Pittsburg, Aug 7.-Strikers are cOntin-
uing orderly and gaining aceessions 70
heir ranks constantly. The $50 men en-
Iployed at the Horner and Roberts Coal
Mine at Elisabeth refused to go to work
this morning; about Is miners at the
Equitable mines in the same locality,
lso struck. Both mines were paying the
| district rate. The Bunola men who were
persuaded to come out last evening, all
emained away from the pit to-day and
10 coal was mined. The company leased
the ground where the strikers located
yesterday and ouSted them but another
| field has been secured by the strikers
which the owner refused to lease to the
company, and permanent camp will be
established.
| 1t is reported that an effort will be
made to start the mine Monday morning.
The strikers are preparing for the strug
| GLE and by 2 o'clock Monday morning
| 900 men probably will be in camp here.
This closes down all the mines OF the
first, second and third pools. Twelve
,ecruts from the Plum Greek mine join
ID the strikers to-day, and number con-
ented to remain at home When it was
| ound that but few men were going to
work at Plum Greek this morning depu-
V sheriffs were dispatched to the houses
# the men and they were drummed out
md escorted to the mine. The company
claims that this mine was working full
o-day, and that the usual amount of coal
vas loaded.
This was pay day at the Sandy Greek
| nine, and the diggers were all paid off.
| IN Monday those working in the Plum
Greek mine will receive their wages and
,n Monday evening another big meeting
| will be held at Plum Greek 1t is said
that them iners there will join the strik-
ers after Monday. No trouble is expected
! Il Plum Greek tonight, notwithstanding
he proximity Of the miners camp to the
egro quarters at Unity. The miners and
railroad laborers are not expected to af-
iliate with each other.
A special from West Newton says:
The sympathy of this entire cOmmuni-
ty is with the coal miners. The use Of a
large building on Third street has been
given free for a commissary, and the
ownspeople and farmers have cOntribut-
d provisions literally. Several hundred
dollars have also been contributed. This
warm feeling for the strikers took a sud-
den turn last night when the report was
circulated that the strikers had visited
the Troup Riarick pits in Coal Hollow
and ordered the few men working there
to stop work. These two pits have been
supplying coal for the borough electric
light and for family use, and have only
)een in operation a few weeks. The re-

here and they at once branded it as the
work of the enemy to injure their cause.
This morning they notified Troup and
Rearick that they might mine all the coal
they could. simultaneously with the
move on Westmoreland county mines
ext week, a demonstration will be made
agNBhst the Washington Run mines in
T&Eette county. 1t was near the Wash
ngton Run tipple that four striking
miners were killed and ten others hurt by
deputies two years ago"
More than 400 miners are organized
n Fayette City, and are ready to march
A committee from Fayette City will meet
Dolan tonight, and lie he consents, the
march will be made Monday. A site has
jeen selected one and a half miles from
he Sickle Hollow tipple. Being at that
distance from the mine the miners hope
o escape injunctions
The output of the De Armit mines
vas stil further reduced by no coal binE
Ikaken from the Oak Hill mine. The
hree men at work at Sandy Greek mine
have mined one gondOla car in three days.
At Plum Greek the 200 men at work
mined mined IL eondola cars Of coal.

IDak Hin mine.
Counsel for the NeW York and Cleve-
and Gas Coal Company has prepared n
bill TO be presented 20 Judge NJ. w. Ache
ION, of the United States Circuit Court,
3n behalf of the nonresident stOckhold-
trs OF the coal company, asking for an IN
Junction TO restrain the striking 1ainers
from csngregatiAg near fke mines at
I!Eurtle Greek, Sandy Greek and Plum
Idsreek, and from interfering with the
workmen of the company. This new
move Is being made for the purpose OF
aettfng the aid Of the United States Mar
Shal as we'll as the sheriff OF Allegheny
| bounty, to break up the camps the strik-
| drs have established.
| There was perpetual injunction issued
| juring the last strike of the miners by the
dounty court against men prominent in
| the present struggle, restraining them
| from congregating near the mines of the
New York & Cleveland Co., and it is
daimed that it is still in force. 1t is
tbw desired to supplement this with an
order, which if disobeyed, will result in
lie sending of United States marshals
| Ato the region N occupied by the strik-
ts, and, if ne ", United States
tkoops could also be called in. he appli-
cation for the preliminary injunction is
| kely to be made on Monday.
