made at several places to-day. At Man
owan the Youghiogheny Gas and Coal
Company put In their mines 100 deputies
heavily armed TO protect the non-unlon
men who went 10 work. An outbreak is
expected in the morning. when the strik-
ers claim they will have at least l.000
men on hand at daybreak. They have
been thrown into the widest excitement
by the arrival of imported men and dep
uties.
TROOPS ASKED FOR.
CAMBRIDGE (O.), June G.-The situa-
ton here tonight is very serious. The
miners are determined that no more coal
shipments shall pass them. One coal
train slipped through by running OH a
passenger train schedule. When the
passenger train followed the miners
tagged it. They were very angry over
being fooled by the engineer of the coal
train. The passenger train got through.
but it received volley of stones, all the
windows being broken. The passengers,
however, had been warned, and were not
hurt. The mob then became so desperate
as to alarm the citizens, and Sheriff
Mason has asked Governor Mckinley to
send troops.
TROUBLE IN WEST VIRGINIA.
KANovA (W. Va.), June GA guard Of
200 men was placed at the bridge en-
frances tonight. At midnight they were
compelled to ire into crowd of men
who approached suspiciously from tho
Ohio side, and two men are reported
killed and a number wounded. A miner
says the killed were John kebler and an
Englishman named Redmond. The
trouble is yet going on.
SITUATION AT CRIPPLE CREEK.
CRIPPLE CREEK, June 6.-There will
10 NO n Y1JO N
miners on Bull Hill and the army OF
Deputy Sheriffs who are now encamped
on Beaver Creek, less than five miles
from Bull Hill, unless treacherous
move is made by one side or another.
The aspect of affairs was decidedly war
like until o'clock this afternoon. Al
though the deputies cut all the telegraph
lines between this city and Midland, the
miners were quickly informed by their
scouts of the advance OF the Sherih's
force, and prepared for battle. They were
willing to surrender to the militia, but
declared that they would never submit
to arrest until after the troops arrived.
Mayor Lindsay and President Parker
of the First National Bank called upon
Sheriff Bowers by telephone and begged
him to stop the deputies until the troops
could reach the camp. The Sheriff adj
hered to this, and there is every reason to
tilities. Alexander Mcintosh, represent
ing the miners, announced that they
would lay down their arms Immediately
on the arrival of the State troops. The
deputies will follow the troops to the
miners camp and serve warrants, which
they are said to hold, for 200 strikers.
TRINIDAD (Col.), June 6.-Over 1000
striking coal miners marched from here
to-day to Sopris, where they were met by
Il i l,<l
the company's grounds. Only sixty men
were working in the Sopris mines to-day.
CoAL-BINs GETTING EMPTY.
CHICAGO, June 6.-Unless there are i'm
mediate large shipments of coal to this
port by rail, vessel men declare that the
next two or three days will witness the
tying up of a large number OF steamers.
There is not a good days supply on hand,
and it is asserted that the supply stored
in the larger vessels would be exhausted
in the next two days. The steamship
companies are not the only sufferers from
this source. Several large concerns in the
city which had coal consigned to them
have never received it, and, what is more,
never will, for the reason that it had been
shoveled into the furnaces of locomotives
long before the way bill reached its desti-
nation. Lake Superior ports are said to
be wholly without coal. Many of the big
steamers have made experiments with
wood for fuel, and some have made a
trial of anthracite coal. The only persons
who are enjoying themselves owing to
the coal famine are the owners of sail
ing vessels, who suddenly find them
selves placed on an equality with the
great steamers.
Never was there time in the history
of the city when the coal bins were so
near cleaned UP of bituminous coal as at
the present. There is certainty that the
supply on hand will be exhausted before
any more is shipped into the city, and it
is said that many factories and places OF
business will be compelled to shut down
and lay off their forces.
A COAL FAMINE.
FAIRBURY qll.). June Ga coal famine
in this section is now at its hight and will
remain so as long as the miners refrain
from working. All the tile factories have
been compelled to suspend for want OF
fuel, and tho number of families COM
pletely out of work and food is growing
worse every day. The Wabash Railroad
is only running those trains which they
are bound to run, and these engines are
fired with slack, which heretofore was
used for ballasting. The road not being
able to run their full schedule of trains,
their list Of employees has been reduced
in all branches.
