NASHVILLE, Tenn, June 13.-Rev.
Sam Jones, the noted evangelist, con-
cluded q successful series of meetings
here last night. Among other things,
in his closing sermon, he said, touching

all. a fellow may say. 1 would die for
the principles of my party then he
would not know principle if he were
to meet it on the road. If old Temmany
was to go to hell in body and knock
at the door, the devil would only let
them in one at time. If he were to
let them in all at once, they would
knock him in the head. elect their own
devil, and run things to suit them

scene of the recent troubles Three hun
dred convicts were on the train and will be
put to work in the mines again.

The stockades have been rebuilt and en-
larged and the miners will have serious
opposition in reaching them if hostilities
are renewed. Generals Carnes and Nor
man are empowered to make draft ON
the state for volunteers in case serious
trouble is expected. The opinion over the
state is that when the miners find what
has been done they will arm themselves
and sweep the handful of soldiers off the
earth.
