sympsthizsrs with the strikers. He was
not badly hurt.
A rumor current here this afternoon
that General Manager Towne had asked
the governor to send state troops to Oak
land to preserve the peace, cannot be
verified. It is certain there have been
no disturbances there.
PAY CARS DETAINED.
At the Southern Pacific general offices
it is announced that no pay cars will be
sent out to distribute June salaries until
all the trouble shall have been settled.
1t is claimed here that the Brother
hood of Locomotive Engineers endorsed
the strike at meetings held in Oakland
and Sacramento last night, but that the
order will not openly enter the contest.
Tonight the chamber of commerce Of
Oakland is endeavoring to arrange a
conference between the American Rail-
way union leaders and the Southern Pa
cihc management.
THE FRUIT MARKET aLUTTED.
Notwithstanding the railroad blockade
the local fruit market was so badly glut-
ted this morning that there was q
marked tumble in prices. All the
river and bay steamboats, came in with
heavy loads. Fruit growers and vege-
table men who could reach tide-wa alter
hoped to take advantage of supposed
reduced supply in the city and dispose
OF their produce. Much of the freight
that reached the city had been too long
delayed under the hot sun and was very
soft.
RuMoREp CALL FOR TROOPS.
At IL 80 O'Clock this forenoon it war
reported here that General Manager
Towne OF the Southern Pacific had tsle-
graphed to Governor Markham at Sac.
ramento. demanding that detachment
of state militia be ordered to Oakland
to preserve the peace. In their appeal
for interference by state troops, the
managers of the Southern Pacific allege.
it was said, that they were about to
start q passenger train carrying Pull
mans, also that the mayor OF Oakland
was lukewarm in extending police pro-
lection. and that their trains were sur
rounded by q threatening crowd oil
strikers and that they feared trouble.
800 CLERKS DISCHARGED.
Three hundred clerks employed by
the Southern Pacific company in its
offices at Fourth and Townsends streeta
have been laid off because there Is no
work for them to do.
No rumors of efforts toward settle.
ment are heard, and, as neither side
shows any signs of weakening. the pres
ent outlook is that this determined
struggle between labor and capital will
BIO protracted. Business here is at O
standstill.

The Sheriff Refuses to Arrest Inoffensivs

SACRAMENTO, June 30.-The only new
feature in the railroad strike here to-
night is the reply sent by Sheriff O'Neil
to General Manager Towne. in response
to the latter's demand that he clear the
depot of strikers who congregate there
daily to the number OF nearly 5000.
O'Neii says he has found no disposition
on the part of the strikers to commit
any unlawful act. but that they are
quiet and peaceable. He GAYS to Mr..
Iowne, however, that if he will put men
on q train to run it, and any one should
attempt to obstruct the men in operat-
ing the train, he will see that such
person or persons are promptly arrested /;
10 snort, that he will afford protection to
any railroad crews in running trains.
but that he will not jeopardize his bonds
men by making arrests that would be
unwarrantable or unlawful.
The A. r. U. men are very confident.
An attempt was made this morning to
prevent the river steamer Modoc from
sailing for San Francisco, but the ropes
were cast off by the dock hands and the
steamer was greeted with the curses OF
the strikers as she passed down the
river.

A Section of Country Shortly

Southern Railway ON
Nay to Salt
Lake,

There Is a section Of country lying
something like 24O miles from Los An
geles, th",ugh which the proposed
Nevada Southern railroad will traverse,
that will form virtual paradise for the
homo seeker, prospector and capitalist.
The land in question is in Lincoln
county, New, the south line Of the
county joining San Bernavdino county.
For many years the country has been
known as very rich by prospectors and
hunters, but its long distance from a
railroad has precluded any attempt at
settlement during the past dozen years
or more. Many years ago settlement
was made in one OF these rich valleys by
some Mormons, and it is the fruit OF
their industry which now gives prac-
tical illustration of the genuine growth
of the country in horticultural matters.
Trees which were set out there still
show the vigor of the soil and the fruit
that is now to be seen is OF very
superior character. A member OF the
land department OF the Nevada Southern
railroad who just returned from the
valley brought some excellent samples
of apples, almonds, figs and apricots,
and photographs taken OF the treea laden
with fruit. show an appearance tina;
would gladden. the heart OF the most en-
thusiastic fruit grower.
The Nevada Southern railroad in all
probability win be extended into and
through this region within the next
year and the country will then settle
at an astonishing rate. At present it il
within 20 miles OF the valley and those
who would visit the country must o.

Huge Chunks of Ice Containing ALI Sorts
of Things In Costa Rica Storm.
A gentleman connected with the Mu-
SEQ Nacional National museurn) at San
Jose, Costa Rica, in private letter
printed by the Atlanta Constitution,
tells a graphic story Of the wonderful
hailstorm which recently visited the
southwest coast Of that Central Ameri-
can republic. His letter in part is as
follows:
"The cloud camo almost directly from
the west and was blacker than the pro-
verbal Egyptian darkness We are
now well used to tropical storms, with
their accomplishments Of real thunder
and lightning, something grander than
the folks in old Missouri have ever seen
or heard, but in this case it seemed a
thousand squalls, hurricanes and cy-
clones combined in one All of a sud-
den there was a terrible roaring and
splashing in the bay near the camp.
have since thought that tho only thing
that it could be compared with would
be shower Of bricks and cobblestones
falling into the ocean. We had hardly
tilno to take shelter in an immense hol-
low guave when that portion Of the
cloud which was dumping its immense
load of ice into the salty water veered
to the northeast and crossed to the tree
less tract Of mountains lying over to-
ward Hanfeta. 1t was not hailstorm
in the grand, true sense of the word
it was simply an awful precipitation Of
thousands of tons Of ice from the clouds
Some Of these Jumps were not larger
than ones fist, but the majority of them
bricks, and one which buried itself in
the sand near our camp kettle On the
beach was a Jagged, three cornered mass
of ice weighing 23 pounds an hour and
a half after the storm cloud had passed.
AS one of the boys afterward remarked,
1T seemed as if the cloud had been
frozen solid to depth of about 6 or 8
inches and then suddenly knocked tc
pieces and thrown to the earth. But
few of the ice chunks bore the least re-
semblance to ordinary hailstones. All
were of Jagged and irregular form, the
majority of tho pieces containing some
foreign substance, such as q, ball Of
earth, Wads of rotten leaves, sand, fish
and frog spawn, etc The head Of a
dead sunfsh was found in one piece and
half dozen CT dozen of the ice slabs
gathered up and put into our water jar
yielded two live and one dead frog, q
mass Of kelp, or seaweed; three small
pebbles, q SCI shell and some queer
black seeds about tho size Of bucl1shot. !"

Last June, Dick Crawford brought his

fantile diarrhea, to me. 1t had been
weaned at months old, and being sickly
everything ran through it like water
through sieve. l gave it the usual
treatment in such cases, but without
benefit. Ths child keptgrowing thinner,
until it weighed but little more than
when born, or. perhaps, 10 pounds. l
then started the father to giving Cham
