MILITIA IN ANTHRACITE REGION.
Whole Pennsyivanls Guard Now In
Strike Section-strikers Not
Disposed to Annoy Them.

Philadelphia, Oct. 9.-The entire
national guard of Pennsylvania was
camped last night in the anthracite
coal regions, the last regiment from
the western part of the state having
arrived late yesterday afternoon.
Contrary to expectations the troops
were well received and there was nc
disposition on the part of the strik
ers to annoy the soldiers. There was
only one instance during the day OF
any show of feeling, and this was
manifest at Bethlehem, when some
boys stoned the second section OF ths
train bearing the First regiment from
Philadelphia.
Universal quiet reigned throughout
the entire region. Brigadier General
Schall, who arrived in Tamaqua yes
terday afternoon. telegraphed to Ma
jor General Miller that there was nc
disturbance of any kind In the dis
trict. The soldiers who arrived yes
terday were all scattered throughout
Schuylkill. Luzerne. Carbon and
Northumberland counties.
Who're Troops Are Placed.
The first brigade is quartered as
follows:
First regiment and detail Of Bat
terry A, at Hazleton; Second regiment
and detail of Battery A, New Phil
adelphia; Third regiment, Miners.
Vile; Sixth regiment and City Troop
at Tamaqua. The latter organizations
will take care OF the operations in the
Panther Creek valley.
The second brigade is quartered as
follows: Tenth regiment, Shamokin ;
Fourteenth regiment, Mahanoy City;
Fifth regiment, Ashland; Eighteenth
regiment, Shenandoah.
The fact that all the locals through.
out the anthracite region have voted
unanimously to continue the strike
would indicate that the presence of
the troops will have but little effect
upon forcing the men to return to
work, and from present indications
1t would seem that the settlement OF
the strike ID no nearer solution than
it has been for many weeks.

The Big Whale.

1t draws crowds. We find many
of our best citizens winding their
way to the public landing to view
the monster. 1t has been a great at
traction in other cities and no doubt
will be in this. To behold a genuine
Whale is sight very few people
ever had an opportunity to do even
on the sea coast and it is still more
rare to see one so far from the ocean
as this, but never the less hy walk
ing to the landing you will find on
the decks OF peculiar looking boat
whale in length 65 feet, and when
captured weighing rs tons. The
monster has many very interesting
points Of interest to lovers of natur-
al history and is well worth going
miles to see. Pay the monster a
visit and you will never regret it.

TWO CENTS
UNIQUE SCHEME.
Wabash will lift Trains in their
Entirety.

Wild-Eyed Story about how that Road
is to get over Mountain In the In
terror of the State-Electric Hoist
to be Used.
The following story about the plans
of the wabash may not be true as
1t should be but it at least has the
merit Of being interesting:
A tremendous enterprise is contem-
plated by the Gould or Wabash system
on the line of the West Virginia Gen.
trail Railroad. Plans have been
drawn,by which it is expected to lit
whole trains loaded with coal or mer.
chandise up the side OF precipitous
slope OF the Great Backbone Mountain
in Tucker county, by means of cleo
trio power, and by that method make
a double track road with an easy down
| grade both ways. The plan, which is
said to have been thoroughly worked
out by the engineering corps of the
railroad, is most remarkable one In
many ways. AT present the line go
ing westward, after leaving Cumber-
land runs through Keyser, Piedmont.
and Fairfax, and thus on into the
Blackwater Canyon, where the scenery
is wild and magnificent but where il
is impossible to maintain more than a
single track. From Fairfax down on
through this deep gorge the road de.
sends steep grade TO Hendricks.
and then makes detour to Parsons.
and thence Or up slight grade TO
Elkins. Thus it can be seen that
there is big handicap at present
with one-track road through the
gorge sand tremendous grade COM
ing east. At first, it Is understood.
1t was planned to make a considerable
detour around the mountain range SO
as to get an even grade. To do this
the line would have to follow to
Cheat River and extend from Fairfax
to Hendricks, and this would involve
great loss of time. To overcome
this, 1t is stated, 1t was decided to use
the present gorge route for the west
bound trains and build an unique east
bound track. It would be possible to
have a double track roadA on fair
grade from Elkins to Parsons, and
there the trains would run on plat
form. 1t is then proposed to have
this entire platform and its freight,
full train, move by electric power
up tremendous grade right to the
highest elevation on the mountains.
From that point an easy down grade
can be found on the other side all the
way to Fairfax.
The operation OF this great plat
form is, Of course, gigantic uncer-
taking, but it is believed that it can
be successfully worked. The whole
would be operated by electric power
To provide this power the large plant
of the railroad at Coketon would be
drawn upon. The electric pant at
that place at present supplies electric
lighting and power for large terrific
ry and furnishes electricity for the
mines. There would Ibe ample power,
however, it is said to move the plat.
form and its freight up sharp In
cline to height Of about / 900 feet.

