NEW ORLEANS, Oct.. 8.-Thls city Is
practically In tb hands of rioting moba
of striking street car men, who do not
hesitate to kill In order to keep the cars
from running.
This morning at 11 o'olock a mob of
thirty strikers attacked and overturned
i. police patrol wagon which was tilled
with non-union men who had been in
jured in a previous conflict, and who
were being taken to the hospital. Sev
eral of the policemen who were In the
wagon were hurt and a newspaper re
porter named Robert Edwards was badly
Injured in the light that ensued, his right
hand being completely torn off. Many
of the attacking party were also severely
injured.
This forenoon a non-union man was
found lying on tho sidewalk In front of
the union headquarters, unconscious from
a beating he had received at the hands
of the strikers. He was at once taken
to the Charity Hospital, but he died
shortly afterwards without divulging the
names of his assailants.
me inhabitants of the city are In a
state of consternation over the report
which is being circulated saying that dis
patches had been received stating that
700 non-union men would arrive here to
night and take the place of the strikers.
If such is the case there Is no doubt
that a fierce battle will be fought, as
the men are determined that the cars
shal net run until their "demands have
been complied with, and if is feared that
damage to property will result. ' The
strike has reached a state that it is al
most unsafe for a citizen jo appear on
the streets, where the majority of the
union men congregate, for fear hey will
be mistaken for non-union men and as
saulted. POLICE POWERLESS.

of strikers, which was returned. A hun

pulled off a car and beaten into insensi

' and a jton-unlonlst named Kennedy was
serlousty shot. Many of the police were

used as missiles. The Mayor issued a

only thirty responded. Another attempt

sued a statement saying that fifty tele

resolving to remain out even if the en

A Convict Escapes on

A BOLD ATTEMPT
DesperatePlot for Wholesale De
livery, Unearthed as a
Consequence.
SAN i RANCIBCO, Oct 8. The most
sensational escape from prison that has
ever been made In this state occurred
this morning when a convict named Mar
plty made a dash for liberty on a prison
locomotive. :i '.
This morning Convict Murphy created
consternation- among the sicte prison
oil clals by making a successful dash for
l.l erty and escaping on a locomotive be
longing to the prison. As he made the
race from the prison he was fired upon
by the guards, a hundred bullets strlk-
TRIAL FOR MURDER
Ing the engine in close proximity to the
fleeing convict, but none of. which sue
ceeded In stopping his daring flight.
The engine used by the convict in
making his escape is one that is used
to haul crushed reck -from the- prison
to the Folsom railroad yards, tho only
free man used In running the same being
the engineer, the fireman and brakeman
being prisoners, who are trusties.
PULi-ED THROTTLE OPEN.
While the engineer and braaemaii left
the engine to attend to sdme work about
the yardsMurphy, tpokf d vantage of their
absence and made the dash. No sooner
had the men reached a distance from the
locomotive where it was not likely that
tney could overtake him than he leaped
to the throttle and pulled it wide open
In lesponse to his touch the engine gave
a terrible leap, and In a few seconds
w?s going down the track towards Sac
ramento at full speed. Just as the en
gine started one of the brakemen wno
happened to be near, aeelng the action
of Murphy, made a run for it and suc
ceeded In jumping on the pilot from which
bay by the daring convict with a mon
k?y wrench. jj
TAKES TO THE WOODS.
When, the fugitive reached Alder Creek,
a dittance of several miles from the
prison, he stopped the engine and took
refuge in the dense underbrush along tne
bnk of the stream. As the brakeman
had no weapons he thought It useless to
five chase, fearing that he could not over
como the escaping convict who was armed
with a long Iron bar. However, he at
once brought the engine back to Folsom
and turned It over to the officers, at the
same time giving all the" Information he
could as to the direction taken by the
fugitive.
Murphy was serving a sentence of three
years, having been convicted of a burg-larj-
committed in Fresno, and was not
looked upon as a desperate character
by the prison officials.
PLANS WELL LAID.
It is very evident that Murphy had his
plans well laid, . and was also provided
with plenty of money to assist him In
making his way through the country,
and irom all Indications there is not
much doubt but what he nas friends out
side who were prtpargi to help, bun con
tinue his flight at atiy time be. should
make the break. A big posse was at ones
oresnlzed to go In pursuit of him, and
owing to the fact that they started so
soon after the escape It Is very probable
that he will be recaptured before he has
gie very fair.
DESPERATE PLANS DISCOVERED.
Murphy la the fourth prisoner to escape
In the last forty days, and tne- guards
have been on the alert for tntteation of
any more attempts. As a .result one of
. . .
the boldest plots for a wholesale deliv
ery of prisoners In the history of the
state has been unearthed Just tn the nick
of time, for It was discovered that the
prisoners had made a desperate plan to
make a bold stroke, for freedom today.
It was one of the most daring projects
In the history of prisons, and the only
thing that prevented its being carried Into
operation waa the discovery by one ot
the guards of six daggers which bad In
some way been slipped to the prisoners
from the outside. It was the intention ot
those of the convicts who were to take
part . In the revolt to ' tike the daggers
In forcing the guards to walk with them
outside the lines, and when they had ar
rived at a place where their movements
would be concealed by the brush and
trees they would make a run for liberty,
first depriving the officers of their
weapons.
MURPHY CAPTURED. "
Convict Murphy was captured this
morning by Frank Millard. After leav
ing the locomotive he spent some time
in an old beet, sugar factory. Millard
covered him with his rifle and Murphy
surrendered. Aldrloh, the bralcFman, will
be pardoned for faithful service In at'
tempting to head Murphy off.
