miners as follows: About thirty men
went TO work In Hutchinson's this
morning. They marched from their
homes in body, and were armed with
rifles and revolvers. A crowd Of men,
women aud boys followed them with
threats and imprecations, and were on
ly deferred from acts of violence by
the weapons Of the workmen; and the
woiner we're particularly bitter with
inveciives, and at one point in the mile
march nearly precipitated Conflict
Threats were made to have a crowd
this evening, when they come out OF
the mine, large enough to mob them. -
Through fear CT this the authorities
were called upon this morning, by Mr..
Hutchinson, for protection, and posse
is being raised to 60 to Kingston this
afternoon. \ posse Of twelve men,
under charge of Deputy Sheriff Rhoades,
went to Hutchins6n's mines this after
noon. They were armed with rifles,
and escorted the men who had been a.
work to their homes this evening. A
crowd of excited women followed the
striking miners and their guard, but
did nothinG more than to boot at aud
deride them as black legs and traitors.
Mr. Hutchinson believes the men
will gradually return to work, as it is
shown they will be protected, until he
has full force again. A few men
went into Payne's mine to day, and the
number will probably be increased to-
morrow. Mr.. Hutchinson has offered
three dollars and fifteen cents per day
to miners, but the ringleaders deter its
acceptance This is better pay than
the Hyde Park miners are receiving,
ard they last night passed resolution
to send no more assistance to Kingston
men on that ground.
