WASHINGTON Ind, June 3.-The State
troops marched into Clarke station this
morning 500 strong. with a Gatling gun. tn
find that only about fifty miners had
stayed to face the music.
The militia was drawn up in line along
the edge of the wood and Sheriff Lemming
then read the warrant against the miners
for riOtOus conspiracy and placed four of
the leaders, Squire. Summers, McGale and
John Flynn, under arrest, bringing them
to this city this afternoon and placing them
in Jail.
As soon as the troops were in line the
railroad company repaired the tracks and
the looded cars were taken away. The
thousand miners who were reported en-
route to Clarke failed to materialize, nor
did they collect at any point along the Bal
timOre and OHIO Southwestern. The cer-
tainty that the officers intended to enforcs
the law seemed to quell the riotous feeling
among the men. The miners say that as
soon as the troops are Withdrawn they will
again stop all cars, but, antici pAting this,
two companies will be- stationed at Clarke
until all fear of trouble is passed. Every
thing is quiet and there is a feeling of re-
lief among all classes. Trains of the COM
all the afternoon.
SULLIVAN, Ind, June 8. The

this morning. The companies stopped
over here and waited until the trainmen
could get an engine to pull the coal out Of

militia. She was caught by Sheriff Mills,
who secured her gun. AS soon as the train
men could get the train in shape. which
| took nearly an hour. the track was again
cleared and the coal train started our.
| The miners had each car branded "Scab
coal" The miners made threats that the
road should not ship coal unless they kept
a standing army at SheHburn all the time.

| CANNELsBURG, Ind, June SIT is ap-
parent tonight that the back bone of the
| strike has been broken. The formdab bic
| appearance of the militia is what has done
the work. The Washington miners de-
serted their colleagues and the hearts of
| the Cannelsburg miners are too faint and
their mum 5ers to few to do anything but
submit to the power of might This after
noon scouting parties were sent out to
scout the surrounding country. The search
was fruitless, the detachments failing TO
find any large number Of men congregated
at any one spot.
1t appears that the miners from Wash
ington took very prominent part in the
destruction of property on Friday night
and returned to their homes, falling to
support the Cannelsburg men. Superin-
tendent McMahOn of thA Baltimore and
Ohio Southwestern, at the suggestion of
the adjutant-geneTal, Is erowding all car
load coal from Cincinnati 10 the Indiana
State line on the west. About sevsnty-five
carloads were moved during the day. 1t
is expected to have the line cleared by to-
morrow morning of all coal. If this is
done there will be no more shipments for
ten days. The adjutant general expressed
the intenti of sending most of the troops
home tomorrow, retaining sufficient
force to prevent interference with the
trains until further developments should
dictate the removal of all the troops.
