OUR CORRESPONDENCE.
Mount Savage Letter.
MT. SAVAGE, July 10, 1877.

Mr.. Editor The coal mines are
about the same here as when | wrote
last, and there is not much sign Of i'm
provement. What will become of the
miners is hard to say; we have to live
in hope Of better times ahead. We
won't earn enough to buy -four at the
rate things are going on at present
here. But | think there are better
times to come.
Mr.. john Sheets, a young man,
working in the mines here, broke his
leg last Tuesday. He was running a
car down on the bottom of the plane;
it went faster than he thought, so he
jumped out as the car struck some full
ones that were in front; his foot slip
ped forward, and as the car rebounded
it struck him and broke the bone. He
was carried home where DR.. Thomp-
son set it right. 1t will be some time
before he will be able to go about.
1t is terribly warm weather for man
in full flesh to be in bed now.
All the machine shops which be-
long to the G. & ?. railroad was stop
ped last Tuesday, and all the employ
ees thereby thrown out of work.
When they will start again is so far
unknown. The cause, suppose, is
slack trade on the railroad The
stopping of these men is heavy blow
to Mt. Savage. About half of them
depend on these shops for a living.
There is a Pittsburg company build
ing a small furnace here to smelt this
old cinder pile over again for the iron
it contains, which think will pay.
If this one works We'll their calcula-
tlon is to raise three more and smelt
it as quickly as possible. 1t will help
this place considerably if these fur
naces work as the company expect.
Good luck to them, says yours,

The Baltimore and Ohio Rail
road TrouoIe-Impo
Demonstration.

The reduction Of ten per cent. in
the pay of all officers and employees
Of the Baltimore and OHIO railroad
who received over 81 day, determin-
ed upon by the board Of directors and
announced in a cicular by Mr.. John
W. Garrett, president, on Wednesday
of last week, went into effect Monday.
A number of engineers and tiremen
affected by the reduction left theft
places at Baltimore, but the vtcau
cies were speedily supplied. The m
tervention OF the old men, however,
prevented the new employees from
proceeding.
At Martinsburg, West Virginia,
the resistance to reduction was much
more decided and serious. The old
employees enjoyed the sympathy Of
the people, so much so that the citi-
zen soIdlery experimenting the issue,
declined finally to oppose them. This
was effected after slight collision in
which a man on each side was
wounded.
The governor of West Virginia,
yielding 10 the request OF the railroad
company, ordered several other mill
tary companies to the front. One
each from Wheeling and Mooreheld
obeyed, but on reaching the vicinity
of action declined to go further.
The railroad company, anxious to
have the blockade Of trains at Mar
tinsburg raised, finding the militia
either 1aitLless or insufficient for the
purpose, induced governor Matthews
TO call for the military aid Of the
United States, This the President
conceded on Wednesday night. Proc
Iamations ordering the lnsurrectiouists
to dIsperse OH or before twelve clock
noon, Thursday, were issued, and a
force OF go men under Gen. French
.ent to Martlnsburg.
At the hour named the proclama-
tons were read, without effect, it
would seem, as the ranks of the
sggrieved men were still filling with
such rapidity anu determination that
Gen. French photographed the presi-
dent for more troops.
This request was subsequently re-
called.
Considerable difficulty was expert
enced by the company officials III man
ning the trans, Dut at 23o p. m,
thursday, freight train bound west
ward was moved out under protection
OF the regulars.
The last accounts up to yesterday
morning indicated the trouble as not
over, and the aggrIeved men say they
will maintain their antagonism IN one
way or another until they carry their
point.
LATER.
At one o'clock yesterday it was re-
ported that the engineer of the train
referred to above, was taken from the
train at Keyser by about three hun
dred strikers. The feeling against
him was so great that he Was sent
back to Martlnsburg imprisoned In a
U. S. mail car to secure his safety.
1t is also reported that all the men
on the B. q o. r. R. connections east
Of St. Louis have quit work and joined
movement started at Baltimore and
Martinsburg.
The statement in circulation yester-
day that the Pennsylvania railroad
men had struck is doubtless incorrect.
STILL LATER.
Three trains arrived from the east
at Cumberland yesterday at one
o'clock p. NJ, the first guarded by U.
5. troops, and proceeded to Keyser.
The other two, being unguarded, were
stopped by canal and other idle men
at Cumberland. Great excitement
but no one hurt.
