RAVLIN SENT TO JAIL.
Ho IL Arrested for Inciting Persons to
Insurrection.

Ho IL Arrested for Inciting Persons to
| Insurrectton.
Rev. N. F. Ravlin, who was indicted
by the federal grand jury yesterday
morning, was arrested at 3 O'Clock yes
terday afternoon. and in default of $1,000
bonds was sent to jail.
The indictment charges Ravlin with
"willfully, unlawfully and feloniously in.
citing large number of people to rebel
lion and insurrection against the
authority of the United States and the
laws thereof on last Monday night, in
an address at Hazards pavilion.
Ravlin was arrested by Deputy United
States Marshal +. B. Goodrich, at his
home on Hill street, between Second
and Third. The marshal arrested him
just before Ravin reached his home, as
he thought the shock might endanger
the life of Mrs. Ravlin, who ia seriously
i'll. He made no resistance, and was
taken quietly to the federal court.
RavlIn called upon several friends to
go upon his bond, but in each instance,
with the exception of DR.. Wise. they
were absent. Finding no bondsmen, he
quietly submitted to being taken to the
county Jail. He cared not for his i'm
prsonment except on account of his
WIFE,, for whom he expressed much
emotion.
Ravlin came to this city several years
ago, whore he has since posed as leader
and speaker OF the First Spiritual So
ciety. He created reputation in San
Jose years ago as Baptist preacher,
and was known later as Unitarian.
Dropping these Creed6 he drifted into
spiritualism. and is deemed one of the
beat workers in that cause in this city.
In bis remarks he ia usually rabid and
very open, saying things which might
lead some people to think that he ia
crank. If his speech is true as reported
he made come very .uncalled for re-
marks at the mass meeting last Monday
night. He referred to Judge Ross in a
very insinuating manner and declared
that he would never be arrested by
policeman or o deputy marshal for
causes which have prompted the strikers
in doing as they have.

to their demands. From the beginning
OF our present trouble our company has
been willing and has endeavored in
every possible way to run all Of its
trains, butwe are prevented by physical
force from even running local and sub
urban trains where Pullman cars are not
used. Thus you see the strikers are
determined, through physical force, to
prevent the running of trains carrying
passengers, mails, express, fruit, live
stock, coal. ice, provisions and all neces-
saries OF life.
Their policy is to make their unlawful
acts as widely felt 40 possible; therefore
you will see there is nothing for US to do
but to appeal to state and federal au-
tnorities. We are not parties to the
controversy underlying this issue, and
are therefore not in position to appear
in any arbitration OF the difficulty.
Whether or not the laws of the state
and the United States shall be enforced,
is question which the Southern Pacific
company has no power to submit to ar
bitration. A. N. TowNE.

BLANToN DUNCANs SUITS.
Ono Against Judge Ross and One Against

Ono Against Judge Ross and One A gainst
the Times.
Col. Blanton Duncan yesterday fled a
complaint in the superior court of Los
Angeles county against Judge E. N.
Ross, of the United States court. charg-
ing him with elander. and asking dam
ages in the sum OF $4,000.
He bases his complaint upon the
refusal of Judge Ross to admit him to
practice in his court.
In his complaint Blanton Duncan says
he was admitted to the bar OF the
United States dircuit court for the cir.
cult OF Louisiana in 1868, was ad-
mitted to the bar OF Kentucky in 1S47
and has been member Of the appellate
bar OF the United States circuit court of
honorable standing in those courts, and
that Judge Ross, without authority Of
law or statute, refused to admit him,
thereby branding him with falsehood.
Ho says the court stated in court
room Glled with people and looking at
him: Zone thing is absolutely certain,
and that is that no man, it makes no
difference who he is, will be permitted
if he advises opposition to the court and
the laws"
Mr.. Duncan claims that the actions
and words of Judge Ross were not with
in the purview and scope of his author
ity as a Judge. to insult and injure a
citizen of probity, sobriety and good
morals, and the wide publicity given to
them has greatly injured him.
Blenton Duncan also filed complaint
against the Los Angeles Times, charging
it with libel in an editorial in which it
refere to him as an ''erratic bloviator."
The damages asked are $25, 900.

that the strike will not be raised, unless
the Pullman company at Chicago will
consent to return to tho wages paid

