1e0 nint Barrillas Uses His Army Effec
Sically In Quelling the insurrection, and
Declares a Dictorship-Three Days of
Fighting and Bloodshed.
ST. Louis, Sept. 30.-A dispatch from
the City of Mexico says a revolution has
been precipitated in the Republic of
Guatemala, which will unquestionably
become general. A gentleman who left
the city of Guatemala on the morning of
the 16th inst., and who has just reached
this city on horse back from the Mexi
can fort of Acapulco, bring information
that an outbreak occurred in Guatemala
City on the 15th inst., and was still in
progress when he left.
According to his story the people of
that city were celebrating the anniver
sary of their national holiday. It ap
pears that President Barrillas had per
sonally appointed the orators of the day.
To this the masses took exception, and
when the orators took the rostrum, it
was the signal for a storm of stones,
which set then to flight, they being
chased across the big plaza by a howling
mob which shouted at the top of their
voices: "Down with the government,"
"Down with despotism and tyranny,"
"Die Barrillas."
STONING TilE LIBERALS.
Exciting scenes followed and every
Liberal or partisan was driven fron the
plaza, being soundly stoned at every
step. After that the masses elected
their orators and most violent and in
cendiary speeches followed.
News of the riot spread rapidly and
soon Barrillas threw a battallion of in
fantry into the large square for the
purpose of dispersing the mob. They,
with fixed bayonets, attempted to carry
the plaza by an assault. They were
met with a shower of stones and bullets
from revolvers. This unexpected action
of the mob put them to ignomious
flight, leaving many of their number on
the plaza. The uproar was something
to be long remembered. Members of
the mob shouted "Le's storm the na
tional palace, kill Barrillas and restore
the republican form of government.
Guatemala should not be ruled by dic
tators;" "The plunderin,g of the nation
al treasury must cease.'
TIlE ARTILLERY ORDERED OUT.
Barrillas then ordered the artillery
into the plaza and the infantry and two
cannons to guard his residence. When
the guns were turned on the mob there
was a general dispersing of them,though
they discharged revolvers at the artil
lery men. They left the plaza, but fought
in the side street. In fact they practi
cally, during the night of the 15thI held
full control of the city, though at inter
vals they were attacked by the infantry
who shot many of them. Reports of
revclversand rifles were to be heard all
night, and at the hour the gentlemen
giving this in formation left for San Jose
de ( ,iatemala to embark for Acapulco,
fighting still was in progress. In his
conception this will cmuse a general re
volt throughout the entire republic of
Guatemala, and engender war in all of
the other Contral American states. A
strict consorship is maintained over all
press aispatches, and the mails are also
trifled with to prevent the leaking out
of any information concerning the act
ual condition of the country. It is
statedi that cable commu~~nication with
G uatemiala City has been interrupted.
nIARRIILLAs IS 3IAMTER.
At 5i o'clock Monday afternoon T1he
American received a special dispatch
fromt Newton, on the line between
Guatemala andi Mexico. Thelm telegram
was delivered to the Newton telegraph
oflice by a special courier, and it brings
information that Jiarrillas is master of
the situation, he having put down the
revolt after three days' hard fighting.
The revolt was precipitated by Montu
far, son of one or the candidates for the
p)residenlcy, who is a strong partisan of
Barrillas, in attempting to make a polit
Ical speech on lndiependlence day. T1he
mob thlruw him -mnd his friends from the
platform in the main plaza, pelting
the:n with stones until they found shel
ter in a neighboring house. From that
time until the night of the 18th there
was street fighting. Sometimes the
mob was in control of the city, and at
othier times the army.
.'The arrival of troops from the ad
joining districts eventually restored Bar
rillas to power, and the city is thorough
ly infested with soldiers. Martial law
has been declared. It was expected in
the city of Guatemala that Biarrillas
would declare himself dictator so as to
prolong his term of ofilce.
SALVADOR WILL ATTACK.
Salvador is moving troops to the
mitary district of Santa Anna, bor
dering on the southern frontier of Gua
temlas, and it is believed for the purpose
of invading the latter country, if the
City of Guatemala revolt spreads to in
terior points. It is said that already in
Quezaltenango, one of the most im
portant cities in the upper districts of
Guatemala, revolts have occurred
against Barrillas within the past three
months, but they have proved so far
abortive.
FiV E IIUNDRED KILLED.
A private dispatch to a prominent
merchant in this city, who has businesm
relations in the City of Guatemala
shown to a correspondent last night
from Newton, says fully 500 lives were
sacrificed ini the three days' ighting in
the revolt in the city of Gnatemala and
that shooting is still going on. The dia
patch also conveys the miiformation thai
/Barrillas has declared himself dictator
)It is stated Col. Jobon killed Gen. San
/ 'iez, and it followed that the brother of
.JGen. Sanchez, learning of lisa assassina
Nti on, went to the place, which was sur.
7 rounded by cannon, where Jobon wam
stationed and shot and killed him.
TH'JE REIGN OF TERROR.
, Snchez's brother has been executed,
The city is under martial law and a
reign of terror prevails, the inhabitants
being afraid to leave their houses. In
the revolt which has taken place at
Quezaltenango the revolutionary leader
is reported to be supported by over
1 000 men. The palace and residence of
I1resident JBarrillas are guarded by both
infantry and artillery. The president
does not go abroad unless guarded by a
'large force of cavalry.

