Ten Thousand Regulars, Militia and Police Massed in Chicago? Engines Derailed, Switches Destroyed and Hundreds of Cars Set on Fire?State Militia Ordered Ont by Governor Altgeld?Strikers Shot?Governor Altgeld Replies to Cleveland's Message and the President Rejoins. The eighth day of the greatest railroad strike in the history ot the United States brought no signal viotory for either side. Riot followed riot in Chicago, and the United States troops, called upon to force a way for trains, were pressed about on all sides by angry crowds that heaped abuse upon them. The soldiers did not Are, but there were cavalry and bay* ? - *k? oner onarsres in attempts 10 uujjjohjo mn crowds. Oars were overturned to block r.vilroad t racks from which obstr act ions had been removed, and when the cavalry dashed forward the human masses separated, only to close again after the passage of the horsemen. A mail train was stopped by strikers and care were destroyed and burned. The rioting continued far into the night after the troops had gone into camp, the police being unable to cope with the frenzied strikers. Grand Master Workman Sovereign of the Knights of Labor arrived in Ohicago. District Assembly No. 82, whloh lnoludea the Knights on the entire Union Paoiflo system from Omaha west voted unanimously to stop work. Governor Altgeld, of Illinois, telegraphed President Cleveland demand cg that all Federal troops be removed from Illinois. The news was received with cheers by the strikers, and it oreated a momentary panic among the railroad manager?. The President's reply, was as follows : "Washington. July 6,18W. "Hon. John P. Altgeld, Gow-rnorof Illinois, Springfield, 111: ' Federal troops were sent to Chloago In strict accordance with the Constitution and laws of the United States, upon the demand of the Postoffloe Department that obstruction of the malls should bo removed, and upon the representations of the judicial odours of the United States that - - T"*- -S - ? 1 n/Mtlil nnf Via process 01 uuioawm uuuiuwuiu uvi w executed through the ordinary means, and upon abundant proof that conspiracies existed against commerce between the States.

Gboveb Cleveland. " Governor Altgeld then sent another message to President Cleveland protesting Against the presence of Federal troops in the State. President Cleveland replied insisting that the Administration was aotlng within the law and Constitution, and suggesting to tbe Governor that in this emergency discussion was not of the first importance. Governor Altgeld's second telegram to the President reaohed the White House near the hour of midnight. It came over the private wire and its contents were carefully read. Then the President dictated the'following replv < I M \v// john T. alto eld. "elkcutivk mansion. ) '"Washington, D. C., July 6,1894. j "Hon. John P. Altgeld, (Governor of Illinois: "While I am still persuaded that I have ^neither transcended my authority or duty in the emergency that confronts us, it seems to me that in this hour of danger and publio distress dfscussloa may well give way to active -effort on the part of all in authority to restore obedience to law and to protect life and proparty. Geoter Cleveland." Bio r lshed, incendiarism, attacks upon Urates and their crews and the destractlon o! millions o! dollars' worth of property, the result of the great strike, spread terror through Chicago and its suburbs, on the ninth day ot the great Pullman boycott. Nor did the strikers direct their firearms solely upon their opponents, but In one oase turned (heir weapons against each other. As a result of the latter A. R. U. Committeeman Letters was instantly killed by a striker flamed Collin, who in turn was shot to death by anotner striker who had witnessed his act. Pitched battles between the strikers, deputies and railroad men began early in the day. Pistols were used on both sides and several men fell, some mortally wounded. Thousands of freight oars set on Are by the rioters were burned with their contents, and the loss for the day was estimated at $3,000,000. The firemen were not permitted to try to extinguish the flames and the police were utterly powerless to check the crowd. The incendiary torch was applied to hundreds of cars and acts of violence were reported from scores of points. The tie-up on all the roads was more complete than on any previous day, and little effort was made by the railioads to resume traffic. The managers said it was folly to attempt to move trains without more troops. The exciting scenes of the day in the vicinity of Kensington, a suburb ot Chicago, h??mn when a north-bound milk train on the Illinois Central was stopped by a crowd of several hundred persons. An effort was made to persuade the engineer and fireman to quit thoii posts. Failing in this the crowd began to shcver