SYMPATHY WITH THE STRIKERS.
The Citizens of cumberland Raising a
Relief Fund for the strikers.
[Chicago Times,1

BALTIMORE, July 2O.-At Cumberland a
meeting of unemployed workingmen was
held, at which about two hundred persons
were present. The proceedings were quiet
and orderly. John d. Jones made an inffam-
matory speech, which was received with but
little favor by his auditors. B. O'Donnell
followed in a somewhat similar strain, but
closed by saying that he believed the great
heart OF the people of Cumberland was in the
right place, and if they were properly ap-
preached would do all in their power and Ger
fanny all that could be expected for the relief
Oh tne men who were out Of employment from
no Iault OF their own. He was warmly ap-
plauded. >. A. Cox then addressed the as
semblage, stating that the relief committee
were doing what they proposed to do. His
remarks were received with satisfaction, and
the meeting adjourned. A committee of two
TO- from each ward was appointed to ascertain
the names OF persons in distress and make
collections OF money, etc. The committee on
collections reported money and provisions
subscribed to the amount of about $lO7. This
fundis for the temporary relief of the Suffering
poor, and efforts will be made to largely in,
crease it, but unless work can be provided for
those out OF employment it is feared that the
rellef fund will not be sufficient to last anv

kEYsER, w. Va, July 90. D. m.-There
has been up to this hour no decided change in
the condition along the line from Martinsburg
to Grafton. Of the western bound trains that
left Martinsburg only one has reached Key
ser The trainmen on this train had to be
protected by the regulars. They met with a
very warm reception from the strikers and
Ihe strikers claim the troops cannot keep
trains running over the third division be-
Tween keyser and Grafton. Zeph, the ring
leader arrested at Martinsburg, has made his
boasts that as soon as the troops leave those
places the strike will break out afresh.
IL seems to be the opinion among great
many that the men who started with the
trains west were more or less disaffected. and
Their Willingness to go to work is assumed to
iu III .si ,t ne plans of the rioters.
Tonight the excitement at Keyser is in
tense. and the strikers swear no trains shall
pass, and that they will resist the militia if
necessary.
They make no concealment nor hesitate in
ctalming that 1900 miners in the Georges

The Canal Men Assisting the strikers.
TChioago Tines

MARTrNsBURG, July 2O-It was disappoint-
ing to find at Sir Johns run only good hui
mored crowd OF Charters. The sensation of o
captured train was exploded. Some of the
canal men had pulled out coupling pin here
and there, but they had been replaced with
out any trouble, 50 that the train. had gone
on. As the special train came in about fifty
of the. canal men crowded about it. They
were the toughest class of men that had yet
been seen. They were all stout and as healthy
a crowd of dirty independence as one would
care to see. Over upon the hills overlooking
the small station were several hundred
canal men recliningNin, all sorts Of attitudes
and with a certain degree of picturesque
ness. This station is where the passengers
leave the railroad to take the stage for Berk
ley Springs. Only a fewhouses cluster about
the station. They are all occupied by canal
people. The interest of the canal strikers in
encouraging the Baltimore and Ohio firemen
was to keep up the strike there SO as to make
1t to the interest Of the canal company doing q
rival business to turn them back. These men
were very impudent. At the stopping of the
train they openly made deriding remarks.
Said one burly barefooted canaler to Sharpe,
master OF transportation, - You look like a
thief, you do" Other cheerful remarks of
this sort were passed.

BALTIMORE, July 20.--A collision with the
troops at keyser Is feared. No damage has
been done to the companys property 50 far
where, shows how desperate they are becom-
ing, and the effect of such incendiary notices
on che already infiamed minds of the strikers
can hardy be 0ver-estimated. The railroad
company will and have called for more State
and United States troops, and will fight the
rioters. with renewed energy and strength.
The following is the proclamation referred
to above:
Bread! Strike and liye-remain and perish.
BE It understood that If the Baltimore and
Ohio Railroad Company does not meet the
demands OF the employees at an early date,
the officials will hazard their lives and en-
danger their property. For we shall run
their trains and locomotives into the river;
we shall blow up their bridges we shall tear
up their railroads. we shall consume their
shops with fire, and ravage the hotels with
aesp p ia Hone company which t has from

we have lost all sympathy, and have humbled
ourselves from time to time to the unjust de-

heaven, what more do they want? Our
blood. they can get it. Our lives, we are
willing to sacrifice them-not for them,
out your armed hordes, if you want them to
shield yourselves. Ii you can but remember
that no foe, however death-telling can repel
for a moment our determination, both may
ensue; but let it come. They may think or
call us weak, but we are not weak. Fifteen
hundred noble miners, who have been in
suited and put upon by this self-same com
pany, are at our backs. Besides, sirs, the
merchants and all communities at large along
the whole line Of road are on our side: and
more, the working class of every State in the
Union are in our favor, and we feel confident
earth are with u.s. Therefore let the ciashing
of arms be heard; lot the fiery elements be
poured il they think it well. But in view of
our rights and in defense of our families we
shall conquer or we shall die. By order Of
