duties, and TO frantic but unsuccessful
attempts TO keep cool.
AS upon sunday, the sun streamed
down upon the black mill cinders In the
BOggs' run yards until everything was
piping hot long before noon, and the
day was a most trying one for both Off
GERS aud men. The soldiers, for tne
most part, kept within the shade Of the
cars, and were more than glad when
evening brought the usual order TO
move TO the Junction for the night en-
eampmsut. Despite the excessively
hot weather, 10 prostrstious were re-
ported to Major Bsgueley, OF the med
ical department, and the most serious
cases calling for treatment were head
aches and other similar complaints. @
MOVING COAL FREELY.
Soon after midnight yesterday morn
ing Deputy U. S. Marshal Garden and
other Federal officials brought up a
mixed train, containing a considerable
amount Of coal, from Moundsville to
the Benwood yards, without being mo-
Tested In any manner, and this train was
speedily followed by two others. The
coal was sent over the river early in the
morning. and during the day all the coal
Ia the BenWOOd yards was cleaned up
and despatched 70 its destination. The
movement of the trains excited very lit
tie cOmmentSsand II was evident TO all
that further trouble in Marshall county
was very improbable.
The trial and conviction OF Davis, ar
ErpAnu aN
20 have a depressing effect upon those
inclined TO mischief, and there was
very general fear that arrests OF those
concerned In SATURDAYS riotOus demon
Strations would be made by the authori-
ties.
THE TROOPS BROUGHT UP.
The troops encamped around the
loop at the Juction were turned out az
an early hour yesterday morning, and
by six o'clock the trains were on their
way 70 the BOggs' run yards. BY
half-past SIX they were at the old
location Just south of FOrty-eighth
street, where they remained through
out the daY. So quiet and peaceful
was the scene that guard duty was re-
laxed during the afternoon, and the
men wandered about the Vi
cinity almost at will, and could be seen
talking TO young ladies and citizens all
about that locality. About the middle
Of the afternoon an exciting game OF
ball was started by some of the soldiers.
and il attracted a large number of spec
tators, both civic and military. As
evening approached, discipline, which
had been somewhat relaxed during the
day, was again enforced, and by eight
o'clock the men wera all in the cars
again, and soon after the trains went
down to the Junction for the night. The
news Of the progress OF the Columbus
conference was eagerly sought for by
the military during the day. The fact
that a settlement bs6 been reached the
troops until late in the evening, but II
created the liveliest satisfaction on all
sides, as the men felt assured they
would be ordered home this morning.
INCIDENTS OF THE DAY.
Yesterday afternoon Adjutsnt Babb,
OF the First regiment, and Sergeant
Major RObL f. Ramsey, both members
OF the graduating class OF the State
University, obtained leave Of absence,
10 attend the commencement, and Lieut..
Col. C. L. Smith, q member OF the
Board Of Regents OF the University, also
left, TO attend a meeting to-day. Both
expected 70 return on Thursday, II the
troops were still on service.
About nine o'clock yesterday morning
the headquarters cars and the commits
sary car were run up TO this city for
supplies, and a number OF the officers
took the opportunity 10 get bath and
a shave.
The troops yesterday were not at all
in the humor TO stand any more abuse
from tOughs. An officer Of company
from out the B. Il o. said yesterday:
"My men came here reluctantly, and
most Of them openly sympathized with
the strikers. The experiences OF Sat
urday and Sunday made a radical
change in their sentiments, however,
and they are really anxious Tor
trouble, TO even up the score.
The rOughs who stood about and
cursed the men who answered the call
OF the Governor 70 uphold the law did
mach 20 iniure the cause Of the strikers
and 20 change the sentiment and feel
ing OF the troops, and If there had been
any occasion for shooting before a set
tlement Of the strike was reached the
men in uniform would have remem-
bered the vjliiCation they received with
every shot they fired.
A good many coupling pins and links
we're missing from among the coal cars
yesterday, they having been removed
bv the miners and their SympathizerS
who went about the yards az night after
the departure OF the troops for the
Junction.
CONFLICTING OPINIONS.
Il is the belief OF most Of the soldiers
that there was no real necessity for
troops in Marshall county, and they
claim this has been shown by the ease
with which Z. :. Commissioner Camp
bell aud the Deputy L. ). MarShals
brought trains through. More than one
officer said Yesterday that fifty deter
mined deputy sheritfs could have
moved ell the coal in Marshall county
without much trouble, and at compare
lively little expense 10 the State. Some
OF the railroad men, however, did not
concur in this, and thought the presence
OF the military prevented the destruc-
tion OF considerable railroad property,
and probably loss Of life, as the disorder
would probably have been greater with
ont the troops.
