MASSlLL0N CORRESPONDENCE.

The American hotel was favored with
a large number of arrivals on Tuesday
and Wednesday, among whom were Ad-
iutant General Wykoff, "B. j. L." the
correspondent Of the Cincinnati Daily
Commercial, Il. B. Thomas, Gen. Mana
ger of the Cleveland, Tuscarawas Valley
& Wheeling Railway; Mr., Roy, inspec-
tor of mines for the State of Ohio, and a
large number Of prominent coal opera,
tors. The gathering, we suppose, had
something to do with the present disturb
ed state of mining business in the Ius-
carawas, Newman's Creek and Pigeon
Run Valleys.
1t is currently reported on the street
that the Adjutant General has detailed a
battery to protect such miners as may
be willing to work at operators prices,
and that test will be made at the war
mington mines. AT present the quiet OF
a cemetery reigns in all these Valleys
Work is entirely suspended, and will re-
main so unless adequate protection TO
life and property be furnished. All
good citizens are entitled to the protec-
ton of the law, but citizens claiming
such protection may have an individual
duty to perform. 1t is said the indiyid-
uals injured in the late afray know veil
the names of the attacking party, but
through fear, threats or something else,
the sufferers will not become complain
ing witnesses, and hence as yet no ar
rests have been made, and it is doubtful
ifany will be. The way to enforce law
is to arrest promptly, and place on trial
the violators of law.
The rite of baptism by immersion was
performed at the Tuscarawas river in

On Saturday morning, as Emma Loutz,
one of the hired girls at the American
Hotel in this city, was at work around

occasion hel death at 2 o'clock on Sun

The Cincinnati dailies are all repre-
sented by special correspondents. Just
now Massillon is regarded an important
point for news.
A pleasant little row occurred at Jake
Shel er's saloon one or two evenings ago
between Capt John McGraw, of the Ca

side by removing the window glass some

A correspondent of the Cincinnati Ga
zette at Washington says, that Judge
Cartier, whom the lame nted Gray, of the
Plain Dealer used to call Decay
Cartier, is an eminent lawyer, profound
Judge, and is endowed with great per-
sonal courage, and that he will see that
the law is enforced in the contest now
going on over Hallett Kilbourn, one of
the Boss Shepherd ring that has infested
Washington City of late years. The
question between Judge Cartier and the
House of Representatives arising out of
the issuing of writ of habeas corpus by
the Supreme Court of the District of Co.
lumbia, to take Kilbourn out of the pris-
on to which he was committed by the
House, for refusing to exhibit his books
of accounts to a committee. The idea of
Decay Cartter's profound legal learning
and personal courage is a little amusing
to those who remember his believing
like Bashan bull through the 18th Dis
trict in 184S-50, to get to Congress by
