Ilnrt Their Cause Suspects Arretted.
Sacramento, July 13. Shortly aftor
0 o'clock Wednesday morning tho steam
cr Alameda, carrying tho regular troojo,
steamed up tho river and landed at tho
' loveo. Tlioy were met by 60veral com
panies of militia, who had been ordered
to keep tho cratwd back, fearing an at
tack by tho ntrlkors nnd their sympa
thizers. Shortly after 7 o'clock tho reg
ular and marines marched to tho depot,
headed by Colonel Graham and stair.
Tho usual rush of spectators took place,
but they wero quietly dispersed. The
strikers had nbanduncd the situation and
were nowhere to bo seen. Sentries wero
nt onco detailed to keep tho crowd at a
safo dlstanco and tho Gntling guns wero
placed in position.
Shortly after I) o'clock Ooneral Hnpor
intendent Fillmoro had nconferenco with
Colonel Graham, and when it was con
cluded tho latto r ordered his officers to
drive everyono out of tho depot, includ
ing newspaper reporters.
Division Superintendent Wright, with
tho aid of a switch engine, then cleared
tho main track and orders wero Issued to
take tho overland train, which has been
delayed hero since tho inauguration of
tho strike, to San Francisco.
Soldiers Accompanied tho Tniln.
Samuel Clark, one of tho oldest engi
neers in tho employ of tho company, took
charge of tho engine, acting under in
structions from Colonel Graham.
Soldiers belonging to battery L, Fifth
United States artillery, accompanied tho
train.
As tho train pulled out of tho depot
thero was a silenco among tho strikers
who wero evidently not in a happy mood
nnd frequently hinted that tho train
would not reach San Francisco. Such
proved tho truth. Shortly after tho
train loft tho dopot word was received
hero that it had been fired upon by tho
itrikcrs and ditchod. It was roported
that Engiuecr Clark was killed by a
bullet and several regulars perished In
tho wreck. Later advices, however,
show that not a shot was fired. Somo
ouo had uuspiked tho rails for a distance
of about 100 feet and covered tho das
tardly work with sand. Engineer Clark,
notwithstanding that ho was on tho alert
for such cowardly tactics, plungod into
tho trap.
Tho englno was overturned aud sev
eral cars wero upsot. Engineer Clark
was killed and Privates Byrne, Lubberd
ing and Clark mot a similar fato.
Private Daumlor, who was also in tho
engine when it upset, was seriously in
jured about tho head. Private Ellis was
hurt internally and is likely to dio.
Hud no Time to Jump.
Tho train consisted of nino cars, fivo of
thorn Pullmans. On tho engino word
Prlvnten Lubberding, Byrnes, Clark,
Duguti, Ellis aud Wilson. Tho engino
plunged through tho trestlo and none of
tho men had time to jump and save
themselves. Thoso of tho men who
wero not instantly killed wero weighted
down with their heavy accountorments
and sank into tho muddy water. Engi
neer Clark was pinned under tho engine
and his body has not been recovered.
The trestlo was about U0 foot long and
was completely shattered, Fully ono
half of tho filling was torn out. Tho on
gino was buried in the mud and water
with tho four forward cars. Another
car is hanging over the edge of tho em
bankment. They were all mail cars and
tiono of tho Pullmans wero injured.
Shortly after tho roport that tho train
bud been derailed, Division Superinten
dent Wright ordered tho wrecking crow
to tho scene. General Graham also sent
a company of cavalry to head off tho
strikers.
Shortly afterward two mon wore
brought to this city and immediately
taken to the railroad hospital, whero
their injuries wero dressed by Dr. Hunt
ington. Regulars In nn Ugly Mood.
Tho regulars aro in an ugly mood on
account of tho death and injury to their
comrades. Many of them claim that
General Superintendent Fillmoro as
sured Genoral Graham that tho road
had been carofully gouo over aud fur
ther declared that ho know that tho strik
ers would not resort to nny desperato
measures to win tho strike. It was
not until ho assured General Graham of
the supposed good condition of tho road
that tho latter consented to send his men
to assist tho train to San Francisco.
Harry Knox, the loader of tho strikers,
has issued tho following: "I desire to
ttato in behalf of tho A. R. U. that this
order had not tho remotest connection
with tho ditching of the train lietweeu
Sacramento and Davisvlllc, in which sov
cral peoplo lost their lives. We con
demn this act us an outrage and barbarous
nnd entirely contrary to tho spirit of the
A. R. U., which is engaged in an hou
orablo stiuggle in tho interest of labor
and is opposed to violence or the sacrifice
of human life. This act was dono by
sympathizers and wo regrot It tho more,
as it is calculated to injure rather than
help us. Wo sincerely trust that this
Hint act of violence will bo tho last."
Ordeis wero given in tho evening to
extend tho guard lines to E streot, fully a
block from the dopot. This is to pro
Tent tho strikers from getting near tho
company's property,
General wttilSB hu detailed troop I,
Fourth cavalry, to patrol tho railroad In
thu vicinity of tho wreck and to arrest
all suspicions characters. Tho men in
tho troop are bitter against tho strikers
since tho derailing of the train, and
their comrades at tho dejiot predict that
they will deal severely wlfh any of tho
strikers they may encounter. Tho regu
lars can lw heard discussing thn affair
on nil sides, and it Is evident froln thuir
conversation that they aro eager for an
engagement with tho enemy. They say
they camo hero to do fair fighting and
not bo killed liko rats tn a trap, and
they do not proposo to submit to that
kind of treatment.
, Two Men Arretted.
An examination of tho brldgo revealed
the fact that ono of tho stringers had
been cut off nnd n small ploco of wood
substituted in such n way that it would
fall through as soon as a heavy weight
passed over tho rail. Two men havo
been arrested on suspicion of having
been concerned in tho wreck. They aro
now In tho guardhouse Thoy were ar
rested near tho sceno of tho wreck by a
deputy marshal. Engineer McCoy, who
was on tho train, saw tho men just be
fore tho train left tho track and pointed
them out to tho officers. They wero
heavily armed when arrested. Tho
picket line now surrounds tho doiot hero
nt n djstanco of about a block in all di
rections. Thoro havo been rumors of
dynamito buried in tho depot and it is to
avoid all danger of explosion that tho
depot Is guarded.
rmctlcnlljr Under Martini Ijw.
The city is practically undor martial
law. Marshal Baldwin Wednesday
afternoon issued a proclamation notify
ing nil persons that tho troops wero in
tho city and that tho orders of tho com
manding general would bo enforced,
lie nlso cautioned them against all un
lawful assemblages. Sheriff O'Neill has
arrested S. D. Worden on suspicion of
being implicated in tho derailment of
tho train. Worden has boon quito prom
inent in lalor circles and was recently
sent as n delegate to tho Chicago con
vention of railwoy men. Tho sheriff
also nrrestcd Grcenwald Willlnm Burt
and II. E. Bodnor, alleged strikers, for
complicity in the wracking of tho train.
Acting under Instructions of General
Graham a detachment of soldiers visited
tho headquarters of tho strikers aud
seized a number of rifles aud alwut 100
Bhotguns. No resistanco was offered by
tho strikers.
