spits. Within twenty minutes after ranks
were broken there were three long and
even rows of army cans containing boiling
water for coffee. men were distributing
hard tack, beans and canned goods rations
and the guards were patrolng the boun-
daries Of the camp.
Presently a squad under Sheriff Leming
returned to camp with John Flynn, who
was put in charge cf a colored
soldier in one end of the sta
ton. This was at 1:30 o'clock
and half hour later Gade and esquire"
Summers were brought in. Summers is a
little man, with long beard and keen blue
eyes. He insisted that he had done nothing
for which the law should take him to task,
while Gade protested his innocence of
wrong-doing. All the men taken into Gus
tody were taken TO Washington, where
they had hearing before Judge Hefron
and were released on bail. Flynn's wife
and mother were admitted to the guard
house here, and for ten minutes they cried
and bewailed their misfortune. An impress
sion prevails that the men will be given
severe sentences.
THE COAL CARS MOVED.
A short time after the special bearing
the troops had unoaded wrecking train
came down from Washington and the crew
began to repair the track that had been
broken by the miners and to relieve it Of
the blockade caused by turning over the
loaded coal cars The few miners the
scene said that any further efforts to inter-
fere with the coal traffic at this point
would practically be suicide. Superintend-
ent McMahon, of the Mississippi division
of the Baltimore & Ohio Southwestern,
who came from Seymour the militia
special, gave the work of clearing the
track attention. At noon the coal cars
were ready to be moved and they were
sent away at a good speed.
The miners say that the coal
i'm these cars came from West
Virginia, and they claim IL was mined since
the troubles with the operators began.
They also claim, although without proof,
that the derailment of the and the
blocking OF the switch was accomplished
by six young men who are not miners,
but who profess to oe in sympathy with
the strikers.
The thirty men on the log were a bit
ironical when the troops marched up. They
had three loaves of bread and a few slices
of bacon. which they offered the militia
men, announcing that such fare with the
miners luxurious. indeed.

believe there would be any trouble at
Cannelburg, the marshaling of con-
siderable a force of the citizen-soldiery
would have the effect of aweing the strik-
ers and forcing them to recognize the
power of the law. If the miners attempt
any trouble it will undoubtedly be after
dark. There is a belief that Il considerable
number of the men are back in the woods.
1t is reported that many of them bought
revolvers and ammunition at Shoals on
Saturday night.
The troops in camp have been divided
by battalions as follows:
First-Maj. w. S. Rich, of Indianapolis,
comma nding, Companies A, ID and NJ of
the Second Regiment.
Second-Major Il. p. Thayer, of Green
field, Company F of the Fourth Regiment
and Companies ] and of the Second
Third-Lieut.-Col. Harry b. Smith. of In
dianapolis, Companies B and + of the First
Regiment and Company of the Third.
