men. some of the members being out OF

The Governors action is based on the

and Superintendent Graham, OF the Bal
timore and Ohio railroad, said they had
not been able to get freight train
through Mt. Sterling FOR two days and
that the sheriff of Madison county with

Ger, and a representative OF the State,
a very determined man, is at the train
with some deputies, and il is supposed
the show OF military is being made so as
10 enable MahOny to induce the men TO
leave the train without the use OF force.
II this does not work the military will
go 60 the scene.
Adiutant General How is there In
citizens dress. His uniform has been
sent TO him. A company o. the 14th at
Delaware has been notified to hold itself
in readiness.
Mt. STERLING, O., April 2s.-Gal-
wins men are quiet but are still holding

but very solemn. Every nerve is strnng
to a high tension awaiting the arrival

with Adjt.- -Geueral Howe. John Ma
honey offered to make the attempt to
drive the men from the train with his
thirty special officers but was advised

watch TO count the minutes. He then
started down the train and repeated his

the mass of the men frowned and shook
their heads. In the meantime the troops
were moving into position. The gat-
ling guns were placed so as to sweep
the top OF the long string Of cars. There

but before the three minutes were up,
