A Drunken Fathers Frenzy.

Edward Guinan OF $40 Hudson street
New York, while in a drunken frenzy yes
terday, carried his little two-year-oid
daughter down to the dock at the foot OF
Desbrosses street and tried TO throw her
into the river. Policeman Tate saw him
staggering along the dock. but could not
reach him before he threw the child. The
little girl struck a timber and did not fall
into the water. She was not badly injured.
Guinan was locked up. His wife said that
he came home drunk late Saturday night
and wound up a series Of Wild actions by
taking the little girl out into the street.
In the Tombs court he was held on two
other charges. one for assaulting his
mother-in-law. He said that he was per-
secuted by his relatives, and threatened
TO get even with Policeman Tate and AL
hands when he got out OF trouble.

The morning call., 1894-07-02

ference at the hands of the members of the
America Railway Union.
In speaking of the matter railroad
official said:
"The fact is just this: The present force
of men is unable to cope with the crowd of
strikers and others in Sacramento. Sheriff
ONeil up there is an A. r. u. man, and
while l do not say that he is not doing his
duty properly. will say that we must
have better protection there.
There has been as yet no visible signs
of actual violence around the depot, but
in order to run our trains properly and
with assured safety the crowd that col
lects around the depot must be kept away
from the engine and cars entirely. Their
presence has an intimidating effect upon
our employees, and threats against them
are freely made.
..The authorities under O'Neil act In a
very apathetic manner and they will not
assist us as we want. From the temper
OF the crowd l think the Governor ought
to give US military protection. The case
warrants it,"
If the Governor should decide to call out
members of the National Guard if the re-
quest is made he would certainly have to
send his orders for men from this city or
somewhere other than Sacramento, for it
is we'll known that there is hardly a cor
poraPs guard of the militia there outside
of railroad men or their sympathizers.
On the other hand it wss reported last
night that the railroad company would not
ask for troops until there were signs of an
actual attempt to commit deeds of vio-
The morning call., 1894-07-02

Flint rem arked as he restored his hat to its
proper position. "The railroad is in the
hands of the Philistines.
81 think the strikers are playing with 1t.
They allowed it TO bring in train after
train until the yards were crowded, then
finding they had gained nothing by that
they permitted the company to send out Its
cars and locomotives only that they might
be tied up throughout the State"
Mailcars are becoming rather scarce.
Ore is held in reserve for each train to
which one is allotted and two for each
train that requires more than one. But
these reserve cars are being filled with the
rapidly accumuIating mail and none are
coming in to take their places.
The train that should have started for
San Jose at 8 O'Clock yesterday morning
left at noon and with its carload of mail
stuck fast at Twenty. sixth street. There
is westbound train tied up with its load
of mail at Winnemucca, New. The train
with mail from the north that should
have arrived in this city Thursday morn
ing is still at Dunsmuir. Siskiyou County.
The overland mail that was tied up for
three days at Sacramento was conveyed TO
this city by steamer last night and will be
distributed this morning. 1t is the first
mail that has arrived from the East since
the strike. 1t left for the coast last Sun
day and is supposed to ntain Postmaster
McCoppin's commission.
The morning call., 1894-07-02

General Superintendent Fillmore to a re-
porter for The CALL. "What will be
done there after we arrive is more than /
can tell now. If it is necessary we shall
call upon the Sheriff OF Sacramento County
for assistance, and if he refuses we may
make application to the Governor"

more and two clerks were the only other
occupants of the special.
Among the deputies were Captain Wood
ruff and Privates johnson, Townsend and
Norton. of Company G. First Infantry, n
q. c. Their presence in the group, to-
gether with the appearance of a number
of militiamen on the mole early in the
morning, gave rise to a rumor that the
weekly shoot of the National Guard at
Shell Mound bad been cOuntermanded
early in the morning so as to hold the men
in readiness for possible call for troops.
The special pulled out at l 80 O'Clock
sharp, with large air of mystery as to
which of the roads to Sacramento it
would take. but the mystery was soon
cleared up and 1t was announced, semi-off1-
cialiy, by map who knew, that it would
go via Lathrop into Brighton, the first
station this side of Sacramento, thus
avoiding any possible difficulty with the
boat or the switching crew at Port Costa
At Brighton the engine would stop to
