his note for the amount, and this note,
though long overdue, he had neglected to

pay it. A. rubbed his hands with glea.

WORDEN IS The MAN
Arrested for DitGhing the Train at
Sacramento.
GoMPERs is STILL CONSERVATIVE
John Sherburn Tells How the Bridge
Was Destroyed at Sacramento
and Who Did 1t.
The Bridge Tragedy.

SACRAMENTO, July II. - A startling
story was told by John Sherburn, boy.
He is the son of Major Sherburn, who is
we'll known here. According to his con-
fession, which is now in the hands of
the proper authorities, S. d. Worden,
who is under arrest for ditching the
overland train yesterday, which resulted
in the death of Engineer Clark and three
soldiers, approached him yesterday
morning and asked him if he would
drive him and several friends to Yolo
county. Sherburn accepted the offer,
and few minutes later four strikers
drove up in three-seated rig. Worden
and Sherburn jumped into the wagon,
and the latter was told to drive to Yolo
county. After crossing the bridge Sher-
burn was ordered to drive along the road
leading to the scene of yesterdays
wreck. When they reached the latter
place Sherburn was ordered to alight
from the wagon, and told by Worden to
step into the caboose of freight train,
which was standing close by. The boy
obeyed, but from a window in the
caboose he saw Worden and his COM
panions take from an empty car, which
was attached to the freight train, rife,
several boxes of cartridges. a monkey
wrench and a crowbar. The articles
were placed in the wagon and Sherburn,
after being tod to come out of the
caboose, was ordered to drive to Davis
vile. When some distance from the
latter place, the articles were taken from
the wagon and Worden and the con-
spirators started up the track, after tell
ing the boy to remain in charge of the
team. After waiting for some time the
friends returned and ordered Sherburn
to drive to Woodland. During the trip
the boy heard Worden remark with a
fiendish grin:
''I used to fire with that and
before many minutes his = soul will be
in -
When Woodland was reached, the
murderers, with the exception of Wor-
den, alighted and walked up the road.
The latter remained in the wagon and
ordered Sherburn to drive back to the
city. 1t was not until the two-mile
trestle was reached that Sherburn real
lied what had happened. He silently
surveyed the wrecked train, but was
afraid to question Worden, as he
thought he might kill him. When the
Yolo bridge was reached Worden alighted
from the wagon and ordered Sherburn
to return the team to the stable. Con-
vinced that Worden and his friends
were responsible for the ditching of the
train, he Immediately notified the
authorities. Worden and several other
strikers were then arrested for murder.
This afternoon Sherburn was taken to
the county Jail and positively identified
Worden. He was unable to recognize
the other prisoners. 1t is expected that
more arrests will be made tonight. II
is known at least seven men are respon-
sible for the wreck.

Six Practical sugpestions.

CHIcAGo, July 12.- The strike situa-
ton throughout the country today was,
in general, one of q1ietness. The CEN
trail point of interest has been the meet
ing of the labor leaders with President
Gompers, of the Federation of labor, at
the labor headquarters in the city. It is
admitted that the action of that body,
if taken unanimously, will have a
marked effect on the Situation, and per-
sons well informed as to the predictions
of the persons composing it express the
opinion that unanimous action by it,
excepti in the direction of quoting the
present agitation or turning it into
other channels, is unlikely. Itisknown
that several suggestions are being con-
sidered by the leaders. Among them
are the following:
First, that the striking Pullman en-
ployes, on high patriotic grounds, ap
peal to President .Debs to declare the
strike off by reason of the infinite dam
The Dalles daily chronicle. [volume] (The Dalles, Or.) 1890-1948, 1894-07-14
age which is being done to the business

age which is being done to the business,
of the country.
Second, that the leaders unite in an
appeal to the public to quit patronizing
Pullman sleeping cars, drawing-r DOM
and dining-cars.
Third, that President Cleveland be re-
quested to appoint committee to in
vestigate the strike and the causes
which led up to it, in expectation that
the report of such commission would
justify the action taken by the strik-
ers and free them from the charges of
rioting and disorder.
Fourth, that immediate efforts be
made to secure the impeachment of At
torney General Olney.
Fifth, that an effort be made to secure
the passage of compulsory arbitration
law by congress.
Sixth, that complaints be lodged look
ing to the indictment of the railway
man ayers for conspiracy to obstruct the
movement of the United States mails
by refusing to run mail cars except in
connection with Pullman.

threw down their tools and joined in the
general sympathetic strike, which was
inaugurated yesterday. AS is usual in
such cases, the strike affects the large
shops far more than the smaller ones,
where only a few men are employed.
Promptly at - o'clock the 700 men en-
ployed by Fraser & Chalmers laid down
their tools and went on strike Be-
fore doing so, they had notified Presi-
dent W. j. Chalmers of their intention,
and held conference, wherein the men
stated their position. They uaid they
had no complaint against the company,
nor any grievances of any kind, but had
been ordered to strike out of sympathy,
and would do so to show their senti-
ments. Mr.. Chalmers made a speech,
in which he said he hoped that the
strike would cause no hard feeling be-
tween the company and its employees.
and with handshake and we'll wishes
all around, the men left, and the big
shop, which few minutes before had
been all hustle and confusion, was silent.
Over 100 men employed by the Gates
Iron Company walked out at the same
hour, and number of other shops were
affected.

A SAD MIsNoMER.
The Term sold Maid" Is Almost Always
Mfsapplied.

The Term ''OId Maid Is Almost Always
Misapplied.
L lately heard an amusing new defini-
ton to the term ''old maid,'' which
was held to apply. not to elderly spin
sters in general, but only to such as
had never had a chance OF changing
their condition; those who ''would not
when they could,'' or whose course of
true love has run rough, receiving the
more respectful title of maiden
ladies' The idea emanates from a
masculine brain, but the difficulty of
ascertaining which designation ap-
plies in individual cases is a problem
which the superior male intellect has
not condescended to solve, says the
Ladies' Pictorial.
Are old maids under this definition
to be expected to wear some particular
form of cap, or have their hat cut in
special fashion,, or add the letters
so. M" to their visiting cards? I am
convinced that there are very few
women indeed whose experience has
failed to include love affair of some
kind, and of these few only a small
minority would acknowledge the fact.
more correct idea of the term, it
seems to me, and one which takes away
its old-fashioned sting, is that it de-
scribes certain type of woman ire
spective of her condition in life. The
prim, narrow-minded person who fuses
over trifles, who would leave matters
of the most paramount duty or engross-
ing interest in order to put tidy a
drawer or sew on a button; who goes
all her life in fear of Mrs. Grundy, and
would leave any kind action undone,
or kind word unsaid, if it ran the
slightest risk of offending that poten-
tate, would be old-maidish in spite of
any number of matrimonial ventures;
while, on the other hand, there are
plenty of 1iberal-minded, youthful
hearted old misses to whom the epithet
is SO obviously unsui table that no one
thinks of applying it.