LIFE OF A BRAKEMAN.
It Is MUoh Ploasanter Now Than
in Former Days.
Air Brakes and Autoniatic Couplere Have i
Lightened JIN Ta4k-Th4v Pay Nearly
Double What It Was a
Few Vars Ago. t
I
In few branches of manual labor has
modern invention done so much to
lighten the burden that falls on the
human muscles as in the applica
tion of the air-brake system to railroad
ears. It is only some twenty years
since the air brake was first introduced,
and in that period all the hard, disa
grteable labor that fell to the lot of the
passenger brakeman has been done
away with, while the task of the freight
brakeman has been greatly lightened.
. In the olden times, before the Miller
coupler and huffer and the air brake
were introduced, the lot of a brakeman
on a passenger train was anything but
a happy one.
hiIs duties required that he remain on
i the platform for the greater portion of
the titne, and this was in many a case
1 equivalent to a death warrant, for with
r the old-fashioned platforms and coup
) ling apparatus in case of a collision
telescoping was certain to occur, and
the poor brake twister was invariably t
- ground into fragments between the t
ends of the cars as they crushed to
gether.
It was necessary, too, for him to
"know the road" thoroughly. That is,
he must know all the grades and
bridges and each point where it was
. necessary to slacken the speed of the
- train, Lld he must put on his brake
and let it off again exactly at the proper
moment without waiting for the signal
froml the locomotive.
3 The slightest inattention to duty was
I bound to insure a very bad five-min
- utes' interview with the engineer at the
C end of the run, and if repeated too often,
3 with the superintendent, or "old man,"
as he is called in railroad parlance.
Approaching each station there were I
landnarks which must be learned, and i
before passing which the brakes must
j not be touched. The thorough bralce
e man scorned to nalce a slow stop, but 4
t dtelighted in manipulating the wheel so i
that the train came to a quiAck halt ex- t
- actly in the same spot every time.
It took imusele to do this, and miv
a crew had trLined themselves to act inl
B such ConcerCt that they couild invariably
bring their train to a halt in very little
1mo0re space than is now re<quired withi
tle air bralces.
Wen aiir brakes were first introduced
r they were, if course, not so perfect as
r they are now. An attempt was made
to initice the old broad gauge Erie rail
road (this was (uring Jim Fisk's life) to
e adopt the system. A train was equipped,
i andl with it was sent a crew which ran
I on one of the express trains.
8 Signal flags were set up, and the
promoters of this air brake plan were
all4wed stveral trials to show just
howt .lmiekly they could stop a train
g4ing at full speed. After they had
Sdonie their best the new brakes were
(Ilscmnliected, and the crew of brake
inen wvere given a chance to display
r their skill.
h -he result as that they stopped the
train ini every instance in less distance
y. than was uised( by the air br-akes. As a
n eonse<iee thme old( system was re-i
s. tZanedl for' ye'ars andl( until after many
y imrprovemenits had been made in the
-air brak es.
I The old4 passenger brakemen was a
man oif mnuscle', the conitinuail twisting
-3 of brakes p)rodulcing a development of
the biiceps that might have been en
Sviedl by mnany' a modern "'pug."' Armed
with no o ther' weapon but a lantern, he
rthought no(thiing of '"standing ofY" half
a doz/en trampsih) or engaging a gang of
roughs that sought to " run things.''
TIhe writer was braking on a train
onc4e uipon a timne when~i aLdisputo aro~se

