-Sullen Feeling of the Miners.
COLUMBUS, Sept. LA telegram from Logan
says: Everything is quiet in the valley, this
morning, and there is no authentic report of
damage to person or property last night There
was rumor this morning that fifteen men had
been killed at Buchtel, but it lacks confirmation,
and probably there is nothing in the report.
Telegraph communication is in good shape this
morning, and it is learned that there was con
tinued firing, early last night between the strik-
ers and guards at Sand Run and Langstreth; it
is not known yet whether any person was in
jured. The Governor arrived here on special
train early this morning and is disposed to learn
all he can about the situation before ordering
more troops forward. He has been furnished
special train by the railroad and by
his private secretary, Daniel McConville; Walter
Crafts, of the Hooking company; Frank Mer-
rick. attorney for the latter company and rep
resentatiye of the Associated Press Gov
Hoadly held consultation with leading citizens
OF Logan this morning among them Judge
Friesner, Col. Seth Weldy the sheriff, and Others
He says he has formed no definite conclusion as
yet from the talks he had, but will make cir
cult OF the mines to-day and try and see the
leaders of both sides He will be accompanied
by the sheriff, Judge Fresner, and others.
Frank Woody is in Jail at Logan. He was
arrested for participating in the riot on Satur-
day night, and for shooting VIM Hare, one of
the guards. He made full confession this
morning, in which he gave the names of five or
six leaders in the attack of Saturday night

those implicated as soon as arrests can be made
The presence Of the militia about the Jail seems
to have had the effect to make Woody weaken.
dispatch from New Straitsville says: Judge
Friesner, of Logan, who is in consultation with
Governor Hoadly thinks the worst of the trouble
in the valley is over The Governor says that
Friesner is charged with great deal of respon-
sibiity, and he considers his opinion of consid-
cradle force. The Governor left Logan at $50
for trip to the principal mining towns, accom-
panied by Sheriff Mccarthy and others Before
leaving he telegraphed to all points that he
wanted to meet the prominent miners and hear
their side of the story. At all stations large
numbers of miners were out to meet the train
and at this place about 500 had congregated
The greatest interest prevailed, and the Gov
ernor began holding private consultations with
representative miners. The president of this
district and others who were questioned,
deny stoutly that there is any necessity for
militia at this point and claim to know nothing
about the burning of the hopper at mine No.
z, a short distance from here They have
theory that the guards became dissatisfied with
the wages they were getting and set fire to the
hopper themselves. The Governor tells them
he does not want to be forced to order the mill
tary on the ground. andis exacting promises that
the miners will do all in their power to aid the
civil authorities. If he should conclude, how
ever, that military are needed anywhere he
will give the marching orders at once. Three
cheers were proposed for the Governor, but the
response was very weak and without enthusiasm.
Some of the miners are very glum and say this
trip is only political scheme Several miners
who were interviewed say there is no politics in
the situation, and that the topic is scarcely men
toned in the valley. The Governor expects to
visit other points, and to reach Columbus by
evening"
ment in that region is unabated There are
rumors of more outbreaks last night, of which
no particulars are obtainable Three non-union
miners are at work this morning, but the
threats of violence against them are growing
more and more open. Governor Hoadlys move
ments are not de6nitly known, except that he
has left Logan, and it is thought ke is making a
personal appeal to the strikers
The miners in the Ohio Central region, along
Sunday Greek, went out to-day on pretext of not
getting the September advance. They are ex
pected to join the Hooking Valley strikers. the
mines being adjacent.
