RiotInr at Oakland.


 SAN FRANCISCO, July 1.-The South ern Pacific Railway company. backed by the combined military forces of the fed eral and state governments, continues to maintain fairly satisfactory passenger service in northern California Notwith- standing this military array, however. tho railroad officials have been unable to retrieve the lost management of their freight business. The passenger service, too, Is by no means restored. for trains are still sidetraCked at night as n precau- tionary measure against train wrcCkcrs
 In Oakland the strikers formed into several riOtous mobs of 200 to 300 men each All incoming and outgoing pas senger trains were so strongly guarded that they were not interfered with, but the fury of these mobs fell upon such luck less nonunion men as the strikers were able to waylay to and from their work
 Several times the troops were called out to dispcrse the rioters and rescue nonunion men.
 A freight train was started from the Seventh street crossing, and the nununion men in charge of the train found thcm- selves at the mercy of a mob of strikers. A striker had managed to climb aboard and cut the airbrake. The train was stalled, and the rioters who were soon swarming about had drawn all the coup ling pins. Then a troop of cavalry and a company of militia camo down upon tine mob. The cavalrymen used their sahcrs and clubbed with their pistols and foot soldiers prodded freely with their bayo. nets. In the struggle two shots were fired by the soldiers, though no one was hit Mob Dispersed, but Train Abandoned. The strikers were finally put to flight. A number of the rioters found refuge in | the cottage of n striker. The soldiers fol lowed, raided the house and arrested, 21 men. Several of the rioters were badly cut and bruised. The freight train was | run into n side track and abandoned. Aft | or this occurrence the soldiers going on trains as guards were given positive or. | ders to shoot any one who attempted to tnterfere with any train. Finauy a freight train was sent out guarded by about COG | militia

The railway company announces that several fruit trains will be dispatched from Sacramento tonight or wednesia. morning. Owing to the recent burning of a trestle in the Siskiyou region, nS trains hayo been sent out on tho Oregon branch. A train will probably be dis patched for Portland tomorrow.

ATKINSON AND THE RINGS.
The Candidate From COWeta a MaRip-
ulatOT When Speaker.

He Is on Record as a Leading Worker
For the Legislative Slate on Judges
and collaboration. Evans Friends
to Explode Bomb on the Subject in
Few Days.
Atlanta, Ca, April 6.-The oft repeated
campaign charge, made by Hon. w. Y.
Atkinson, that Gen. Evans is the repre-
sentative of the Atlanta ring is
destined to prove a boomerang TO the
gubernatorial aspirations of the gentle
man from Coweta. Mr.. Atkinson has en-
phasized his Atlanta ring' agreement in
all of his speeches since he undertook his
canvass for the governorship, his purpose
being to appeal to the prejudices of those
who draw the line between city aud
county. The effect of this charge against
Gen. Evans has been to stir
his friends up on the subject of
MIR. Atkinson's own record as a
ring politician, and an expose is under
stood to be almost ready to spring that
will make the Coweta statesman wish he
had never heard of political ring. 1t is
a well-known fact that most of the judges
and solicitors elected by the last general
assembly were parties TO "a slate" in
fact, the slate for judges and solicitors
has been in existence for some time back,
though it presented a holder front last
session than in previous elections.
ATKINSON AS A MANIPULATOR.
At the time Mr. Atkinson, who was
speaker of the House, was given much
credit for the manipulation of the slate,
and among the successful candidates he
accepted this credit with smiling gratiti-
catien He was the trump card in the
pack then, and the development of his
gubernatorial campaign shows this same
old hand of judges and solicitors is still
in the game. AS the campaign has pro
gressed Gen Evans friends have quietly
been at work on a little list, which shows
that the Judges and solicitors who APP
peared upon the legislative states are Mr..
Atkiusons most devoted adherents
They are running his campaign for
him In some cases they boast
that they will be able to quietly
carry their counties for him, and in
almost every instance, the friends of Gen.
Evans have discovered that the court
house cliques are trying to get control of
the county machinery for Mr. AtkinsOn's
benefit. Along with the expose of Mr..
Atkinson's urelatons with the court
house rings, which have had
things pretty much their own
way of recent years IL is understood that
Gen. Evans friends contemplate going
before the people upon the question Of
making the offices of Judges and solicitors
elective by the people, instead of by the
legislature in order TO break up the
present combination and prevent slate
making in the future. If this issue is
made Mr. Atkinson will have a lively
time of 1t from now on to the end.

