TRAINS Held Up
At MOUNDSTILLE.

day were we'll known. Their arrest is
not improbable, in due season.
The troop remained below Forty
eighth sreet until after eight O'CLOCK,
when the long train, made up OF fifteen
passenger cars, private car for head
quarters, three baggage cars and nat
car for the gatling gun, was run oack
TO the Junction for the night.
Sheriff Matthews,o of Marshall county,
stated last evening that no coal had
been run into Ohio county during the
dav, the only movements being the
trains brought up from Moundsville,
but be added that coal trains would be
moved this morning until all the cars
the Railroad Company had ready had
been gotten out of the way. The Sher-
if seemed TO think there would be
LITTLE MORE TROUBLE,
and this feeling was coucurred in by
the military officers, dozen OF them
expressing the opinion that In the tut
ure they would have no more to do than
they had been called upon to do in the
past, which was really very little, aside
from the little fare up OF Saturday
morning. Many OF the soldiers are
anxious to get back home, particularly
the Martinsburg Company, which Is
very largely made up OF railroad men,
who are losing valuable time.
The miners have been bringing d
great deal of pressure TO bear upon the
railroad men, to have them refuse to
handle coal, and at yesterdays session
of the Brotherhood of Locomotive En-
gineers at McMeChen, the matter was
brought Up. No definite action was
taken, but il seems that majority OF
the railroad engineers are not prepared
to take this step at this time, although
their sympathies are strongly with the
miners in their fight for better wages.
AS THE TROUBLE APPEARS IN CHARLES
TON.
A telegram from Charleston, last
night, reads as follows:
CHARLESTON, w. VA, June TO-
Governor MacCorkle is evidently per-
picked at the condition Of affairs at
Boggs' Run. A telegram received at II
o'clock to-day stated that coal train
had Just been brought past the strikers
without any trouble, and a dispatch re-
ceived a short while after contained the
information that train had
Just been stopped by strikers short
distance ABOVE Moundsville and that
two companies of military would be
sent at once to diSperse the mob. AT
six o'clock no intelligence OF the sue
cess or failure OF the attempt had been
received. The character Of all the in
formation which the Governor has re-
ceived to-day, up TO the re-
ceptiou OF this last tele-
gram, indicated that the trouble
had practically ended, and he hoped to
be able to withdraw the military prob
ably within a very short time. This
last outbreak, however, only confirms
mis- original view that the trouble is toe
deepseated 10 be settled by the show OF
force on the scene. He said TO the As
sociatad Press representative TO-
day. that he had eleven com
panies at Boggs' run, and that the en-
tire military force Of the State will be
used il necessary in moving coal into
Ohio and Pennsylvania. Since Adju'
tant General Holly has gone to BoggS
run his office is closed, and Governor
MacCorkle communicates with the
troops from his residence. He now has
a wire direct to BOggs' run.
