TROUBLE AMONG THE MINERS IN THE
KANAwHA VALLEY.-The miners at
Cannelton last week struck for high
err wages and from their dcmonstra-
tions trouble was anticipated. Gov
ernor jackson was telegraphed TO or
der out the Kanawha Rifiemen and
another company to preserve the
peace. Sixty new men having been
put to work, the strikers forced them
to omit and threatened similar pro-
ceedings if the coal operators should
try to put other men to work. The
latest account indicates that there
will be a settlement of the matter
without any further show of hostili-
ties. Some of the miners who are en-
gagged in the strike are men of
education, and it is said they are OPP
posed to the manner Of resisting the
employment of other miners now be-
ing resorted to by some of the more
impetuons Of their ranks, and are
willing to leave the adjudication of
their affairs to the arbitramcnt of
joint committees. II the ideas of
these men are followed out, the neces
sity for troops" will be obviated,
If on the contrary, the interference
with the operations Of the mines is
persisted in by the strikers, the Gov
ernof viii afford every facility to in
sure the maintenance Of order and
protect the operators Of the mines in
their rights.

On Wednesday last, Cora, q little
daughter Of VIM. A. Thorn, died,
aged years and 5 months. Her
disease was lung trouble originat-
ing from whooping cough. Cora was
q bright little child and her early
death will be . sad affliction to her
doting parents.

typhoid fever, of Anthony Smith, Of
Pawpaw district, Marion county. Mr..
Smith was a son-in-law Of A. Nj. Ar
nett, of Arnettsville, and was per-
haps % years Of age, was a member
Of the NJ. f. Church, South, and was
of moral, upright and unblcmished
character. His death is u melan

may say "Our loss is his infinite

ISLANDER SUIrs.-Seyeral OF our
State exchanges are publishing &C
counts Of the Islander suits lately en-
tered here in which some of our prom
inent citizens are about to be engaged.
The following is what the Wheeling
Sunday Loaded says Of the matter
which is nearly correct: 1.-THE com
munity of Morgantown is torn up
over series Of libel and Islander suits
just entered, which Involve men, not
only Of local standing sbnt prominent
throughout thesState. : John ii. Hoff-
man, Esq, cashier Of the Second Ma
tional Bank, has instituted suit in
the Circuit Court against Hon.. Geo.
c. Sturgiss and ex-Judge X. L. Berk-
shire, alleging slander and claiming
$4,000 damages in each case. The
suit grows out Of a suit Of long stand
ing and a former suit against the
plaintiff, in which the present defend
ants were, counsel. Mr.. Hoffman is
quite prominent citizen, man of
wealth and one well advanced in
years. Mr.. Sturgiss was the repub-
lican candidate for Governor in the
last campaign, and Judge Berkshire
formerly was member of the SUI
prcme Court of the State. The suits
have a great interest for nearly every
person in the town.
Judge I. d. Huston, of Wheeling,
has been retained as senior counsel
in both cases for the plaintiff. Mr..
Keck has also been retained in the
cases. Some interesting and per-
haps sensational details are looked for
as the alleged SANDER consists Of
words used in public"
Our contemporary seems not to
have heard that j. K. Durr has also
instituted suit against Mr.. Sturgiss
for the same amount. This suit is
the result Of a charge against Mr..
DUR by the defendant of forging
letter.

Our readers will remember an ac-
count given some weeks ago Of an al
legged charge of incest made against
III. l.. Muncey, of Ravenswood. He
gave bail for his appearance at Ra-
venswood at the jackson Court
Since that time circumstances have
transpired which have shaken the
faith of the public in the truthful
ness of the charge; and his subsc-
quent release upon his own recogni-
zance would seem to indicate that
this incredulity has extended to the
Court. Last week the case was call
ed, Judge Fleming on the bench, and
for some reason was continued, and
Muncey was released on his own re-
cognizance. He proceeded to Ravens
wood to take the boat for Parkers-
burg. While there he was informed
that mob had been organized to
waylay him. He at once left on foot
andj had got as far as Judge
Browns or near there when the steam
er Hibernia came along; this was
about s o'clock, P. N. He hailed her
and the boat was about to land, when
the Captain was told by the leader
of tue mob, which had followed Mum
cey up, that if he landed it would be
at his peril. He hauled out again and
went on, leaving Munccy at the mer-
cy Of the mob, consisting Of eleven
men who were up on the bank-an
exhibition Of courage that is hardly
commendable. They commenced fir
ing at Muncey, and he returned tho
shots until his pistol was exhausted.
They then rushed down the bank,
overpowered. him, dragged him to the
woods, tied him to tree and admin
istered to him barbarous whipping.
His back, from his neck to his heels
was welted and blistcrcd in a cruel
manner, and the withes with which
it was done were used up to the stock.

A GREENE COUNTY LAD DRUGGED
AND ROBBED OF HIS MONEY Il CLOTHES.
"A young man named Edward Still
well, hailing from Carmichaels,
Greene county, came to Conncllsville
last Friday evening. Hewcnt to the
Yough House where lie registered
and left his satchel. During the
evening he imbibcd somewhat Of liq-
uor and in q semi-intoxicated cOndi-
ton was enticed into the sand house
Of the B. d o. shops by some un-
known william, stupefed with drug
gcd liquor, and robbed Of all he had.
The thief not only took his pocket
book containing fifteeBa dollars in
cash, but actually stripped the lad
Of his new suit of clothes, leaving
him stark naked in the sand.
At an early hour in the morning
young Stillwell came to his senses
and discovered his unenyiable pre-
dicament. The kindly Waterman
loaned him pair of oyeralls and a
coat with which to go to the Yough
House There he had an extra suit
of clothes in his satchel, aud having
washed and arrayed himself In these
he presented decidedly better APP
pearance. Stillwell has no recollec-
ton of the man who robbed him,
though he carries black eye which
is doubtless the result of blow from
that unknown rascal.
The young man is a son Of Ed
ward Stillwell, we'll known Greene
county tanner, reputed to be well en-
dowed with this worlds goods. The
father at one time worked at his
trade in Connellsville, and the lad is
nephew by marriage Of VIM. L.
Collins.
Detective Fee took the case in
hand, but thus far has not made
much Roadway, the lad being unable
to give him any clues. A man whose
name we failed to learn was arrested
on suspicion and lodged in the sta
ton house a few days since, but be-
ing unable to prove anything against
him, he was discharged.-Cou,ie
