INDIANAPOLIs.I Ind, June Fifteen
companies of the state militia. infantry
and squad of artillery men with a
Gatling gun have gone to Cannellton :
and Shelburn to suppress the rioting of
the strikers. Four Indianapolis COM
panieS of artillery and one company
from Anderson, under command of
Adjt. Gen. Robbins.left here at o'clock
tonight for Cannellburg. They will be
joined at Seymour by other companies.
The strikers are defiant and trouble is
anticipated. At Shelburn the situation
is serious. The sheriff attempted with
the assistance Of. strong posse
to move coal cars sidetracked there,
but was driven away by the
strikers. The news of the governors
ordering out the militia was received
with defiance. and the strikers declared
that they were prepared to whip any
force the governor might send. They
are armed, and. 1t is said, are we'll sup
piled with giant powder, with which
they threaten to blow up any train
which attempts to bring soldiers into
their midst. Col. w. J. Mckee. of this
city, has left for Shelburn. He will
meet companies comprising about 800
men. They come from Terre Haute,
Brazil, Vincennes, Washington, Prince
ton and Evansville. The feeling at
Terre Haute, point in touch with the
miners troubles, is that the force
ordered out is insufficient, and
that bloodshed cannot be ayerted. The
Cannelsburg strikers carried things i'll
a high-handed manner until the report
of the troops being ordered out, and
they telegraphed the governor they had
been grossly misrepresented, and there
was no need of the militia. 1t is be-
lieved this was ruse to postpone the
arrival of the militia until more mis-
chief could be done. When the militia
arrived there the railroad company be-
gan unmolested to repair the damage
done its track, and will soon be able to
run trains through. The Vandalia COM
pany succeeded in getting fifteen cars
of coal through Brazil yesterday. The
strikers are reported to be quiet at this
point, but determined to allow no coal
to be moved.
FIVE HUNDRED SOLDIERS.
COLUMBUS. Ind, June AT $3.50 a
special train carrying all the Indiana
companies of the state militi, and two
cars of ammunition passed through this
city for CaDnellton. There were 500
soldiers on the train, under command OF
Gen. Ross. The troops will not attempt
to run into Cannellton in the night. as
the strikers are aware of their coming.

burg tonight and went into camp. The

Brazil tonight, and will depart on the
midnight lrain.
LOUISVILLE. KY. June 2.-Company

WASHINGTON, Ind, June 2. = The
situation as regards the striking coal
miners is very serious. There are 500
miners now at Cannelsburg, ten miles
east of this city, and they nave COM
PEELED the conductors on the Baltimore,
Ohio Il Southwestern to sidetrack forty
cars of coal in transit from Cincinnati
to st. Louis; have derailed three cars;
upset one, and torn up the track of the
switch on each side of the coal cars.
Sheriff Lemlng served injunction pa
pers upon them. but no attention was
paid to him. He then telegraphed the
governor for troops. The Cannelsburg
miners are aided by miners from this
city and Montgomery.
