TROUBLE IN JERSEY CITY.

New JERSEY, July %.
The governor of New Jersey ha, ordered
the entire state militia under arms. This
has caused great excitement in Jersey City.
Large crowds assembled around the rail-
road depot, which was guarded by police.
About noon delegation of tiremen waited
on Superintendent Barker, stating that
they would not strike. All the employees
made similar statement, and the mana
gers of the road are assured there will be no
trouble in jersey City, unless melted by
outsiders. A large number Of idle men
from New York mingled with the crowd,
among whom we're great many New York
thieves, who scented plunder. Beyond the
congregation of crowds nothing unusual oc-
CURED until after o'clock, when two COM
panies of regulars landed at the ferry en-
route for Philadelphia. This caused
fresh crow to assemble, and when the
troops reached the freight depot sew
eral thousand people surrounded it.
The engineer who was to take the
train out was notified by an unknown
person that he would be shot If he went
out. This news circulated rapidly among
railroad men, and there was not an en-
gineer found who would consent to take
the train out. The reserves of the police
department were again called out and the
crowd forced back from the tracks which
were patrolled by the police. At twenty
minutes after five Humphrey McMichael
consented to take the train out and it left
without any demonstration. The crowds
at the street crossings dispersed. In few
minutes after, about six o'clock, force of
go sailors and marines from the Colorado
and Monongahela we're landed and sent on
to Philadelphia for duty in the navy yard.
There was scarcely any attention paid to
them, and the danger which hovered over
the city seemed averted. The governor
has issued proclamation commanding all
citizens to avoid breach of the peace and
directing civil and military authorities to
use the whole power of the state to main
tain the laws.
