Four soldiers and an Engineer Meet Il
Horrible Death.


SACRAMENTO, Cal, July 12.-The
first train containing Pullmans in two
weeks left the depot yesterday for
San Francisco under a heavy guard of

scarcely three miles when a loosened
rail and some timbers sent the engine
and tender and two mail cars crashing
over the side of trestle into slough.

the following were killed outright or
died later: Samuel b. l.. Clarke, en-
gineer, Private Clarke, Private Byrne,
Private Luberding, Private Wesley
Dugan.
Privates Daumber, Wilson and Ellis

probably die
The engine lies on it's back in
slough by the side of broken bridge
Under the wreck in the ooze and
slough OF stagnant water lie the bod
les of the engineer who held the
throttle and three of the dead sol
diers. Private Dugan of Battery J.,
Fifth United States artillery, who was
on the tender of the engine, was
thrown to the shore of the slough
One of his arms was torn from the
socket and broken in three places and
his jaw broken. He died an hour
later.
The outrage has aroused the feder-
al soldiers to the bitterest wrath and
in case of a collision no mercy will be
shown to the strikers
Spurred on by the. heavy rewards
offered for the apprehension of the
men responsible for the disaster at
the trestle the peace officers at Sacra-
mento are unusually active The rail

launching Of the greatest railroad
cnterorise of the year. \ transcon-

The road surveyed and to be built
extends from Salt lake southerly and

AFTER THE MAoNATEs ALSO.
Federal Grand Jury Instructed to Inves-
tigate the General Mancers.


CHICAGO, July 14.-Judge Grosscup
called the federal grand jury before
him yesterday and after hearing a
statement from the foreman that
the jurorst desired to adjourn
this evening until Tuesday, in
order to return to their homes
for Sunday, and giving his con-
sent thereto, said: Il have some
thing more l desire to say. 1t is my
duty to give you further instructions.
No man is above the law The line
OF crlmlnality is not drawn between
classes, but between those who vio-
late the law and those who do not.
The fact that a man occupies high
position does not exempt him from
indictment or trial. The fact
that man occupies lower
position does not preclude
him from making known his
grievances. Your door ought to be
open.>U2ll who may come with evi-
dcnee THAT is tangible and not based
upon mere hearsay. 1t is stated i'll
the public prints that some of our
fellow citizens believe that the in
terference with the mails and inter-
state commerce was the result of
conspiracy among men higher in the
railroads than employees If two
or more men wrongfully agreed,
either for the purpose of creating
public sympathy, or for any other
purpose. to have the mails or inter
state commerce. stopped, they are
guilty of conspiracy. If two or more
men agreed wrongfully among them
selves for the purpose of creating
public sympathy, TO discharge men,
intending that their discharge would
stop the passage of mails or interstate
commerce, they are guilty of couspir-
acy. If two or more men wrongfully
agreed not to employ men TO take
the places of men who had quit
work, but allowed the trains to stand
still, in order to create public svm-
pathy, they would be guilty of con-
spiracy, unless the circumstances
were such that the employment of
new men would lead to danger to
those men or to the public interests.
Every man is entitled to bring his
complaint if he brings it with tang
iblc evidence 1t is the duty as we'll
as the pleasure of the district at
torney to submit such evidence to you
if it is presented and it is your duty
to hear it
1t is probable that the grand jury
will send for the kilograms sent and
received by the managers during the
strike, as was done with the teleprams
of DebS and the other leaders of the
strike.
