THE MINERS STRIKE.
WILD RUMORS OF TROUBLE AT ELM GROVE,
YESTERDAY.
Caussd BY Visit Of Striksrs-Ths Sheriff Sent
for-An Unsettled Feeling Over the River.
General Industrial Nsws.

Early yesterday morning about seven
ty-five striking coal miners went out to
the mines at Elm Grove for the purpose
OF inducing fourteen men who are at
work there to Join the strike. The men
visited the mine and induced the
working miners to throw up their
Jobs. The presence OF SO many men
at the mine gave rise to alarming
rumors, which were augmented by one
or two chance pistol shots, and when a
dash of rain caused the crowd to break
for cover some imaginative people
thought the stampede was the wild
rush of frenZied mob bent on
death and destruction, and a telephone
message was seat for Sheriff Franzheim.
That official hurried out, but when ne
got there everything was peaceful and
serene.
Trouble seems to be imminent, In the
opinion OF some persons, out the CleVe-
land, Lorain and Wheeling railway.
The feeling is caused by the existing
coal miners strike, and the railroad
hauling the non-union coal. This
trouble has been brewing ever since the
strike began, but now ii has assumed
more threatening attitude.
In the main the rairoaders do not
wish TO haul the coal which is going
over the line in large consignments from
the mines of Fairmont and Monongah,
this State. And besides this they feel
in danger. They say IL is not safe Tor
them, and that it is risking much for
them to have charge of the trains haul
ing the so-callsd "scab" coal.
The men claim they have been
threatened in a number of cases. Last
Monday night, just beyond the Wheel
ing Creek mines short distance, the
caboose of a freight containing the coal
was stoned by q number OF persons
along the track Engineer Kirk, OF
the train, was hit on the arm with
stone, and the member was nearly
broken. Some of the glass In the en-
CINE window was broken.
The Railroad Company, anticipating
trouble, have placed two and three
watchmen at all the bridges along the
line for miles from this city, and extra
WdlCuhGn arc PtUNNN ~ Wv
along the road in many places. The
feeling is growing bitter among the
sympathizers and the strikers against
those hauling the coal. Every evening
squads Of men can be seen along the
railroad looking for coal trains.
The employees OF the freishts have
been talked 10 about hauling the coal,
and aiding in the strike against the
miners, and they have about consented,
it is understood, to quit hauling the
coal entirely.
II the strike is not settled, or some
thing done, trouble is looked for along
the line at most any time.
A West Virginia mine offers TO de-
liver coal in Belaire in one hundred
car lots. The price being away up, the
factories there do not feel able 20 pay
the advance.

The Laurh on Him.

Mill men of the Riverside are guying
sorely one OF the well-known pattern
makers Of the plant. Not very many
nights ago the pattern maker decided
that he could have some fun by taking
several young ladies OF the South Side
for q skiff ride. De hired skin from
Joe Humes, and with the craft full Of
young ladies started from the Forty
third street landing. He soon found
that it was very hard to row the boat.
When he got to the Ohio side be
thought he would pull ashore. he got
on land and pulled and pulled trying to
make il so. the ladies could land. After
blistering his hands he failed in the at
tempt. he roWed with no small diff
entity to the West Virginia side again.
When he made an examination Of the
skiff he found that some one had tied a
stone weighing over 200 pounds to the
rear end Of the boat with wire. Later
in the evening the self same pattern
maker, after getting the stone loose,
was seen peacefully rowing on the
river, with his wife this time.

EAST LIVERPOOL, o., May 16--The
drawings for the proposed new bridge
across the Ohio river at this point are
completed.
The plans were drawn up and sent on
to Washington last fall, but were sent
back with the request that several
changes be made The second drawings
were made in February and March,
after which the plans were again sent
10 Washington for approval.
The parties who have the project In
hand are nearly all Estern people. They
have options on several thousand acres
of land on the West Virginia side OF the
river, extending along the river to
point almost opposite WellSville. Mr.,
J. 4. Mcdonald, of this city Is their
representative, and he was asked to-day
who the projectors were. He said:
II am not now fres to give you the
names. II our plans are accepted oy
the War Department the contracts for
the preliminary work will be let Inside
of ninety days. Until then l cannot
diyulge the company which is interest
ed in the deal. The structure will cost,
Including approaches, close to $500, 600.
The new bridge will have three main
spans-the channel span 500 feet IN the
clear. Ii will be for foot and passenger
traffic, but not for the use OF a railroad
A street railway line is TO cross the
bridge, and il is thought that Al. john
who owns the line between this city ana
WellsViile, is interested.
That the scheme is not visionary Is
demonstrated by the fact that the COM
pany is already negotiating for ground
for the approaches on the Ohio side OF
the river. The ground on the West
Virginia side is covered 0y options, and
the West Virginia property owners have
already subscribed a bonus OF S25, 900 TO
the company. Contractors from Can
ton, Cleveland, Pttsburg and elsewhere
have been here the past two weeks tg-
uring on the stonework for the new
structure.
Should the scheme be go, the COM
PAW will Neutrality-suspicious. the options
which IL holds on the land on the West
Virginia side OF the river. The struc-
ture will be toll bridge and will cross
at the upper end of the city, a short dis
lance below Ba6bs Island.
WASHINGTON, ID. c., May l6.-The
chief Of engineers has ordered board
OF engineer officers consisting Of Lieut..
Colonel Amos Stickney, Major ID. w.
Lockwood and Captain Il. l.. Hoxie, to
assemble at East Liverpool, Ohio, to eX-

