CoLLINsvILLE, ILL.,, May 25.-The situa-
ton here is strained. Not mine on the
Vandalia railroad between East st. Louis
and Troy is in operation-all closed and
watched by the strikers. Mayor Stevens
last night ordered the saloons closed at s
o'clock, and swore in force of deputies, as
the drunkenness had increased among
miners. Eighteen or twenty shots were
fired about midnight in a spirit of deviltry.
at o'clock this morning 300 strikers as
sembled near the Abbey mines. IL
was ascertained that the men driven
off yesterday had not returned.
They then detailed fifty to remain
to see that no attempt was made to start
up. Two hundred started east on the rail-
road track. A picket was left at No. 3.
When Collinsville mine was reached they
were told no attempt at work would be
made to-day. They then started for Conf
dence and Troy mines. The conspicuous
feature of the procession was a half dozen
men carrying keg of beer on their Shout
ders. No work is going on at Defiance
mine, but the strikers were suspicious. Up
wards of one hundred stopped there, the
beer was tapped and a scene OF disorder en-
sued The Superintendent telegraphed the
deputy sheriff that his property was
surrounded by a mob and the case called
for assistance. 1t is believed the miners
were Joined by strong delegation OF
miners from the Ohio e. Mississippi road.
Those who did not remain at Confidence
pushed on TO Troy and surrounded the
Brookside mine, which is the last on the
Vandalia track. 1t was in operation yes
terday, but on the appearance Of the mob
this morning, the men struck. The Brook.
side superintendent also telegraphed, invok-
ing the aid of the law. The crisis will be
reached tonight.

A "Slick" Trick.

CLEVELAND, o., May 24.-The United
States express scompany's money carrier,
Alexander Granger, received sundIy
packages of money and other valuables
from the east-bound Lake Shore train at
the union depot this morning. and put
them in buggy standing outside. Some
body from the ice-room called him, and no
one being in sight, he stepped little
way from the vehicle to ascertain who
called. Returning he drove to the express
company's main office and there discovered
two bags similar to the company's
pouches but filled with brown paper, had
been substituted for two containing money.
1t is supposed that the robbery had been
carefully planned by experts and executed
at the moment Changers attention was d.
verified. The pouches are said to contain
$4,000, remittances from railway stations
to head quarters.
The auditor thinks the remittances were
in pouches and not over $4,000 in money
and IN ght not be more than 5000. No
clue yet.
