How The Train Was Wrecked

The wreek of the train was a diabolical piece of work. The miscreants who accomplished it had sawed the supports of the trestle in such manner that the damage could not be seen, the rails being left intact. At Oakland the outlook was also warhke. An extra force ol 150 bpecial policemen under deputies had been sworn in. The railroad officials were making preparations early in the day to start trains simultaneously with those sent out f rom Sacramento. Af ter the full force of deputies had arrived a band of strikera charged into the yards on tue mole. When mora men arrived the strikers charged again and this time the deputies gave way. After all the eugines tbat had beeu run out were killed the 8trikers withdrew. Then came the news of the disaster near Sacramento. Wben División Superintendent Wilder heard that the train had been wrecked be stopped further preparations. "We want to know where we stand," he said, "before wegoahead. . If bushwhacking is now to prsvail we do not propose to send our men out and jeopardizr; theirjiives. " As yet no marines from Mare Island have been landed at Oakland. Trains are running iu northern California only on the coast división. Neither iu San Francisco nor at San José did the strikers cause any disturbarce during the day. Htirry Knox, the leader of the strikers, bas issued the following: "I desire to sta:e in behalf of the American Railway Uiiion that this or Ier had not the remotest connection with the ditching of the train between Sacramento and Davisville this afteruoon, in which several persons lost their lives. We condemn this action as outrageous and barbarous and entirely contrary to the spirit of the American Railway Union, which is engat;ed in an honorable struggle in the interest of labor and is oppo-ed to viole ice or the sacriñee of human life. This act was done by 8ympathizers, and we regret it the more as it is calculated to injure rather than help.us. We sincerely trust that this first act of violeuce will be the last." Officers have found the tools which were bidden with which the trestle was weakr-ned, and know who the parties are who hid them.
