Another Account.

KNOXVILLE, March 2O.-Bald mountain
is between Crooked creek and Broad river
in Mcdowell county. The mountain ex
tends into Rutherford county, and is usually
called Stone mountain. The people within
twenty-five miles have been alarmed fo
twenty days by a quivering Of the eartl
and rumbling sounds like artillery. All at
tribute the phenomena to Bald mountain.
Some fifty jewellers upon its slopes say i
seemed as though the mountain was giving
way. The cattle, being alarmed, have lef
their usual ranges. People gathered in on,
Preachers of various denominations presen
stated that the top Of the peak sunk, ant
smoke issued.

miners at Minonk, WOodfOrd county, Hi
nOis, recently formed Miners Union. ant
yesterday the proprietors Of the mines dis
charged all members of the Union aDG
filled their places with Norwegian miners
The discharged miners gathered at the
shafts and endeavored by threats and per
suasion to prevent the new hands going tC
work, but were unsuccessful and were
finally sent off the premises.
Last evening the wives of the discharged
miners gathered in the vicinity of the shaft
and assailed the new men and the presi-
dent OF the mining company with eggs and
other missiles, and the trouble finally
reached the dimensions of a riot, which the
town authorities being unable to suppress
entirely, Governor Beveridge was tele-
graphed for military aid.
The Governor dispatched Adjutant Gen
eral Higgins with quantity OF arms to the
scene of the trouble and telegraphed the
sheriff to aid in suppressing the disturb
ance. To-day number of the rioters were
arrested, and, at last advices, were being
tried before justice of the peace. There
appears to be great excitement in MnOnk,
damage to any one.
