The ciants and Noah,s F1ood.

Among the many queer stories related
in the old Jewish Talmud and copied
into Barring -Gould's "Patriarchs and
Prophets" and works of similar import
is one concerning the action taken by
the great race of giants at the time of
the deluge At the time of the food the
giants were not all drowned. Their
leader, Og, planted his foot upon the
fountains of the deep, and with his
hands he stopped the windows of heav-
en-. According to Rabbi Eliezer, when
the food broke upon the eearth the giants
exclaimed, "If all the waters of the
earth be gathered together, they will
only reach to our waists. and if the foun-
tains of the great deep be broken up we
will stamp them down again" This
they did as they had declared they
would. Then God made the waters hot
and boiled the flesh from their bones.
The Targum of Palestine also says the
waters of the flood were hot. The Tai
mud then goes on to relate the story Of
the escape of Og, declaring that he went
into the water along with the rhinoceros,
clinging to the side of the ark. The
same authorities which give us an ac-
count of how Og saved himself tell us
that all the waters of the deluge were
hot except that which Immediately sur
rounded the hull of the ark. One rab-
binic authority says that Og climbed
upon the top of the ark, and that when
Noah discovered and attempted to dis
lodge him he swore to be slave to'the
patriarch's family forever if permitted
TO retain his seat.-St. Louis Republic.

BLOOD FLOWS AGAIN.
Concealed Strikers Fire on the
U. s. Regulars.
THE STRIKE WILL SOON END.
Sacramento Under Martial Law
Press Censorship by Col. Graham
More Trouble Feared.
Associated Press

San Francisco. July 1S.--Sixteen days
have interviewed since the general strike
was inaugurated on the Southern Pa
ciic system. During the entire period
the railway traffic has been at an abso-
lutte standstill in Nclthern California.
At least seven, and probably nine hu-
man lives have already been sitcrihced.
The commercial loss has been enormous.
Not only Is the general traffic almost at
a standstill, but the seasons fruit crop,
to the value Of hundreds Of thousands
of dollars, is perishing in the orchards.
Tonight there is every indication that
mere men are to be slaughtered in this
industrial war; that fruit growers are
to see more of their crop spoil on their
hands, and that the embargo ON COM
merce is TO be indefinitely continued.
In Sacramento, defiance became so bold
today that the capital city is tonight
under actual martial law. United
States Marshal Baldwin rode through
the streets at the head of thirty caval-
rymen this afternoon and proclaimed
martial law. He ordered people to their
homes and bade them remain there un-
I'll the trouble is over. Tonight only
meagre details of the situation are to be
had here, for what is press censorship
in effect, has been established by Col.
Graham. The Associated Press cor
respondent is suffered to pass the milf
tary pickets, but 1t is conditional that he
shall send out no information relative
to the movement of trains, neither is he
permitted to give the names Of train
men. 1t is the desire CT Col. Graham
to withhold this information from the
strikers. 1t is known, however, that no
trains are running out of Sacramento
save two, that were dispatched for the
East this morning. Another train bear
ing 25O United States troops from Fort
Douglass, Utah, hs west bound. At
Oakland the railroads on the mole are
now under protection Of a force Of 1000
United States marines, militiamen, and
deputies. The force has been sufficient
to overawe riotous strikers, and today
there is no further violence. In San
Francisco the event of the day was the
impanelling of a special United States
grand jury by Judge Morrow to inves
tigate the prevailing disorders. In his
charge, the judge said:
I'm this inquiry you will not limit
your inquiry to any particular class OF
persons, but carefully scrutinize the acts
of all parties concerned. whether they
ere officers Of the railroad company or
employees without fear or favor or in
huence of any kind. point out in a prop
er manner all persons who have trans
gressed the law and imperlled the best
interests Of the state"

rode up, armed with a Winchester, and
said he was going to town with his
wife. He rode on behind the stage, and
after going some distance shot Sullivan
from behind, the bullet going through
his heart. Then he picked Lovelock
and the second victim fell dead into

was going to drive the stage to well
FIVE miles distant, where he intended to
throw the bodies of the murdered men,
after which he was going to cut his wife
into small pieces and throw her in after

water the horses and when he stopped
to secure a bucket under the stage, she
took q pistol from Lovelock's pocket
and shot her husband. He cried for
mercy, but she shot again, and he fell
behind the stage. She dismounted and
gave him one more bullet, settler. She

MORE BLOOD SPILLED.
Troops Return the Strikers Fire. Killing
Three and Wounding Six

Sacramento, July 1S.-A bloody battle
occurred at II o'clock this morning be-
tween the strikers and a company OF
regulars. AS far as can be aacertained
two strikers are killed and six wounded.
Shortly before II o'clock Division Super
intendent Wright ordered an engine and
two fiat cars to clear the track along
the front OF the street contiguous to
the headquarters Of the strikers. A
company Of regulars under command OF
Capt. Roberts was ordered to accom-
pany the train. AS the train reached /
street, the strikers who were concealed
on the roCf Of big building near the
city Jail, opened fire on the engine. The
regulars returned the fire. and two
strikers were killed and six others
wounded. None Of the soldiers were In
Jured. The firing attracted hundreds OF
angry strikers to the scene, and 1t was
with difficulty that they were persuaded
by cooler heaia not to attack the SOL
,diers. United States Marshal Baldwin
frantically raised his hand and ordered
the crowd to disperse. lie called upon
them in the name of the United States
to return to their homes and prevent
further blocdshed.
Later-It is impossible to learn the
number Of killed and wounded The
railroad Officials. however, claim that
two were killed and six wounded The
names OF the men who are reported
killed have not been learned, 1t is
claimed their bodies were taken away
by tie strikers.
