lJ "fc f -j0" ' ' VOL. VII THE DALLES, OREGON, SATURDAY, JULY 14, 1894. NO. 173 WORDEN IS THE MAN Arrested for Wring tie Train at Sacramento. - GOMPERS IS STILL CONSERVATIVE John Sherburn Tells How the bridge Was Destroyed at Sacramento and Who Did It. The Bridge Tragedy. Sacramento, July 12. A startling story was told by John Sherburn, a boy. He is the son of Major Sherburn, who is well known here. According to his con fession, which' is now in the hands of the proper' authorities, S. D. Worden, who is under arrest for ditching the overland train yesterday, which resulted in the death of Engineer Clark and three soldiers, approached him yesterday mnrm'no and asked him if he would drive him and several friends to Yolo county. Sherburn accepted the offer, and a few minutes later four strikers drove up in a three-seated rig. Worden and Sherburn jumped into the wagon, and the latter was told to drive to Yolo county. After crossing the bridge Sher ' barn was ordered to drive along the road leading to the scene pf yesterday's wreck. When they reached the latter place Sherburn was ordered to alight from the wagon, and told by Worden to step into the caboose of a freight train, which was standing close by. The boy obeyed, but from a window in the caboose - he saw Worden and his com panions tatce irom an empty car, wnicn was attached to the freight train, a rifle, 'several boxes of cartridges, a monkey- . wrench and a crowbar. The articles were placed in the wagon and Sherburn, after , being told to come out of the caboose, was ordered to drive to Davis ville. -When some diitance from the latter place, the articles were taken from the wagon and Worden and the con spirators started up the track, after tell ing the boy to remain in charge of the team. After waiting for some time the friends returned and ordered Sherburn to drive to Woodland. During the trip the boy heard Worden remark with a fiendish grin : "I used to fire with that and before manv minutes his soul will be in." When Woodland was reached, the murderers, with the exception of Wor den, alighted and walked up the road. The latter remained in the wagon and ordered Sherburn to drive back to the city. It was not until the two-mile trestle was reached that Sherburn real' ized what had happened. He silently surveyed the wrecked' train, but was afraid to question Worden, as he thought he might kill him. When the Yolo bridge was reached Worden alighted from the wagon and ordered Sherburn to return the team to the stable. Con vinced that Worden and his friends were responsible for the ditching of the train, he immediately notified the authorities. Worden and several other strikers were then arrested for murder. This afternoon Sherburn was taken to the county jail and positively identified Worden. He was unable to recognize the other prisoners. It is expected that more arrests will be" made tonight. It is known at least eeven men are respon sible for the wreck. Six Practical Suggestions. Chicago, July 12. The strike situa tion throughout the country today was, in general, one of quietness. The cen tral point of interest has been the meet ing of the labor leaders with President Go no per a, of the Federation of labor, at the labor headquarters in the city. It is admitted that the action of that body, if taken unanimously, will have a marked effect on theituation, and per sons well informed as to the predilictions of the persons composing it express the opinion that unanimous action by it, except jn the direction of quieting the present agitation or turning it into other channels, is unlikely. It is known that several suggestions are being con sidered by the leaders. Among them are the following : , First, that the striking Pullman em ployes, on high patriotic 'grounds ap peal to President iDebs to declare the strike off by reason of the infinite dam r .-',' Highest of all in Leavening Power. Latest U. S. Gov't Report TrV W age which ia being done to the business of the country. Second, that the leaders unite in an appeal to the public to quit patronizing Pall man sleeping care, drawing-room and dining-cars. Third, that President Cleveland be re quested to appoint a committee to in vestigate the strike and the causes which led op to it, in expectation that the report of such commission would justify the action taken by the strik ers and free them from the charges of rioting and disorder. Fourth, that immediate efforts be made to secure the impeachment of At torney General Olney. Fifth, that an effort be made to secure the passage of a compulsory arbitration law by congress. Sixth, that complaints be lodged look ing to the indictment of the railway man agers for conspiracy to obstrnct the movement of the United States mails by refusing to run mail' cars except in connection with Pullman - At noon today the union machinists threw down their tools and joined in the general sympathetic strike, which was inaugurated yesterday. As is usual in such cases, the strike affects the large shops far more than the smaller ones, where only a few men are employed. Promptly at 12 o'clock the 700 men em ployed by Fraser & Chalmers laid down their tools and went on a strike.- Be fore doing so, they had notified Presi dent W. J. Chalmers of their intention, and held a conference, wherein the men stated their position. They iiaid they had no complaint against the company, nor any grievances of any kind, but had been ordered to strike out of sympathy, and would do so to show their senti ments. Mr. Chalmers made a speech, in which he said he hoped that the strike would cause no hard feeling be tween the company and its employes, and with a handshake and well wishes all around, the men left, and the big shop, which a few minutes - before had been all bustle and conf uBion, was silent. Over 100 men employed by the Gates Iron Company walked out at the same hour, and a number of other shops were affected. . A SAD MISNOMER. The Term "Old Staid" Jit Almost Always Misapplied. I lately heard an amusing new defini tion to the term "old maid," which was held to apply, not to elderly spin sters in general, but only to such as had never had a chance of changing their condition; those who "would not when they could," or whose course of true love has run rough, receiving the more ' respectful title of "maiden ladies." The idea emanates from a masculine brain, but the difficulty of ascertaining which designation ap plies in individual cases is a problem which the superior male intellect has not condescended to solve, says the Ladies' Pictorial. ' Are old maids under this definition to be expected to wear some particular form of cap, or have their hat cut in a special fashion, or add the letters "O. M." to their visiting cards? I am convinced that there are very few women indeed whose experience has failed to include a love affair of some kind, and of these few only a small minority would acknowledge the fact. A more correct idea of the term, it seems to me, and one which takes away its old-fashioned sting, is that it de scribes a certain type of woman irre spective of her condition in life. " The prim, narrow-minded person who fusses over trifles, who would leave matters of the most paramount duty or engross ing interest in order to put tidy a drawer or sew on a button; who goes all her life in fear of Mrs. Grundy, and would leave any kind action undone, or kind word unsaid, if it. ran the slightest risk of offending that poten tate, would be old-maidish in spite of any number of matrimonial ventures; while, on the other hand, there are plenty of liberal-minded, youthful hearted old misses to whom the epithet is so obviously unsuitable that no one thinks of applying it.