stones, clubs, and other missiles at the defenceless trainmen. Every pane of glass in the cab was broken. The tireman was chased by the crowd out over the prairie, but w;is let go upon promising not to go upon another engine while the strike lasts. The engine of the milk train was cut loose by one of the crowd, who started it and then jumped from the cab. The wild engine rapidly increased its spesd and ran into a derailed freight car, completely demolishing the car and everything in its way, and was stopped only by being derailed. Two outbound Illinois Central and Big Four trains were saved from a collision with the wild engine by the freight car. They backed Into the city to keep out of trouble. At 10.30 o'clock the crowd had greatly increased and began tumbling box cars aoross the tracks along the lines between Kensington and Pullman. While about twenty men were engaged in this work four shots were : 0 I flred Into the ganc: by Detective Stars, employed by one of the railroads. The first shot hit William Inslie in the temple. Another bullet struck Dilly Vanzelline in the head, and still another in the back. He was placed under the care of four physicians. who pronounced his condition critical. The report from Stark's revolver was the signal for a eeneral rush by the infuriated strikers, which quickly gathered from all directions. They were wild with excitement. and pursued Stark to the Kensington Station, where fifty Kensington police seized him. formed a line in front of him, and after a running fight of a hundred yards or more, succeeded In getting him in a patrol wagon. He was covered with a coat, and part of the crowd thinking the mat\ in the wagon might be one of the injured men of their party, abandoned the chase. In the melee Frank Endis was shot in the side, but was not seriously injured. The effect of the incident upon the strikers was immediately apparent. A lessening of the crowd at Kensington was noticed, and it man l/\*irr Kafnra a h)n?n in the direCtiOQ of Burnside, a short distance south, accounted for the disappearance of a part of the crowd. At that place 250 cars, some of them loaded, five or six Pullman cars anions? them, stood In the sidings. These were set on fire and all destroyed. Another part of the crowd soon mad? its appearance at Rlverdale, where thirty or forty cars wera standing near the icehouses of the Washington Ice Company. These were ignited in a number of places. The Are spread to the sheds and to the icehouses. The cars and sheds were destroyed, but the icehouses were saved from the wreck, with considerable loss. The Fire Department was powerless, as the cars were set on fire in several places at the same time, were almost inaccessible, and water was hard to get. A crowd of about 500 persons held almost | complete sway in the territory including the j towns of Burnside, Fordham and Grand < GENERAL NELSON A. SOLES, C0MMANDE Crossing, on the outskirts of the city along the Illinois Central tracks. During the day two men were shot by a railroad <leteotive, who was with difficulty protected from the infuriated strikers. Upward of 200 oars, some of them Pullman sleepers, were burned. These depredations continued until late in the night, the force ot deputies and the one company of regulars under command of Captain De Jamar being totally inadequate to afford protection to the immense amount of railroad property to whioh the 1 inoendiarles had free access. % I Two hundred and twenty-Aye freight ears 1 on the Pan Handle tracks between Forty- ' fifth and Forty-ninth streeets, Chicago, i proper?a distance of about one mile?wfere destroyed by Are between the hours of 6 and 1 8 o'clook p. m. l Soon after 5 o'clook immense crowds of men, women and boys were seen coming 1 from the stook yards toward the network of ' tracks at the crossing of Forty-snventh street, j The gatheiing was increased every minute by a seemingly never-ending string of the strikers and their sympathizers, and about 6 o'clook fully 4000 people were massed nlnnif thfl traofes from Forty-fifth street south. They were the stock yards crowd. Intent on destruction, and the few police who remained on duty were powerless. They wero not even noticed by the strikers, who went to work at once. "Down the traoks!" was the cry, and with a rush the strikers started southward. Bunches of waste were stolen from switchmen's shanties, and, soaked with the "dope" j used in oiling the cars, made an excellent torch. i At Forty-seventh street Ave cars standing on the (frond Trunk's line were the first to meet destruction. Same of them were loaded. This did not deter the frenzied i crowd from their work, and the seals wero < broken and the doore slid back. A bunch ot the burning waste was thrown inside, quickly . ignited the contents, and in less than three minutes the