CRIMES AND CASUALTIES.
MINERS OUTBREAK.

WHEELING, W. Va, Jan. 10.-The Intelli-
gencer has the following special in regard to the
troubles in the Kanawha region: The particu-
lar cause of the present outbreak among the
miners along the Kanawha arises from the fact
that the owner of the mines at Hawks Rest
pays his miners 80 cents ton, while all other
operators are paying so cents. This, it is al
legged, enables the owners and operators of
Hawks Rest mine to undersell all other opera
tors, and in a measure compel them to cease
operations, whereby their miners are thrown
out of employment. To remedy this state of
affairs delegation of miners jumped on board
the morning G. & o. railroad train, and refus-
ing TO pay fare, rode as far as Hawks Rest,
and after consultation influenced q number of
miners to refuse to work for less than fifty-fve
cents per ton. The delegation also interfered
with all others who proposed to continue to
work at the old price of thirty eight cents.
The owner at Hawks Rest mines, being thus
INSTRUCTED in the legitimate prosecution of his
business, and Continued obstruction being
threatened, informed his excellency, the Gov
ernor, of this illegal and disorderly interior
ence with his business, and appealed for aid
and the enforcement of the laws in his
behalf. The sheriff of Fayette county
also notified the Governor that
the unlawful assembIage of persons now at
Hawks Rest, obstructing the owner in prose-
cutting work at their mines. The military have
accordingly been ordered to be in readiness to
proceed to Hawks Rest to protect those who
propose to continue work at such prices as they
may deem satisfactory to themselves. Unless
there be an adjustment of the difficulties this
evening, the military will doubtless march
upon the enemy's works tomorrow. The dis
satisfied miners feel themselves at liberty to
come and go upon any of the railroad trains,
and utterly lefuse to pay fare or give any heed
to the rules of the company. They ride to and
fro at will by hundreds. All is quiet along the
line this evening.
