twelve coaches. In the train vas the
special of Manager Woodford. with Su-
perintendent Philip Bruner and others.
Ii was the order that when the troops
should reach Uhrichsvile they would
await the orders Of Sheriff Adams,
of Tuscarawas county. 1t is
thought he will send them at once to
Midvale, where the bridge was burned
Yesterday. To reach the point where
General Howe expects they will be
stationed, owing TO the burning OF the
bridge. the troops will have to march
three miles. When they left it was ex-
peeted they would be at Midvale before
noon to-day.
This leaves at Camp Wheeling Creek
the Sixteenth Regiment and battery
D. There are now at the camp at
Wheeling Creek LOCO men. General
Howe remained in the camp back OF
Bridgeport, where he has his hesquar-
ters, and at o'clock last night had rot
been notified officially that the strike
had been settled. He said, however,
that if the strike was settled the
troops would be at once Withdrawn,
and judging from this the camp at
Wheeling Creek will probably be
vacated to-day.
NEWS OF THE SETTLE MENT.
Manager Woodford had not been not
fled that the strike was settled at 9
o'clock last night, just before he. left
for Uhrichsville He blames Sheriff
Adams, of Tuscarawas county, as he
notified him last Saturday to keep a
particular guard over the bridge which
was burned Yesterday.
When the news that the strike was
settled came, a REGISTER reporter in
terviewed several of the employees OF
the Wheeling Creek coal mines. Some
were in favor OF accepting a sixty-cent
rate, aud others say they will not
go to work for less than seventy cents,
which was the stand OF Local No. ID.
1t is thought, however, that they will
decide to 20 TO work.
News that the strike was settled
caused general rejoicing in Bridgeport.
Word comes from Flushing that the
miners and citizens have boarded up
all the wells, so that the soldiers have
a hard time getting water. 1t Is re-
ported that one of the soldiers had a
bad spell of sickness, thought TO be
poisoning from drinking water from a
spring near the camp.
A RUMOR WHICH Is PROBABLY INCORRECT
In the afternoon yesterday, it is said,
the miners OF Barton, Maynard and
Flushing said they would not so to work
even if the strike were settled for less
than seventy cents ton for their labor.
The miners OF Wheeling Creek works
and other mines in the vicinity joined
the strike for a restoration OF wages
from forty ceuts ton to seventy.
TRAIN HELD UP.
A telegram from Midvale to the REG
IsTER says
shortly before noon to-day crowd
Of from three TO four hundred striking
miners held up north-bound coal train
on the Cleveland, Lorain and Wheeling
road at this place. The conductor, en-
gineer and brakeman of the train were
told they would be given five minutes
to side track the coal and leave. The
miners were armed and in an ugly mood.
The crew did not stop to argue the
question with the strikers, but pulled
the coal train in on siding, uncoupled
the engine and went back down the
road. No troops have arrived as yet,
and the strikers declare they will not
permit coal trains to be run"
TROUBLE AT sTILLwATER.
A telegram from New Philadelphia
says
THE miners at Goshen have threat.
ened TO burn Saltwater bridge tonight
if the coal is moved. The Sheriff says
he cannot protect bridges and tracks
without soldiers. None are here yes.
There are about eight hundred miners
at Goshen"
A MINERS MEETING AT MAssILLoN.
A Cleveland telegram says
The Massillon miners held a big
meeting in an open field last night, at
which it was decided that coal trains
should be held up and everything posi-
BILE done to prevent fuel being sen into
Cleveland. A spy in the employ Of the
Railway Company was discovered by
the strikers TO be present at
the meeting listening TO
what was said The miners
attacked the man and he only escaped
after receiving some very rough hand
ling. The railroad people anticipate
trouble in the vicinity of UhriGhsyille
and Midvale to-day and the troops are
being concentrated at these points. The
Company succeeded in getting about
two hundred cars of coal over the road
to Lorain yesterday. A large force OF
men are repairing the bridge which was
partly burned at Midvale last night and
the coal trains will again be started
out as soon as this work is completed. "
A WHEELING AND LAKE ERIE BRIDGE
BLOWN UP.
A Cleveland telegram says:-
Early this morning short trestle
bridge on the Wheeling and Lake Erie
railroad, located at East Greenyille
mine, five miles northwest OF Massillon,
was blown up with giant powder and
the ruins then burned. The Wheeling

Virginia coal over week ago. The
