on duty at the Jail. Some one told Gov.
Hoadly early in the evening that the
trouble was, in a great degree, political.
and be concluded not to order troops to
move till he had investigated matters per-
sonally.
ALL QUIET BY DAY.
Everything was quiet in the valley this
morning at 10 O'Clock. There was no alI-
thentic report of damage to persons or
property last night. There was a rumor
this morning that 10 men had been killed
at Beuchtel, but it lacked confirmation
and it was thought that there was prob
ably nothing in the report. Telegraphic
communication was in good shape this
morning, and IL was learned that there
was continued firing early last night be-
tween the strikers and guards at Sandy
Run and LOngstreet. Gov. HOadlv
is furnished with special train by the
railroad company and is accompanied
by his private Secretary and a represen-
tative of the Associated Press. Gov.
Hoadly held consultation with leading
citizens Of Logan this morning, among
them being Judge Friesner, Col. Seth
Welby. the Sheriff and others. Waddy,
who was arrested and placed in Jail here
for participating in the riot of Saturday
night and for shooting VIM. O'Hara, one of
the guards, made a full confession this
morning. in which he gave the names of
five or six of the leaders Of the attack Of
Saturday night. Sheriff McCarty will not
make public the names of those named
until the suspected persons have been ar
rested.
THE SITUATION REVIEWED.
CINCINNATI, Sept. l. l P. M.-The stu
; alton in the. Hooking Valley is most dan
gerOus If the miners once organize for
offensive measures. Perhaps 10000 men
are idle, and have been so for months, be-
cause of the disagreement between them
and the mine owners about the price TO
be paid for mining. The owners have
adopted plan of employing
miners from elsewhere, Italians and
others, willing to accept lower rates,
and also of using machinery
where practicable. Thus these men in
idleness, with families dependent, see their
places to-day filled by foreigners, and the
last hope of employment at any price
cut off. The Introduction of 'blacklegs,"
as the men are called who work at lower
rates than the miners claim is just, has
been attended with some disturbance
The mine owners have been compelled to
hire guards to protect the men from vio-
lence, and ''blacklegs'' have been Yirtu-
ally imprisoned in the mines. There has
been talk that the miners would cOncen-
trate and drive the 'blacklegs" from the
mines. The work of Saturday night was
the first indication OF the carrying out of
such purpose.
SUNDAY MORNINGS ATTACK.
A fuller account of that disturbance
says that it eliminated at 80 o'clock
Sunday morning by an attack of armed
strikers, YariOusly estimated at from Is to
100, resulting in the instant killing of one
guard and the wOunding of two others.
1t is known that quite number of the at
tacking party were shot, but it is impOs-
sible to find out their number. Until re-
Gently Snake Hollow has been guarded by
30 PinkertOn guards, but few days ago
they were transferred to other points and
their places filled by guards from
Logan and that neighbOrhoOd, p in num-
Der, armed with breechloading shot guns
and brace of reYOlvers apiece. At the
time of the attack bat 7 guards were on
duty. They gave the alarm and opened
fire. The rest of the guards rallied, and
for ten minutes a continuous fire was kept
up. More than 1000 shots were eX-
changed, and the strikers were at last
driven back. William O'Hara, of Logan,
an old veteran of the late war, was doing
guard duty at the time. The strikers no
doubt knew his position, as he was taken
by surprise.
BRUTALLY SLAUGHTERED.
He was heard to say: "For Gods sake,
gentlemen, have mercy,r and was in
stantly hot dead, more than forty buck
shot entering his body and literally tear
ing away his shoulders. He was an in
dustrious man, much esteemed and we'll
known in Logan. He leaves a wife.
Jacob Lift, an eX-pOlice officer Of Logan,
was shot through the calf of the leg, but
not dangerously wounded.
Adam Bauer, German, and unmar-
ried, aged 25 years, was shot in the head
by buckshOt, receiving a scalp wound
which is not dangerous.
Barney DOnnelly and Albert Riggs
Just outside of the picket line.
The barn was surrounded by strikers
and all three captured. DOnnelly was
knocked down and badly beaten, but the
others escaped. DOnnelly said that there
were about seventy-five in the party, all
masked. Some had their faces blacked,
others had handkerchiefs tied over their
faces, and all were armed with shot guns,
pistols and rifles. He says that while
with them one was shot down and fell in
the arms of another and was carried of.
He thinks that several were badly wound
ed. From DOnnelly's statement it APP
pears that a second attack was to be
made. He says: "After being captured
L was taken out on the road a distance of
a quarter of a mile, where reinforcements
were expected. The man who appeared
to be the leader said Boys it's no use to
fight, our reinforcements have backed
OUT"
The operators say that the object of the
attack was to intimidate the new men
and run them off.
A dispatch from Gore, o., reports the
excitement in that region unabated, and
that there are rumors of more outbreaks
having occurred last night, of which no
particulars are obtained. Three non
union men went to work this morning,
but threats of violence against them are
growing more and more open. Gov.
Hoadley's movements are not definitely
known, except that he has LETT Logan, and
it is thought that he is making a personal
