HAZLETON, PENN, March 3l.-An-
other crowd Of armed men have started
from EbervSle for the upper Lehigh 20
stop the men employed by the jersey
Central railroad from loading coal at
that place. A special train has left here
with detachment Of police, armed aud
equipped, to resist any attempt at vio-
lenee by the mob. The result OF this
raidiDg is awaited with great anxiety,
as our local police is too small to con-
tend with the exssperated miners, and
call for the military is expected.
A dispatch from the upper Lehigh an
nounees the killing OF M'DsrmOtt, one
] Of the bosses there. Last night coffin
/ hand bills were served on the men ob-
tanning coal for the boilers at Eckley
! colliery. This whole region of the

TO assist the sheriff in the discharge Of
his duties. Another raid was made on

posse, has just arrived with four prison.

discovered near Drifton, on their return
from Upper Lehigh, when the sheriff
advised them to throw away their arms,
after which he, with his posse, proceed
ed ON to Ebervale and awaited the ar
rival of the rioters. Wishing to avoid
unnecessary trouble, the sheriff sent out
8 courier to warn them q second time,
threatening to arrest every man found
with arms on his person. The miners
were soon seen approaching, but with |
out their guns, having previously Sc
creted them in the woods. Every man |
was searched as he came in, the result |
being the arrest Of the four men men, |
toned above, who had pistols and bill |

effort was made to throw one of the pas
senger trains of the track to-day be-
tween Jeddo and Ebervale. There is
also rumor that crowd of miners are
coming tonight from Schuylkill coun-
ty to make a raid on CorktOwn and
Evansville.
ANOTHER OUTBREAK EXPECTED.
COLUMBUS, OHIO, March 3I.-Several
prominent coal operators called on Gov
ernor Allen to-day and informed him
that they had good reason to believe
that serious trouble might be expected
at Nelsonville before long from mis-
chief-making coal miners, who are seek
ing to drive all the cOIored miners from
Hooking Valley. They called to obtain
his opinion as TO what they had better
do under the circumstances. ThL gov
ernor informed the party that he had is
sued a proclamation TO the local officials
to use their full authority to prevent
blOOdshed or destruction Of property,
and that, with the law, was amply suf-
ficient to meet all cases. The governor
declined to give any advice as to what
steps the coal miners should take to pro-
tect their property, saying the citizens
must construe the laws for themselves,
and that it was his business to act when
the laws were violated, rather than to
anticipate their violation.
