SPRINGFIELD, ILL.,, June 12.-The gov
ernor on Monday about o'clock issued
an order withdrawing the First regi
ment from Pana. This action was
taken on recommendation of the
sheriff, who, with Hugh Bayle, as
sistant adjutant general, had consult
ed both with the strikers and the local
miners and concluded there was no
danger. The adjutant general has
shipped fifty rifles to Peoria on requi-
sition of the sheriff.
INDIANAPOLIS, Ind, June 12-Gov.
Matthews has ordered that four of the
twelve companies of militia stationed
in Sullivan county be sent home.
The remaining companies will be
kept in the field for several days, al
though the citizens of Sullivan county
have assured the governor that they
will see to it that no more lawless acts
are committed. Already the sending
of militia into the mining district has
cost the state about SIC, 900. There is
no fund available for the payment of
the expenses and it is expected that
some of the politicians will endeavor
to prevent the next Legislature from
making an appropriation to pay the
bills.

copy of this verdict was forwarded to

missal from prison everything is quiet.
! About $500 has been raised by the sus-

HARRISBURG, Pa, June 12.-Gov. Pat
tison issued a proclamation to the
sheriff of Jefferson county Monday
night, setting out the riotous occur
rences there and warning the citizens
of the county against any further
demonstration, ordering them to dis
perse, and warning them that their
persistency in violence would compel
the intervention of the state with mill
tary force to quell it.
| MAssLLoN, O.. June 12.-The seat
of disorder seems to have been trans
ferred from Belmont to Stark county,
81 miles northward, and the miners
have agreed to give the railroads so
much mileage to protect that it will be
impossible to continue the traffic.
Early in the morning short trestle
bridge on the Wheeling & Lake Erie
rail way, miles northwest of Mas
sillon, was blown up with giant
powder and the ruins burned. The
road was not expecting trouble, as it
ceased to handle West Virginia coal
over week ago. On Sunday, how
ever, five carloads of coal were for
warded from the Massillon yards to
Norwalk for the use of the locomotives,
and this led to the destruction of the
bridge. The road is blocked and can
not be opened for hours. Another
small bridge was destroyed during the
morning on the Cleveland, Canton IL
Southern railroad, just north of Ma
varre. Six hundred Massillon miners
met at Millport Sunday night, and re-
solved to ask the railway operatives to
refuse to handle the West Virginia

with no opposition, owing to their
number. The men were brought here
during the afternoon and returned to
their houses at Leisenring No. q
When found they were chalk-marked
from head to foot and were worn and
haggard. They were taken away from
Lemont Sunday while the trouble was
in progress and marched to Cool Spring
where they were turned over to the
strikers from the Stewart iron works
and there kept and paraded until the
leaders learned that the officers had
located them. Then they were taken
to the southern end and handed over
from one crowd to another until
landed in the strikers camp al
Kyle. The kidnapping is denounced
by all as the most atrociou'
and fendish act in the history
of the movement, and the fac
