URICHsvILLE, O., June ll.-This val
ley has been all astir with excitement
to-day, occasioned by the miners des.
perate efforts to stop the transportation
OF coal by the c., L. &. w. Railway.
They had been hauling some coal since
Saturday night. At Midvals, small
station three miles north of here, they
decided to make the attempt to stop IL.
There were two trestIes on one side
Of the station and a wooden truss bridge,
two hundred and fifty feet long, on the
other.
Saturday night, after the three trains
that had been sent out from Wheeling
creek by the State militia had passed
over, one OF the trestles
WAS BURNED, AND THE OTHER WAS
FIRED
after midnight this morning. A yard
engine aud wreck crew was sent out
at 2:3O a. N. TO put out the ire aud
repair. Several shots were fred
throug h the engine, and an Italian was
shot through the arm. One of the men
was struck with s stone. At ten
o'clock a h-bound freight was held
up and the train men were compelled
10 put it on the siding and bring the
engine and caOoose back to Uhrichs-
willie.
Ties were then placed upon treste
Nos and fred. The south bound train
soon came dashing around the curve,
but the danger was seen soon enough
70 avert q horrible accident. As the
conductor went 70 the station TO make
his report several stones came from the
thicket nearby, snd about

to Conductor Courtright and in a meas
urs apologized, but be informed them
that they should apologize to Uncle
Sam. for he was carrying the United
States mails, whereupon the flames were
extinguished and the train proceeded to
Uhrichsyille.
At noon two miners went into D. c.
Fosters hardware store and tried TO
borrow reVolVers, saying they wanted
20 stop coal trains Upon being refused
to sy began TO climb the counter to take
the guns by force. Mr.. Frank Foster

The Four Workmsn Kidnapped by the
Strikers Recsptured by the Deputies.
UNIoNTowN, PA, June 1.-THE four
American workmen who were taken
prisoners by mob OF foreigners at
New Haven, on Saturday, were over
taken at Fairchance and rescued at
noon to-day by the deputies. The dep
uties met with DO opposition, owing TO
their number, They were brought
here this afternoon and returned TO
their houses al LeisenrinR No. ..
When found they were still bearing the
placards, and were chalk marked from
head TO foot. They were worn and
haggard looking when rescued. They
were taken from Lemont yesterday
while the trouble was 10 progress, and
marched to Cool Spring, where they
were turned over to the strikers from
the Stewart coke works, and there kept
and uaraded until the leaders learned
that the officers had located them.
There they were taken to the southern
end and handed over from one crowd to
another until landed in the strikers
camp at Kyle. The deputies got onto
their whereabouts by little extra pa
rading, a1d having search warrants
went to rescue the imprisoned workmen.
The kidnapping is denounced on all
sides, even by the friends Of the strik-
ers, as the most strocious and fendish
act infthe history Of the movement and
the fact the prisoners were Americans
is turning public sentiment more
strongly against the perpetrators.
The deputies sre now collecting oil
the evidence available in the case and
many arrests will be made as soon as
they can be identified. Il Is estimated
that not less than 500 strikers handled
the workmen from the time they were
captured a. New Haven until they were
rescued to-day. The workmen will be
able to identify their captors and will
not fear 10 appear against them. The
southern end Of the county was the
scene of much depreciation last night

At other points. AT East GreenVille,
Eve miles from MaSsillOn. on the Wheel

brought into Bridgeport. A regiment
OF troops was sent out the c., l.. & W.
late Yesterday afternoon. The settle
ment OF the strike, at Columbus. last
evening, probably came in time 20 pre-
vent great loss 20 the railroads and
possibly a severe conflict between
the troops and rioters, as
the area OF violence was
spreading very fast, and the miners and
