TRAINS STOPPED.
BALTIMORE, June 5.-A special to the
News from Wheeling, Va, says: The
Belmont miners made bold move last
night, when several stopped coal train
west bound on the Baltimore s. Ohio at
Franklin station, west of Bellaire. A
large number of miners congregated
there this morning, and Sheriff Scott is
now there. Stoppage of the Baltimore
q Ohio shuts off the last channel of the
West Virginian coal to the lakes.
An attempt was made to blow up
Mocum'S mine, east of this place, last
night. The damage was slight. The
miners at Bridge No. 2. on the c., l.. &
W., west of Bridgeport. were again
heavily reinforced today, and now
number over LOCO. The men are as
determined as ever that no coal trains
shall be hauled. 1t is not ex-
pected that the company will make any
effort today. as no appeal as yet has
been made to the governor. and with
out troops nothing can be done. Over
1900 cars of Monongahela are blocked
in the BeDwood & Michigan yards on
account of the tie-up.

TRAINS FIRED INTO.
MARION. ILL.,, June 5.-There is any
amount of treble in sight at the Carter
vile mines tonight. The strikers are
growing bolder and more threatening
every hour. Today the north-bound
freight train on the Short Line, which
was carrying eight cars of Ohio
river coal from Brooklyn to st.
Louis, was fired into by the mob
of strikers. The sheriff wired the gov
eraor. making an earnest appeal for
trunes. Gov. Altgeld finally yielded,
anu otdered Col. Smith. of the Fourth
regiment, to proceed TO Carterville at
oRce with three companies. These
soldiers will reach Carterville in the
morning.
During the afternoon the governor
sent very caustic message to the
sheriff intimatfng that he was try
ing to shift responsibility onto
the state, and saying If he
could not perform his duties he would
better resign. The sheriff returned a
reply equally warm. telling the governor
that lie was responsible for most of the
trouble in the state, aud that. II he
would resign or 60 away and let the
lieutenant governor run things, peace
would be established very soon.
