SCRANTON, Pa, April IL, 1871.
The city has been extraordinarily quiet to-day.
The streets have been literally deserted. and no one
would suppose, from present appearances, that q
partial state OF war existed. The miners failed to
knot upon the corners, few are about any way and
the wonder is where they hare all gone 70. None
but citizens gong about their ordinary avocations,
have been seen upon the thoroughfares. and the
stiffness Is almost painful, when contrasted with
the busy hum which has been going on for the past
week.
To-day convention Of miners, composed OF three
delegates from each district OF the Miners Union.
embracing the works OF the great companies In this
valley, has been In session In Hyde Park. They
have under consideration the question OF arbitration
and what proposition they Will be willing to make
for going to work. The people hereabouts are wait
