the ranks are mostly young. although
there are some who have seen upward OF
twenty-some more than thirty years
continuous service. They are clean-look-
ing. stalwart. hardy men who have seen
hard service in all parts OF the Union.
Some of them have passed through
many Indian campaigns. braving the
summer sun on the burning desertsi OF
Arizoua and the winter storms in the
Rocky Mountains. They are true SOL

to obey the orders OF their superiors and

The officers are experienced, Intelligent
men, who are thoroughly skilled In the
duties and discipline of military life, and,
as should always be the case, have the
esteem and respect OF their men.
A RECORD UNION reporter yesterday
talked with number of the men and
asked them how they were treated by
their superiors. The reply in every
instance was that the officers are gentle
men, and while firm disciplinarians are
kind and considerate toward the men.
Things are not as they used to be in
the army" said one veteran of the ranks,
You will find that there is a better class
OF men in the service to-day than ever
before, and the same is true of the
officers. Our men have every conf

Meeting of Soldier Friends After
Lapse of Forty Years.
Yesterday General George B. Cosby
was informed that Lieutenant Colonel
Guenther, one Of the officers in command
of the regulars, desired to see him, and
the General called at the headquarters to
see his friend and companion OF long ago.
AS he passed through the groups of SOL
diers at the depot several of them turned
to look at him a second time.
81 don't know that man." said one
bronzed warrior to comrade, "but I'll
stake my months pay that he has been a
soldier"
"Yes,' replied the other, land an Off
cer."
Nearly forty years had elapsed since
General Cosby and Colonel Guenther had
met. The former graduated at West
Point before the latter entered as a ca
det, and was one of the instructors there
while Guenther was obtaining his mill
tary education. Afterward Cosby served
in the army in Texas and New Mexico,
ard when the civil war broke out he and
his pupil followed different lines and
drifted far apart.
They had never met from the time they
separated at West Point, in the fifties
For each life had been ''sweet and bitter,
strangely mixed-they both had changed
since then" When last they met they
were both in the prime of their youth,
but now each has across the summit of

Wreckers' Plot.

some Additional Facts Concerning the
Wreckers' Plot.
In it's report yesterday of the arrest OF
S. D. Worden on charge of murder, in
connection with the wrecking OF the
train sent out from here on the preceding
day and the killing of five men, the
RECORD UNION gave barely an outline of
the evidence in the possession of the
officers. This was in obedience to the re-
quest OF Marshal Baldwin, who was
working up the case and did not want to
have the cause of justice iniscarry by the
premature publication OF matters con-
nected with the great crime. Much of
this evidence cannot now be given, but
the public may rest assured that the Fed
eral authorities know what they are
about, and that when the facts ali come
out some of the men who have by voice
and financial aid helped along this MUIR
derous conspiracy will be appalled, at
their own subserviency to the dictates of
designing criminals who have been mas
querading under the guise of champions
of oppressed labor.
The boy who drove Worden and his
co-conspirators TO where their hellish
work was to be done was John Sherburn,
boy ii years old, who was engaged by
OF the stable, TO drive Worden to Bright
on, that being his alleged destination.
Herein was the fatal mistake of the
conspirators, for they might have known
that sooner or later their infamy would
come to light. from the fact that even a
boy was on hand to watch them.
Instead of going to Brighton, however,
the boy was told by Worden and his
three comrades to drive to a certain place.
where they aiighted and shortly after
ward returned and entered the carriage
They then drove over into Y olo County
ana to some cars on sidetrack, a short
distance from the bridge, where TIE boy
was made to leave the carriage and enter
a cabOose.
From a window the boy watched the
movements of the men and saw them
place in the vehicle a crow bar, a wrench.
a rifle and some cartridges. There three
more men Joined the party, and the boy
was called on to drive. When they had
gone about two miles the men stopped,
alighted and took the articles from the car
riage. They walked off up the railroad
track toward the trestle. and were soon
lost TO sight in the willows that line the
railroad.
After while they returned to the car
riape and told young Sherburn to drive
off along the road toward Woodland.
When they had gone about eight miles
all of the men left the carriage, except
Wordeu. who directed the boy TO drive
back TO the city.
When they came in sight of the wreck
the boy called ~ ordens attention TO 1t,
bat the latter said nothing. A short dis
tance farther on they overlook small
group of men whom Norden knew, and
they were taken into the carriage. On

TROUBLE ON FRONT STREET.

