TWO TRAINS MOVE AT LAST.
MARTINsBURG, July 1850 p. m.
A coal train east left at 3:14. AS it
moved off several strikers occupied the hill
alongside the track which was covered with
rocks. The military presented arms and
there was no demonstration. An engine
with train of house cars is just moving
out and all is quiet. Each train took de-
tachment of 10 men. 1t is thought the de-
parture of these trains will break the back
of the strike. Warrants have been issued
for the arrest of ten of the ringleaders.
PLUoKY FIREMAN.
Before the eastern bound train reached
the city limits the fireman deserted and the
train remained stationary until 4:42, whex
it moved off with Geo. Zepp as fireman.
He walked up the track with navy revol-
yer in his hand, followed by his mother who
tried to dissuade him from going Some of
the friends of the strikers ran towards him
to prevent him from gong when he waved
the pistol over bis head and marched boldly
to the engine and took his place. The
train then moved off. No other trains will
be started to-day. Richard zepp, chief of
the strikers, was arrested and jailed.
THE REs1sTENoR ENDED.
The west bound train passed st. Johns
run all right, and no further trouble is an
ticipated. There are now here 70 locomo-
tives, nearly all of which have their fires
banked ready to start after a few minutes
notice. The streets are nearly deserted and
most of the military have gone to their
quarters. No trouble is expected tonight.
1t is probable that by noon tomorrow will
be found plenty of men to move all trains.
The arrest OF the ringleader and the start
ing of two trains has precluded the proba-
bility of further trouble.
| A COMPROMISE PROBABLE.

Zeph, the ringleader of the strikers, ha!
been released on bail. AT Grafton the
strikers held two meetings. A resolution

to stand together and promising plan fol
compromise. A committee was appointed
