TROUBLE EXPECTED AT UHRICHSVILLE.
An Associated Press telegram says:
SENTIMENT OF TIE MINERS,

Meetings To Be Held In this CITY and
BsIlaire, TO-Day-A Circular from John
Mcbride Received at Bridgeport, Yes
terday.
An imitation newspaper, published
afternoons in this city, announced yes
terday with that assurance, which com
plets ignorance inspires, that the min
ers at Wheeling Greek did not decide,
Wednesday night, they would not so to
work.
The President of Local No. 13 said
yesterday that the accounts In the
Wheeling morning papers were accu-
rate, and this was confirmed by other
officers and miners.
THE CIRCULAR RECETVEd.
Yesterday morning Local No. 13 re-
ceived the lOoksd-fOr circular from
President John Mcbride, OF the Nine
workers. In the afternoon, at the Mi
ners' hall, in West Bridgeport, the MI
ners held another meeting, the princi-
pal object Of which was to talk over the
circular This document says that the
officials are grieved that they cannot re-
port 10 the locals that they had gained
what they had asked, but say they did
the best they could. The circular is a
lengthy one and contains the history OF
the strike from its beginning TO the end.
II is intended that the different locals
over the country shall vote at
once on the new conditions
aud wire the president as TO
the result. The Wheeling Creek min
ers have not set a time yet TO take
formal action 10 this matter. AT the
meeting yesterday some OF the repre-
sentatves of the miners Of Bellaire were
present ana asked the Bridgeport work
men 10 attend a meeting in that city
this afternoon, aud they decided to at
tend. The sentiment OF the miners or
Wheeling Creek seems just as strong as
ever not 20 accept the proposed compro-
mise. Some Of them are feeling alittle
hard toward the National officers, as
they think they did not do the best
they could in the recent convention at
Columbus. They are also talking OF
sending the National officers word, as
many of the other miners over the coun-
try are doing, TO resign. This action
will be considered at meetings which
are to follow.
To-DAY's MEETING AT BELLAIRE.
There is to be great mass meeting
OF the miners Of all the districts in the
neighbOrhOOd across the river this
afternoon, 10 the rink at Bellajre. 1t
is expected that fully fifteen hundred
OF the miners OF that locality will be
present. The object of the meeting is
TO talk over and 10 take action on the
propOSed COMPROMISE The officials OF
the local at Bellaire were busy all day
yesterday sending kilograms and no.
tices TO the locals in that section OF the
country, earnestly asking that all the
miners who can attend the meeting this
afternoon, which will be called TO order
at o'clock sharp. A. Adams, President
Of the Mine Workers of the State OF
Ohio, will be present, probably, and w.
c. Pearce, the State Secretary, has also
been asked TO be present. These Of
fcials have been sent special notices TO
be present. TIE home of Mr.. Adams is
at Jacksonville, and that of Mr.. Pearce
is at Corning. 1t is thought these Of
ficIals will be able TO shed much light
on the recent convention at Columbus,
and the meeting is looked forward to by
the miners as one of great importance.
The miners are expecting several brass
bands to be in attendance at the meet
ing.
TO RESUME WORK.
News was received in this city yes
terday afternoon that the MoundSville
miners would return 70 work under the
Columbus agreement. Last evening
word was received from that place that
the report was true, and that men were
engaged in cleaning up the mine pre-
paratory to 4 resumption. Thirty men
were at work during the day, aud more
will be at work tomorrow. The mine
will 90 on in full Monday.
The miners of the Wheeling district
will meet at Trades Assembly hall this
afternoon TO consider and act upon the
Columbus Conference agreement. The
meeting Is expected 70 be very large
one. Sentiment among the miners here
seems to be a good deal divided, and
what the meeting will 90 is uncertain.