five cars were blazing fiercely. < Without waiting to see that their work ' was complete the crowd surged on. They < kept to the Pan Handle tracks, and at Forty- i ninth street came upon six more cars. These were fired In a twinkling, and on Went the 1 crowd. In the Oarfield boulevard yards of the Pan Handle tour traoks were full of freight cars, more than half of which were loaded. At this crossing Is a swltohman's tower, and this was first fired. Al JPIliy**3l^UlU OU^ci JO iu? oianuu ui IUQ combined roads. This was fired and quickly destroyed. i Upon the approach of the Fire and Police i Departments, the orowd turned about and started for the city. On their way to Forty- 1 seventh street they set Are to all care that they had missed in their hurried trip south- ] ward. No water could be obtained near the Garfield boulevard yards, and the cars slowly burned up. It was noticed that the leaders of the orowd were mostly foreigners, and as they retraced their steps a few of the leaders, accompanied by hundreds, started oft In the direction of the stock yards. The 350 cars in the yards were destroyed, and when the crowd reached the stookyards they divided up into small gangs and separated among the big packing houses. An alarm of Are was sent in from Fortyninth and Ashland avenue, but it was several minutes before the firemen reached the scene. The overworked horses were so exhausted that it was with difficulty that they could be forced off a walk. The firemen in this district had responded to nearly sixty calls during twenty-four hours, and as they reaohed the tracks they were received with jeers and curses by a crowd of Bohemians, Poles and Italians. Thn Amman did not succeed in auenchinsr the flames before the care were destroyed, and had harlly reached the engine house again when they were called from the same box. The crowd had set fire to other care. This time the wornoat firemen made but feeble efforts to extinguish the blazs. At 9 o'clock the cars had been reduced to ashes. Governor Altgeld, acting on a request from Mayor Hopkins, who had learned of the above lawless acts, ordered State militia to Chicago and the troops were sent to points where the dangers seem greatest. The scenes in the city wore to the old residents a vivid reminder of war time3. Tha broad expanse of lawn on the historic lak? front, from the Chicago Club far south of the Auditorium Hotel, was dotted with tho white tents of the regulars from Forts Shoridan, Leavenworth and Brady. Sentries patrolled the broad sidewalk to compel the crowds of onlookers to keep at a respectful distance. A few blocks north another big crowd surrounded the armory of the Second Regiment, where six of its companies with two regiments of the Second Brigade wore quartered awaiting a oall to service. Company C ot the Thirteenth Regiment, from Fort Sheridan, was camped in the rotunda of the Government building, the Postofilce, as a result of orders issued by General Miles, who regarded it as wise to give it protection, especially as its roofs shelter the Postofflce and the Sub-Treasury. The regulars numbered 1200 men and tho National Guard 5000 men. In addition the entire police force, Including the reserve', substitutes, and new men, a total of 330J, was available for special emergency call. This made a total ot 10,000 armed men that at less than an hour's notice could be placed in the field against the crowd. Thousands of cars, many loaded with merchandise were destroyed. The roads that suffered were the Pan Handle, Baltimore and Ohio, Illinois Central, Grand Trunk and the Stock Yards Transit Compauy. The I033 for twenty-four hours by the torch amouuted to more than $1,000,000. A heroine in calico shot and killed a striker in the Burlington yard, Chicago. The man was intimidating her husband, who, to keep hi3 family from starving, had taken a striker's place. The railroad officials in California gave up all hope of moving trains and said they would make no further effort in that direction until the strike wa3 ended. There were scenes of violence in Oakland. Several engines were "killed." Elsewhere in California there was little destruction of property. Strikers professed not to fear the militia, who would never Are on them, they s*id. 80 strong did the strikers feel that they declined all compromise, and novr demanded a return to the wages schedule ?f 1893. At Joliet, 111., the engineers >?'t work, as they refused to continue, except wuu iucu own firemen. An improvement w&s reported from St. Louis, where trains were run with some degree of regularity. Governor Waite, of Colorado, wrote to President Cleveland protesting against the Tholeaale arrests made by marshals in that State. Five strikers were arrested at La Junta, Col. One ot them is the local chairman of the A. R. U. Executive Committee.

