il would run its Pull
man cars or let the trains rot on the
tracks where they stood.
I'VE own three-fourths of those
coaches" he said, land don't propose to
allow the American Railway Union or
any other organization 10 take our busl-
ness or property out OF our hands,"
Mr.. Fillmore said he expected to re-
main here in Sacramento until the pres
ent trouble was settled. He expressed
surprise that Sheriff % Neil had declined
to clear the company's depot. when called
on, and said that in Oakland Sheriff Nc
killican had no trouble in keeping every
body out of the company's depot. When
called upon to perform his duty he re-
sponded promptly. and was not obliged
TO use force.
Asked If he intended to hold any con-
ference with the American Railway
Union men, he replied that he did not,
unless the men should ask to confer with
him.
One OF the American Railway Union
men was asked If the committee manag-
ing the strike would confer with Mr..
Fillmore, and he replied that any such
proposition would have to come from Mr..
Fillmore. The men had nothing to ask
OF the company except that it abandon
the Pullman cars-that was the only con-
dltlon on which they would deal with the
railroad people.
EVENTS OF THE NIGHT.
An immense crowd gathered at the de-
pot last night. Although quiet, the
crowd was laboring under subdued ex-
element. Opinions concerning the
companied Mr.. Fillmore were di-
vided, some thinking they had come up
to take out train, and others that they
were to be used to clear the depot, while
still others thought they were simply
bodyguard.
There were some wise heads among
them who preserved their GOODNESS and
counseled patience. but they were in the
minority, many breathing defiance TO
anyone attempting to take out train.
in spite of the excitement, however,
there was no loud talking nor demon
stratlon, but simply grim determination.
superintendent Fillmore held con-
terence with the engineers and conduct
ors, the result of which was not divulged.
Afterward delegation from the Railway
Union waited upon him and held a con-
terence, which was productive of no re-
suits. One of the committee afterWard
said: 1--WE did not expect the company
would make any concessions at first, and
we have none TO make. We were not
disappointed at the result. When they
wish us to meet them again we will do SO,
but we can wait as long as they can"
Knox announced to the men the result
OF the conference, saying that Mr.. Fill
more would not grant what the commit
tee demanded, and that both sides stood
firm.
His announcement was received with
cheers by the crowd, and they expressed
Their determination not TO give in.
UNION MEN STATE THE CASE.
Messrs. Callahan, Hill and Hafer called
at the RECORD D-UNIoN Office last evening
and stated in behalf of the American
Railway Union, of which they are repre-
sentatives, that the published statement
that merchants, fruit dealers and others
who have goods in ears or depot, are pre-
vented from removing them is wholly
untrue, if in such statement it is intended
to imply that the American Railway
Union prevents any one from taking his
goods.
The committee said in conclusion, that
the implication in the article is untrue,
and is so far from being true that the fact
is, if the aid of the American Railway
Union is needed to protect any persons
taking their goods from cars or depot,
men of the order in plenty will defend
such right Of owners, in all cases where
the railroad officers say the claimants are
entitled to the property.
In short. the committee very emphat-
icaIly denied that any one for the Ameri-
can Railway Union has interfered or is
authorized to interfere with or intimidate
any one in taking any of his property
out of cars or freight houses. The COM
mittee was very indignant that it should
have been published or got abroad that
the American Hallway Union is eX ercis-
ing, or attempting to exercise any such
power as the article referred to implies.
READY no FORWARD MAILS
The Chairman of the American Rail-
way Union OF this city, 6. w. Callahan,
and others of the order, stated last night
that they understood that several Deputy
United States Marshals had been brought
to this city on the statement that the
strikers were refusing to allow the
United States mails to move.
They wanted it distinctly understood
that the American Railway Union was
able and willing to furnish a crew to
move the mails at moments notice.
They could furnish engineers, firemen
and brakemen to move the mails. but
nothing else should countess it would
be car to carry the United States Mar
shals.
They were very emphatic in their decla-
rations that no train should leave this city
with Pullman cars, and that no force
could be brought here sufficient to take
out such train.
RAILS TORN UP.
Late last night word was received that
parties were running box cars from the
east levee toward Brighton junction to
blockade the track.
Sheriff o. ell sent a deputy out to in
vestigate, and after midnight he informed
superintendent Wright that a portion of
the track had been taken up at Brighton
and box cars run upon the main track.
Mr.. Wright was also informed that the
lady telegraph operator at the junction
had been required to abdicate.
Superintendents Fillmore and Wright
were seen at l o'clock this morning, and
they said they could see no course to
pursue other than to call upon the
authorities to have the company's prem
ises cleared of Objectionable persons and
the property protected.
NAIL FROM OAKLAND.
The RECORD UNION received a tele-
phone message from Oakland at mid
night last night, stating that train COM
posed of three mail and express cars and
one baggage car had just started for this
city.
1t will be seen by the dispatches from
Oakland, however, that a train left for
this city in the afternoon, but got only as
far as Gait, and that the Sacramento local
had started, but was coming only as far
as Davisville.