New FORK, Oct. 9.-President John
Mitchell of the United Mine Workers
association, arrived at the PennsyI
vania depot in Jersey City last night
having come on a Lehigh Valley train
from Wilkesbarre, Pa. With him
were District Presidents Nichols,
Fahy and Duffy. They went immedi
ately to the Ashland house, this city.
At 10 o'clock Mr.. Mitchell called ur
Wilkesbarre by telephone, the reason
being that he had expected some tele
grams which he did not find awaitins
him. Shortly after this he turned to
the newspaper men and said:
Men Resolved to Remain Out.
Information has been conveyed to
me by phone that a total of 260 local
unions have reported unanimous
votes against resuming work. The
men are not deferred from going to
work through any fear of bodily
harm, but are resolved to remain ou!
until the differences between them and
the operators are arbitrated, or unit,
they are ordered to return by their
leaders.
This leaves not more than 40 OF
so local unions to hear from yet. The
unanimous action includes the votes
of strikers not members of the union
but who we're present at the meetings
and voted with the union men"
At IL o'clock President Mitchell
and two Of the district presidents
went from the Ashland house to the
Fifth Avenue hotel, where Senators
Quay and Penrose, of Pennsylvania
and Louis N. Hammerling, of wilkes
barre, Pa, were registered.
Mitchell, Quay and Penrose Confer.
President Mitchells conference with
Senators Quay and Penrose lasted for
an hour and three-quarters. At its
conclusion Mr.. Mitchell returned to
the Ashland house. He declined to
say word as to his talk with the
senators, and the latter left word
with the clerk at the Fifth Avenue
hotel that they would not see anyone
instructing the clerk to refuse the
cards of any persons who might wish
to interview them.

Only One Idle Mine.

CHARLESTON, w. Va Oct. 9.-Work
at all but one of the II mines of the
Kanawha & Hooking Coal Company
was resumed today. The only idle
mine is at Shrewsbury, where extern
sive repairs are being made. The rail-
road crews that have laid off for sever
al months during the strike were all
called into service to-day and all is
hustle and activity along the line.
The general sentiment is that the
long drawn out struggle is drawing to
a close and will soon be thing of the
past. The action of the miners 10
convention at Montgomery on Satur-
day, in accepting the terms offered
them by the Kanawha & Hooking
people and declaring the strike of,
has had the effect of producing de
sire for resumption among the other

WABASH is AFTER COAL.
Buying Large Blocks of Land and
Building Branch Lines to Tap Those
Fields-LOcating Mines.

The indications are that the Wa
bash railroad will become not only
one of the great trunk line roads,
but one of the great coal-carriers OF
the country. 1t is said to be secur-
ing large tracts of coal lands in
Pennsylvania, West Virginia and
Ohio, says the Pittsburg Times. A
recent purchase in the latter State
amounts to $4,000 acres in one
block. On this tract nine drills are
now working, seeking the best Ioca-
tons for the opening of mines. The
coal is along the short road between
Palos and Marietta, which was re-
Gently acquired by the Wabash.
The Wabash is now building line
into Southeastern Ohio, where it
will tap rich coal field in Jefferson
county. The Wabash is also build
ing line eight miles long from
Steubenville to Toronto, O., to reach
large sewer pipe factories at the lat
ter place. The Buckhannon and
Northern road, recently surveyed
down the west side of Tygarts Val
ley river, from Buckhannon to Graf
ton, in West Virginia, is being built
as feeder to the Wabash, for an
outlet to some of the big coal fields
in Taylor and Barbour counties.
The branch will connect with the
main line of the Wabash, six miles
south of Buckhannon. The entire
right of way has been secured from
Pittsburg, through Greene county,
to Morgantowp, for another line.
