wnKEsBARRE, Pa, May 0. 1875.
The troubles among the miners in Kingston are
rs far from being settled as ever and the excite
ment and complications seem TO be on the in
crease. Yesterday, morning High Constable Klap-
per went over TO the mining village OF Payne
co. to arrest the women charged with assaulting
MT. McDade last Wednesday night, but was unable
90 carry out his mission. lie took with him
posse OF I'VE men, force only suflcient to pro-
woke ridicule, ana came away without his pTis-
Dners lie states that the roads near the mines
were thronged with excited miners, women and
children, and the evidences were sufficiently
strong TO indicate that any attempt 70 arrest the
parties would be followed Dy open resistance and
be extremely hazardous to the constable and his
assistants. The matter was therefore temporarily
compromised BY the husbands OF the accused wo-
men agreeing that they should appear before
Alderman DeiGler In this city, at four O'Clock this
afternoon. Inc hour came and passed without
the belllgcrcnt females putting In an appearance,
and the proceedings closed for the day with score
placed against the confidence he reposed IN the
promises OF some OF Payneis miners About I'VE
O'Clock. when 1t became perfectly clear that the
design was TO evade the consequences OF
the overt acts, warrants were made
out by the Alderman and intrusted 70
the Sheriff on Monday that oflcer will
have another elephant his hands as huge IN
proportion as that now maintained IN the Lehigh
region. 1t seems almost certain that the Kings
ton miners are bent upon making a good deal OF
trouble, and their actions during the past week
have been as turbulent and unlawful as any which
took place in and near Hazleton previous TO the
appearance OF the militia.
