TRAIN -WRECKERS' FIENDISH WORK.
Narrow Escape of the Overland Ex-
press,
Two Rails Loosened Near Colfax-
Tramps Who Reported the Affair
Held on Suspicion.

The east-bound overland train that left
this city at 1880 o'clock on Sunday night
had close call, an attempt having been
made to wreck it near ColfaX.
The train was due there at 1:50 o'clock
in the morning, but was stopped at Au-
burn by Sheriff Conroy, who was notified
from Colfax that the track had been tam
pered with about mile west Of the latter
place.
Information of this fact was communi-
Gated by two tramps, who entered the
railroad Office at Colfax about midnight,
and stated that they had surprised three
men at work tearing up rails.
Constable Dwyer and several men left
at once for the spot. They found that
the plates, bolts and spikes of two rails
had been removed and left on the ground,
and there they also found q monkey
wrench and claw bar. These tools were
afterward identified by Section Foreman
Horan as having been stolen from the
tool-house that night.
The men who gave the information
said their names were James Conley and
Charles Thompson, and that they were
on their way to Sacramento. They had
attempted to board train coming this
ways OuL "SlS puL O1l, duO ku6u SldILSd
on toot When they had got within d
few yards of The spot where the rails were
found loosened they saw three men at
work on the track. but they fled as soon
as they we're discovered, taking to the
brush. Conley and Thompson then re-
traced their steps to Colfax and gave the
alarm.
Sheriff Conroy and Deputy Ependener
left Auburn on the overland train at
once for the scene of the attempted
wrecking of the train. There they found
some footprints leading away from the
track, but obtained no other clew. The
track had been repaired and the train
continued on it's way.
Sheriff Conroy placed the two tramps
under arrest on suspicion of knowing
something more about the affair than
they had told. The opinion was ex-
pressed that these men had themselves
stolen the tools and loosened the rails,
thinking that they would be rewarded by
giving the information in time to pre-
vent an accident.
The spot selected for wrecking the train
If that was really the purpose-was
where the track ran on a high embank-
ment just over a canyon, and had wreck
occurred there the result would have
been terrible.

Fine Outlook for Crops-Roads in Bad
Condition.
A correspondent of the RECoRD-UNIoN,
writing from Routier Station, says:
"The late rain has caused the farmers of
this vicinity to look hopefully toward
harvest time. The prospects for a heavy
crop Of fruit were never more encourage
ing. The soil in the orchards is in excel
lent condition, and the work of pulveriz-
ing the top dirt may be easily done. All
trees are assuming a dress of young
leaves, the color of which is refreshing TO
the sight.
Numerous outing parties from Sacra-
mento pass through here on Sundays,
and the only thing to mar the pleasure of
their ride is, they say, the roughness of
the roads.
THE wagon road between Hangtown
Crossing and Perkins is in an advanced
state of decadence, and if no repairs are
made on it soon the people will ind that
it may be traversed on foot with great
deal more pleasure and safety than by
vehicles.

dered against MIN on Decem Der 22, 1898.
On August %, 1894, the Superior Court
made an order denying his motion for a

tice there was another notice of appeal
from the judgment, but it did not con-
tain copy OF the notice of appeal from
the judgment that had been filed on Feb

FEFzGHRALDs APPOINTMENT.

The VOice Of Labor, the organ of the
trade unions, contained in its last issue
an editorial in relation to the appoint
ment by the Governor of E. +. Fitz-
gerald as Commissioner of the Labor
Bureau. 1t states that two months ago a
friend of Fitzgerald called on the editor
with request for Endorsement by him,
either as private citizen or as President
of the Labor Council OF Federated
Trades, and that the request was abso-
luteIy and positively refused.
1t further states that Fitzgerald asked
Editor McGlynn to state whether there
were any objections on the part of trade
unlonlsts to his appointment, and that
the latter replied that there were not.
and that If he was appointed McGlynn
hoped lhe administration would mark a
new era III the work of the Labor
Bureau; that there was no further coun-
tenance or Endorsement of him, and the
paper wishes TO know on what authority
Governor Budd bases his assertion to the
contrary.
In opposition to this statement there is
IN the Governors office a letter written
10 hon. Il. M. Greene, and on which the
Governor says he based his opinion. 1t
reads as follows:
