RAISING THE BLOCKADE.
The Railroads Will All Soon
be in Running Order.
Colonel Graham is Master of the
Situation Here.
How the Soldier Boys Deal With Men Wlio
Ignore Orders —A Number of
Arrests Made.
Those who a few days ago scoffed at the
Idea of the Federal troops restoring law
and order here have had cause to change
their tune.
No trains were sent out of this city
yesterday. The fiendish outrage com
mitted on Wednesday has had the effect
of causing Colonel Graham, who is now
directing all the railroad operations here,
to act cautiously. He is perfecting his
plans for a thorough opening of the vari
ous roads, and woe be to the man or men
wiip oilers the slightest interference with
or opposition to the movement and run
ning of trains.
Even Division Superintendent Wright
can act only under Colonel Graham's
orders so far as the operation of trains
are concerned.
"When I ask for crews to run trains,"
aaid the latter, "I want you to provide
the men, and it will not be healthy for
any man who may seek a pretext to
desert his post."
A few exciting incidents occurred dur
ing the day. Quite early in the morning
a big bully undertook to pass the guard
line beyond I street. He was stopped by
a sentry, who told him he could not pass.
With an oath, the buily declared that no
such blue-coated shrimp could stop him,
and proceeded, as he supposed he could,
to walk over the little soldier.
Instead of running the fellow through
with his bayonet, as his orders required
him to do, in such an emergency, the
soldier stepped back, clubbed his musket
and brought it down with knock-out
effect on the bully's head, laying him flat
on the ground and "killing" tho musket.
Just as the fellow got upon his feet to
renew the attack the sentry's superior
officer ran up and told the would-be
blockade-runner that if he advanced an
other step he would shoot him. Seeing
that the ollicer meant business, the fellow
backed away.
The officer turned to the sentry and
said: "Young man, bullets are cheaper
than muskets; break no more guns, but
shoot the first man who refuses to obey
orders!"
AXOTHEU FOOLISH MAN.
A little later the guards arrested a
young man who could find nothing bet
ter to do thau insult the sentries on duty
and endeavor to obstruct them in their
duties. He was taken to the guardhouse
and hand-culled, after which he was per
mitted to sit all day on the soft side of a
sheetiron box, a sentry in front of him
with a loaded musket canning a wicked
looking bayonet.
The man proved to be an employe of
the Sacramento Transportation Com
pany, but that made not a particle of dif
ference to Colonel Graham, tie had de
termined that all persons caught ob
structing or resisting the troops iv the
discharge of their duties should either be
shot or arrested, according to the nature
of the offense.
At last accounts last night the man was
still in the guardhouse awaiting Colonel
Graham's determination as to whether or
not he would be sent with other prisoners
before the Federal courts in ban Fran
cisco.
TWO BOJUES RECOVISKED.
Early in the forenoon the wrecking
crew was sent out to the scone of the
"wreck to recover the cars thrown from
the track. Lieutenant SKerritt and a de-
tachment of twenty-one men from I lat
tery L, Fifth United states Artillery,
went along to protect the crew and deal
with strikers or others who might at
tempt to interfere with the work.
While the railroad men wore perform
ing their work some of the soldiers as
sisted, while others looked alter the
crowd that gathered in the vicinity of the
wreck. These soldiers were comrades of
the brave men who had been so foully
murdered on the preceding day, and it
would not have been safe for anyone to
give them the slightest provocation to use
their guns.
They found among those who gathered
in the vicinity two suspicious looking
men, whom they placed under arrest.
One had been employed iv the round
house at the railroad shops. He was
searched and found to be armed with a
pistol. The other had a pocket half-tilled
with cartridges, but had thrown his
•weapou away. The meu were both
brought to the city on the return trip and
turned over to the "tender mercies" of
-the grim sentinels who were guarding
two other prisoners in the baggage-room
at the depot, which was being utilized as
a guard-house.
The bodies of Privates Clark and Lub
berdeu were recovered from the water
where they had gone down with the ill
fated train, and their bodies brought in.
They will be sent by boat to San Fran
cisco to-day.
Among the many incidents that oc
curred while the wrecking crew was ;it
work was one that showed the patriotic
and determined spirit of the soldiers.
One of the crowd of outsiders present
was overheard to remark that the Gov
ernment would soon be in about the same
fix as the wrecked cars.
This brought Lieutenant Skerritt to his
side in an instant. The oflicer told him
he would not be allowed to talk in that
way, and leading him off some distance
told him to clear out and not return. The
fellow went.
TO CLEAR THE ROAD.
The order of the Government, issued to
the military authorities a few days ago,
was to open the overland railroads from
Ban Francisco to Omaha, and Colonel
Graham proposes to see that this is done
us far East as Ogdeu, the Union Pacific
road being looked alter by Federal troops
beyond that point.
As evidence that operations are about
to begin, the First and Third infantry
KegimenM of the Second Brigade, Na
tional Guard, commanded by General
Dickinson, were called in yesterday after
noon by Colonel Graham from their camp
in Capitol Park and stationed in the de
pot and railroad yards. This is supposed
to be for the purpose of relieving a pot
ion of the regular troops, who will be
sent along to clear the road from heie to
Reno, from which point eastward regu
lar troops are being placed, several com
panies having started west from Ogden
by passenger train a couple of days ago.
The three Sacramento companies (in
cluding Battery Bi aud the two Stockton
companies will remain in camp in Capi
tol Park lor special duty. Among the
regulars to remain here will be the cav
alry.
UNCLE SAM'S BOYS.
As Tine a Lot of Men as Ever Shoul
dered Muskets.
Old soldiers who have seen the "ilower
of the army" in this country, as well as
in foreign nations, unite in pronouncing
the regulars and marines now on duty in
this city, under Colonel Graham, as he
ing as fine a body of men as ever wore
the uniforms of soldiers. The men in
the ranks are mostly young, although .
there are some who have seeu upward of :
twenty—some more than thirty—years' i
continuous service. They are clean-look
ing, stalwart, hardy men who have seen
hard service in ail parts of the L'nion.
Some of them have passed through j
many Indian campaigns, braving the i
i summer sun on the burning deserts| of '
| Arizona and tne winter storms in the j
Rocky Mountains. They are true >ol
diers, who know their duty —and that is j
to obey tho orders of their superiors and \
repose their confidence in the Govern- j
meoti
The officers are experienced, intelligent ;
men, who are thoroughly skilled in the |
duties and discipline of military life, and,
! as should always be the case, have the
esteem and respect of their men.
A RfiooßD-UmoS reporter yesterday
talked with a number of the men and
asked them how they were treated by
their superiors. The reply in every
instance was that the Officers are gentle
men, and while arm disciplinarians are
kind and considerate toward the men.
'"Tilings are not as thoy used to be in
the army." said one veteran of the ranks,
"You will find that there is a better class
of men in the service to-day than ever I
before, and the same is true of the I
ollicers. Our men have every conti- I
deuce in their superiors, and 1 am sure '
the officers know they can depend on the .
men."
TROUBLE ON FRONT STREET.
Two Mon Shot ar, but Arrested With
out Bloodshed.
There was considerable excitement on
the river front about half-past 4 o'clock
yesterday afternoon. Company Dof the
Third Regiment, Second lirigade, Na
tional Guard, was detailed to clear the
yard and tracks about the freight sheds :
from I street to M. A portion of the men
took up their position on Front street
and cleared that thoroughfare to the east
side.
There a large crowd of strikers assem
bled, mostly about the corner of Front
and I, while a mob of several hundred
curiosity-seekers gathered at various
points further down the street. Some o;
the strikers and others inani tested a dis
position not to obey the orders of the
suldiers to keep off the street, and iiually
it became necessary to order a bayonet
charge.
Then the fun commenced. J street,
from Front to Second, was packed with
people, and when the National Guards
meu set their guns and m&de a rush the
way the mob poured back into Second
street was a caution. Those who had got
the notion that the militiamen could not
be depended on to charge tho >trikors
were very forcibly disabused of that mis
take.
The truth is, the National Guardsmen
have beeu wrought up to the li^htin^
poiut by the fiendish outrage committed
by the strikers on Wednesday, in wreck
ing the train west ol this city. The men
have lost whatever sympathy they may
have felt lor the strikers a week ago or
repugnance to firing on them. The pres
ence^ot the regulars has also had the ef
fect of arousing their pride to the extent
that it' now brought to lace real danger it
is not believed there is a man iv the ranks
who would flinch from doing his duty.
