Governor Readlev On the Ground.

Governor aoadley On the Ground.
CHICAGO, Sept. IA Columbus
special says: Governor HOadly
arrived from Cincinnati at midnight
and ordered out the militia. Special
trains have been sent from this city
for troops in adjacent counties.
From the best information gathered
from operators, it is believed that the
worst of the situation In the Hook
ing Valley has not been reported.
The fact that communication is cut
off and that none of the troops can
get to the scene of the riot much
before daybreak leads to the belief
that there may be q great loss of life
and destruction of property before
morning. It is the general opinion
that all of the desperate work will be
done tonight and that after the
troops are there, there will be a sus-
pension of acts of violence
until they are removed. Then
they anticipate that the out
break will occur again as the opera
tors are determined to put in foreign
labor and use machinery. A large
number of Swedes were to be put
into the Longstreet tomorrow and
at this place the trouble is at the
worst stage. Tonight the Governor
and those around him look on the
trouble as one that will be put down
with great difficulty, owing to the
fact that the strikers will be orderly
As long a the troops are there and
break out again after they have been
withdrawn. There are Ill Pinkerton
men from Chicago on duty at various
points. They are all armed with six
teen shooting msskets and q large
amount of ammunition was sent
them tonight. Twenty-seven of
these men alone at l o'clock this
morning repelled q mob of several
hundred men.

Threatening Aspect Of Affairs


Coal CENTER, Pa, Sept. 1.-The
sheriff did not visit the miners
camp to-day, and in consequence the
strikers are still on the ground and
as determined as ever. The Neeles
mines were visited to-day and the Of
ficers OF the ground had quie t time.
A call was made at the Empire
works, but the non-unionists after a
peaceful consultation declined to
come out. The event of the day was
the arrival at Courtney of q number
of Hungarians for the purpose OF go
ing to work at the Garfield mine.
No Hungarians have heretofore been
employed in this district, and their
ADVENT at this time is regarded with
concern. A camp will be established
at Courtney tomorrow to prevent
them from going to work. Oper
atOrs say If the strike continues much
longer Hungarians will be intIo-
duced in all the mines.
LOGAN, Ohio, Sept. L. Every
thing is quiet in the valley this
morning. Telegraph commun ica-
ton is in good shape this morning.
1t is learned that continued firing
took place early tonight between
the guards and the Strikers at
Sand Run and Longstreet. 1t is not
known yet that any person is in
jured.
The Governor arrived here on a
special train early this morning and
is disposed to learn all he can about
the situation before ordering more
troops on the grounds. He is &C.
companied by his private secretary
and q reporter of the Associated Press.
The governor held a consultation
with the Sheriff and leading citizens
of Logan this morning. He says he
has formed no definite conclusion as
yet, from talks he has had, but will
make q circuit of the mines to-day
and try and e the leaders of beth
sides. He will be accompanied by
the Sheriff, Judge Frienser and
others.
Frank Woody, in jail here, arrested
for participating in the riot Saturday
night and for shooting VIM.
Hart, one of the guards, made
q full confession this morning,
which has given the names of i've or
six leaders in the attack of Saturday
night. Sheriff Mccarthy will fuI-
nish the names of those implicated rs
soon as the arrests can be made.
Woody is in Jail here and the pres
ence of the militia about the jail
seems to have had the effect to make
him weaken.

The School House at the Depot.

A petition was received last night
by the board of school trustees asking
for the erection of q new school house
near the depot. The residents in
that vicinity claim that there are
sixty children of the school age who
will attend if the house is built and
that the most of these children will be
prevented by the weather a great part
of the winter from attending unless
the request be granted. The trustees
have the matter under consideration
and will make their reply as soon as
possible.

The Sheriff calls for Troops.

COLUMBUS, August 3l.-The sher-
if of Picking county has just sent a
telegram asking for troops. The
Governor arrived at midnight and
the Columbus Battalion of the Four
tenth r -giment has been called to
headquarters and will leave on a
special train for the mining district
as soon as the train can be secured.
Continued firing is reported at Long,
streths and communication by tele-
graph with that point has been cut
off for tue past hour.
% Governor Hoadly's arrival at
his office at midnight, he received
the following:
LOGAN, Ohio, August 81.
To George HoadW, Governor:
All means in my power are en-
tirely exhausted to repress disorder
and to protect life and property. The
strikers are cutting all telegraph
wires. I am worn out; have been
going day and night for two months.
Please send militia Immediately and
save further blOOd-shed. The Jail is
threatened. J. F. MCCARTHY.
Sheriff of Hooking County.
The Governor at once ordered out
all of the Fourteenth regiment, the
Duffy and the Governors Guards, the
Ian caster, Circ]eville and New Lex
ington companies, and replied to
Sheriff McCarty that troops were
on the way and asking if more were
needed. The Lancaster company
being only twenty miles from Logan,
was sent to that place to guard the
Jail.
One of the leaders in the riot at
Snake Hollow last night, aud the one
believed to have killed O'Hara, was
arrested and brought to Jail at Logan.
The mob was coming in on the town
to release him. Special trains have
been put on the railroads at the guv-
ernor's disposal. Alta late hour last
night the wire was cut so that there
is no communication with points
below Logan except as carriers
reach southern points and send to
the city by circuitous routes. This
does not enable the authorities to
know what is going on till three or
four hours have elapsed, and it is
believed that the riot prevails since
midnight at certain places.
Bank bosses at New Straitsville re-
port that no men are to be found in
that town, and the women refuse to
tell their whereabouts. They are be-
lieved to be out in the riot according
to q general and precOncerted plan.
Advices are meagre and unsatisfac-
tory.
COLUMBUS, August 31.-At 1:30
Sheriff McCarty, of Hooking county
telegraphed from Logan that he
has five points In his county
where the riot is beyond control and
is unable to get at them so as to give
definite information as to what is
being done. The governor replied that
$50 troops were on the way and more
would be sent if necessary.

was blowing from the southwest, and
it was liable to sweep the town. At
s O'Clock another alarm was given
from q vacant shop on Front street,
belonging to w. J. Mccormick. The
first fire was nearly under control.
Two buildings were burned for Nc
Cormick and one for J. c. Sargent,
when the wind reversed and saved
