 Now Quiet,

Virdon, Ills, Oct. I4.-Ten killed and 20 wounded, seriously, is tho result of Wednesdays riot here.
 The town is as quiet as country churchyard. Two Gatling guns of the Galesburg battery are on the public square aud bluecaped infantryman at each corner of the business district is about the only evidence of Wednesdays riot outside of the O'Neill home, story and half cottage. In the front yard of this humble home stands i've black covered collins, and on each is simple plate on which is engraved the words, tat rest. Under the lids are the mor- tal remains of five victims of the battle at the stockade of the Chnago. Yirden Goal company. They are;
 Ernest Kitterly of Mt. Olive, Ellis Smith of Mt. Olive, Ernest Keutner of Nit. Olive, Ed Wetz of Springfield and William Blue of Springfield
 Coroner Hart has impanelled jury, and will endeavor to place the responsi- bility for the shooting.
 Colonel Mcknight of the governors s staff, accompanied by Adjutant General Reese, visited the stoekade of the Chi. cago-yirden Coal company, and served formal notice on Manager Lukens, who has been inside the stockade throughout the trouble, that the soldiers would visit the stockade and disarm all the inmates. Colonel Mcknight says no objections were offered to this proposition. He an ticipates no trouble on that noint, and he expresses the opinion that tEele will be no further outbreak on the part of either the union miners or the guards at the stockade.
 Colonel Mcknight said he drove over from his home in Girard Wednesday night and on the way he passed numer. ous squads of miners returning to their homes in Girard, Mt Olive and neigh boring towns.
 While martial law has not yet been declared, the town is virtually under the control of state troops, under Captain Craig, of battery B, First Illinois artil- lery.
 Adjutant General Reese expects troops A, B, 0 and D, First Illinois cavalry, and four companies of the Sons of Vete- rans from Rockford, Oregon and Ma comb. On their arrival special guards at the stock yards will be disarmed and the soldiers will take possession.
 There is a feeling among the people Of the town who are not connected with the mines that the Virden miners are not responsible for Wednesdays trage- dy. One citizen expressed his views in very emphatic manner, saying that all the trouble has been caused by outsiders who came here to induce the local strik- CTS to violence. A striking incident bears out this statement, for 1t is fact that in the bloody work not a single Virden miner was killed, and only one slightly injured.
 There was a report on the streets that 100 negroes at Pana had been killed and one shaft burned. The report came from Springfield, but was only rumor
 Notwithstanding a raw, cold wind swept the dust in binding clouds through the streets, crowds began to congregate today i'll the vicinity of the public square. The people, howey- CT, were kept moving by the soldiers patrolling the streets.
 An incident showing the intense feel ing of the miners developed when word was passed that man from tEe stock ade was in barbershop on Jackson street near the square. In few mo- ments crowd gathered in front of the place. The news was passed by the soldiers on picket duty to headquarters and endorsements wero sent double quick and dispersed the gathering there. The man returned to the stoskade un- molested.
