CHARLESTON (W. Va, March g.
Everything remained quiet at Eagle last
night. 1t was rumored to-day that the
strikers were concentrating near Fayette-
vile for an attack on the jail, to iberate
the strikers confined there. Two Cat
lings and large supply of ammunition
were sent to Eagle.
The latest intelligence is that large bod
les of strikers are moving from Mont
gomery and Mount Carbon toward Fay
etteville.
The Governor informed the Associ-
ated Press tonight that he has no appre-
hension of further trouble among the
Manawha miners. The officers are con-
tinually making arrests, and have the
trouble well in hand. -Four more arrests
have been made, making a total of
twenty-seven strikers apprehended. The
preliminary examination of Wyant

Fayetteville. The Calling guns which
were taken to Eagle to-day have been
placed in position there, and, it is
thought, will have good effect in quiet

is undoubtedly true that in many house

mashed or plain boiled for dinner was
the logical course of table events in al
