It has had a most salutary effect on the whole mutiny. The prison was as quiet as a dead- house during the night. To-day the re- fractory prisoners are like mice in a trap. They are afraid to move even lest an in- dvertent echo may bring the dread fire- \ozzle through tae wicket. The ardor of e strikers has cooled with the tempera- of their auarters. The strike spirit is waning rapidly. Already nearly balf of belligerents have requested the au- thorities to be aliowed to go to work. Hosing an unruly convict is a popular pastime among the guards. They enter into it with just as much enthusiasm as rikers displayed in their cursing and ng the past three days.

In one ca-e a prisoner took it into Lis head to dance a jig behind the protec- tion of the casement. He was dragged from his cover and made to do a regular | LGrpipe, With hydrant accompaniment. Over sixty of the cells and their occu- pants were flushed in this manver. One cose was enough in every instance. Since that time there has not been even a whisper heard in any of the tauk cells, e drenched men had a miserable night of it. On the floor of the cells were pools of water, which made lying down decidedly unpleasant. Their discomforts were not in the least mitigated with the morning. Shaking and shivering like a lot of half-drowned rats, they received their daily allowance of bread and water atnoon to-day without a murmar. Al- ready some of them deciare they are suf- | fering from incipient rheumatism and pneumonia, but they will be compellea to bear their lot, be whiat it may. There is still a big contraband trade go- ing on in food and tobacco inside the prison. The bread and water brigade manages to gei more than the table rations allow it, despite the vigilance of the guards. The cooks and waiters in the dining-room have been warned of the significance of Governor Bu‘d's order that no cinzenship will be re-tored to anybody who sympathizes with or helps the revolt; but bread smuggling goes on just the same. A similar trafic in tobacco prevails, Large guantities of the weed have been discovered in many of the tank cells, and how it got there is almost as much a mystery as the origin of the strike.

'No such action as remoying the leaders of these men to Warden Aull’s jurisdiction is contemplated.” Ten more guards have been added to the prison force. They will begin their duttes this evening.

From their elevated positions the sentries will be able to detect any indications of a riot. FIGHTING TO SAVE WORDEN. Application Made io the United States Courts for a Writ of Habeas Corpus, SACRAMENTO, CaL., June L—George W. Monteith, attorney for Salter D. Worden, the condemned train-wrecker, has applied to the United States Distri Court for a writ of habeas corpus on be- balf of his client. Itis expected that the court will refuse to grant the writ, in which event an appeal will be taken to the United States Supreme Court from the order denying the writ. Warden Aull has been informed of what has taken place and has communicated with the Attorney-General on the subject. At the Attorney-General's office bere it could not be ascertained what would be done under the circunmstances, but it is generally supposed that the appeal, 1nas- much as itis of the same nature as *hat passed upon by the State Supreme Court, will not interfere with the carrying out of tbe judgment. As soon as the decision of Governor Budd not to interfere in behalf of Saiter D. Worden was annouunced in this City, the labor union leaders became greatly agitated. To a large number it was & great surprise, for it was hoped that the State’s executive would be inclined to be lenient. In fact. that was the imvression made by ths Governor upon the union committee which visited him on Sunday. As the decision was not generally known until announced by the newspapers, no concerted action was taken until last evening. Members of the local American Rail- way Union burried among their union friends to see what could be done. Tuere was some talk of getting out a writ of haveas corpus and making an effort to se- cure a new trial on the xrouna of having discovered new evidence that would prove the doomed man’s innocence. Upon the latter lines it was decided to make one more move upon the Governor before the iatal day—Friday next. Every effort will be made to get Governor Budd to grant thirty days’ reprieve for Worden and thus give time for one more prayer for o new trial. It is said that Concressman James G. Maeuirs was induced to call upon Goy- ernor Budd and ask for a reprieve, but with what success was not known, In the meaatime, the labor union men were working like beavers among the unions. One Iarge commitiee, consisting of J. W. Rose, Harrv Knox, J. R. Cassidy, 0. P. Waiden and othess, sited tne unions for two purposes—to calt & mass- meeting and to raise money to carry on the tignt. It is desired to nola a mass- meeting to-morrow evening in AMetro- politan Temple or the Temple at 117 Turk street. The purpose is to huve the voice of labor raised in one great protest to the Governor against tne execution of the suriker, In order to carry on the fight money is required for attornevs’ fees, affidavits and witnesses, and the unions last evening gave thewr first installment. The Baiid- inz Trades Council had already uted $10. The Amalecamated Woo ers added $10 and the Cigarmakers’ Union No. 228 made s like contribution. To-night mnuch more 18 expected. Some of the newly discovered evidence, <0 called, is the testimony of W. Craig and wife, who it is said wer> not permitted to at the trial 12 Wood Accord- ing to the statements made by the com- mittee it is stated thut the defense will prove by the Craigs that Worden was drunk in bed in their house in Sacramento at the time of the wrecking of thie train carrying the troops. Other evidence of a similar natnre will be produeed if the co: demned man is granted a new trial, s Basines S it INCENDIARY BLAZE NEAR LODI.

The conclusion arrived at was that it would be politic tp grany forty-eight hours’ grace to Mrs, Squires. If she remains obdurate at the end of that period—well, possibly there will be another mass-meetin; To-night's meeting was well atterded. The report of the joint committees ap- pointed to notify the management of the Hotel Johannesburz to discharge its Japanese employes was accepied. The committee explained the situation fully and suggested that the landlady, Mrs. Squires, be given a little time to engage other help. Several speecties were made, all of which were 1n favor of extending the period of grace. Then another com- mittee of three was appointed to wait upor Mrs. Squires and request her to heed ese 40 aL once. A small crowd accompanled the com- mittee to Johannesburg.

He was standing near a large tree, which sheltered him from the storm. The lightning struck the upper part of the tree, tore off some of the top branches and ran down the trunk. The bolt entered Waters’ right shoulder, ran down his body and right leg to the knee, where the current also struck the left knee, divided and then passad down to both feet, bursting both of his shoes. The burned ciothes and even the glove on his right hand show where the lightning had passed. Waters fell unconscious, and how long | he remained so he does not kaow. When he began to recover he knew what had nappened, though for a time he was per- fectly helpless. By degrees the use of his hands came back, and, being on a hillside, he succeeded in turning over: He saw ihat his body appeared to be badly burned. His legs were paralyzed and he says they felt as though they were crushed fo pi-ces, the torn and burned condition of his shoes and clothing help- ing doubtless 10 create this impression. The pain was not very severe until the blood began to circulate. Then it was in- tense. Waters succeeded eventually in crawl- ing to the top of the ridge, about 300 yards, and found that the exercise was doing him good.
