Col. French states that he will keep
troops there as long as needed.
The order closing the drinking saloons
at Martinsburg Is considered wise and
beneficial, and doubtless prevented
bloodshed.
Evans and Davis, two more OF the

ances it will result In strike all along
the line.
In This City.
The dispatches printed daily IN the
city press relative to the strike on the
Baltimore & OAio Railroad, have had the
effect TO turn the attention Of the people
to this city where so many roads
center, and the question is asked
almost hourly: "Is trouble appre-
hended herei Will the war ex-
tend to our place ?" and so on. To get
| at the bot tom facts and to see just what
the situation is, STAR representative
made few calls upon several promin.
eut railroad gentlemen this morning,
and the result OF his labors Is appended:
Captain W. w. Peabody, OF the
MARIETTA CINCINNATI RAILROAD,
was found at his office about 8 O'Clock
to-day. When tackled by the news
paper tend and questioned on the sub
ject, the Captain wheeled round In his
ptice chair, and with his large, keen
blue eyes fastened Upon the torn of the
timid Jayhawker, said: II wish to good
ness you. newspaper men would leave
| the city has squibs like this: No trouble
as yet on the n. Il c. Qliet all along
the line of the Marietta u Cincinnati as
YETI and so on. Why, sir, there il no
trouble OIL our road, and none is appre-
hended. Every thing is running along
| smoothly, and we expect to keep it SO.
Now, to-day l see in the G.zette and
Enquirer just such remarks as those;
AMI il there is any thing that
| will bring on strike where none was
at first intended, it is just that way OF
treating the matter. The employees
| will get 10 thinking that the public ex.
pect TO see them strike, aud in order not
| to disappoint them, they might conclude
to act as foolishly as their Virginia
| brethren. Ofc0urse, there IL some ex-
element among them in consequence
| Of the trouble at Martinsburg and other
places, but so far as contemplated up
rising mere ON our road is concerned, l
have not the least lear"
'Anything new this morning from the
seat OF war, Capta1n!
Yes. lnave dispatch from there to
the fleet that trains had started east
and vest from Martinsburg this morn
ing. And also the substance OF a tele-
gram from Gen. French TO The Baltimore
u Onio Railroad authorities, which says
That the military have decided to act in
the most energetic manner, and in fact
10 clean out the strikers if necessary"
s'Tnis business Of railroad strlkes,D
continued tho Captain, sis the most
foolish Thing In the world. The rail
road can staud 1t longer than the men,
and, of course, will triumph in the end.
1t gets to be very expensive luxury
70 the striker, and he is at last COM
PEELED to submit to the terms OF the
ROAD, terms which the management are
forced in the interests of their business
to present. Plenty OF m4n can be had
to take the place Of those who quit. II
have in my desk here, kilograms rom
twenty-five different parties Offering me
men, should need them, at my own
terms. There 10 no scarcity OF hands,"
"But you don't want themr
"Want them! Mol Everything, as l |
tell you, is all serene on the Marietta & |
Cincinnati, and we expect to keep IL
So"
Calls were made ut the offices OF the |
Ohio Il Mississippi, Dayton Short-liue. |
The Panhandle, and the other principal
roads, and in each place it was the Opin-
ion that the trouble would not reach |
here, and that the strong arm of the law |
would soon squelch it elsewhere.
