CLEARFIELD, June John Sincy,
Ningo Parks, and other prominent leaders
of the strike were indicted to-day by the

REsUMING WORK-THE MILITARY WAN
TED BACK
PoTTsvILLE, June As predicted a
majority of the collieries in the Mahanoy
region resumed work this morning. Much
uneasincss prevails at Shamokin to night
owing to the Withdrawal of the Harrisburg
troops. The citizens have petition in
circulation praying that the troops may be
returned again, as their own militia is alb
sent at Shenandoah 1t is understood
that troops will be furnished them imme-
diately. Notwithstanding the prevailing
quiet and peace in the region, many bust
ness men are Of the opinion that attempts
will again be made to burn the collieries
between Mount Carmel and Shamokin,
where the men show disposition to work
and the breakers are not afforded ample
prosection.

The great Erie Railway has utterly failed,
and all its affairs have been placed in the
hands Of a receiver appointed by the courts
of New York This road was for many
years after it was built one of the most
powerful and prosperous corporations in the
country. It was then honestly managed,
and, though not very profitable, its credit
was never shaken. Unfortunately Erie
at length fell into the hands Of the stock
gamblers and politicians, and was controlled
in turn by such men as Daniel Drew, jim
Fisk aud Jay Gould, who watered its stock
until the original capital of about $50, 0,0OO,-
900 is now not less than $S4, 900, 900, and is
worth nothing at all. There are bonds and
other debts outstanding to cover the full
value of the road. 1t will probably pass out
of the hands Of the stockholders, and if
changed to the ordinary guage it may yet do
large business.

The Pittsburg Commercial gives list of
six Republican papers, headed by the Press
of Philadelphia, which opposed the election
of Hartranft for Governor in 1872, but are
now fully in accord with the party and its
nominations. Such change is certainly
indicative of popular feeling, showing that
none of the dissatisfaction which was so
prominent three years ago is now existing.
With united Republican press, and an un-
divided public sentiment in their favor, the
prospects for Hartranft and Rawle next
November are certainly very promising.

were wet and more unruly than usual the trial
room was warmer and cozier than before. At IL
O'Clock all the lawyers on both Sides except Messrs.
Evarts and Fullerton, were in their places. Mr..
Iilton bad Just entered-alone as usual-and was
moving his great coat. Mr. and Mrs. Beecher
had been IN their seats nearly fifteen minutes,
which was unusual, for they generally arrive few
minutes late. Mr.. Beecher while waiting read let
ter which had been Just handed him, and his wife,
who was dressed entirely in black cOnversed with
one of the Plymouth delegation. Mrs. Tlton, too,
was in her place earlier than usual. She was un-
vailed during the entire day. With the exception
OF one morning session, she has been present ever
since her husband began to testify. She was accom-
panied yesterday by her friends Mrs. Field,
Mrs. Shearman, and Mrs. Ovington, all of
whom Mr. Beecher pleasantly sauted as they
entered the courtroom. Considerable inquiry was
caused by the presence of two ladies in the audi
ence, one of them middle-aged lady and the other
that the latter was Bessie Turner. but those who
know Miss Turner say that it was not. These ladies
had been in the courtroom since quarter before TO-
and they remained until recess.
Mr.. Tilton appeared even more self-possessed yes
terday than he the day before. He was almost
invariably inpassive but during the reading of
the correspondence between himself and his
wife tears filled his eyes, Mrs. Tilton only
looked at her husband during the more important
parts of his testimony, and then she hardly raised
her head When Mr., Tilton SAID that he had
never cOerced his wife, and spoke of her hav-
ing a will of her own, she held her head down, and
appeared to be smiling. The other ladies at this
point turned TO her, and seemed much amused.
Except on this occasion and once OF twice when Mr..
IltOn was very ready in his replies to Mr. Evarts,
her face was quiet and almost without expression.
The absence Of Mr.. Tracy was explained yesterday
by his associates who say that he is preparing the
opening for the defense.
The spectators in the gallery are on an average
much older than those who are usually seen that
part of the courtroom during a great trial The
greater part of them yesterday were mdde-aged
or elderly men of ordinary respectable appearance.
At times they appeared deeply interested in the
proceedings but during the greater part of the day
they seemed to be engaged in looking at the counsel
jury, and ladies, rather than in listening to
the testimony. 1t was "A damp gallery, and
many of its occupants appeared to have
come TO the courthouse without umbrellas.
The wet overcoats folded over the front railing
were suggestive of rain drops trickling down from
them upon the heads of the Plymouth party below.
Were it not for the founess of the air in the gallery
1t would be perhaps the most comfortable place in
the court, the spectators not allowed to over
crowd it they do the lower floor. where they
so closely packed that it Is almost impossible for
men to refrain from pushing for more room.
