'A THE SrORM CENli~ Ot tbe (jrcMt Coal Strike Likely to be Located Here.

The very large number of empty coal cars being sent into the Fairmont coal ' field by the Baltimore & Ohio road showw that the operators of that region arc I preparing to supply in part at least the i tremendous demand for ooal that has ] followed {he declaration of the strike by l the United Mine Workers. Thee yeard i ago a similar condition prevailed, and i the result was the stopping of coal trains on the Baltimore & Ohio. Wheel- ' Ing & L&ke Erie and Cleveland. Lorain & Wheeling railroads, over In Belmont and Jefferson counties. This year It was at first thought that there would be lit- ' tie or no trouble In this vicinity, but tho < calling out of a force of deputy marshals ' st the reqoeat of the receivers of the i Wheeling & Lake Erie, as detulled be- i low, shows that the striking miners?or i their friends?are In no humor to stand ] idly by and set* the effectiveness of the , strike broken either by new men taking their places or through the passage of , the West Virginia coal through to the lakes. The coal from Fairmont has not yet begun to pass through on the Baltimore & Ohio und the two other roads mentioned, but it will begin coming this week, and then It will bo seen -whether j or not the temperate and peaceful counsels of the officers of the United Mine Workers carry the desired weight with ' Its members. From the expressions heard among the miners over tho river tho fear Is becoming general that there will be trouble nlong the three roads mentioned. It is hoped on all sides, however, that the miners will follow tho counsels of their leaders and refrain , from any and all Acts of violence. DILLON VALE* COMES" OUT. The Lour Hun Mlntrt Force the .Men One on Hlrlke at Dlllouvalc?Pick Handle* * auit Clnba Uaeit. Arrived with clubs and pick handles, the striking coal miners at Long Run matched in a body to the Dlllonvale mines yesterday and ordered the miners to come out, und they marohed out to a man. The minora at Long Run came ; out when ordered to do no with the other* miners in the United States, but the miners employed at Dlllonvale re- , fused to come out. saying they would keep at work, and they worked on Monday and. part of Tuesday, until they were forced out by the Long Run miners. When the people at Dlllonvale saw the Long Run miner** marching to the .Dlllonvale mines on Tuesday It was , feared that there would be bloodshed, but everything passed off without a single blow. The United States marshals and their deputies have received orders to proceed to Dlllonvale at once, and they will arriv ? to-day to carry out the order of the United States court to prevent violence. Just what will be done after the arrival of the United States marshals Is not known. Deputies will be distributed along the Wheeling & Lake Erie railroad wherever necessary. The miners at Dlllonvale and Long Run are on the Wheeling & Lake Erie and these, together with the'other bJg mines on this railroad, ar.' all operated by one company, which, together with the railroad. Is In the hands of Myron T. Her rick and Robert Bllchensderfer, receivers. The Incident at Dlllonvale on Tuesday 1b the nearest to serious trouble that hart yet occurred on tho Wheeling & Lake Erie railroad and It Is hoped that these matters ran be amicably adjusted and without violence. WHEELING CHEEK MEN STRIKE. The Action Tnkeit nt tlictr .Meeting Yeatrr ?iny Allrriioou. The Wheeling creek mine workers held a meeting yesterday afternoon In Miner*' hall. Went Bridgeport. The organization is known as Local Union No. 13, of the United Mine Workers. The object of the meeting was to discuss and ' vote on tho question of Joining the strike. The result was to .uistuln the etrlk" No men were at work in the creek mlues yesterday and will not be to-day. JUDGE TAFT'S OBDEB. A Force of Deputy MitralmU to tir Plnceri i at nillnuvnlr mill l.ouj; lltm, 1 Action was taken In tho United States circuit court at Cincinnati, on j Tuesday, that may have an Important . bearing on the strike which tho coal ) mine operators are now engaged In. Myron T. Herrick and Robert Bllckens- i i derfer, the receivers of the Wheeling At i ' Lake Erie Railway Company, and of i the Lake Erie, Wheeling and Pittsburgh Coal Company.are operating two mines known respectively ;ih the Dll- i lonvale and the Long Run mines as < part of tho property of the coal com- < pany In Jefferson county, and they are i finding trouble llk?> the other operators < in holding their men together. In the ' application which tliey made a few days fif<> to the United .'