ESPECIAL TELEGRAM TO THE DIsPATCHl
RrRcETrsTowN, April 19.-Considera-
BILE excitement prevails in the Murdocks-
willie field this week. Some time ago Mr..
lester representing the Raccoon Oil Com
pauv. leased the Robert Lyle farm, but,
failing to pay the rentals, Mr. Lyle was
about to release the lands to Mr.. Houk, of
Washington, Pa, when Jester came to him
and explained that the failure to pay was
an oversight, at the same time offering him
the money due.
Mr. Lyle told him he would not refuse
the money, but for him to wait few days.
In the meantime, he leased the land to
Houk. As soon as Jester learned of the
transaction he gathered so men, and, securing
Is teams loaded with rig lumber, tools,
etc, he started for Murdocksville from
ShannOpin, leaving the latter place
about o'clock yesterday morning. In
order to get there as quickly as possible and
without being seen, he sent number OF men
forward with axes to cut road through the
woods. They reached the place about2 o'clock
and began the erection of derrick at once.
They had been at work some time before Mr..
Lyle discovered them, and when he took in the
situation he telegraphed Houk at Washington
telling him to come on as Jester and his men
had taken possession of the farm.
Jester expected TO be arrested, so he had his
men scattered all round the place in order that
others could take their places if they were
taken. Houk, however, had not arrived up to
noon to-day and the men finished the derrick
last night and commenced Spudding to-day.
The people are looking ior lively times when
Houk arrives. Jester claims that as Lyle did
not refuse the money when he offered it, his
lease still held good.

MORE MINING TROUBLE.
Phillipsburg Operators Will Scale Down
Prices 10 Meet Competition.
ESPECIAL TELEGRAM TO THE DIsPATCH.l

ESPECIAL TELEGRAM TO THE DIsPATCH.l
PHmLIPsBURG, April l9.-Owing to a differ
ence of 10 cents a ton in favor of Punxsutaw-
ney, the Beech Creek region operators find
their orders slowly slipping from them. The
loss to them in the last two months has been
quite serious, so much so that they have been
compelled to ask their miners to work at the
same prices paid for digging coal at Punxsu-
tawney. The following circular was issued
yesterday, and has stirred up good deal of
feeling on the part of the men, who contend
that it would be better for the operators to try
to bring up the price at Punxsutawney, rather
than lower it here:
To the Representative Miners of the Philipsburg
Region:
Owing TO the lower prices now being paid in the
PunNsutawney and contiguous regions for mining
coal and all other labor connected with its pro-
ducuon. we, the undersigned operators of the
Phillipsburg region, are thereby placed at a great
disadvantage and are not able to compete in the
markets. We therefore ask you as a representa-
tive OF our miners, 10 whom we not able to
give sufficient work by reason of this discrimina-
uOn, to make the price of mining and other labor
the same as Is being paid in these competing re-
giOns
Already the men are fiocking into the organ
ization preparatory to devising means to pre-
vent the contemplated reduction-a reduction
which. If 1t goes into effect here, will bring
down the price in Houtzdale, Osceola, Cumber-
land, Nd, and in all other regions shipping
coal to the East The circular is signed by
nearly all of the operators shipping coal over
the Beech Creek Railroad, and by one or two
shipping over the Pennsylvania Railroad.

The esprit of the Valley" Refuses to
Support Malone Any Longer.

The Harrlsonburg Spirit of the
Valley, the most influential Repub-
lican paper of that section, refuses
to support Malone any longer.
This paper opposed his nomina-
tion, but after his nomination said
it would support him.
The reason for this change is FIX
Gov. Oamerons letter. The Spirit
says:
This letter not only proves what
we have stated above, but itshows
also that Gen. Malone, while thus
attacking ex-Gov. Cameron for his
connection with the Planters. and
Mechanics Bank of Petersburg,
had, by means Of a legal convey
ance or contract between himself
and his (Gen. Mahone's) sou pre-
vented the State of Virginia from
getting part of the money due her,
and this. too, when Gen. Malone
is himself repnted TO be very rich
in fact, to DC worth largely over a
million dollars.
This evidence of treachery and
of dishonesty is with us "the straw
which broke the camel's back" In
other words, while We have stood
many things, VIC cannot and will
not support for the highest office IN
this old Commonwealth a man who
is thus proved TO be such a dishon-
est and treacheIOus man.
But now. when we have the proof
before us hat he is both cowardly
and dishonest we feel that, think
ing as we do, it would lie crime
in us to advocate longer the placing
of such n man III the position held
by those pure men whom Virgin
ianS have generally chosen as their
Governors.

the proof of fraud by COTS follow
ers is overwhelming, and will nnan-
imously recommend that judge

port that Speaker Woods was dan

cans hoped to elect his successor,
is also canard. The Contest