This spirit was shown when tho order
was received to clear the tracks between
the freight sheds and tho river. The sol
diers, in going through there, came upon
a couple of Frenchuiep who were appar
ently bent on iishing':- They were ordered
to leave there, but refused, and when the
soldiers started for them they ran in an
other direction. £
Out came a half-doZen pistols, in a ilash,
and fourteen shots iv all were lired at
them. The two men attempted to break
through the lines, but finding that the
soldiers meant business, and that their
lives were in danger, they .surrendered.
They were inarched to the guardhouse at
the depot.
Kaiiroad ollicor Ben True identified
one of the men as a passenger Irom the
! East who had beeu detained here, and it
was thought last night that he would be
set at liberty. The other was a friend of
his, but what disposition Colonel Gra
ham intended to make of him could not
be learned.
The shooting caused considerable ex
citement, and ali sorts of rumors were
set afloat. One was that the shots were
tired from the Yolo side of the river, and
| that four soldiers had been killed.
One man went up town, aud declared
that he saw two dead or wounded men
borne away on stretchers, but the truth is
not a drop of blood was shed.
Just alter the shooting a big fellow un
dertook to pass the guards at Front aud
J streets, but had to quit. It required a
good sharp prod of a bayonet In the roar,
however, to make him move fast enough
to suit the seutries.
REWARDS OFFERED.
It Will Pay to Turn Up the Several
.Murderers.
The rewards now offered for the arrest
and conviction of the creatures who
wrecked the train and murdered five
men now amount to §7,000. OI this sum

It should not bo a very difficult matter
to get some of them at least, and the
handsome rewards should command the
best detective ability in the State.
WORDEX AND HIS GANG.
Some Additional Facts Concerning the
Wreckers' Plot.
In its report yesterday of the arrest of
S. D. Wordeu on a charge of murder, in
connection with the wrecking ot the
train sent out from here on the preceding
day and the killing of five men, the
Record-Union gave barely an outline of
the evidence in the possession of the
officers. This was iv obedieuce to the re
quest of Marshal Baldwin, who was
working up the case aud did not want to
have the cause of justice miscarry by the
premature publication of matters con
nected with the great crime. Much of
this evidence cannot now be given, but
the public may rest assured that ihu Fed
eral authorities know wnat they are
about, aud that wheu the facts ali come
out some of the meu who have by voice
and financial aid helped alone this mur
derous conspiracy will be appalled at
their own subserviency to the dictates of
designing criminals who have been mas
querading under the guise of champions
of oppressed labor.
The boy who drove Worden and his
] co-conspirators to where their hellish
work was to be done was Johu Sherburu,
a boy 14 years old, who was engaged by
Arthur J. Wilson, one of the proprietors
1 of the stable, to drive Worden to Bright
on, that being his alleged destination.
Herein was the laial mistake of the
conspirators, for they might have known
that sooner or later their infamy would
i come to light, from the fact that even a
! boy was on hand to watch them.
Instead of going to Brighton, however,
i I the boy was told by \\ orden and his
three comrades to drive to a certain place,
where they alighted and shortly after
ward returned and entered the carriage
They then drove over into Yolo County
ana to some cars on a sidetrack, a short
distance from the bridge, where tte boy
i was made to leave the carriage and enter
a caboose.
From a window the boy watched the
movements of the men and saw them
place in the vehicle a crowbar, a wrench,
a rille and some cartridges. There three
more men joined the party, and the boy
was called ou to drive. Wheu they had
gone about two miles the men stopped,
alighted aud took tue articles from the car
riage. They walked oil up the railroad
! track toward the trestle, and were soon
i lost to sight in the willows that line the
raiiroai.
After a while they returned to the car
riage aud toid young Sheruurn to drive
otf"alonjj the "road toward Woodland.
When they had gone about eight miles
all of the men left the carriage, except
Wordeu, who directed the boy to drive
back to the cily. •
i When they camo in sight of the wreck
'the boy called Wordeu's attention to it,
| but the laiter said nothing. A shore dis
lurther on they overtook a small
! group of men whom \Vorden knew, and
I they were taken into the carriage. On

the way these men spoke of tho wreck ,
and the death of Sam Clark, which elicit- 1
ed the remark from Worden that he was I
glad of it, and that he "used to tire with !
the ."
Worden aud his companions left the \
buggy in Washington, and directed the i
boy to take it back to the stable.
Along in the afternoon, it is said, Wor
den went to a private citizen's tele- i
phone and asked somebody "why in
hell he didn't go and settle for that rig."
Then, it occurring to him that he had for
gotten to remove some dynamite from i
the carriage, he went to the stables him- j
self, where he was arrested.
WORDS OF SYMPATHY.
Engineer Samuel Clark Was Ilieulv
The following telegram was sent yes

' M. >'. d M., Sacramento: The sad
bereavement that has come to you, to
your aged mother aud to your family,
through ttie heinous crime committed
yesterday by cowardly and inhuman as
sassins, in wrecking our west bouud
overland passenger train just out of Sacra- j
uiento, has not only robbed you of a

bravest, truest aud most honorable of
men, but it has also taken from lisa, most

GOVERNOR MAHKIIAM.
Xot Had Time Yet to sizo Up the Situ
ation.
Governor Mark ham was asked by a
Rboobd-Ukion reportor yesterday what
his opinion was of the strike situation,
the use of Federal troops and the Presi
dent's proclamation.
lie stated that he would preter not to
say anything upon the subject just at
present until he had an opportunity to
look over the ground and see what the
situation actually is.
"I have only jn.st arrived here," said
he, "and am endeavoring to gain informa
tion on tho subject. 1 have had several
similar requests irom newspapers in New
\ ork and elsewhere, and have been com
pelled to make the same answer to them."
SOUND TALK.
Au Old Citizens' Straight Out Views
on Americanism.
One of the best known citizens of the
State, long time resident in Sacramento,
a pioneer and ouo of the beat informed of
men and a sterliug patriot, writing from
Uakiaud to a friend in this city j-esterday
said in the midst of other things:
"I saw a riot yesterday. It made my
blood boil to see a mob of infuriated men
and women, mostly foreigners, drag a
brakemau, an American, from a train
where he was performing his duty and
earning an honest living.
"I was astonished to lind men of busi
ness, ordinarily right thinking men, say
ing that tho mob did right, as this is a
free country, and a man had a right to
prevent another man from working !
"I am more and more an American,
and the discussion we had in on
'iiard limes' inteusilied my belief.
"This strife is the result of talking and
writing about 'Capital and Labor,' as if
they were and are antagonistic.
"We ought to teach in the public
schools the question of right and rights of
American citizens."

Meeting of Soldier Friends Alter a
i apse ot Forty Years.
Yesterday General George B. Cosby
was informed that Lieutenaut-Colo«iel
Guenther, one of the officers in command
of the regulars, desired to see him, alid
the General called at the headquarters to
see his friend and companion of long ago.
As he passed through the groups of sol
diers at the depot several of them turned
to look at him a second time.
'■ I don't know that man," said one
bronzed warrior to a comrade, " but I'll
stake my month's pay that he has been a
soldier."
" Yes," replied the other, "aud an olli
cer."
Nearly forty years had elapsed since
Geueral Cosby and Colonel Gueuther hud
met. The former graduated at West
Point before the latter entered as a ca
det, and was one of the instructors there
while Gueuther was obtaining his mili
tary education. Afterward Cosby served
iv the army in Texas and New Mexico,
and when the civil war broke out he and
his pupil followed different lines and
drifted far apart.
They had never met from the time they
separated at West Point, in the fifties.
For each life had been '"sweet and bitter,
strangely mixed —they both had changed
since then." When last they met they
were both in the prime of their youth,
but now each has across the summit of
his life's journey, though both are still
vigorous and good for many years' serv
ice in the field.
It can easily bo imagined that the vet
erans passed a pleasant hour rehearsing
the events of their youthful days and S'>me
of tiie stirring scenes that havo since
gone to make up the military history of
the -Nation.
General Xotes.
The regular army's signal corps has
established a signal station on the dome
of the State Capitol, from which place it
commands a fine view of the surround
ing country with the aid of powerful
field-glasses. Yesterday the men were
engaged in sigualiug back and forth be
tween there and the camp at the depot by
means of tiags. The exercise was wit
nessed with much interest by a large
crowd of spectators.
