And Encampsd Along the BOrdsr-fhs Story Told
by Citizens Of Logan COunty-A Peh-
ton Presented 10 Governor Wilson
Troops Desired.
s,,.r;oi T,leoram 10 he ReciSer.


CHARLESTON, W. Va, January 81
VIM. P. Floyd and J. A. Sheppard, Of
Logan county, arrived here this evening
for the purpose of presenting petition
and resolutions from the citizens of Logan
county. Mr.. Floyd was among the officers
who were fired upon on the 22d by Frank
Phillips and his Kentucky gang. His de-
scription of the battle is very interesting
and lively one. They report nothing new
since the last trouble. The citizens OF
Logan are very much disturbed and busi-
ness along the border is practically sus-
pended. One of the largest lumber
dealers on Tug river has abandoned the
business for the present; and these gentle
men predict financial ruin to the country
if the outragss are not absted.
The visitors say the latest information
from the border is to the effect that the
Kentucky people have been largely re.
cruited and now number over one hundred
and are camped along the river bank. 1t
is said they are backed up in their efforts
to invade Logan county and capture the
Hatfelds by the county officers Of Pike
county, and must have the moral support
of the Kentucky government, since their
outrages are so bold and numerous. They
are supplied with ammunition and pro-
visions from the county seat of Pike.
Mr.. Shipp, of Logan, who is here now,
says it is the unanimous wish Of the people
of Logan for both States to
PLACE TROOPS ON THE BORDER
and suppress the law-breaking tendencies
on both sides along the border, and when
the trouble is quelled, for each State to
quietly investigate the matter and ex-
change those who are wanted on either
side. These gentlemen claim that few per-
sons of this State, in fact, but one Or two
are needed in Kentucky to subserve the
ends of Justice, while at least twenty men
will be wanted for the killing of old man
Vance, Dempsey and others
The Governor is considering the papers
presented from Logan and will probably
take some action tomorrow. Governors
Wilson and Buckner have been in COM
lnunication, and it is likely there will be
consort of action between the two Cover
nors.
The Kanawha Rifemen promptly ten
dered ther services to the Governor to-day,
but the Governor said he thought it would
be unnecessary to send troops.

THE GREAT STORM.
Railroads Blockaded and Business Gen.
orally at Standstill.

NEW YORK, January N.-The storm of
night before last and yesterday was most
severe in the Mohawk Valley. The New
York Central abandoned all its trains on
the Hudson River division at six O'Clock
last night, on account of the snow block
ade. The wind, which blew at so miles
an hour, swept the light snow across the
tracks in such quantities, that resistance
to 1t was useless. The snow was no sooner
cleared by gangs of laborers that it covered
the tracks again. There were three pas
senger trains stalled in the snow between
Albany and New York, and fully score
OF freight trains. The company announces
that 1t will have the snow blockade raised
as soon as the high winds subsidies and it
expects to start the Chicago limited this
morning as usual at 9:45 o'clock and other
trains thereafter as usual.
At Plymouth the weather is the worst
ever known. Eighteen inches of snow fell
during she past "a hours and the thermo-
meter is SIX degrees below zero, with the
wind blOwiDga hurricane.
snow all trains on the Elmira, Corning and
Northern railroad at this point are aban.
doned to-day. The passenger train on
this road, due here at 3:27 yesterday after
noon, was stuck all night in a snow bank
and did not arrive until 7:30 this morn
ing.
Trains from the West are arriving at
Buffalo on time, but all trains from the
East are from IL to Is hours late.
A Binghampton dispatch says: All
trains on the Erie road are "laid out" at
poi4ts east and west Of this city. Only one
train has arrived from New York in thirty
hours, and there is small chance of another
getting through before tonight. The
snow has driited badly in all directions
and trains are either abandoned or running
wild" Three Delaware and Lackawan-
ma and west-bound through train were
showed mp at Kokomo Mountain, Pa, all
night, but managed to move at Z O'Clock
this morning.
At PittSfeld, Mass, FIVE long passenger
trains on the Boston and Albany road are
snow-bound, awaiting news of the opening
of the road before proceeding further.
A milk famine is threatened in New
York City. The milk trains over many
Of tho roads are buried in snow drifts
with the contents of the cars frozen solid.
