ALL QUIET IN MARSHALL,

But the Troops Wm Not Be Withdrawn
/ for Several Days-TwO OF the Soldiers
Arrested Yesterday bv BsRWOOd Police,
aud One of Them Fined.
The West Virginia soldiers in Mar
shall county did not come up to BoRgs'
run yesterday morning, but remained
on the 'loop" at Benwood Junction all
during the day.
About half past ten o'clock General
! Spillman's headquarters car was run
down to Mouud5vills for an hour or two
ana shortly before noon the general
headquarters and commissary car were
run up 70 the depot in this city for
supplies.
Sheriff Matthews came up to the
military camp 10 the morning, and a
conference was held upon the subject OF
/ how long the troops should be held upon
the ground. Sheriff Matthews said be
did not look for any renewal OF the
/ trouble, but referred TO the disposition
| OF the miners 70 object to a settlement
| OF the strike upon the Columbus con
I ference basis, aud thought that the
/ immediate withdrawal Of the troops
would not be advisable. Later the
/ Sheriff took even stronger ground
against
The REMOVAL OF TIE TROOPS,
and as a result q telegram was sent to
/ Governor MscCorkle scQuainting him
with the whole situation and trans
mitting the desire Of Sheriff Matthews
/ 20 have the soldiers remain right
/ where they were, for at least the next
| few days, or until the present some.
/ what cloudy situation clears up. Last
/ evening al headquarters the eIpecta-
\ tiOn was that marching orders would
not arrive before Friday night.
I Despite the excessively high state OF
| the thermometer, the soldiers passed a
much more comfortable day at the June
tion than upon either Sunday or
/ Monday at BogRs' run. Although
exp sed TO the direct rays Of the sun,
/ 8 ne breeze was blowing from the
/ northwest, aud In the shade OF the cars,
or even inside them, 10 was very COM
\ Portable Officers and men shed their
coats and even shirts, aud made them
| selves as cool as pos e, while during
the afternoon, in tF sadqusrterS cars,
some Of the membei OF the stat and
regimental officers not on duty took
short maps to make up for the loss OF
sleep the last few nights. A good many
OF the rank and file obtained leave 70
visit Bsnwood, and some even came mp
to the city to make purchases or see
friends.
SOLDIERS ARRESTED.
During the day some OF the soldiers
slipped over the bank for a bath In the
river. Some one complained 10 the
BsnWOOd police about it, and Officer
Sprouts went down and arrested +. J.
Poe, OF CarksbUrg, on the charge OF
exposure OF person. A comrade with
Poe interferred with the officer
and was also arrested. and the two were
taken before Mayor Thomas Sheppard,
after some little delay. Quite num-
Der OF soldiers went 70 hear
the trial, which ended about
FIVE o'clock with the conviction OF Poe.
He was fined s. and costs, or S. in sIl.
His comrade was not fined, being re-
leased on the understanding he was 70
be tried before 3 court martial II not
so tried. be is 70 remit Sl2 TO the Ben
wood authorities, the equivalent Of SO
and costs. When the BenWood officials
came to look over their papers, last
night, they found they did not have
this soldiers name. The arrest created
a good deal Of discussion in the camp,
several OF the officers being decidedly Of
the opinion the police officer should not
have been allowed TO make the arrests.
General SpiilmaI held TO the contrary,
however, saving the soldiers were there
10 aid the civil authorities, and not 10
violate anv law.
MOVEMENTS OF COAL.
The B. & 0. moved coal s, will yes
tsrday, and the transfer OF cars about
BenWood seemed TO excite 20 comment
whatever, upon any side. No one an
ticipates the slightest trouble on this
side OF the river, in the future. The
burning OF the Midvsle bridge, on the
c., L. s W., has very considerably in
tsrfered with shipments OF coal west,
and this accounts for the light receipts
at BenWood, from ont the B. S o.
There was . great deal Of anxiety in
