Wont Dy the COnLinueu OollikoIdut aus
on the Ohio side of the river, as Illus
trated by the damage to Wheeling and
Lake Erie bridges yesterday. Those
who claim to be most familiar with the
situation hold that it would take q con-
siderable force of deputy marshals to
preserve the peace should the troops
leave, and even with the marshals at
hand, they would be OF use rather in
making arrests after acts OF lawlessness
than of value in preventing such acts.
1t is needless to say that the regular
deputy marshals are not quite OF this
opinion.
Yesterday leaves OF absence at the
military camp at the Junction loop"
were not given very freely, and early in
the afternoon the entire force of troops
entered the cars and were run down to
Glendale, about half way between Ben
wood Junction and Moundsville, where
a couple of hours were put IN
DRILLING THE MEN
in company and battalion movements.
Quite a number Of spectators were al
tracted to Glendale by the unusual sight
Of the military, and the movements OF
the soldiers were watched with great
deal of interest. In the early evening
the soldiers re-embarked and the train
returned to the ''loop," where the cars
remained last night as usual.
No cases OF serious illness have been
reported among the troops, and the
whole body OF men are In good shape
and would be ready for duty at any
time. While not as well equipped as
the Ohio troops, the West Virginia men
would be OF quite as much account In a
scrimmage. The stories published in
some of the Wheeling papers about In
subordinRtion and excessive drinking
among the men have not been at al rel
ished by the soldiers, and the yarns
have been denounced by both officers
and men.
THE COLUMBUS CONFERENCE AGREE
MENT
was no more popular In this city and
vicinity, yesterday, than upon Tuesday.
Even at Elm Grove, where the agree
ment was reported as being generally
acceptabl at first, 1t was bitterly de-
nounced yesterday. and there seems to
be no real prospect that the men will
return to work under the rates of pay
provided for at the Ohio Capital. Yes
terday Wheeling miners were looking
forward with some interest to the &C.
tion to be taken by the miners OF the
Pittsburg district at Carnegie. II the
Pittsburg and Eastern Ohio miners
throw the conference agreement over
board, there is little doubt but that the
miners of the First West Virginia
district will drop into line with them,
and the fight will go on to finish.
some miners in this city seem TO be-
lieve that the outcome OF the confer
ence was really an effort on the part OF
the National officers to dodge the issue
and shift the responsibility for the
further continuance Of the strike upon
the several districts, and some OF the
men taking this view OF the case, do not
feel very good over 1t.
4 FALSE ALARM.
Soon after noon yesterday a telephone
message was received at police head
quarters that there was trouble near the
Peninsula tunnel, on the B. & o., and
that car of coal had been taken from
the train crew and upset. Chief Nc
Nichol, Lieut. Terrill and a squad Of
officers went out, and found everything
quiet and serene. There was car of
coal there, where it had been left by B.