Two Men Shot at. but Arrested With
out Bloodshed.
There was considerable excitement on
the river front about half-past 4 o'clock
yesterday afternoon. Company D of the
Third Regiment, Second Brigade, Ma
tional Guard was detailed to clear the
yard and tracks about the freight sheds
from l street to NJ. A portion of the men
took up their position on Front street
and cleared that thoroughfare to the east
side.
There a large crowd of strikers assem-
bled, mostly about the corner of Front
and /, while a mob of several hundred
curiOsity-seekers gathered at various
points further down the street. Some OF
The strikers and others manifested dis
position not to obey the orders of the
soldiers to keep off the street, and finally
it became necessary to order bayonet
charge.
Then the fun commenced. J street,
from Front to Second, was packed with
people, and when the National Guards
men set their guns and made rush the
way the mob poured back into Second
street was caution. Those who had got
the notion that the militiamen could not
be depended on TO charge the strikers
were very forcibly disabused OF that mis-
take.
The truth is, the National Guardsmen
have been wrought up to the fighting
point by the tieudish outrage committed
by the strikers on Wednesday, IN wreck
ing the train west OF this city. The men
have lost whatever sympathy they may
have felt for the strikers week ago or
repugnance to firing on them. The pres
ence OF the regulars has also had the eff
feet of arousing their pride to the extent
that if now brought to tace real danger it
is not believed there is man in the ranks
who would finch from doing his duty.
This spirit was shown when the order
was received TO clear the tracks between
the freight sheds and the river. The SOL
diers, in going through there, came upon
a couple of Frenchmen who were appar-
emily bent on fishing. They were ordered
to leave there, but refused, and when the
soldiers started for them they ran in an
other direction.
Out came half-dozen pistols in flash,
and fourteen shots in all were fired at
them. The two men attempted to break
through the lines, but finding that the
soldiers meant business, and that their
lives were in danger. they surrendered.
They were marched to the guardhouse at
the depot.
Railroad officer Ben True identified
one of the men as a passenger from the
East who had been detained here, and it
was thought last night that he would be
set at liberty. The other was friend of
his, but what disposition Colonel Gra-
ham intended to make of him could not
be learned.
The shooting caused considerable ex-
element, and ali sorts of rumors were
set afioat. One was that the shots were
fired from the Yolo side of the river, and
that four soldiers had been killed.
One man went up town. and declared
that he saw two dead or wounded men
borne away OH stretchers, but the truth is
not drop of blood was shed.
Just after the shooting big fellow un-
dertook to pass the guards at Front and
j streets, but had to quit. 1t required a
good sharp prod of bayonet in the rear,
however to make him move fast enough
to suit the sentries.

GOVERNOR MARKHAM.

Not Had Time Yet to size Up the situ-

Governor Markham was asked by a
RECORD UNION reporter yesterday what
his opinion was of the strike situation,
the use of Federal troops and the Presi-
dents proclamation.
he stated that he would prefer not to
say anything upon the subject just at
present until he had an opportunity to
look over the ground and see what the
situation actually is.
Il have only just arrived here" said
he, and am endeayoring TO gain intorma-
ton on the subject. l have had several
similar requests from newspapers in New

PEELED TO make the same answer to them"

An Informal Wedding.

"Soon after | entered the ministry -
said clergyman, Il was asked to Off
ciate at wedding. A farmer, who lived
not many miles from where | was To-
Gated, called on me one morning and in
vited me to spend that evening at his
house and, incidentally, to marry his
daughter. He told me to call early, as it
had not been decided just what time the
wedding would come off, and it had been
arranged to give the guests a grand, good
time.' He impressed upon me that the
whole affair was to be very informal. I
accordingly presented myself at the house
early in the evening and found large
company already assembled. Some were
playing games in one room, while others
chatted sociably in another. AS the
evening wore on, some of the guests
asked for music. and the bride-elect per-
formed on the melodeon, while the future
partner of her joys and sorrows exerted
his energies upon the violin.
.'At last, when 10 o'clock came and no
signs were manifested regarding the we'd
ding, and | was on the point of asking
my host if he had concluded to postpone
the ceremony. the bride-elect herself
stepped up to my SIDE and whispered in
my ear, L guess this is as good time as
any, amt it?' When / assured her that
no better hour could possibly have been
chosen. she beckoned her lover to where
she was standing. and after few hurried
words they both approached me hand in
hand. By this time hush had fallen
upon the guests, as the whispered con-
versation between the bride and myself
had warned them that the expected event
was about to happen. Just then a
thought seemed to strike the brides
mother, and she requested US all to ad-
journ to the diningroom and have the
wedding there. | accordingly took up
my stand at the end of the long table,
with the contracting parties on either
side with hands joined across the table,
and in that position performed the cere-
mony that made them man and wife. As
soon as / had finished the groom walked
around to where the bride was standing,
and taking her in his arms. gave her a
hearty smack, after which he returned to
his seat and made vigorous attack upon
| the supper. .o-St Louis Globe Democrat.

there were section-hands there patroling
the road, and that no fires had occurred

Il saw riot yesterday. 1t made my

and women, mostly foreigners, drag a
brakeman, an American. from train
where he was performing his duty and
earning an honest living.
II was astonished to find men of busi-
ness. ordinarily right thinking men, say
ing that the mob did right, as this is a
free country, and man had a right TO
prevent another man from working!

HARPER'S
Pictorial History
or THE
Civil w ar.

This great book has sold for years
at $40 to $50 in two big volumes.
The pages are 164xII1 inches.
There are 832 pages. Lots of maps
and sketches, and one big colored
map 23x33 inches.
People wanted them, but couldn't
afford sI6 and kept asking for the
old "Harpers Weekly during the
War" After the pictures had been
put into this big, new, complete his
tory, the old Weekly plates were de-
stroyed and now those files are scarce.
But the big history was so inter-
esting, and, being compiled from all
the official records, was SO COM
plete and valuable that thousands
bought it.
Now it is all cut up and everybody
is getting it and being surprised.
1t is made into rs big parts, ga
big pages in each, and printed on
nice supercalendered paper-better
than ever before-and has a hand
some buff cover with emblematic de-
sign on each part.
The parts have sold as high as 81
each, but can be got for only cents
each if you know how. The
pictures alone are worth more than
that, but the story and copies OF
many official documents and state
papers of priceless historic value, all
go in with the pictures.