The result of the National Guard Court
martial has not been made public, and
probably will not be for several days.
Yesterday Burt and Bodmer, two of the
men arrested on Wednesday for obstruct
ing the United States troops, were ad
mitted to bail, their bondsmen being
Hugo Hornlein aud U. F. Dillniau.
A carload of regulars were out yester
day to guard the American River bridce
and other portions of the railroad. They
have orders to shoot the first man that at
tempts to '"monkey" with railroad prop
erty.
There was a rumor yesterday to the
effect that the bridge over the Cosumnes
River and trestles near Arno had been
burned by the strikers. A telephone
message from Arno, however, stated that
there were section-hands thero patroliug
the road, and that no fires had occurred
in that locality.

An Informal Wedding.
"Soon alter I entered the ministry,"
said a clergyman, "I was asked to ofii
ciate at a wedding. A farmer, who lived
not many miles from where I was lo
cated, called on me one morning and in
vited me to spend that evening at his
house and, incidentally, to marry bia
daughter. He told me to call early, as it
had not been decided just what time the
wedding would come oil', and it had beou
arranged to give the guests a 'grand, good
time.' He impressed upon me that the
whole affair was to be very informal. I
accordingly presented myself at the house
early in the evening and found a large
company already assembled. Some were
playing games in one room, while others
chatted sociably in another. As the
evening wore on, some of the guests
asked for music, and the bride-elect per
formed on the melodeon, while the future
partner of her joys and sorrows exerted
his energies upon the violin.
"At last, when 10 o'clock came and no
aigus were manifested regarding the wed
ding, and 1 was on the point of asking
my host if he had concluded to postpone
the ceremony, the bride-elect herself
stepped up to my side and whispered in
my ear, 'I guess this is as good a time as
any. ain't it?' When I assured her that
no better hour could possibly havo been
chosen, she beckoned her lover to where
she was standing, and after a few hurried
words they both approached me hand in
hand. By this time a hush had fallen
upon the guests, as the whispered con
versation between the bride and myseh
had warned them that the expected event
was about to happen. Just then a
thought seemed to strike the bride's
mother, and she requested us ail to ad
journ to the dining-room and have the
wedding there. I accordingly took up
my stand at the end of the long table,
with the contracting parties on either
side with hands joined across the table,
and in that position performed the cere
mony that made them man and wife. As
soon as I had finished the groom walked
around to where the bride was standing,
and taking her in his smb. gave her a
hearty smack, after whicn lie returned to
his seat and made a vigorous attack upon
the supper."— St. Louis Globe Democrat.
An English paper the other day had an
appreciative reference to "Farragut, the

ARTe
OF"
Harper's
Weekly
(During the War)
is
worth
$100.
Over i.ooo of the stirring
Harper Weekly war pictures, by
Thos. Nast and other famous Harper
War artists, taken right on the field,
were used to illustrate
HARPER'S "
Pictorial History
, OF THE—
Civil War,
This great book has sold for years
at $16 to $30 in two big volumes.
The pages are 16^x11^ inches.
There are 832 pages. Lots of maps
and sketches, and one big colored
map 23x33 inches.
People wanted them, but couldn't
afford $16 and kept asking for the
oid "Harper's Weekly during the
War." After the pictures had been
put into this big, new, complete his
tory, the old Weekly plates were de
stroyed and now those files are scarce.
But the big history was so inter
esting, and, being compiled from all
the official records, was so com
plete and valuable that thousands
bought it.
Now it is all cut up and everybody
is getting it and being surprised.
It is made into 26 big parts, 33
big pages in each, and printed ore
nice supercalendered paper—better*
than ever before —and has a hand
some buff cover with emblematic de
sign on each part.
The parts have sold as high as $1
each, but can be got for only 8 cents
each if you know how. The
pictures alone are worth more than
that, but the story and copies of
many official documents and state
papers of priceless historic value, all
go m with the pictures.
How!!!?
Well, you want to first get part
No. 1 and see the table of contents
and see that there is ten times as
much value as you thought, or even
saw belbre for the money.
J~^* Given to all subscribe
ers of the Record-Union
and Weekly Union for 8
cents per number. Only
$2 08 for the complete
work.
