this CITY because it is the base Of supple:

State to another.
This is to explain why most dispatc hes
come from this city, which is not near the
scene of any Of the disturbances.
The scenes in Knoxville as depicted 70
the Times of this city must have been full
of excitement and eecalled memories OF the
exciting days of '6l.
The hardware stores threw open their
doors to the citizens who were going to the
front, the millionaire trod with firm step
alongside the molder and the bank presi-
dent beside his book-keeper.
The train which left here at 3 80 for Coal
Creek carried 526 armed men. Of whom ll5
were volunteers from Chattanooga, ana
the remainder members Of three military
companies and a battery Of the First and
Second regiments.
General Carnes, in charge Of the party,
and who will be the commander-lD-chlef
on the field, says he will arrest every
miner whom he can lay his hands on when
he gets TO Coal Greek, where be should oe

not obstructed and the train gets through

The men with General Carnes are in

Oliver Springs surrender.
A special to the Times from the scene OF
war, filed at 10 p. m, says:
A reporter who was under arrest by the
miners since night before last, and just es-
capped, saws the fighting began at 3 o'clock.
and continued without cessation until
o'clock.
During the fight two or three Of the lead
ers Of the miners were captured by zen,
eral Anderson's troops. a truce was raised
and the miners told Anderson II he would
surrender their leader they would allow
him to return to his fort.
He took the men and went down among
the mob When out of range of the guns
he was captured and not allowed to re-
turn.
The leader of the mob is the notorious
Bud Lindsay, brother OF the United
States Attorney for that district, who has
killed eight or ten men in his time. LIND,
say put pistol TO Anderson's head and
told him he must order his men TO surren-
der or he would shoot.
General Anderson answered defiant
wave of the hand and firm shoot and be
damned" adding that he would never tell
his men to surrender.
Anderson was then taken 70 hotel as a
prisoner. Tonight it is reported that the
miners intend to lynch him. One thousand
citizens and soldiers are now on the way as
reinfOrcements.
They have plenty Of ammunition, two
gatling guns and two cannons. They are
under command of General CarneS, OF
Memphis, and he declares they will go to
Coal Greek to-niGht or wade through
blood. Nothing has been heard OF the
train or its officers that left Knoxville at
4:3O p. m. since il passed Clinton.

There is no doubt but they are the men
that have caused the excitement here be

In State Convention Assembled, Declares
in Favor of Better Things for the
LabOrlng Glasses.
DAVENPORT, Iowa, August 1S.-The
Democratic State Convention was held
here to-day. The chairman'S address
was received with frequent cheers.
Hon. J. Duncombe, OF Webster county,
chairman of the Committee on ReSolu-
tions, presented the platform, which
touches on labor difficulties as follows:
We are in thorough sympathy with the
multitude OF honest tOilerS throughout the
land and we observe with deep SOlicitude
the conflicts between labor and capital
which manifest themselves in the ever in
creasiug number and scope of lockouts
and strikes. These conditions are charge
able to the policy of the Republican party
which has for its object the disbursement
of taxes amoug the favored few and the
maintenance OF privileged classes at the
expense OF the masses. The greed OF the
CAPITALIST in monopolizing the benefits
granted bv this policy will never deal just
lv with producing labor: and while we
insist thaJ violence and disorder must be
restrained under all circumstances, and
that the ballot box is the place for the de-
termination of such vital questions; we de-
clare that the proper solution of the prob
lens which now confront the people Of
rhis country can be found only by return
ing to the simple principles enunciated by
the founders of the Republic, the sturdy
advocates of the greatest possible personal,
political and commercial liberty consistent
with good order and the supremacy Of law.
The reception OF the resolution was
enthusiastic, and they were adopted
unanimously by rising vote. $. p.
Van Dyke, OF Vinton, Benton county,
was nominated by accamation for Audi
tor. For State Treasurer, Charles Ruen-
nitz: Judge Ezra Willard, OF Atlantic,
