pitteburg. Aug. H.-Martial law has to
~ intarts and purposes been declared in
Dim, Patton and wilkins townships by
Sheriff Lowrey.
The three mines of the New York ana
Cleveland Gas Company are in this town
.ht, and all roads leading to them will
bs natroued by his deputies. Persons
waking or driving along the roads who
oornot give a satisfactory account of him
sslf ar herself. will be ordered to leave
tsa neigbborhood, and upon refusal will
be arrested.
The sheriff will not attempt to break
nm tbe camp of the strikers until the court
has passed on the question, but announced
+o-aa9, that ii is determined to stop the
marching and trespassing on the compa-
n,,s nroperty.N No one will be allowed on the
oo,,ranv's property who fails to have a
mass signed by Supt DeArmit There are
now nearly 500 men in the camp at Plum
creek After the murder at Sandy creek
Yesterday the camp at that point was
abandoned and the men went to Plum
creek
In addition 200 men arrived this morning
from Belle Vernon. The large increase in
the number in camp has caused a shortage
of provisions and the men are hungry.
There were twenty-five evictions near
Plum Creek during the day of striking
miners. The eviction began yesterday.
Passengers on the noon train from
Piusburg to Turtle Creek say a man who
gave his name as John Monroe and said
he was from Osceola mine, announced he
was going TO kill Samuel DeArmit. The
claim is made that there are number of
anarchists iu the vicinity of the mines who
are after the DeArmits. They are not in
the camp, however.
The contemplated plan to have the wo-
men make marches, which was to have
been inausurated to-day, has been def
nitely decided upon by the leaders, and the
wives and daughters of the strikers will
now take up the work which the men have
been enjoined from doing. 1t is the in
tenton 10 begin tomorrow and have the
women DO the marching While the men
remain I'm camp.
The leaders think the injunctions are
not operative against women. A new ele-
ment Is to be introduced in the situation
at an early date. The farmers of the en-
tire country surrounding the several
camps are making extensive preparations
Ior demonstration, to show their SYM
tathy for the strikers. They propose to
nave a parade headed by a band, and
mdfch down the road and up over the
nils. There viii be no ION to the mines
sentiment or any effort to get the miners
Out NO missionary work is to be at
tempted. The demonstration is purely for
'Ae purpose of showing sympathy for the
strikers
The preparations for the event have
been carried on secretly, but the story was
gwen out tonight by one of the prime
movers. He says the class of men who
NIu compose the parades have no fear of
interference and will not disband at the
command of a few deputies.
