[SECoND DISPATCH.I
ST. LOUIS, May 2Sth.-After completing
their work in Roseviiie, and leaving guard
there to see that their mandate was carried
out, the women marched TO Eikeke's mine,
No. 1, three miles from Belleville, on the
Louisville and Nashville Railroad, and being
reinforced by large number of strikers,
drove out the men working there. II is re.
ported that they tore up the railroad switch,
and threatened to burn the surface works of
the mine, but of this nothing definite is
known. The mob at this point is said to be
increasing rapidly, and now numbers several
hundred, including about 100 women,
who are the most unmanageable of the
crowd, and are beyond control. The
Sheriff has telegraphed Governor Hamilton
for military aid, and it is understood here
that some of the militia at East St.. Louis
will be sent out as scon as a special train can
be made up. It is not known at this writing
thai any actual violence was done by the
women or the large body of msn who stood
behind, but it is known that work in the
mine was stopped, and some very ugly threats
made regarding the consequences of en- at
tempt to resume. At Marissa, some fifteen
miles beyond Believille, crowd Of miners
appeared iu the morning and demanded thst
work should cease. Deputy Sheriff Rsgland,
who was present with civil poshe, told them
that any Interference on their part with the
working Of the mine would simply result in
bringing out military force, who would
arrest Hll distuTbers aud advised them to re.
tire. This thsy considered good advice, and
withdrew. The Lovin mine is in peaceable
possession OF the men who were working it.
