KENOvA A PIVOTAL POINT.
Probable Action to Prevent Coal
ShiDmeuts Across the Bridge.


Kcnova, w. Va. July 12.-Kenova was
all excitement Saturday. The representa-
tives Of the miners in the Elkhorn and
Flat Top coalfields were comforting for
the purpose Of having the labor organl-
cations of West Virginia cooperate with
those of Kentucky, Tennessee, Ohio and
Pennsylvania. AS IN the great strike Of
three years ago, this is recognized as a
pivotal point.
As vet the miners have not moved toward
Kenova, and Coal is being daily shipped
to points in the North and Northwest. Ii
Is supposed that this can not continue
longer, and unless the situation changes
this week viii see the Norfolk and West
ern Railroad bridge which spans the Ohio
at this point patrolled by forces in the
employ of corporate interests. 1t is
thought that no call will he made for the
state militia unless the strike passes en-
tIrely from under the control of the mine
owners, and every endeavor will be made
20 keepit within bounds.
The miners in the Flat Top aud Elkhorn
fields, as well as at Thacker, have to this
time been satisfied, but the pressure
brought 20 bear from the out side of the
State has been too great. and the conse-
quence is that at least 10000 men will
demand higher wages
Saturday the town was full Of men
seemingly of determination rs well AS ties-
peration. who came from all points ON
the Norfolk and Western Railroad. 1T is
impossible to surmise what will be the next
step. Both sides are alert that no decisive
advantage may be taken by either.

Cinematographe at River View.


The exhibitions OF Lumieres Cfnemat-
ographe at River View last night. together
with wish to escape the heat OF the city,
sent about 800 persons TO River View
yesterday, all the trips OF the steamer
Pentz being well crowded. The various
attractions at the View and the fine
AFTERNOON and evening concerts afforded
much pleasure to all. The Cine rnato-
graphe exhibition took place on the large
dancing pavilion, at one end of which
a screen had been placed for the photo
graphs. Some twenty-five views, in
Guiding charges by cavalry forces OF the
French and German nrmies, street scenes
in Paris, French bathing scene, in which
dives are made from spring boards into
the water and then back again upon the
the springboard, were all excellent; but
scene at the corner OF Broadway and
Wall street New York, and 'Baby's
Breakfast and "Babyls First Sleep"
seemed To catch the fancy OF the audi
ence and were warmly applauded. The
photographs were most lfe-like IN their
action, the people, etc, on the screen
moving TO and fro and ma king 10 hard to
realize that 1t was nothing but picture.
So great was the SUCCESS of the eNhibi-
ton that Capt. T.. $. Randall, proprietor
OF River View, has arranged with the
manager of the Cinefnatesraphe 10 give a
series of exhibitionsliat the View during
the coming months, send the next eNhibi

A shocking feature OF the murder OF the
