Abont dusk last night General Howe
gave very strict orders In the camp.

About half past o'clock last night
the eight companies OF troops VINO nad
been sent on duty in the morning 10
help the coalAtrains out OF Belmont
county, returned to the camp. Ihere
were three hundred Of these soldiers,
and they reported that they had seen
the coal trains beyond Flushing.
The only incident was at Barton, "nlcn
is recorded In this report. All along
the route the miners who had collected
along the tracks-gave way TO The SOL
diers when they saw them.
Retween 4 and 5 o'clock yesterday
afternoon two shots fred in rapid sue
cession resounded about the hills OF tue
WI pniDQa 'HhaSA
shots were the first fired at the camp
and il raised considerable excitement.
The picket line had been extended In
the afternoon, and one OF the soldiers
was on duty In the ravine near the
mouth OF the mines. The picket was
about a quarter OF mile from the CEN
ter of the camp. De was
facing the camp, when shot
was heard and bullet ratified
intentionally near him. The soldier
did not loose a second, but turned
around and saw q man about ten YARDS
from him. The picket was down on
his knees In a moment, and with quick
aim sent a bullet toward the man who
had fred at him. Word was sent to
the camp at once, and q squad or SOL
diers sent to where the man had stood.
They could not find him. The Incident
tended TO make all the pickets keep a
very close lookout.
One thing yesterday the miners pre-
vented, and that was the passage OF any
provisions for the soldiers across the
creek to the camp. All the food for the
soldiers was taken to 'csmp by the u,
l.. & w. railway. There were two In
cidents connected with this. In the
morning the quartermaster's depart
ment came to Bridgeport for supplies,
and William Woods, the grocer, sold
them good bill. 1t was in the bargain
that the grocer would deliver
the groceries to the camp. About 10
o'clock in the morning, Mr.. Woods With
his wagon well filled with cabbage,
strawberries, sugar and the like started
for the camp. he went TO the end OF
the street car line and started to cross
the creek in his wagon just below tho
70 OF bridge. When the miners saw him
there was q war wheop and they made
a break for the grocer, who admits that
at that time he was scared. They boot
ed at him and told him il he did not go

the other side OF the creek were the
soldiers telling the grocer to come on.
Mr.. Woods was in the middle Of the
creek and he drought it best for him
to come back, so he turned about. He
then drove back to Bridgeport with all
his cabbage, ETC., in peace. he still has
the order at his store. About dusk one
of the wagons Of the Wheeling Bakery
went toward the camp with a tempting
looking load Of bread. The wagon was
crossing the creek below where Mr..
Woods made his stand when the women
saw it. The scenes were Identical with
those of Mr.. Woods, only in this hold
up the women took part. The bread
man, too, decided to come back, and he
hauled his breao back to Wheeling. The
street car company thought 1t not ad-
visable to haul any Of the provisions to
the camp, aud so they refused to do II.
