The coal miners at Barnards coal mines,
They have been working at the rate of s.
per hundred bushels, and at the last pay
day, which was Wednesday of this week,
they were notified by the bank owners that
on and after September 1st they would
only be abe to pay them 81 so. A meeting
OF the miners was called and the matter
thoroughly discussed, pro and con, and
they DE- cided not To accept the reduction.
Part of the miners wanted to continue
work during This month H. the old price
and part wanted 10 quit at once. A vote
vas taken, and those OF the latter opinion
having a majority, it was decided to 20 out
at once. The miners have been notified,

The convention is well over and all the
delegates and candidates have left town.
There are few disappointed individuals
who are inclined to grOwl a little at the
ticket, but il is generally conceded that it
is very strong. The Republicans are now
casting about hunting for available ma
terial for the positions. Some think that a
Bellare man should have the nomination
for Representative and Col. C. L. Poorman,
of the Tribune, is mentioned as a poSslo
ity. The strongest candidate at the pres
ent time however, is exSheriff Samuel
Hilles, of GAINESVILLE, and from present in
dications it would seem that Mr.. Hilles
would be nominated without much opPo-
sition. F. McCoweny of St. Clairsvltie,
probably has the inside track" in the
race for Clerk of the Courts, and his friends
say he will get the nomination easily.
d. II. Darrah, of this city, has been
spoken of as very suitable man for Audi
tor, but he positively declines TO be can
didate. The primaries to select delegates

Martins Ferry next Wednesday. a
monkey and parrot time is anticipated:
