ST. JOSEPH. No., June 2-As a direct
result of the high water in the Missouri
river. which will not begin to recede for
some time. the once prosperous village Of
Winthrop. thirty miles south of ST JOS
eph on the Rock Island, Hannibal and St
Joseph. Missouri Pacific, and Kansas City,
ST. Joe and Council Bluffs railroads, will
soon be wiped off the face of the earth.
The Missouri river, when its spring rise
began this year, commenced cutting the
bank at the edge of the town and adjacent
to 1t and today half OF the place was melted
into the river, together with half dozen
farms OF 100 acres each. The channel of
the river was half a mile west of Winthrop
last year but today that channel is a sand
bar and the new channel occupies what
was once the main street of the village
The water Is now within few rods of the
tracks of the four companies which are
parallel with each other at that point, and
is rapidly eating its way into the railroad
right-of-way. and all four companies are
preparing to abandon their road beds and
enter Atchison from point further north.
In such an event the $1,000 railroad
bridge connecting Winthrop aud A:chison
will have to be abandoned.
Winthrop, which was a town of I, 500
people, has already lost half its popula-
ton. and as the houses cannot be sold they
are being torn down and carried into the
country. The work of demolishing the
Methodist church, structure which cost
$4,000 year ago, is now going on, it hav-
ing been sold for $50 to farmer who will
use its material to make a barn. The
river is within few feet of it aud unless
be can finish by tomorrow it will be car
ried away. Farmers who own farms val
ued at s.. 900 aud $4,000 two mouths ago
are without an acre of ground today.

COLORADO SPRINGS, Colo, Jund 2.-The
city is in Very excited state over the pros
poets of an early battle between the miners
at Bull Hill and sheriff's army now
camped at Divide. Today $50 deputies
left the city on street cars for Manitou
where they boarded Midland train for
the camp and tonight 200 more went over
the same route. This last reinforcement
was accompanied by corps of surgeons
and enough supplies to last them several
days. There are now 200 armed deputies
at Divide. The march against the miners
camp will not be made until the number
is increased to LOCO.
The miners union at Cripple Creek to-
day issued a statement giving their side of
the trouble between the miners and mine
owners.
1t recites that in January there were
forty-nine producing mines in the camp;
that of these thirty-eight were working
eight hour shifts, nine working nine hours
and the balance 10 hours, all for So. 90 per
day.
The miners gave notice that on January
Goth they would demand uniform wages OF
So for a day of eight hours work. On Feb.
ruary l, j. j. Hagerman posted notices on
all his properties that from that date on,
nine hours would be required for So a day,
and 50 70 would be paid for eight hours.
The union refused to accept Mr.. Hager-
mans proposition. An arbitration COM
mittee was appointed. but the owners re-
fused to meet the miners and lock out
was ordered. The miners claim that the
present trouble has been brought about by
the hiring of deputies and Pinkertons by

READY FOR THE FRAY.
Strikers at Cripple Creek Determined to
Advance on Deputies.

CRIPPLE CREEK, Colo, June Every
thing remains qniet upon the surface here.
There is continual stream of citizens
making their way out of the district and
business is coming more and more to a
stsndstill. The miners are constantly
drilling in the use of both light arms and
artillery. as well as in regular military
tactics, under the command of General
johnson, the West Point graduate.
Large numbers union miners are said to
be coming in and the miners claim Co be
in far better condition for a battle now
than at any time before. There has been
no mail received in camp since Tuesday
night, and all the telegraph wires are
down. 1t is claimed that the strikers are
responsible for this latter condition. The
only communication with the outside
world is over single shaky telephone wire
by means of which this dispatch is sent
out, and at any moment this is liable to
60 down.
The strikers have determined to make
IN advance upon the deputies.

NOT MUCH HOPE.
Conference Between Gov. Waite an,
Mine Owners Promises Little.

COLORADO SPRINGS, Colo, June 2-The
conference between Governor Waite and
the mine owners will. in all probability,
amount to nothing, The conference began
ut o'clock this afternoon aud reassem bled
tonight. and at this hour. 1890 o'clock. is
still in progress. Governor Waite de-
manded that all strikers should be grant.
ed immunity from prosecution for past
acts, and there is no likelihood that the
owners will consent to this proposition.
John Calderwood, president OF the min
ers union, is here but sat in a seperate
room in the Colorado college, where the
conference was held. While there Deputy
United States Marshal Wire approached
him and thrust a document into his hands
but neither would divulge its contents. 1t
is believed the paper is a citation from the
federal courts issued at the instance of the
Raven mining company. Citizens swarmed
Rbout the college building during both
afternoon and night sessions.
The people did not harm Calderwood
but his arrest or worse was prevented only
by police interference.

CLASH OF ARMS IMMINENT.
Indiana Safe Troops Ordered Out
Strikers Organized and Defiant.

INDIANAPOLIS. June Fifteen COM
panies of the state militia, infantry, and a
squad Of artillerymen with Calling gun
have gone to Cannellburg and Shelburn to
suppress the rioting of the striking coal
miners. Four in the artillery and one
company from Anderson under the COM
mand of Adjutant General Robbins left
here at Z o'clock tonight for Cannellburg
They will be joined at Seymour by other
companies The strikers are defiant and
trouble is expected. At Shelburn the sit
uation is serious. The sheriff attempted,
with the assistance of a strong posse, to
move coal cars side tracked there, but was
driven away By the strikers.
The news Of the governors ordering out
the militia was received with defiance and
the strikers declare they are prepared to
whip any force the government sends.
They are armed and it is said are well sup
piled with giant powder with which they
threaten to blow up any train which at
tempts to bring soldiers into their midst.
Col. w. j. Mckee, of this city has left for
Sheiburn. He will meet companies COM
prising about 100 men.
The feeling at Terre Haute. point in
tonch with the miners troubles, is that the
force ordered out is insufficient and that
bloodshed cannot be avoided. When the
militia arrived at Cannellburg the rail
road company began nnmOlested to repair
damages done its tracks aud will soon be
able to run trains through.
