most tranquility prevailed throughout
the coke region to-day. The strikers
generally spent the time in discussing
the situation. Monday is usually the
day for raiding, but there are no serious
apprehensions in that line. The bringing
of the state militia to the district has
certainly restored quiet. The five
companies quartered in passenger cars
here Oh the Pennsylvania railroad
tracks spent the day in singing. talking
and sightseeing. They are expected to
leave for Mount Pleasant tomorrow