Speaking OF the situation, Superinten-
dent Muir OF the Yuma division OF the
Southern Pacific said: 1T is only a
question of time when the matter will
be settled. We are reorganizing our
railway forces from the bottom up, and
are meeting with comparative success.
We shall endeavor to have traffic re-
sumed without regard to our old en-
ployees, most of whom hsve resigned.
As to whether any of them will work or
will be offered positions, am not pre-
pared to say. The company is going
steadily on in its endeavor to get out
trains and restore traffic at the earliest
possible moment. We are securing
forces as fast as possible to this end"
Special Assistant United States At
torney Joseph H. Call, when asked re-.
gsrding the position OF the government
and his opinion of the situation, said
that he had little or nothing to add to
the interview from him published in
yesterdays HERALD. He said that the
railway companies had been placed in
exactly the same position as the strikers,
and the government would serve each
alike.
United States Attorney George ].
Denis said yesterday that the effect of
placing the railway companies in the
same boat with the strikers, so far as
the mails we're concerned, had the ef-
feet of sending out four trains Thursday
and one or two yesterday. The public,
he thought. had not given the govern
ment proper credit for this important
service.
A number OF strikers were interviewed
yesterday regarding the strike, but each

Three Trains Depart and Four Arrive
from Local Points.
The Santa Fe were able to movo three
trains to local points yesterday. One
was sent to San Diego, one to Santa Mon
lea and Redondo and one around the
kite shape track. The train to San Diego
went down and back and made very fair
time. The train Was scheduled to leave
at 8:15. but it was little after 8 when
Engineer Milligan. a non-union man,
pulled the throttle OF engine No. 20, with
Fireman Curtis as mate, and steamed
away. George Knowlton, the yard
master, acted ss conductor, and Tom
DAILY did the braking. Five deputies
also went along. The mail and express
was very heavy. A very quick run was
made down, and at II 80 the train left
San Diego upon the return trip. No
demonstration was made at any point.
Just as the San Diego train pulled ont
a train from the Needles arrived with Is
deputy mRrehals in charge of party OF
l6 railroad men who had been cited to
appear before the United States court.
The engine was brought down by @. +.
Prescott, the new master mechanic. The
deputies are the same who left here four
days ago by team for Pasadena, and
then took the train for Barstow. They
were accompanied down this far by
James Faris, deputy OF San Bernsr-
dino. The latter reported tho situstisn
at the latter place as quiet. the men ell
being under the restraint Of the iniunc-
zion.

Today the question of whether the
railway companies or the strikers are
the strongest in this city will be settled,
for both the Southern Pacific and Santa
Fe announce that they will attempt to
move their overland trains with Pull
mans today. 1t is probable that this
will be done without trouble. Certainly
Colonel Skaters two gstling guns and
his 300 warriors are enough to prevent

but the travelling public did not appar-
emily put much confidence in the skill
or competency OF the new train crews,
as travel was reported as light.
In the federal court Rev. Ravlin was
found to be of the character of those
people that used to be drawn and quar-
tered for treason, and the grand jury
indicted him for his utterances in a silly
speech he made on Monday night at the
pavilion. He spent last night in the
county Jail, being unable to furnish bail

A funny fuss existed in the United

that thoroughly partizan Republican,
Capt. w. Fl. Seamans, was asked to &C.
cept the appointment of temporary mar
shal, and then wanted to resign because
he could not turn out the Republican
deputies he found in the office. A COM

Afternoon Hosafon.

The crowd at the afternoon session of
the United States circuit court was even
larger than that which thronged the
room in the forenoon. The court was
remarkable for the shortness of it's res
sion, for the entire proceedings did not
consume over five minutes.
The most important event which was
expected to take place-a decision in
the Heartt contempt case-failed to be
announced, and thus the curious mind
ed and others were sorely disappointed.
AS court will be convened again at 10 80
o'clock this morning, it may be proba-
BILE that decision will be rendered at
that hour.
The only business transacted in the
afternoon was the motion OF Messrs.
Stephens and Waters, attorneys for tho
strikers, asking that the indictments
against W. Fl. Clune, A. T. Johnson.
Isaac Ross, Phillip Stanwood, a man
named Gallagher and one named Bu-
chanan. be set aside on the ground that
at the time they were returned the grand
jury WAS in moro or less biased and
prejndiced state of mind. As the de-
PENDANTS had not been held to answer by
the commissioner, it was admissible,
argued Attorney Stephens, that the in
dictmsnts could be set aside, as in the
state courts.
The motion was entertained by Judge
Ross. who explained that as it was a
very important legal point. the law on
the case should be carefully looked into.
The motion will probably be either
granted or denied at this mornings ses-
sion OF the court.
The men were indicted on two counts,
one for conspiracy to obstruct che United
States mails, and otbe other for conspir-
acy with the intent to prevent goods and
passengers from being carried from one
state to another-a violation OF the in
terstate commerce act.