The difference between the Stone
Cutters union of the city and Halleck
Bros. is not settled. The breach seems
broader than it was. The situation
now is: The union wants Charles Du-
rant, OF Bellaire, to pay his fee into the
union. This fee amounts to $500. Mr..
Durant is employed by Halleck Bros,
and he refuses to comply with the de-
sire Of the union. In this condition of
affairs none Of the members OF the
union are allowed TO work with Durant
without breaking the pledges of the
organization. The result is that Hal
leck Bros. have none but non-union
men in their employ. Serious compli-
cations are feared. The stone cutters
think that IL Durant would pay his fee,
and become a member or the union, all
the non-union men OF Halleck Bros.
would be uniouiZed.
Last Tuesday night, Brick Layers
Union, No. /, OF this city, held meet
ing at their hal on Market street, and
1t was decided to work for forty cents
an hour hereafter, instead of forty-fve
cents as formerly. The men will work
nine hours to constitute 3 day, as for
merly. The change has already gone
into effect. The union made the change
Of their own free will, in consideration
of the prevailing hard times.
Next Tuesday, the potters' strike in
this city will have been on for four
months. 1t was begun on the twenty
second OF last January. Both sides
seem as firm as at the beginning. The
potters state that they have not lost one
man from their organization.
Plate mill d, of the Riverside iron
works, closed down last night. This
was made necessary partly by the need
OF repairs and partly by the lack OF
materials.
The pottery at Tiltonville is closed
down. No coal is the cause. Sixty men
are thrown out of employment. The
works have been on ever since last
January.
The North Wheeling bottle works
are not on. II Is not known by the
management whether or not the works
will resume even next week.
The North Wheeling pottery is going

been put to- work. There are now
about 100 men at work.
The Crystal Glass Works OF Bridge
port are on in full. They now have
been going for the last six months with
out stop.
Trade is slack at the keg and barrel
works of Thomas Mears, on the other
side of the river. Little OF the plant is
being run.
Charles F. Freese, roller at the La
Belle iron works, went to Columbus,
Ohio, yesterday to take a vacation.

result is the greatest output Of coal in
the history OF the Fairmont region.
The REeIsrER's local columns on Mon
day contained the following paragraph
concerning coal shipments from that
point:
Yesterday the B. & o. carried more coal
from the Fairm0nt region than ever before
in its history. The shipments were i'm
menss, and were over the main line land
ing the coal in the Benwood yards, and by
the new Fairmont, MOrgantown and Pitts
burg line. Eight engines, each hauling
nifty cars, left the FairmOnt yards over the
F., NJ. Il p, and three hundred loads left
the yards by the main line, making seven
hundred loads to leave the field by the B.
s, Q. in a single day.
The miners are doing better, have
steadier work and are making more
money than for long time before and
the prospects are good for continuance
OF the present situation. Had they
Joined in the strike aud failed their con-
dition would have been much worse
than It's. Had they joined in the strike
and been successful their condition
would have been no better than it was
before the strike, when on account Of
railroad discrimination in freight
rates it was almost impossible for the
Fairnont coal men to compete with
those Of Ohio aRd Pennsylvania. As it
is they not only have plenty Of work
but by their determination to continue
at work they have enabled their en-
ployers to make contracts which will
afford them work fer a loRg time in the
future. The men who have refused TO
join the strike are faring better than
any Of the other miners Of the country.
In the Flat Top region the situation
is about the same The men are all at
work, more coal is being mined and
more money paid the miners than ever
before Their coal is being introduced
into places where it has never
been known before aud where fu-
turs market will probably be opened
up. All the coal from the Flat Top
field is hauled over the Norfolk ana
Western railroad and some idea Of the
output may be gained by the following
paragraph FROM the Huntington Herald
concerning the coal traffic on the Nor
folk and Western:
Never in the history OF the road have the
Y. x w. yards az kenova been so crowded
as at present. The heavy freights that
como into that point with trains Of coal
and coke sixty % eighty cars long take up
lots Of ROOM and the officials are kept busy
regulating the making OF trains 20 get IL
away and over the Columbus stretch with
the greatest possible speed to prevent
blockade. Trains are daily going onward
with seventy-fve and eighty cars and spe-
cials are run without number. Business
was never better.
The other miners in the State who
are at work find the situation about the
same. They are prOfting by their re-
fusal to join in the strike.
II may be pretty hard on the men
who are striking to have the other fell
lows keep on at work. but it's q pretty
nice thing for those at work,

BENwooD ASSIGNMENT.


Vance Bros. Transfer All Their Assets.
The Reasons Actusting the Firm.
A deed OF assignment from Vance
Bros, doing general mercantile bust
ness at Benwood, TO j. w. Maxwell,
assignee, was left for record in County
Clerk Lewis Office, at Moundsylle, yes
tsrday morning. The deed conveys all
the real estate owned by the Erantors,
consisting of several lots in Benwood
and McMechen, and also trasfers all
their stock of merchandise In their
store rooms in BeDwood. The assets
are estimated to be far in excess OF the
liabilities, and the assignment was
made, not because OF failing
circumstances, but for the pur-
pose of conducting business on =
cash basis, aud also to collect all out
standing debts, which seem to be very
large. The assignee Is empowered by
the deed ito conduct the business the
same as heretofore for the space OF one
wear. after which time, il all their To-
debtedness is not then paid, the stock
is 10 be closed out, and the real estate
is 10 be sold for that purpose. Ia the
meantime the assignee Is TO collect the
rents and profits Of the real estate, and
is also TO conduct the merchandise
business. He may, however, during
the continuance OF business sell the
real estate, providing the consent OF
the grantors be first had and obtained.
