operator at Divide says that deputies
with rifles are standing guard over him
and Will not permit him to send any

MILITIA HAS A QIUETING EFFECT.
r9I In
presence of the two regiments of the
Maryland National Guard, numbering
over 1000 men, has disquieting effect
upon the strikers. For the first time
they fear the advent of new men to take
their places in the mines. 1t is believed
now that it is question of only little
time before the sober second thought
will prevail and the rush for work will
be begun.
A BATTLE EXPECTED.
A message has been received from
Bull Hill announcing that part of the
miners scouts who were stationed in the
vicinity OF Gillette encountered body
of 400 deputies just after dawn. The
scouts retreated before the deputies and
quickly gave the alarm to the miners
garrison. Preparations were made to re-
ceive the deputies and battle is ex-
pected within few hours.
Gillette is only five miles from Bull
Hill. A dense fog prevails and this will
help the miners, who know every foot
of the ground.
The telegraph wires between Cripple |
Creek and Bull Hill have been cut, and
it is difficult to get news.
Triples GO DOWN WITH A RUSH.
About II o'clock this morning some
one came among the strikers congre-
gated about the tube works and an
that some tube workers were |
working at the slack piles across the |
river. A mad rush was made by 700 or
800 men to put stop to it. When they |
reached the tipple of john Davitt it came
down before the onslaught within few
From there the crowd made
break for new tipple being erected by
John Mcintyre, about mile above. A
halt was made for some little time, until
the mob could all begathered, and then
the Mcintyre tipple shared the same
tate as the Davitt.
AT the Eckhart mines rs men went to
work. This was few more than were
1t work yesterday and was considered a
more encouraging sign.
At the Hoffman rs out of 1876 went to
work to-day, and at the Allegheny the
'ull complement of about $50 men went
70 their rooms in the mines.
In view of the massmeetings and
parades last night by the Eckhart miners,
he outlook for speedy return of a
majority of all the miners under militia
S exceedingly good.
