MRS. STANFORD BLOCKADED.
The Sale of Tickets Discontinued.
Notes.

Up IN the lonely Siskiyous solitary
operator at little way station was the first
OF his craft to join the strikers. Mrs.
Leland Stanford is unfortunately suffer
ing delay at the same point by reason of
the strike, and her secretary was endeavor-
ing to arrange some plan by wire through
which the lady named could be extricated
from her undesirable environment. The
operator mentioned consented 10 handle
the messages relative TO Mrs. Stanford's
business. but not word of the company's
affairs passed out Of his Office. 1t wa
thought to send an engine up TO th
lady's assistance yesterday, but the corner
on hremen successfully worked By the A.
r. U prevented such action, and it is prob
able that the operator and the few other
residents of the locality will have an op-
portunity to entertain their distinguished
but unwilling visitor for several DAYS to
come.
Abou. II o'clock yesterday morning
Train Dispatcher Walker OF the Santa
Cruz division leisurely walked into Super-
intendent Fillmore's Office TO assure tn at
rffical that there was one line of the
Southern Pacific system at least where the
men could be depended upon to stay in,

TWO MORE MEETINGS.
Nearly Two Thousand Men Assemble
in West Oakland.

The American Railway Union and the
Brotherhood of Locomotive Engineers
held meetings that lasted past mid
night. The union had a large hall
near West. Oakland station where
1000 men could be accOmm cd Ated
and little room was TO spare during the
night. In a small hall on Peralta street
the engineers were busy with various dis
cussi0Ds from P. NJ. until early morn
ing They kept a jealous watch on
the premises lest any person should
approach, and they showed little
civility to callers. When it became known
that a strange engineer had taken charge
of the local after Jeffefis left late al
night there. was a feeling of distrust and
uneasiness among the men. who refused
to be interviewed or to make any state
ment whatever.
The Railway Union men had most en-
thusiastic meeting, which, although secret,
betrayed the strong spirit within when
cheers would ring out every few min
ntes. Railroad men applied in crowds
for admittance TO the union, and
800 applications were sent in and
accepted. Geo. Walton. Charles Finck, c..
E. Hall. John Forest. Ed Saulpaugh, j.
E Nichols and T. Josie were appointed
as an executive committee OF the strike
All questions regarding to the strike must
be referred 10 them.
A report was received from the order of
Railroad Trainmen, who do not officially
recognize the strike. Individual members
of the Tranmen were left to themselves
to decide how they shall act but they an
nounced their intention not TO handle
trains or fill places vacated by the union.
An effort will be made this morning to
induce the Alameda trainmen and engi-
neers TO quit work after the first train
runs.
The Oakland, Alameda and Berkeley
trains were kept running regularly at
hourly Intervals until the last regular
train went in

There Is Not Train Running in or
Out of Los Angeles.

Los ANGELES, June 29.-As both the
Santa Fe and Southern Pacific systems
are entirely tied up. all trains running out
OF the city TO all stations of the roads
have ceased. Nothing is moving on wheels
propelled by locomotives in this city. ex-
eept the trains on the Terminal and Re-
doDdO railroads, and they are doing a big
business. and, in fact trains have been
put on those roads to handle the increased
business. As Santa Monica is the princi-
pal seaside resort, numerous buses are
seen throughout the ely Offering to carry
passengers there for reasonable sum, but
as the distance by highway Is twenty
miles. and the roads are very dusty, most
people who contemplate going prefer to
wait, in the hope that the strike will soon
be declared off.
The Southern Pacific and Santa Fe Off
cials say that they are not going 10 allow
their l. cal trains TO lie idle for any great
length of time. All day yesterday and
to-day large numbers of men have applied
to the TWO roads for positions. and signify
their willingn ess TO take out trains with
or without Pullmans. In fact, it is said
that the roads have moro applications

this end of the lines. The strikers say that

SACRAMENTO. June 29.-All trains are
tied UP here: Between $50 and 200 cat
loads of fruit are on the road between
Sacramento and Ogden. and this Will be
totally destroyed should the strike con-
tinue week. A boatload of fruit came
up from Courtland and other river points
in Sacramento and YolO counties, and is
now in the steamboat freight shed, the
railroad men having refused TO place it in
the refrigerator-cars. Various fruit-ship-
ping firms here have notified their agents
not TO receive any more fruit for shipment
and to notify fruit-growers not to pick or
pack any more till the strike is broken.
Fruit is rlpening fast on the trees on &C
count of the warm weather, and il the
strike continues it will become too ripe to
ship. This will be a total loss and will
ruin many California fruit-growers who
are now in debt and under mortgage.
Two hundred and fifty people. including
overland west-bound passengers and
twenty-five commercial men en- route to
the Midwnter Fair, left here at 10 80 this
morning on the steamer Apache. The
crowd at the landing and on the boat made
the scene resemble that of old times.
The west-bound overland, containing
IullMdn cOacDtS, was SI0ppeu mere t1lS
morning by the strikers and the draw
bridge across the Sacramento River was
thrown open. Tie strikers have refused
10 allow the mailcars 10 leave. They say
that not wheel shall move. The United
States Marsbals who came up from San
Francisco this morning re powerless and
are sidetracked up the road. An engineer
named Trembley, who took up a train this
morning in opposition TO the orders of the
strikers, was hanged In effigy to-day.
When he gets back his life will be in
danger.
The Order of Railway Conductors me- t
this afternoon and passed resolutions to
the effect that the order. as an order, was
n OF in The strike, and that, while it could
not dictate the course Of any individual
member, it was ready 10 go to work If the
company would project its members. The
Brotherhood of Locomotive Engineers also
held a meeting and, it is reported, passed
resolutions to q similar effect. Both these
orders are not members of the American
Railway Union.

