CARSAGAIN RUNNING
STRIKE In SAN FRANCISCO Is
SIMMERING.
Rioting Is About Stopped and Cars Are
Being Manned by Non-Union Men
Bomb Tale Much Exaggerated
Many Other Strikes on Tap-En-
gineers Out.

San Francisco.-With the exception
of the fact claimed by the United Rail
roads that II of its striking motormen
and conductors were taken back Mon
day on their own application, there is
no change in the street car strike
The day passed without any general
rioting. South of Market street there
were numerous instances of individual
rioting, and the police made a number
of arrests.
The cars were fairly well patronized.
Seventy-five additional strikebreakers
are scheduled to arrive some time to-
night
In the districts south of Market
street some cars were stoned, but the
hospitals have no cases of injuries re-
sulting.
Police investigation of the alleged
attempt to blow up a Suffer street
car yesterday afternoon, established
the following facts:
Shortly after o'clock a newsboy
boarded a Suffer street car at the foot
of Market street and handed a satchel
to the conductor.
The latter carried it forward and set
it down on the platform beside the
motorman. When examined at police
headquarters the satchel was found to
contain a bomb loaded with black pow
der and filed with miners fuse. This
fuse had been run through a candle
stump, but the candle had not been
lighted. The belief of the police is
that whoever loaded the catchel hoped
to discourage people from riding or
the cars and counted on the newspa
per notoriety that would result from
a discovery of the internal machine
The strike of the stationary engi
neers, linemen and electricians EN-
ployed by the United Railroads caused
no break in the partial service now be
ing maintained. The company filleS
the places of the strikers at once. 81
far there has been nothing done by thu
union to interfere with the supplying
of power by the San Francisco Gas {
Electric company to the United Rail
roads. A force Of secret service mel

panys wires to prevent their beinl
cut. President McNulty OF the Inter

that have arisen between locals Nos

SENSATION AT BOISE.
Reporters Interviewed Orchard-Court
Scores Them.

Scores Them.
Judge Fremont Wood, who is presid-
ing at the Steunenberg murder trial at
Boise directed the prosecuting attor-
ney of Ada county to make an investi-
cation of the circumstances under
which Harry Orchard was interviewed
for publication and to take any legal
steps that his inquiry showed to be
warranted Judge Wood drew atten-
ton to the publication of the interview
when he assembled the bench this
morning and his request of counsel for
advice as to the manner in which the
court should deal with the incident,
brought from the defense the charge
that Governor Gooding and certain
newspapers, moved by the disclosure
that there exists prejudice against
Orchard, had sought to influence the
jury by an attempt to bolster up the
credence that may be given to Or
chard's story, and the suggestion that
Governor Gooding be cited for con
tempt.

PLOT TO FREE 1000 PRISONERS
Nitro clyceyine Was to Play Important
Part in Chicago Jail.


Chicago.-A plot to blow up the
county Jail and release about a thou
sand prisoners was frustrated when
the guards found in the cell of Charles
Hansen, sentenced to life imprison-
ment in Joliet penitentiary for the MUIR
der of Policeman Luke Fitzpatrick, a
sealed can of nitro-glycerine. Hansen
confessed to the intended use of the
explosive, according to Jail officials.
Notes passed between Hansen and
other prisoners in the west wing re-
vealed the plot. A hole was found in
the west wall, which is in the old part
of the building. The new part Of the
building, being of steel construc-
ton. was not considered by the con
syllators as being admissible OF
breach. Guards found that the prison
ers to be released had bed Stats, chairs
and other weapons carefully disposed
for immediate use should an effort be
made to stop their rush through the
aperture Hansen was to make.
Hansen was taken in irons to Jolle
to begin his sentence.

THAW's MANY GOOD DEEDS.
Father Of Young Harry Was Man of
Generous Nature.

Any Pittsburger will tell you that
Mr.. Thaw, ST.. was one of the most
ideally philanthropic men that city
ever knew. His charities were not
heralded in the papers, but went where
they did the most good. Mr.. Thaw
helped class which never made their
wants known, the shabby genteel, the
ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS element To
save the feelings of these Mr.. Thaw
had an original plan. In his home, the
old Thaw mansion, in Pittsburg, there
was a side door leading into Mr..
Thaw's study. Every morning from
nine to ten Mr.. Thaw personally
opened this door. through which came
persons DESTROYS of his aid. The pur-
pose of this was that the servants in
the household would not know who
applied to him for help. This same
rule was in force in his private Office.
No one knew who came there except
the persons themselves. On one occa-
sion William, an old darby who drove
an ash cart, lost his mule by death.
His heart was sore, for the mule was
his only means of earning his living.
He tearfully told the story to a lady
who was a member of the church Mr.
Thaw attended. GO tell Mr.. Thaw
about it," said this lady.
The darby was afraid he would not
believe him, so the lady gave him a
line vouching for his truthfulness.
The next morning William went to
the Thaw house and was admitted
through the private door. The great
financier received him kindly, and VIII
liam tremblingly told his story.
well. what do you want me to do?"
asked Mr. Thaw.
William told him he would like $50
to buy new mule.
well, I won't give you $780," said
Mr.. Thaw. and William lost heart
Mr.. Thaw, however, continued: III
not give you $50 for a mule. because
you can't get one that is worth any
thing for that amount, but I'll give you
800, II that is any use to you"
William was almost overcome, his
JOY was so great, and among the
thousands of mourners at the funeral
OF the great hearted man none was
more sincere than William.-M. A. p,
IN America.
