W1LKEsBARRE, Pa, May 81, 1875.
Our mining community has new cause for
commotion to-day, and the streets have been
crowded with men lahoring under severe lever
OF excitement. The raid made by the malcontent
miners oil Sugar Notch upon the men doing out
side WORK at Wanamte on Sunday and Monday OF
last week, and during which a man aud his wife
were cruelty Dea en- and left for dead, has been
fully recorded. Since that event the authorities
have been looking for the rlngleaders in the
affair, but without eject until last night, or
rather very early this morning. Three were cap
tured last Thursday night, but the remainder
scattered and evaded arrest until o descent was
made upon them. AS indicated aoove, it was as
certaned last evening taat portion OF the rioters
had returned home to visit their families, and Mr.
George Parrish, superintendent OF the miners OF
the Lehign and WIlkesbarre Coal Company in this
quar- er, resolved TO take Them into custody. An
engine was run down tne 4oad 70 sugar
Notch, aud tine officers OF the law succeeded
In capturing thirteen OF the raiders before an
lntimatlou was given mat tue Phihstlnes were
upon the 80 quietly and expeditiouSly was
the affair managed That the people OF Sugar
Notch were hardly aware of the legal vsi alton
until the accused parties were locked I'D III Jail
TO await bail for their appearance at the next
term Oh tue Court. 1hls afternoon the raiders
were released rom prison, each giving recogni-
zances In " 900 to answer such charges may
be preferred by the Commonwealth his action
has created intense bitterness among the strikers,
but the company IS lully determined TO prosecute
all who ere engaged III tue rala upon Waname,
and have warrants out Tor about thirty more or
the rineleaders in that highly rcprenensoe affair
IDLE DONORS.

tIleve, II possible, the desperate straits INTO
which the men have falien To-day they are
cneered by the report that orders have come ron
