A general strike of coal miners is
at present prevailing in the fourth
pool, Monongahela river, caused by a
proiiered reduction Of one.fourth cent
per bushel. The prices have always
been one.half cent less in that pool
than in the lower ones, and the miners
have been receiving three and half
cents, while four cents is the price
below. If the reduction had been
accepted most probably similar Of.
fer would be made to the other river
miners. There are twenty.six pits
on strike, with diggers to the mum
Der Of about fifteen hundred.
The river railroad is now n certain
fact. All arrangements for the money
to build it have been made. Work
will be commenced on the Wheeling
end at once, while the surveyors will
go upon this end ofthe road and make
a permanent location, and when they
are done, the attorney of the road
will be along procuring the rights OF
way through this county.
At Sheffield, Conn, on Saturday
last, a tremendous explosion occurred
INA Uauldge fuctuy. 'fiAthu report
was plainly heard at Hartford, eight
cen miles distant. The factory, which
employs a dozen operators, was blown
to atoms, and some OF the work men
probably fatally hurt.
For the information Of the Wheel.
ing Register and IntelLigencer, we would
say that J. A. Sayre was not elected
delegate from this county, but j.
o. Sayre was, and his address is not
Point Pleasant either but is Letart
Falls; that S. j. Timms was not elect
ed in Putnam county, but that L. J
Timms was, and his post office address
is Buffalo, not Winfield.