Shopmen and trainmen on the Atlantic system of the Southern Pacific at El Paao, Texas, were laid off, owing to the strike. Longshoremen in Portland. Oregon, struck In obedience to Master Workman's order to K. of L. men. President Debs, of the American Railway Union, issued a proclamation to the strikers warning them against acts of violence. President Debs also sent out a large number of telegrams to labor organizations and assemblies of the A. B. C.. urging them to 3tand Arm for at least twenty-four hours longer. If by that time the strike situation had not improved for the better, Mr. Debs announced, organized labor all over the country would be called out without any reservation whatever. The Building Trades' Council, of Chicago, representing zd,ui/u m^u m mo uuuutu^ trades, held a loai? ooaferenoe, and adopted n resolution oalling oat all th9 men until the Pullman Company oonsent to arbitration. All the Knights cf Labor in New York and Pennsylvania were called out by Oeneral Master Workman Sovereign. Strikers Shot by 3Iilitla and Regulars. The tenth and eleventh days of the trouble were made sensational by reason of the conflicts between the American Railway Union sympathizers aud the troops. The Illinois militiamen fired upon a riotous mob near the Chicago stook yards and killed two and wounded half a score. A lieutenant of militia was hit on the head with a stone and fatally injured. Next day, in a battle between Federal troops and a mob in Hammond, Ind., four persons were killed and many injured. By far the bloodle9t encounter within the limits of Chicago since the Haymarket riots occurred on the tracks of the Grand Trunk Railway, at Forty-seventh and Union streets. A mob composed of ten thousand men, wo* men and children made an attack on a detachment of Company C, Second Regiment, National Guard, under command of Lieutenant Reed. The squad, which consisted of thirty-six militia men, hac". been sent oat to guard a construction train whose purpose woe to remove the wreckage piled on the tracks by the mob the night before. It was savagely attacked b> the mob. Alter the lieutenant had been laid low by a missile the mob pressed apon the soldiers, unheeding the warning of the troops to keep back. The soldiers opened Are and several persons fell wounded. Undeterred by the rifle shots, the rioters again oharged uoon the soldiers, who iised their bayonets, mortally wounding the leader of the mob. Unable to withstand the onset from overwhelming numbers, the soldiers were forced to retreat, several of them having been hurt. The list of the dead was: John; Z. y. DEBS, PRESIDENT A. R. IT. Burke, striker, killed instantly by ii bayonot-thrust through the abdomen. Unknown man, shot through the breast, found dead behind a barn after the fight. Miss Bach, shot and killed during an attack on a Burlintfon train. Pole, a spectator, unknown, snot ana killel by regulars in the Pan-Handle yards on T wentyilrst street, during an attack on some cars. Not less than twenty of the mob wer<i hit by Sprinsfleld bullets, six or eight were so desperately wounded that it was thought they might die. others received bullet or bayonet wounds of less severity. Just how many of the rioters received injuries nobody could tell; many of the wounded were dragged away by their comrades and hidden. Neither police nor soldiers dared follow them. Careful estimates of the cost of the strike placed the losses sustained from all [ sources up to that time at ?6,565,000. Great distress was reported among the strikers, many of whom were in immediate need of food. The seat of war in the great railroad strike was transferred on the eleventh day to Hammond, lad., just across the horder line, about twenty miles from Chicago, wham from au early hour mob violence reigned supreme. Two companies of regulars were despatched to the scene. Late in the afternoon t:*ere was a pitched battle between the regulars and th? mob. This is the list of casualties : Charles Finisher, carp entpr, married, asjed flfty-flve, a resident of Hammond, Wft3 killed instantly, a bullet entering his abdomen and passing clear through the body. W. H. Campbell, shot in right thigh, fatally. Victor Seitor. also of Hammond, shot In knee; amputation of leg necessary, condition critical. Miss Annie Fleming, of