spring fever has extended TO the mining
district were nothing OF importance has
happened. ! won't over tho ground
carefully to-day and found everything
quiet. Tho backbone OF the trouble has
undoubtedly been broken. 1t Ia prob.
ablo that portion Of the troops will bo
taken away tomorrow. There is aome
slight sickness in camp, partaking OF
the nature OF dysentary.
1t is not serious. Dr.. Gillian, sur
goon Of Company @, is attending tho
men. The fact was telegraphed to the
adiutant general to-day with request
for medicine, which was sent. Four
cases OF boots and shoes arrived to-day
for the troops and they were gladly re.
ccived. Company K gets tho sporting
boots, paying extra for them. The
troops are not worry comfortably quar-
tered, having 10 sIecp on hard benches,
but their food is good and they aeem
very well contontcd.
Eight more prisoners were taken 10
Fayetteville to-day, making thirty-three
in all. Tho Jail is getting full and thero
is some talk OF utilizing tho Kanawha
jail in case OF necessity. Many other
arrests will be made tomorrow. Many
OF the mon wanted arc in hiding and
some trouble will be experienced IN
locating them, but no pains will be
spared TO bring to justice tho mon who
mado the attack on WANTS tipple.
Jackson. the rioter who was arrested
with dynamite on his person, fully
corroborates the story OF tho Pinkeston
detective, which was exclusively con-
tanned in the 1STELLIGEyCHRs dispatches
this morning. Jackson is now at Fay
cttevlle.
wYANr IN EAGLE
Wyant came to Eagle from Faycttc
last night, but not under bond, as re-
ported. Tho freight that brought him
was crowded with miners who hurled
all sorts Of epithets at him but attempt
ed no actual violence. They made q
strong fight to have tho trial held at
Montgomery, but finding this impossi.
bic tried to have it held at Eagle. For
awhile the proposition was considered
and when the strikers thought they had
gained their point they clapped their
hands with satisfaction. This demon
stra:iou convinced the authorities that
Fayetteville was tho best place for the
trial and he was taken there.
A tad 20 al
Pink Brown. lie is 4 tough citizen;
having had his arm blown OF and eye
put out while killing fish with dynamite
some years ago in tho Kanawha river.
Ile Is charged with having made and
furnished all tho dynamite that was
distributed 10 be used to kill the troops
with. It's proven, indeed, that he did
do so to n certain extent.
nRowE's DENIAL.
Through tho efforts Of one OF the off,
GERS was permitted to interview this
man for the ISrELIAGEXCER lie de-
MED all knowledge OF tho charge and
SAID hat ho was neither miner or had
anything to do with them. IIe did not
know what ho was arrested for and was
perfectly Innocent. Ho stated to mo
that on Sunday evening he was ap-
preached by two men who asked him
to sell thom dynamite, offering him 81
asticIt for it. but he refused, as ho had
mono on hand They refused to teI!
him what they wanted with 1t. Ho
knows who tho parties are and says
they are disreputablo characters.
Browns story may be true in part.
Private Hawkins, OF Company X, was
fired on twice last night as he guarded
the tlpple BY some one on an east
bound freight, but the shots flew wide
OF the mark. Later In the night three
shots we're fired from passenger train,
but at no one In particular, 1t is
thought.
Another gatling gun was brought to
Eagle to-day FROM Moundsvillo, but it
will be brought to Charleston to-day ior
repairs.
An official telegram to General Holly
advised him to take part Of tho troops
away, und this will probably be done,
rs no further serious trouble Ia px-
pected.
MINES RESUME.
All day long hundreds Of miners have
been passing Eagle on ireights md it ia
probable that they arc holding a meet
ing somnwere. Bones, tho man who
was shot in the leg, has been taken to
the Sheltcring Arms hospital. Tho lop
will have to bo alnputated. Tho follow.
ing gas coal mines started up to-day:
Shapes, Stevens, Diamond, Forest Hill,
Chesapeake, Canueiton, Powellton and
Digleys. The operators are encouraged
and hope to be running iull force in n
short time. Matters havo been brought
toe fine point and I believe the trouble
is dying natural death. The strikers
pay they have side to the story which
has not received tho attention Of the
press. It is probable that one OF the
Charleston papers will in day or two
take up the cudgel for tho strikers.
a BLOODY WARNING.
Miners going 10 work ut Canneton
to-day found envelopes in the road.
Nothing was written upon the papor on
the inside. but blood was found on both
Bides. They take this as warning, and
some OF ,hem arc considerably fright.
