TROUBLE PROBABLE.
PITTsBURG,A Aug. 16.-The miners strike
in the fourth pool assumed a serious
aspect to-day and grave fears are enter
tanned OF an outbreak. The failure of
Neels' men TO come out Of the mines this
morning as promised had a depressing
effect upon the strikers, and the rumor
that Deputy Sheriff Mcclure, who ha
been guarding Neels' property, was using
his official character to pursuade the
miners to stay at work, excited them
almost beyond the control of their lead
ers. Threats were made against Mcclure,
and it was with the greatest difficulty
that President Costello prevented them
from going to the mine and mobbing the
supposed offender. They made no effort
to conceal their bitter feeling, and some
assert that their intention now is to first
request the working miners to join them
and if they refuse to resort to more effec-
tive measures, but what these measures
will be they refuse to say.
CASES OF INTIMIDATION.
Several cases of intimidation were re-
ported to-day by men on their way to
work. One of the miners SAYS that he
was surrounded by 20 men who threat
ened to do him bodily harm if he went to
work. Citizens are complaining that the
strikers demand food and accompany the
demands with threats of what they will
do if food is not secured. If their de-
mands and threats are continued they
say that the strikers will have to abide
by the consequences. Tonight Deputy
Mcclure made an information against
six of the strikers, charging them with
conspiracy and assault. Arrests will be
made at once, and trouble is expected.
A special dispatch from Coal Centre Pal
says that Officers Mcclure, Reilly, Shat
fer, Pressly and Forsyth went to a camp
tonight and arrested Joseph DoWler and
Benjamin Warren, the only persons who
could be identified as having been con-
cerned in the intimidation. They were tax
en- to town and released on $500 bail each.
The miners have telegraphed to the
lower pools for reinfOrcements, and by
Monday 500 are expected. There is great
excitement, but no demonstration. A
warrant has also been issued for the ar
rest of miners by President Costello.
