence is very strong against them.
There were great many more strikers
in this affair."" said District Attorney Denis
tonight, but although We have proof
against only three Of the number, we are
sure they are the right men. l have posi-
tive Information that they took an active
part in the strike"
John Kelly. Thomas Rutledge and Will
liam Farley were brought in from San
BernardiGo tonight and imprisoned by
deputy maUshals in the County Jail. These
three latest guests of Los Angeles County
are accused of obstructng United States
mails and will be prosecuted by the Gov
ernment.
A strange occurrence is reported from
East Los Angeles, and many theories are
offered in solution of the incident. AS a
passenger train was passing near the
Arroyo SecO to-day Mrs. Parker was shot
in the forehead. She left her home to
look at the train, and is suffering for her
curiosity. A bullet came without a report
from somewhere and glanced along her
forehead, inflcting a flesh wound of a
serious nature. The police are inclined
to believe that the bullet was a spent ball
from the gun of some body hunting in the
hills, but many people think it was in
tended for the engineer or some OF the
crew on the train, and after passing it's
mark sped across the track and hit Mrs.
Parker accidentally. Deputy marshals
were on the train platforms at the time
the shot was fired, but neither they nor
the trainmen heard a report. The victim
was attended by a physician, who pro-
nounced her wound as not dangerous.
The order allowing soldiers out of camp
was countermaDded this morning on ac-
count Of expected trouble after the at
tempt to shoot the engineer of the Santa
Barbara train. Police officers are sleep
ing in the station tonight by order of the
Chief, who takes this precaution to have
the whole force ready at command.

Story OF THE CRIME.
How and Why Prendergast Killed
NlaYCr harrison.

mayer fIdETiSO0.
Nearly nine months have elapsed since
Preudergast committed he atrocious crime
for which he suffered to-day. In that long
time public opinion has not changed a par
tcle. 1t is as stern and relentless now as
then-in the shadow Of the gallows as un-
der the stress of the excitement which the
murder created. The awful event is ap-
proved, it is not too much to say, by the
whole civilized world. There are few
men who would prefer to see PreDdergast
in an asylum rather than in his grave. but
they are so few that their opinion is not
entitled to consideration. The belief is
practically unanimous that the assassin is,
and in October last was. sane enough to
come within the legal definition Of sanity,
and so jury has decided.
The crime and the criminal were alike
extraordinary. Patrick Eugene James
Prendergast, newspaper-carrier. about
90 years old, took great interest in politics.
During the mayoraltv campaign last year,
which resulted in the election of Carter II.
Harrison, he was active in political circles
and spent much of his time election eeriug
and working for Mr.. Harrison. He was
also an ardent aud enthusiastic adherent
of the siDgle-tax theory. He was in the
ha bit of attending meetings OF the Single
tax Club and took part frequently 10 the
