on the Ohio side of the river took on
decidedly changed aspect, so far as
the c., L. & w. road is concerned.
Judge Taft, of the United States
Court for the Southern district OF Ohio,
Eastern division, notified General Man
ager w. R: Woodford, of the Railroad
Company, last evening, through the
proper channels of the Court, that the
application made by the Company for
an injunction restraining the Local
Mining Unions and all other persons
from in any manner interfering with
the running of coal or other trains, had
been granted, and the Court would af-
ford the Company the necessary protec-
tion, If any was required, to carry the
order into effect.
Upon receipt OF this official notfica-
ton, Manager Woodford at once ad-
dressed the following telegram to Pres
ident John Mcbride, of the National
Miners organization, at Columbus:
"BRIDGEPoRT, o., June b, 1874.
ITO Hon. John Mcbride, Columbus, o.:
1.-THE Circuit Court of the United States
has issued decree, command and order,
enioining the local unions Of the United
Mine Workers and all other persons, from
in any way interfering with the operation
of trains over the Cleveland, Lorraine and
Wheeling Railway Company's line, and
that Court has placed the running Of trains
under control of United States Marshals.
We will run coal trains tomorrow morning,
and earnestly request that you use every
effort to prevent auy interference with the
operation of trains, or with the road in any
way, and thereby save serious injury TO
those concerned. Kindly act promptly.
Answer LSigned.
''W. r. WooDFoRD,"
''Gen. Mgr. c., L. 81 w. Ry. Co."
Manager Woodford expected an an
swer from President Mcbride last even
ing, but up to q late hour nothing had
been received.
This action Of the Federal Court en-
sures one OF two things to-day either
the running of trains, or serious trouble
through the resistance of the unions; or
it may be that the two may be COM
bined. The miners naturally do not re-
gard the move by the Railroad Compa-
ny with any degree Of favor; neither do
they desire to come into collision with
the authorities in any manner.
What to-day will bring forth is ex-
ceedingly uncertain, and developments
will be awaited with great anxiety.
TROOPS ORDERED OUT.
The following special telegram was
received from Columbus late last
night:
governor Mckinley has issued an

about six hundred miners are congre-

aiding the tracks with ties, and
in short wholly preventing the
operation OF the b. & o. railroad. we
will start these trains, or rather put the
Company in control Of its property,
said Adjutant General Howe, this even
ing, and then proceed east along the b.
& o. to several points where the strik-
ers are giving trouble. Arriving at
Bridgeport, we shall go north along the
Cleveland and Pittsburg road to and
above Martins Ferry, and out the c.,
L. & w. There the strikers have
been having everything their own way
for some time, and there fear we will

ploved element there, viciously inclined
and intoleraCt OF control by the agen-
cies of the law
Governor Mckinley called out the
troops on the request of the Sheriff OF