East Chi UUIlOl WUUUU III 111^ III. um uiuuunu man. stranger in Hammond, shot in right leg ; amputation necessary. The trouble began at daylight, when a mob which had been in the neighborhood since the evening before, overturned fifteen freight cars on the Chicago and Calumet Terminal Railroad between Hammond and East Chicago. Six of the number were thrown across the main tracks of the Michigan Central, and two others were thrown, across the rails of the Nickle Plate. To lift the blockade General Miles set out a scouting train, with Company D, Fifteenth United State9 Infantry, thirty-five men, Capt. Hartz in command. The mob had had its way all day and was not inclined to be afraid of the soldiers. About eight thousand men,women and children swarmed on the tracks, stoned the cars and terrified the passenger in the delayed trains. The crowd was jeering and hooting when the troops left the train,but the soldiers at once advanced and the mob was ordered to disperse. In answer to Captain Hartz's command they hurled stones and coupling pins at the soldiers and defied them to fire. Captain Hartz sent hia thirty-five men on a run at the mob and several of the rioters went down before the bayonots, but instead of retreating the crowd pressed forward. Finally an order to fire was given, and a volley of bullets went into the mob, many of the soldiers, however, deliberately firing over the heads of the rioters. The situation became grave, but the troops held eterdy. As the mob came on several shots were fired, though none of the soldiers were ?ruck, and then the order was given to fire. Phis time the volley was more deadly, the casualties resulting as given above. On receiving the second fire the mob retreated and left the soldiers In possession of the Held. . Strike Leaders Arrested. Eugene V. Debs, President; Georee W. Howard. Vice-President; Sylvester Kellher and L. W. Rogers, Directors of the American Railway Union, and fourteeu of their followers, were arrested at Chicago upon warrants issued by a special Federal Grand Jury impanelled before Judge Grosscup. They are indicted for conspiracy to impede the United States mails. The books and papers of the American Railway Union were Beized by the order of the Grand Jury shortly after the bench warrants were issued. Debs, Howard, Kellher and Rogers promptly gave bond^ in the sum of $10,000. The trial is set for October. The others of the party bad already been arrested and were out on bond. They were taken into custody. Judge Grosscup's charge to the jury dwelt upon the seriousness of interfering with the United States mails and with interState commerce. United States troops from Chicago went to Spring Valley, 111., fired into a mob, killed one man, wounded others and went back to Chicajjp. General Master Sovereign, of the Knights of Labor, issued an "appeal"' to all Knijjhts in the country to quit work in sympathy with the Chicago strikers. AMERICAN RAILWAY UNION. It Aims to Bring Into Organization All tlie Railroad Men. The American Railway Union was organized at Chicago, June 20, 1893. Eugene V. Debs was elected President, George W. How urn, Y lC?!-xrrosiUBUl, ?uu o/ntraict nonun, Secretary. A manifesto was issued to the railroad employes of the country, in which it was declared that the members were to come together on an equal footing, from an experienced engineer down to a station porter. "There will be one supreme law for the order, with provisions for all classes ; one roof to shelter all, each separate and rat ail united when unity of action is required. In this is seen the federation of classes, which is feasible, instead of the federation of organizations, which has proved to be utterly impracticable." The number of employes now In the service of the railroads in America has been variously estimated at from 800,000 to 1,030,000, and tlje latter figure is probably more nearly correct. More than 150,000 were organized at. the time of the formation of the American Railway Union. The intention of tho union i3 to brin? within its told the entire million of employes. Having efTeoted this, the leaders say, strikes and boycotts will be rendered impossible. The un'on has a department of education, the main features of which are lectures upon subjects relating to economic*, such as