THE MINERS PROTEST
Against the Presence OF Armed Men at
Raymond City.

Raymond City.
The following protest against the
presence of armed men from the State
of Ohio, at the Marmet mines, at Ray
mond City, is being circulated and ex-
tentively signed:
WHEREAS, An armed mob, composed
of seventy-two men, heavily armed both
with side arms and Winchesters, and
said to belong to the First Regiment OF
Ohio State troops, was, on Sunday, the
18th day Of September, 1891, imported
into this State from Cincinnati, Ohio,
and quartered on the people of West
Virginia, at Raymond City, and under
the pretext of protecting private prop
erty and preserving law and order,
caused themselves to be sworn in as
special constables, and as such, con-
SENATORS Of the peace, when in truth
and in fact the sole object OF the i'm
porters of this armed mob, under the
management OF one George w. Guysi,
was to overawe the laboring men and
miners In this country, and to incite to
riot an indignant people.
Now, we, the undersigned, citizens OF
the State of West Virginia, represent
and proclaim to all mankind that there
has been no breach of the peace, no vio-
lation of law, no threats, no disturbance
of any kind on the part OF the Raymond
City miners, no destruction OF or injury
to person or property.
That the Sheriff of Putnam has had
no trouble to keep the peace. be has
not had to call out any posse conudtdttS,
nor has he called on the Governor OF
West Virginia, or Of Ohio, either, for
troops. We view with indignation and
alarm, as a menace to liberty and to
law, the presence in our State OF troops
from another State, even acting as non
resident special constaoles. We pro-
test against their presence, and we
hereby call upon the Governor of West
Virginia to order these men, with their
Winchesters, out of West Virginia, and
let West Virginia's own soldiers be
placed on duty if the miners are to be
patrolled and halted at their own homes
and upon their own door-Steps, for the
protection and the pleasure Of this Ohio
corporation, The Marment Mining Com
many.

WAGE TROUBLE.
TIE ROUGHERS AT TRB STANDARD MILL 60
OUT ON A STRIKE.
the Eina Mill Also Afsctsd-Ths Men Make q
Demand From the Rollers Which is
Refused.

Yesterday morning the roughers en-
ployed at the Standard mill in Bridge
port refused to work on account of a
difficulty with the rollers in regard to
wages. Several roughers employed at
the Etna mill are also involved in the
strike. About one hundred and fifty
men are idle in consequence of the re-
fusal of the roughers to work.
The roughers demand pay Of so cents
per day extra from the rollers for run
ming the screw on chill rolls. 1t has not
been the custom heretofore to pay this
extra sum in this vicinity, although 1t
is understood that it prevails in other
mills throughout the county. At the
last convention of the Amalgamated
Association of Iron and Steel Workers,
held in Pittsburg last June, the matter
was brought up for consideration, and q
clause was inserted in the wage sale
providing for the payment Of so cents
per day extra to the roughers, for per-
forming the work mentioned.
1t is understood that since the new
scale went into effect the roughers have
several times demanded the advance,
and the rollers have refused to make the
concession. Yesterday morning matters
were brought to crisis, when the
roughers refused to work, unless the
rollers complied with the provisions Of
the scale. The Standard mill is idle in
consequence. No other mill In this vi
cinity, with the exception Of portion
of the Etna, is affected by the strike.
President VIM. Weihe was yesterday
apprlsed of the situation, and he tele-
graphed that he will be down tomorrow
and investigate the matter. 1t is proba-
Bile that both sides will abide by Presi-
dent Weihe's decision, and the difficulty
will be adjusted without any further
trouble.

B, & o. in Chicago.

The Baltimore 81 Ohio has been noti-
fed by the authorities of Chicago to re-
move it's tracks, passenger depot and
express stations off the property at the
lake front. This action was not unex-
pected by the B. g. o., as an order to
this effect had passed the city council
some time ago. The officials of the
road say the removal of their tracks
and stations cannot be made In five
days, the time specified in the order Of
removal, and they will therefore petit
ton for an extension of the time. 1t is
said contract has been agreed upon
whereby the B. & o. will enter Chicago
over the tracks Of the Northern Pacific
railroad.