to dlrawl a revolver. G rasping the man's

brakeman happened in, and for a fewv
- inuiites there was a lively rowy. h1iut
the lanteirns got the best of it andl a
3 whioleso mle lesson w'as taught.
TIhie br-akemnan of to-day, however, is
so only in name. l1arely doies he touch
-the bmrake wheel, but his dutties are eont
lined to building fires, calling out the
nmamles oif stations, helping pleople on
aind ot'f the traini, and flirting with the
pretty girl passenger's.

Swarmi c'aboiose the brakeman hurries4
- lanmto'rn in hiandl, andl climbs to the
.leck oif the nleareost car. The windl is
blowing a gale, the running board is
covered( with ice. It is impossible to
- wailk, s4)odowni on all fours lie goes and .
crawls along as best lhe may. A gust
of wind extinguishes the light in his
lantern, so lie feels along cautIously
until he~ reaches the end( of the car,
then eatchies the brake wvheel and "sets
at uip" as tightly as lie can.
Perhaps the "dog" and ratchet are so
clogged with ice that thoy do not holdl,
I and just as lie thinks the brake Is "e
3 cure It slips and around goes the wheel
with a suddlenness and force that, If he
be not on his guard, will probably cost
him his life by throwing him down be
Stween the cars.
Along the toP of the next car he
Bcrawls to repeat the operation. The
.wind almost takes his breath away. It

ome back with a thundering crash.
A curve is struck, and the unwicldlN
ars lurch and sway and threaten to g'

*on of the brake wheel have be
umbed the poor brakey's hands s<
hat he can hardly use them, and al
lie while the repeated calls for brake
ron the engineer urge him to (1o hit
timost to slacken the speed of tih

Perhaps, as he tugs at some whee'

hain gives way, and woe to him if It
kave not presence of mind and strengtt
if muscles sulicient to retain hi

Vheels.
The danger is tenfold greater, too, il
ic be using a "club" as a lever in tight

ive way, as not infrequently happens
,nd the brakeman have the wheel tori
romn the grasp of his single hand,
leath or mutilation is almost certain t(

It is always the part of a brakemai
vho understands his business to exam
ne the rods and chains on each car tim

rain leaves the yard. ()n some roadh

A bll is pending inl the I gislature of
our SIt lookin- to the prohibition of
the lifilor tratli inl South Carolina. It
has been drafted watl caire, and will be
rurther amended before it is put oi its
passage by guarding O.hm weak points in
similar billA is ot,hers States. II it IA
passed it will be the strongest law of
the kind extant.
That it will pass there canl be no doubt
If the friends of' humanity will rally this
once more to the wetk. To gain this
ColBelBus of ell'ort the Good Te uplars
of Columbia have appointed a commit
tee. That commitltee has sent out a
circular letter and a number of blank
troms of' petition to every minister of
the Gospel mi the State, irrespective of
denomination or color, whose address
could 14e obtained, to every Deputy in
Good Teniplar Lolzes and Divisions of
the Sons of Temperance. Twenty odd
thousand of the petitiolls has thus been
sent ouit.
Shall we succeed? That depends now
upon t,he whIn;, co-operation of tihe
frit nds of the cause. Will you pardon
us if' we continue t,o urge lour attet,ion
to this n ttc? The work is great, but
it has been so divided that a thorough
tcanvass canl be made and no one bur
dtned. If .ou cannot give this work
Sousr inmnediate personal attention, will