A PRosPERoUs COUNTY.
Notes in Respect to Politics and Farm
Matters.

Matters.
Irwinville April 6.--Judge Smith who
is holding court here this week, is very
popular with the people.
There is much interest taken in politics
IN this county. The people of Irwinville
are with the administration, and they en-
gia congressman who made such
unfavorable comments upon the
veto, would feel lonesome in this sec
tion. They would feel like they had
made a political mistake. The people
here are for Cleveland and sound money,
and "agin" any one who opposes the ad-
ministration They think that our
Georgia congressman are wrong.
This county is almost unit for Mr..
Atkinson for governor.
G.. k Wilcox and ]. A j. Henderson
will measure lances with each other for
senatorial honors. Mr.. Henry Fletcher
is already in the field for represen tative
and the numerous friends of Capt. r.
w. Clements are trying to get
him to announce himself for the legisla-
ture In fact, old Irwin is not unlike the
other counties She has plenty of
patriotic citizens who are willing to serve
the dear people in every position from
coroner TO congressman.
The governor did not please the people
here in appointing MIR. Walsh. They say
MIR Walsh is not in accord with his party.
Irwin is perhaps, one of the most pros
porous counties in our state. The
soil is productive, and her citi-
zens are energetic. They have full
barns and smokehouses. The health Of
this section is unsurpassed, and the
county has perhaps more heavy weight
men than any other county in wiregrass
Georgia. They believe in good stock,
horses and mules. Texas ponies are not
wanted.
The people of the county are we'll in
formed. They patronize the newspapers
literally and there are but few homes In
the county but has a good daily or weekly
newspaper.
The Abbeville and Waycross railroad is
doing paying business, although it only
has twenty miles of railway completed.
The train makes two trips daily from
Abbeville to Lulaville. The roadbed is in
excellent condition, and under the man
agement of Receiver s. p. Lassiter and
General Agent Il. T. Brady the road is

cert on Yesterdays Programme.


Albany, Ga, April 6-This has been a
red letter day for the Sixth Georgia
Chautauqua. Crowds have thronged the
city and attended the varied exercises at
the big tent tabernacle. The lecture of
Hon Lionel c. Levy, of Columbus this
morning, on As Old as Mathusaleh in
the Nineteenth Century was magniti-
cent, and universally conceded to be one
of the most classical productions ever
heard on the Chautauqua platform.
This afternoon was devoted to a grand
concert, and tonight eX-Gov Robert L.
Taylor, of Tennessee, delighted an
audience of over 1000 people with his
lecture on The Fiddle and the Bow
Tomorrow is Recognition day when

place, followed by an athletic exhibition
of the physical training department.

session will be preached by Rev. George
Il. Eager
This session of the assembly has made
it a fixture. 1t has already been decided
that the next session of the Chautauqua
will be held under moro favorable
auspices than heretofore, which means
that grand Chautauqua temple
will be ready within another year.
1t is impossible to measure the grand and
uplifting results of this institution 10
Southwest Georgia and only those who
have seen and participated in its educa-
tional and elevating influence can appreci-
ate the scope OF its grand work.

PAoKwooD MURDER TRIAL.
The Evidence Against the Accused
Not Conclusive Yet.

~ OL CONCLUSIVE L Gbs
Jacksonville. Fla, April "a special
to the Times-Union, from Tavares, Fla,
says: This was the fifth day of the
Packwood murder trial, and at least one
witness has been introduced who places
the defendants near the Packwood resi-
dence on the night of the murder This
witness is a negro. He testified that
about 10 O'Clock on the night when
the murders are supposed to have been
committed he saw three men resembling
the defendants going in the direction of
the PackwoOd place. He thought one Of
these men was McRaC. one of the defend
ants, and so hailed him, but getting no
answer, he became frightened al the
movements of the men and left
Other parties testified as to hearing
gun shots IN the direction of the Pack
wood place on the night of the murder.
DIR Goodwin, who examined the body
of Miss Bruce. swOre that, 10 the best OF
his knowledge. she had had sexual inter-
course Just previous to being killed. He
did not say that she had been raped.
Much of DR. GOodwin's evidence was un-
fit for publication.
The states case is developing slowly,
and no estimate of its strength can yet be
made. With the exception of the negro s
evidence mentioned above, nothing con-
Meeting the defendants directly with the
murders, has been brought out. The
state so far has been prouing the acquain-
lance of the defendants with the habits
of the Packwood family 1t is believed
that in day or two some sensational
evidence will be introduced.