..ires court, they stated that nt the Dlllonvale mine they have five hundred men employed and that all of the are willing and want to keep on working, while nt the Long Run mine, where there nro four hundred men employed, one-half of them are willing to keep on. says tho Cincinnati Commercial Tribune. The men at both places, It Is claimed by the receivers, have stopped working on account of warnings and threats they have received from other miners who have Joined the strike. This Inter- i fererice, the receivers say, has become a serious hindrance to I hem In the operation of the mines, and the carrying on of the business of the Wheeling Ar Lake Erie Railway, and respecting this last the receivers say also they have been notified they will not be allowed to transport over the road the Virginia coal received from connecting lines. Resides this the receivers claim that a number of men In the mines along the line of the Cleveland, Lorain aWheeling Itnllway are threatening to d?*cend on I he receivers' property, ami prevent their ompioyt s from working. On account of those circumstances, the receivers asked the court to direct the ? United Htati n m irshal to give them assistance, nnd to protect the men und property In their charge. Judge Tuft, after hearing the argument of the counsel, Issued an order directing the marshal to confer with the receivers and to send to .Jefferson county and to other parts threatened, a sufficient forco of deputy marshals with instructions to protect tho mining and railway properly. The marshals are alio ordered to arrest all persons attempting to interfere with tho mine workers or the railway men, or to destroy property fir threatening violence, Persons so found Interfering with thn workers or the properly are to be held for ronlimpt of court, Jttdge Taft further ordered the receivers to ill* nt ones ?m application for sn Injunction nsnlnst all persons engaged Hi the attempt to Interfere with the mine* or the railway properly. Marshal iJevanney will ImmeliaMy arrange for the carrying out or the orders of the court, and the ncerjunry force of deputlee will be *enl to the cene at once. The oidui* me f(;r them TV I IXilulili :o remain on duty so long as their pretence is necessary to secure the safety of the railway and mine pioperty ind the operatives.

JOWA'S TRUE*DEMOCRACY. Convention of Nntlonnt Drmooralial Dm Molnet?CiiulruiMii Frrnoli'i Njteccli?Worili of Comfort from J5*I'rcililmit Clrvelaml. DBS MOINES, Iowa, July 7.-About two hundred National Democrats met in state convention to-day to nominate a state ticket. Judge Nathaniel French, of Davenport, was temporary chairman. When In his address urover Cleveland was referred to In connection with the Pullman strike there wan the wildest enthusiasm. Judge French said In part: "The wont nondescript convention , held In this city at which two ex-Itepubllcans, one Populist and two ex-Democrats were nominated, swallowed the entire Chicago platform and made the dominant 4ssuet? of this campaign, not stat*1 Issues on which nil Democrats might have united, but the heresies of the Chicago platform. It could not commend personal liberty or condemn protection and prohibition. The Chicago platform Is Instructive only in teaching how free government should not be carried on. We cannot look for relief to men capable of such an unparalleled mass of heresy; neither can we look for guidance to any convention which endorses suoh a platform. "The real stock In trade of the free sliver agitator is the hard times which he himself largely caused. The hope that some change on the statute book may better times causes many men to vote for any quack remedy proposed. Take away from the agitator the calamity cry and his occupation Is gone. The c.ou.itry's misfortune Is his opportunity and Its prosperity will be his defeat. Every candid observer has seen a substantial, though slow, development since Bryan's defeat. While thousands of men mado Idle by the Chicago convention have found employment, yet the hard times have forced a reduction of wages and there nt>? still many thousands unable to llnd work. The silver men say our money is too good nnd too scarce. They would make it poor and 1 plentiful. The trouble, however, la not duo to scarcity of money, but to scarcity of confidence. "Silver has its proper use in the minor transactions of oommerce, nnd when maintained at a parity wun goia, through limitation of coinage and other ' safeguards, nerves as a useful tool which 1 no one would discard. The use of silver ' with (cold In this way furnlshea the only 1 practical bimetallic currency. "With our fln.mclnl standard made se- > cure and a safe and flexible system of 1 banking established, the people will do I the rest. With restored confidence they f will again show their unequalled powers I of production. The present business will < grow In volume, new enterprises will bo I undertaken, tabor will be employed and 1 general prosperity restored." The convention was addressed by ex- t Congressman Frost, of St. Louis. Let- 1 ters were read addressed to Puul Kersch. ? Davenport, from Qrover Cleveland and < Henry Wattcrson. Telegrams In reply i were ordered sent to Messrs. Cleveland and Wattereon a?nd to the Kentucky convention. The letter of ox-President Cleveland i to Paul Kersch, the well known German i editor, and chairman of the state cen- \ tral committee of Illinois National Dem- j ocrats, was ms follows: GRAY GABLES.
