carpenter, says he and some hunting
companions were within six miles OF

seemed. Lowe says, as if the world was
coming to an end. This occurred on the
north side of the mountain. Rocks were
piled over a hundred feet high in Puyal-
lup River, and returning they crossed
the debris OF an avalanche which was of
great depth. half a mile wide ana four or
tive miles long. 1t was early Wednesday
evening that slight earthquake shock
was felt at Tacoma.

but in anticipation that the defense would
claim that these were the men who
wrecked the train, as indicated by the
cross-questioning of the witnesses, it was
decided to place them on the stand.
j. Il. Bryant. boilermaker, was at the
trestle west of the scene of the wreck.
He was one of the body Of armed men
who were sent from the American Rail
way Union headquarters to guard the
track on the day of the wreck. lie Iesti-
lied that when the explosion took place
at the trestle he wanted to flag the train,
but was prevented by the otner strikers.
They all then became frightened and ran
across the fields to the river and were
taken across 10 Sacramento by Hem
berger, the fisherman.

nothing new. and did not shake the wit
ness testimony in the least. He said
when he went out there he supposed he
was going Tor good purpose, but found
out that the train was to be ditched. and
became frightened ana ran as fast as he
could for the river. lie threw his gun
away as he ran, but afterwards went back
and threw it into the river. He wanted
TO tlag the train, but was told that he
would be shot if he did.
George w. Averiil was another of the
armed strikers who stayed ali night at
the west end OF the trestle. He saw the
explosion, and also saw the carriage drive
away Immediately after. He then made
1oI Sacramento as fast as his legs would
carry him.
On cross examination Averill said he
was out at the scene by the orders Of
Harry Knox. Provisions were sent out
TO the men by the a. II. u. He had been
promised no reward for his testimony.
After a short recess George A. Knob
laugh, one of the strikers, who went back
TO work for the company on July 23d,
was called. He was another Of the men
who were at the west end of the trestle
when the wreck occurred. He told the

The United States warship Kearsarge
Struck ON a Reef and sank-The
Entire Crew Saved.

Washington specials: The old United
States steamship Kearsarge is wreck
on Roncador reef. The Kearsarge
sailed from Port-au-Prin &c, Hayti, on
Jan. 30, for Bluefields, Nicaragua, to
protect American interests there in
view of the invasion of the military
of Honduras. She was wrecked three
days ago.
Roncador reef is a little over 200
miles from the Mosquito coast of Cen
trail America. Between the coast and
the reef lies Old Providence Island,
only rs or so miles TO leeward of the
reef. 1t is believed at the navy de-
partment that the officers and crew
would be able to reach Old Providence
without difficulty, in case they were in
danger of their lives on the reef, and
it is believed that they would be safe
on the reef except in the event of
rough weather.
After the wreck Lieut.. Brainard
reached Colon in six days, and for
warded the news of the wreck to the
navy department. An immediate re-
ply was sent him to at once procure a
steamer and hasten to the relief of the
shipwrecked crew. The Kearsarge was
in command of Commander +. Heyer-
man. Admiral Stanton was on the
Kearsarge. When the New York and
Detroit were dispatched to Rio de
Janeiro the Kearsarge was made the
flagship of the north Atlantic squad
ron, and Admiral Stanton, after the
secretary of the navy had acted on his
report of his salute of De Mello in Rio
bay, was ordered to proceed TO Port au
Prince and transfer his flag TO the
Kearsarge and assume command of the
station.
The Roncaeor reef is well known to
mariners in those waters as danger
Gus impediment to navigation. Efforts
have been made recently to secure the
erection of lighthouse on this point.
Some time ago, when Warner Miller
and officers of the Nicaragua Canal
company were on their way to Near
aqua, they were wrecked on this same
point.
The steamer Kearsarge was made
famous by her short but decisive battle
with the confederate steamer Alabama,
June 10, 1864, in the Cherbourg break
water off Flushing, Holland, four
miles off the shore, and in neutral
waters. The conflict was the most
brilliant and interesting in the whole
records of American naval warfare, the
actual fight lasting barely forty min
utes. The KeaI sarge was then in her
prime and apparently as invincible as
the New Hampshire mountain after
which she was named. The confeder-
ate Alabama has destroyed nearly all
of the northern commerce and was be-
lieved unconquerable. The Kearsarge
was commanded by Rear Admiral John
a. Winslow; the Alabama by Capt
Semmes. The Sunday naval battle
was fought in the presence of $4,000
spectators, who looked on from the
nights of Cherbourg of the rigging of
the shipping in the harbor, the differ
eDce in the quality of the smoke caused
by the Kearsarge burning Newcastle
and the Alabama Welsh coal, made
each ship appear plainly distinct from
its rival.
