SAN Francisco. CAL, July l3.-The rage
of regulars at Sacramento over the mang-
ling of their comrades by the strikers
| dltchhg the train of soldiers near treStle
on Wednesday found expression to-day
when Battery l. of the Fifth Artillery, to
| which the victims belonged. fired on a
crowd in the street at Sacramento and
MORALLY wounded two men, neither of
whom was striker. It seems that the
regulars were on top of flat-cars. which
were being switched in the yards. Sud.
denly, from building near by, shot
was fired ut the troops: They promptly
returned the fire, and Battery l., which
was guarding the street, advanced on the
crowd.
The mob was ordered to fall back, but
many refused, and, stones being thrown
at the soldiers, they opened fire, fatally
wounding Charles Stuart, who was form.
erly sailor on the Alliance, and Frank
Buckley, Butte county rancher. 1t is
said that four others were wounded.
Many of the strikers drew revolvers and
proposed to fight the troops, but Leader
Knox induced them to retire.
The sh ooting has made the strikers ugly,
and it is probable that tonight, under
cover of darkness, they will try to make
reprisals on the troops.
No overland trains have been sent out
from Sacramento to-day; but fruit train
was dispatched to Ogden. The precaution
was taken to place seven fruit cars in front
of the engine so that should the track be
tempered with in any place, no lives
would be lost. The delayed west-bound
overland train, which has been stuck at
Winnemuca, New, for two weeks, was
moved to-day under guard of Federal
troops. No violent striker will be taken
back to his old position on the Southern
Pacific. The Central Pacific is now prac-
tically open across the continent.

WEST OAKLAND, Call, July 17.-An
attempt was made last night to blow up
the local train connecting with the 8,
o'clock boat from San Francisco. A
cartridge of giant powder was placed
on the track. 1t did some damage to the
engine, but happily resulted in no injury
TO either the crew or the passengers.
The train was well filled and LETT the
Mole about 10 minutes late. When il
reached Kirkham street there was u
loud explosion, then a flash of flame,
followed by dense smoke. So strong
was the shock that the train was
brought to a sudden standstill. There
was much excitement among the pas
sengers and rush to escape through
the windows or over the gates.
The conclusion shattered the windows
of the cars and of residences along the
line of the track. The engine was
twisted and broken by the shock. No
one was injured.
