MOTORMEN and CONDUCTORS
AGREE TO STRIKE.
All But Two Lines Are at StandstiIl-

Take Things Happily.

San Francisco, Aug. 27.-With the
exception OF the California and Geary
street lines, street railway traffic in
this city was suspended Sunday as the
result of the strike of the conductors
and motormen OF the United Railways
system.
Although the California and Geary
street lines were in operation their
limited equipment was inadequate.
The employees of these two lines will
not be called out but they expect their
employers to follow the lead of the
larger company in any change that
may be made in the wage schedule
This action of the carmen was taken
in spite OF the efforts of Mayor
Schmitz during the past two days to
avert the strike The strike affects
about 1000 men.
A few men, sufficient to start the
cars if word was received that the
company would grant the demands,
gathered around the car houses, but
there was no disorder. A small sized
riot occurred at Fillmore and Turk
streets, which, however, had no direct
connection with the strike of the car
men.
The California and Geary street ca
BILE roads did their best to help out,
but were fairly swamped with traffic
and unable to make much of an i'm
preston on the crowds that gathered
at their respective terminals and along
the lines. The California street line
operated but seven cars, all the COM
pany had left from the fire, and on &C
count of having no headlights for the
cars, closed down at dark. The Geary
street road is better equipped than the
California street line and is running
tonight.
The crowds that passed up and down
Market street took the inconvenience
and hardships of walking, in some in
stances a distance of two or three
miles. very good naturedly, laughed,
joked or jeered at some fat old fellow
who had been inveigled into the long
walk to the ferry, or of necessity had
to make it, stumbling over the rough
cobblestones, cursing strikers and the
United Railroads alike.
Indications are that the strike on the
United Railroads will be a long and
bitterly fought contest.

night, and which will be posted upon

roads, the directors of the corporation
urge that the striking employees return
to work, promising that they will be
treated literally and justly as if they
had not gone on strike.
The bulletin is in the form of a COM
munication direct to the employees and
signed by President Patrick Calhoun.
The men are notified that when they
have returned to work the company
will be prepared to consider q modifi-

MEXICO CITY, Sept. 4.-With their

The trip to the crater of the volcano
was perilous one. 1t had never been

although several attempts to scale the
precipitious mountain had been made.
The members of the party of noun
tain climbers went about their work
methodically. They established camps
at different points of the ascent and
made a certain amount of progress
each day until the summit was finally
reached.
The volcano was pouring forth great
volumes of smoke but this did not
deter the explorers from advancing to
the edge of the crater. A hot and

below badly scorehed the bodies Of
the men and they beat a hurried re-

Buildings Are Wreoked-csses

FRESNO, Sept. 4.-As the result ot
a terrific explosion the shock of which
was felt for ten miles, one man was
killed and another dangerously wound.
ed, and 100000 worth of property was
destroyed by fire at the big Calwa
winery of the California Wine associa-
tion about three miles from town on
the Malaga road.
The explosion was followed by fire
which completed the havoc.
The explosion demolished a big brick
building and partially wrecked ad-
joining brick structures of the largest
sweet wine making establishments In
the state. The cook house, bunk house
and bonded warehouse alone escaped
damage.
The fire destroyed the sherry tank
building containing over 250,000 gallons
of wine, an adjacent warehouse and
several hundred cords of wood, besides
damaging the fermentation cellar and
setting fire to grass fields south of the
plant.
The explosion took place shortly after
o'clock in the sherry oven where wine
was being subjected to pasteurizing
process and may have resulted from
one of several causes, the one most
likely, spontaneous combustion of gases
from overheating of the wine.
The man killed was Henry Smelling,
As years. of San Francisco, cripple,
who came here as a refugee after the
fire. Heleaves a family in that city.
He was in the employ of the winery
in San Francisco. He was sitting near
the entrance to the building in which
the explosion occurred.
The injured man is Morris Peterson
a cooper, of 122 Isabelle street, Fresno.
