ALONG TIE O., L. s w.
a Decided Change in the Sentiment oil
the Miners - Coal Trains MoVed-The
Deputy MarShAls stil About, but No
More Arrests Made.
Everything was quiet along the line
of the c., L. & w. in this vicinity yes
terday. Coal trains were sent out dur
ing the day, under guard Of deputy
marshals, and had no trouble in getting
through.
Yesterday afternoon word came to the
Office OF the mines at Wheeling Creek
that the miners OF the Hooking Valley,
1000 strong, in a meeting at Nelson
Vile Yesterday, had decided to go to
work on the sixty cent compromise basis
next Monday. This news spread among
the miners of the Wheeling Creek coal
mines, and it was easy to see that their
stand for the seventy cent rate had been
weakened by the news. Formerly none
of them would think OF going to work
at the sixty cent rate, they said, but
Yesterday the sentiment among them
had changed most wonderfully. In one
day they seemed to have lost hope OF
getting the seventy cent rate. At late
bour in the afternoon il looked like
some OF the miners would 60 to work in
the mines next Monday, but it is very
hard TO tell now what day may bring
forth in the situation. II seemed yester-
dsv that all that was needed TO insure
some OF the miners TO go TO work, was
for some OF them to signify their will
ingness, and then many others would
the same. The mines are In such
shape that it will require little time to
get them In readiness for a resumption
after the strike, which has lasted just
eight weeks to-day.
COAL TRAINS MOVED.
The first coal train since the rebuild
ing of the burned bridge at MidYale left
the Bridgeport Yards at 6:33 o'clock
Yesterday morning. John Z. Schodeld,
one Of the deputy marshals, accompan-
led the train with seven of the other
deputies. At 7:20 o'clock the second
coal train left the yards, and 1t vas &C
companled by seven Of the deputies,
led by William Bennett. The intention
of the marshals was to furnish a guard
for the trains as far as Saltwater, and
in the afternoon Chief Edward Schles-
singer, who remained in Bridgeport, got
word that the trans had gotten through
safely, The fourteen marshals who
accompanied the trains returned to
Bridgeport in the afternoon. Late In
the afternoon the word came from Man
ager Woodiord that all along the line
things we re quiet, and that the travel
along the entire syste N was al that time
unobstructed.
THE DEPUTY MARsHALS.
Beyond the guarding OF the coal trains
to Saltwater, the force OF twenty-five
Deputy Marshalls stationed at Bridge
port, did little yesterday. The eleven
who remained at Bridgeport during the
day went to Camp Wheeling Creek ear
~ in the morning, and stayed there un-
til evening. They were on the lookout
for others of the miners for who they
had warrants, but they could not be
found. The woods are closely watched
but is a very difficult thing TO see any
OF the miners about, as they fear the
deputies. The officers have word from
Cincinnati to remain in this locality for
an indefinite period. 1t is fact not
known that all the deputies now in
are members OF the Miller
Detective Agency, Of Cincinnati, one OF
the oldest agencies in the country, and
second only TO the Pinkerton in this
country.
The four miners arrested at Wheel
ing Creek by the Marshals, charged
with contempt OF the United States
laws, are in prison in Columbus, they
having been unable TO furnish the bond
Of $500 each. Their trial before Judge
Taft will be at Columbus next Tuesday.
Attorney ex-SpeaKer Heissel, Of Colum-
bus, has been appointed by the Court to
defend the miners, and this gentleman
will be in the locality OF the mines to-
day with deputies to summon many
witnesses in their behalf. There will
be a number of witnesses summoned on
the other side OF the case from this
locality.
NO DANGER OF NoN-UNIoN MEN.
In Yesterdays Intelltqenccr reporter
felt called upon 10 waste three or four
inches of space in saying that the REG
IsTER had stated the Wheeling Creek
coal works would be started with non
union men next Monday, unless the old
miners went to work. The REGISTER
said nothing of the sort. What it did
say was that such rumor was afloat at
Wheeling creek, aud that officials would
not affirm or deny it. J. E. Waters,
of the Wheeling Creek
coal works. says that the mines will
never be run non-union as long as he
has anything 10 do with IT,
SIGNALLING TO M'CLAINEsvILLE.
The signal corps is very busy. 1t has
been at Midvale for the last few days,
but General Howe has sent for Lieu
tenant Z. 7. Miller, and this gentleman
with q part Of the corps arrived at the
camp Yesterday morning. While in the
vicinity OF Midyale, the corps estab-
Iished nine signal stations in Tuscara-
was county. Yesterday Lieutenant
Miller was very busy with force in
The forenoon, making typographical
maps Of the locality Of Camp Wheeling