wages, expenses, the relations of employer and the employe, strises?tneir moral am financial aspects, and allied themes. The declaration of principles of the union says on this subject: "There will be a department designed to promote legislation in the interest of laborthat is to say, the enactment ot laws by Legislatures and Congress having in view well-defined obligations ot employers and employes, such as safety appliances for trains, hours of labor, the payment of wages, the rights of employes to be heard in courts where they have claims to be adjudicated, and numerous others in which partisan policies will have no part, the common good being the animating purpose." The organization is composed of a general union, consisting of a Board of Directors ot nine members and local representatives. The directing Board is elected every four years, and has a general supervision of the body. It meets like a legislature at stated I intervals during each year. The union has j committees of three members each on literature, mediation, insurance, employment and finance. Any person of good character employed in the railway service is eligible to membership, except general yardmasters, trainmasters, roadmasters, supsrvisors ot bridges and buildings, general or commeriial agents, superintendents of telegraph, master mechanics, division superintendents ot transnortation. and other offluials of similar or higher rank. The men nt the head of the orgmlzatioa are of undoubted popularity with railroad employes. Its President. Eugene V. Dabs, is a business man of no smill ability, and the editor of the Locomotive Firamen's Magazine. He lives at Terro Haute, Ind. PRIZE BABIES PARADE, Asbury Park's Annual Exhibition of ? Infant Prodigies. Much interest was manifested In ex-Senator Bradley's baby carriage parade at Asbury Park, N. J. About 125 mothers entered their babies to compote for the prizes. A handsome gold bar pin was gwen to the youngest mother wheeling her babe in line. The carriages were decorated with llowora and national colors. Two silver cups were given to the flnostpair of twins, while a prize was also tjivon for the haudsomest doll and the prettiest doll carriage. The procession was headed by ox-Senator Bradley and Chairman Bailey, who each carried a handsome bouquet. A i*rnnd ninnd. nrofuselv decorated with hunting, was creeled on tho board walk nt tlio foot of Asbury avenue. The visiting cdl* tors and their wivo3 roviewod the parade from the upper portion of t ho Asbury avenue pnvilion, which was specially reserved lor thorn. GIRLS HURLED TO DEATH. Struck by a Train While Driving iu a Buggy. Thrco young ladies named Lizzie and Lena Breyfogle, daughters of ex-Senator L. W. Broyfogle, and Miss Carroll, who reside about a mile northeast of Lonexa, Kan., met with a sad death. They were In a buggy driving to Lenexa, and were crossing the Kansas City, Fort Scott and Memphis Railroad, near their home, when their buggy was struck by a fast north bound passenger train, killing them instantly. Kkar hunting Is a profitable "Tffiluslry "la Josephine County, Washington. The hides are shipped to Chicago, where they bring #15 to $40 eaoh. THE PRESIDENT'S ACTION A PROCLAMATION TO THE CHICAGO STRIKERS. This Move Decided Upon After a Long Night Conference of the Executive and His Cabinet?Mobs Ordered to Disperse Immediately?Citizen* Warned. PKESIDEHT QBOVEB CLEVELAND. President Cleveland issued a proclamation at midnight, warning all citizen? against taking part in the existing labor troubles fomented by the American Railway Union and telling them, in effeot, that the strong arm of the Federal Government would be used to preserve the peace at all hazards. It was not a declaration of martial law exactly, but was the next step in that direction. The President had become convinced that the local authorities could not possibly cope with the existing troubles, and that heroic action by the Federal authorities was nKor\1iifa1tf noppocturv The proclamation was communicated to General Miles by Secretary Lamont, who telegraphed as follows "In view of the provisions of the statute and for the purpose of giving ample warning to all innocent and well disposed persons, the President has deemed it best to issue the accompanying proclamation. "This does nor change