with the P. NJ. boat from San Francisco
arrived at the West Oakland station the
throng surged toward the locomotive with
yeils and derisiye hooting. The object of
this demonstration was Engineer Jefferis,
the man who was accused of numbering
olga Ayres at Brighton station, Sacra-
mento County, but escaped conviction.
Jefferis had been running the Oakland
local during the afternoon, being non-
union man. and so he came IN for many a
disagreeable salutatiQn.
The strikers. huwever, took no part in
these hostile demonstrations, but on the
contrary tried to preserve order.
They supported the police in keep
ing the peace and acted manfully
all through. It was the boys and
young tOughs who made the disturbance.
They shouted "scab," varying the yell
with vulgar epithetS, while hurling rocks
and handfuls OF sand or dirt at Engineer
Jefferis. Freddie Denperger, an incOr-
rigible youth of II. who is known
to the Oakland police. was caught
by one of the union peace and
order men and turned over to Policeman
Hammerton while in the act of throwing
a rock at j. fferis. He was arrested and
removed in the patrol wagon, and then his
young companions changed their behavior.
An open-air meeting was held at Wood
and Seventh streets.
The audience was composed of the wait
ing crowd aud the speakers were James
Andrews, Eugene HOugh. r. T. McIv0r
and c. Lloyd. The drift of the
speeches was in favor of unIonism
and the American Railway Union.
Lloyd made vigorous and impassioned
address. He spoke against the Southern
Pacific as gigantic monopoly, crushing
the life out of the people. and said il is
time now that the people Of Oakland

with the American Railway Union.

THE TRAINS TO-DAY.
Efforts VIII Be Made to Run Them
on Both Sides of the Raw

ATT o'clock this morning the Southern
Pacific officials will make their first at.
tempt of the day to break the blockade
across the bav. At that time the Cen tral
overland is due to leave. and if the neces-
sary equipment Of employees can be Sc.
cured the train will 60 out.
Nine o'clock is the time for the Southern
overland to depart, and it is also intended
to make an effort 10 get this train out. The
second attempt. however. will probably
not be made If the first should meet with
failure-althOugh the officials of the road
said last night that both efforts would be
made.
No official assurance is given that trains
will be run through. and those passengers
who 90 across The bay must take their
chances upon both getting out of the city
and on reaching an inhabited region If
they succeed in the first particular.

FRUIT MEN SUFFER.
Thousands of Dollars Will Be Lost
to the State


SAN JOSE, June 29.-District Freight
Agent Steeple received instructions from
General Freight Agent Smurr of the
Southern Pacific Company to-day at II 80
notifying him to refuse ''perisbaDle" and
all other freight until further advised and
containing the Information that the road
was tied up from Ashland north and from
Ogden, DemiDg and FL Paso west, being
the entire Pacific system. The coast di.
vision trains, as we'll as the narrow-gauge,
were moving the same as usual up to
noon.
The trains only go to Niles. So far the
railroad men have given no intimatiOn of
what they would do, but the opinion is
heard that these lines will be tied up if
there is not a speedy settlement.
There is much anxiety on the part OF
frullmen, and if the strike is not speedily
settled the county will suffer loss of hun
dreds Of thousands of dollars. The opinion
is freely expressed that the Southern Pa
cic Company should refuse to carry Pull
mans and thus move trains pending set
tlement Indications are that tho firemen
will go out on the coast division this after
noon.
LIvERMoRE, CAL. June o. The great
railroad strike at last includes Livermore

vate cOnveyances to Hsywards, where they
took the electric line. A stage now runs
between here and Haywards for the ac-
commodatioD of the travelling public. The
freight trains are also tied up. The gas
works will have to shut down soon for
want of coal and the supply of ice is also

Guarding the Mail Cars.

The watch was maintained on the mail
cars all through the night and will not be
relaxed until the precious missives are
speeding to their destinations on a clear
road, whenever that may be. The most
stalwart policemen on the Oakland force
we're placed on the trains after
dark along with the deputies to
preserve order and quell any possible out
breaks against the employees. Their
efforts were not needed, except in the in
stauce where Engineer JefferiS' train was
the target for rocks at the Point, and as
this was over nearly as soon as begun,
they were not in that.