WANT MORE LAND.
The Pewlxy Officials DESTROYS of Another
Track Near the Depot.

Track Near the Depot
There was a gathering OF the Council
Committees on Railroads, Wharves,
and Streets, Alleys and Grades,
yesterday afternoon at half past
three o'clock, at the wharf at the
foot Of Twelfth street, at the
Pewiky, in order that a plan
might be submitted showing the
amount OF land the railroad is DESTROYS
Of securing. Vice President Mcclure
was present, as was also Mr.. Speidel,
representing the railroad. The Council
members present were Myers, O'Kane,
Caldwell, Robertson, Happy, Irwin, Far
rel, Caddle and Campbell. Whsrfmaster
Booth was also on the scene, together
with quite a number Of river men who
were opposed 20 the granting or any
more land from the wharf.
The railroad company, it will be re-
membered, asked a short time ago for
strip Of land, thirty feet west Of the
present tracks, and running from
Twelfth street TO a point just beyond
the depot. This petition was not favor
bly, acted upon. The company now
asks that they be granted a strip OF
land from a point nearly opposite the
private alley north Of Hotel Windsor
TO a point Just above the depot. The
proposed new tracks mergeS with the
main tracks opposite the alley, but as
The main tracks is in curved
position, IL will extend about twenty
I'VE out from the main track, opposite
the centre OF the depot. The railroad
officials claim that additional room is
very necessary, for with only one track
10 front OF the depot, the constantly in
creaSlng business cannot be systematic
ally operated. They only ask enough
land TO build one additional track, in
order 10 accommodate trains in the Vi
entity Of the depot. The river men
claim that even this strip taken from
Ine wharf will seriously interfere with
Traffic, and that on q 25-fOot stage OF
water, the boats will all have 70 land
nearly opposite Twelfth street. The
railroad company, on condition the land
IS granted, proposes 10 put up a retain
ing wall on the west side OF the addl-
uonal track, and also to build a brick
roadway alongside the wall for the &C
cOmmOdatiOn Of river traffic.
The Council members present care
illly considered both sides, and went
over all the ground such as is petitioned
Tor, and after an hour on the scene ad-
!Ourned, to meet at the call OF the chair
"en OF the respective committees.

THE PROPOSED IMPROVEMENT
To the Pumping Department Of the water
Works-Cause of the Delay.

To the Pumping Department of the Water
Works-Cause of the Delay.
So far, nothing has been done by the
CITY Finance Committee in the matter
of the report of the joint meeting OF the
Committee on Water Works and the
Water Board, looking to the purchase
of new pumps and the enlargement OF
the pumping station, and until action Is
had by the Committees and a favorable
report is concurred in by Council, the
hands of the Water Board are tied.
The Board and Committee, 1t VIII De re-
membered, asked that this action OF the
Board be endorsed, and that the city re-
lIeve the water department OF the
charge of paying interest on
city bonds for the term OF six
wears, commencing next year.
this went to the Finance Committee,
because the interest OF the loan OF 1885
Is guaranteed by the revenue OF the
Water and Gas Board, and the question
arose as to whether it was within the
mower of the city to relieve the water
department of the charge under TINS
situation. In the opinion OF many the
water department must pay the interest,
and the only way would be for the city
To hand over to the Board annually
enough cash to offset the interest ex-
nenditure. These are the questions which
The finance committee is to pass upon
and upon which the Water Board Is
waiting.
The published statement that the
hoard is receiving bids and would have
the pump up in a ''few months" is I'M
true. Members OF the Board agree it
will take nearly or quite year to com
plete the work If it was commenced at
once. and this fact has been published
repeatedly in city newspapers.

ance."
