There is trouble among the miners OF the
Hooking Valley, Ohio. about wages. Those al
| Snake Hollow made an attack on the guards
on Sunday morning. One guard was killed
and two wounded. Sheriff Mccarthy. Of
Athens county. telegraphed for troops.
The government at once ordered out all Of
the Fourteenth regiment the Duffy and the
Governors guards, the Lancaster. Circleville
and Lexington companies and replied to
Sheriff Mccarthy that troops were on the way
and asking II more were needed. The Lam.
| caster company, only twelve miles from
| Logan, was sent to that place to guard the
Jail. One of the leaders of the riot at Snake
| Hollow, believed to have been the one who
Killed O'Hara, was arrested and taken to jail
at Logan. The mob was coming to relieve
him. Special trains were put on the railroads
at the governors disposal.
The sheriff, who had gone to Coal Center,
Pa, did not call at the miners camp on the
LIST, and in consequence the strikers are still
on the ground and determined as ever. Ncers
mines were not visited and the officers
on the ground had quiet time. call was
made at the Empire works, but non-uniOnists,
after q peaceful consultation, declined to
come out. The event of the day was the ar
rival at Courtney OF number OF Hungarians
for the purpose of going to work at the Gar
field mines No Hungarians have heretofore
been employed in this district, and their ad-
vent at this time is regarded with concern. A
camp was established ut Courtney to prevent
them from going to work. Operators say that
IL the strike continues much longer Hun
garians will be introduced in all the mines.
Governor Ho>dly and others have been
making an inspection of the mining situation
in the Hooking valley. The governor states
that the situation is perplexing one, and is
of threatening character. He thinks with
the men IN their present temper 1t will be
some time before the struggle is over, unless
the operators SHOULD determine to make some
concessions. He made personal visit to the
mines with the hope the situation would prove
to be such there would be no necessity of
sending troops. In this, however, he was dis
appointed. He therefore honored the requisi-
ton of the sheriff for troops, and sent three
companies to the most critical points. On the
way to Columbus the governor had Il request
for two more companies at Longstreet, two at
Murray City and two to guard the property
of the Hooking Valley road and its bridges in
the valley. He refused to send more troops,
but ordered several companies to be in readi-
ness to 20 to the front should they be needed.
Dat the two latter places i was feared an at
left Logan for a trip to the mines he tele-
graphed to all points he wished to consult the
leading miners, and at some places on the ar
rival of the train there were as many as 500
idle miners who had gathered to see and hear
what he had to say. At Nelsonville the DEM
onstration was of massive character, there
being between six and seven hundred present,
who had carriages and band to escort the
governor to the public square for the purpose
of making speech. They had appointed
committee earlier in the day to ask a
number of questions as the governor
progressed and they made it quite in
teresting. The appeal of the governor
was for the observance of order and the i'm
portance of their doing their part in this re-
gard. 1t was at this point that he ordered
troops to points named and the miners were
not very well pleased over This move, as they
had supposed the governor would not make
such an order unless he was forced to do so.
In reply to the demands of the sheriff for
used only for the purpose of protecting life
and property. This is thought to Indicate
that they will not be allowed to remain as
mere guards for coal and railroad companies.
