trict is still an event OF the future. It was
reported yesterday In Oollinsville, ILL.,, that
the miners In that district had quit work,
but It was afterwards learned that this was
untrue. The miners OF that district
met last night, together with the
employees OF the zinc works and the pressed
brick works, and formed thorough organ
ization. Nothing was done pointing In the
direction Of strike, neither is there any
immediate danger Of the men In the Belle
i vile district going out. A meeting Of
miners was held near West Belleville, on
Sunday, at which 1t was resolved not to
suspend operations at present. They are
/ disposed to continue work until May list,
and await the result OF the district conven-
ton to be held at Springfield on that day.
| Coal was got as usual at a number of
mines In the vicinity Of Belleville, but some
mines were compelled to suspend opera
| lions temporarily, owing to the absence OF
railroad facilities for getting their output
| to market. Representative Knights Of
Labor from stannton visited Edwardsville
on Saturday for the purpose OF inducing
miners to strike, but the men, who have
/ regular work there are satisfied with their
| present prices and did not yield.

East st. Louis to-day remains about I'M
changed from that on previous days since
the arrival of the military, with the ex-
ceptiun that the various roads are in
better shape.to do business and are doing
more. The switch engines in the various

CUNNING FOR ONE OF THE DEPUTIES.
CHICAGO, April IA special dispatch
from Chattanooga, Tenn, says that the
local assembly of the Knights of Labor
has received directions from the executive
board to hunt up the record of Thomas
Hewlett, one of the deputies who fired
into the strikers at East 81. Louis last
week. The knights, it is said, claim
that he was the ringleader and they
are making an effort to prosecute
him. Hewlett was at one time United
States deputy marshal in north Alabama
and while in that position killed negro
at Huntsville. He was arrested but was
acquitted. He was afterward chief detec-
tive on the Alabama Great Southern rail
way and succeeded in hunting down a
notorious train wrecker who was lynched
and his body riddled with bullets. Hew-
lett is charged with leading the mob.
Evidence in both of these affairs is being
accumulated to be forwarded to st. Louis.