the scope of your authority and duties, nor your relation to the local authorities. You will please make this known to Mayor Hopkins." The telegraphic message sent to General Miles by Secretary Lamont in connection with the proclamation, showed that there had been no extension of military authority. Before the President's proclamation was given to the public telegrams were sent by General Schofleld ordering troops from Sackett'- Harbor, New York, and other points to start westward Immediately. General Howard, commanding tho Division of the Atlantic,was wired at Governor's Island, New York City, to order other regiments under his command to prepare to move at a moment's notice. When these reinforcements should arrive, it was estimated the Federal troops in Chicago would number lully 4000. The proclamation issued by the President was as follows: "Proclamation by the President of the United States. "Whereas. By reason of unlawful oostructions, combinations and assemblages of persons. it has become Impracticable, in the judgment of the President, to enforce, by the ordinary course of judicial proceedings, toe laws Ot tae uuueu OIHIC3 niimu iui.

"Those who disregard this warning and persist in taking part with a riotous mob in forcibly resisting and obstructing the execution of the laws of the United States or inter/ering with the functions of the Government or destroying or attempting to destroy the property belonging to the United States or under its protection, cannot be regarded otherwise than as puolic enemies.

The President followed up his flret procla* tnation by Issuing another of the same tenor, but more general in its application. The new proclamation is substantially like the one addressed to the Chicajjo rioters, but is ad- ! dressed to the people of nine States and Territories, as follows: North Dakota, Montana, Idaho, Washington, Wyoming.

A dispatch from Sacramento, Cal., says; Four men lost their lives and three others were injured, one fatally, in the attempt to move trains "at the point of the bayonet." United States troops had possession of the railroad, but the strikers made good their threat to prevent its operation. The strikers had waited about the depot and river nearly all night, armed and angry. They said the troops could not land, and that any effort to do so would be the signal for bloodshed. However, the strikers went home, and the troops met no resistance when they landed from the steamer and took possession of the depot and railroad yards. Bnt it was soon evident that the strikers did not intend to allow trains to be run. They said so. and added that if necessary not a rail would be left in place. There were 650 regulars, a company having joined them on the way. The troops were landed, and under command of Colonel Graham, marched direct to the depot and took possession. A picket was quickly established about the place and armed sentries placed on duty. In addition to the regulars there were abt>ut 750 men of the State militia at Sacramento. At noon a train with mail cars and Pull mans was made up and started forSan Francisco, under guard of a portion of Battery L, Fifth Artillery. No attempt was made to prevent its departure, but about two miles from the city, on a trestle, the train was ditched. Four men were killed and three injured in the wreck. The dead were: Samuel Clark, ens?ineer; James Burns, private; John Lubberden. private; David Clark, private. The injured men were: Jame? Dougan. private, fatally hurt; Michael Ellis, private, injured internally; William Wilson, private, injured about the head. The trestle was a complete wreck. Fish plates and spikes had been removed and timbers sawed. The work had been done after 9 a. m., as the trestle had been inspected at that time. Strikers assert that no one connected with the A. R. U. was connected with this dastardly act. Two soldiers were stationed on the engine. One was mangled horribly and the other fell into the river and was drowned. His cartridge belt weighed him down. A cavalry company went to the wreck on a gallop, but there were no strikers about. Two men, heavily armed, were arrested near the trestle, and taken to the guard house. Great indignation prevailed at Sacramento and the strikers lost many sympathizers. FIFTY-THIRD CONGRESS.
