Scenes at the Union Station in This City
During the Arrival and Departure
of the Militia Companies.
The sovereignty of the commonwealth, of
Indiana has been defied and, for the second
time within a year the Governor has been
compelled to maintain the majesty of the
law by a mobilization of troops. The State
has to-day twelve companies of her young
citizens, to whom, as a rule, the duties of
service in the State militia are merely reo
reation and holiday, armed and equipped
for any hardships that may befall a real
soldier. As the several companies
that left here marched to " take
the train for; the scene of the miners'
disturbance they felt taewelght of heavy
and deadly weapons and ammunition upon
shoulders to which knapsacks and haver
sacks were strapped, while tin canteens
dangled from their belts. As usual In
affairs so serious, the faces of the young
soldiers did not Indicate comprehension of
grave danger. Whether there Is or net
depends in part upon the discretion shown
by commanding officers in critical moments.
While it is probable, the Governor believes,
that the very presence of tho troops, mak
ing tangible and visible the power of the
State, will suffice to keep down further vio
lence, there is a possibility that conflict
may be precipitated. The twelve companies
ordered out have not, it is believed, been
sent all to Cannelburg, large as the body
of angry strikers there is, but part will
proceed to Shelburn, where the locaJ court
has been defied. Brigadier General McKee,
who left with his staff last night over the
Indianapolis & Vincennes .road, Is acting
under secret instructions from the Gov
ernor, and his destination is not announced,
no doubt for strategic4l reasons. The force
in the field reaches nearly seven hundred
men. There are two thousand more for
reserve, and it Is understood they are ready
to mobilize at short notice.
The embarking of the troops at the Union
Station yesterday afternoon was accom
plished without confusion or special inci
dent. The only exception was the exag
gerated seriousness of the departure on the
part of a colored woman whose son is a
member of the company of colored sol-
diers. She seemed to think that it would
be the last time she would ever see her
boy and clung to him with fond and tearful
embrace for half an hour. It was difficult
for the son to quiet her. . She had been ac
customed to the horrors of the war that
set her free, and this was the picture that
made her deeply anxious and hysterical.
Except for her, there were few women or
relatives of the militiamen at the station
when the train pulled out.
The War Department of the State In the
Capitol shows aa activity ' very unusual.
Adjutant-general Bobbins is off with the
troops, and Quartermaster-general Comp-
ton finds it necessary to enter the provision
market and provide sustenance for the de
fenders of the honor of the State. Gov
ernor Matthews was worn out with loss of
sleep last night and retired early, content
to know that he had done the best he
could, the Attorney-general to the contrary
notwithstanding. With the troops Just
reaching the scene of the trouble this morn
ing the situation is status quo.
ABOUT THE STATEHOUSE.
Telegrnms to the Governor Getting
Troops Ready for Action.
The chief points of activity about the
Statehouse yesterday were the executive
parlors and the office of Adjutant-general
Rcbbin3. Governor Matthews arrived from
Terre Haute at. 4 o'clock Saturday morn
ing and went directly to his residence. He
was worn out with travel and retired, but
not to sleep. A number of telegrams had
been received during the night, and those
awaiting him at home were not of a tone
calculated to quiet the Governor's nervous
system, tJ he found himself unable to
sleep. He appeared at his office bright and
early yesterday morning, plainly showing
that he had spent a bad night. During the
mom ins th Governor's. clcs Trrj r tury
place. Ills stenographer, chief clerk and
Private Secretary King shared In the sup
pressed excitement that pervaded the entire
building. There were scores of messages
from the mining districts during the
morning, and by 10 o'clock it was
plainly evident that the troops were
to be called out. The Governor
had expected a letter from Judge
Heffron on the situation at Cannelburg,
and was somewhat annoyed at its nonar
rival, but at 950 o'clock received the fol
lowing telegram signed by Judge Heffron
and Sheriff Lemming:
"There are now five hundred striking
miners at Cannelburg. They have torn
up the track and trestle on the Baltimore
& Ohio Southwestern railway, and have
thrown four cars off the track to prevent
the movement of cars."
The receipt of this message dispelled any
doubts the Governor may have entertained
regarding a peaceful settlement ot the dif
ficulties, but he has been determined to
act all along with conservatism, and at
once wired the Daviesa county officials,
asking If the troops were absolutely need
ed. The reply from Judge Heffron and
Sheriff Lemlng came at 11:34, and was not
at all reassuring in Its tone. The message
read:
"Situation grows worse: troops needed
badly and promptly. At least five hundred
miners on the ground. Track and trestle
torn up. Cars turned over and off the
track. Company not permitted to repair
them."
These alarming' messages, with one the
Governor had received the night before
from Daviess county, asking for troops, ap
peared to determine the chief executive to
act at once. For an hour before noon he
was in close consultation with Adjutant
general Robbins and other staff officials.
It was tacitly understood that the troops
were to be sent, and the conference was
devoted to the selection of the most avail
able companies!. While at Terre Haute,
Friday, Governor Matthews had consulted
with Judge Briggs, of Sullivan county,
and had informed that official that he
thought Sheriff Mills ought to be able to
move the cars at Shelburn with a posse
of twenty good citizens, but Judge Briggs
feared that It would be Impossible to se
cure that many citizens who would be will
ing to assist the sheriff. JThe Governor
gave instructions to the Sullivan county
sheriff to make the attempt. The following
telegram, received from Sheriff Mills, at
4:4S yesterday morning, explained that offl-
cial's lack of success, and had also much
to do with the action of the Governor:
"Pursuant to your instructions I served
fifty-four of the very best class of citizens
and heavy taxpayers of the county, and
fifty of them responded, and, being duly
sworn as special deputies, went with me
to Shelburn. With them and the aid of the
proper train crew, I attempted move the
cars of coal. The miners held a consulta
tion and' decided that the coal should not
be moved, and that they would permit the
same to go only when compelled to do so
by superior force. We attached the engine
to the first coal car and attempted to move
the coal train, but were unable to do so
by reason of the interference of . the min
ers, who were present in numbers greatly
superior to my own force. I anTTTiTable to
enforce the law pursuant to your order
and proclamation, although I have called to
my aid the power of the county. I there
fore submit the further facts to your con
sideration in addition to those filed in your
office, and ask you to advise me promptly
of your intention."
At 12 o'clock Governor Matthews, Adjutant-general
Rcbblns and Maj. T..M. De
frees concluded a consultation in the pri
vate executive office. A few minutes be
fore the Governor had read the last mes
sage from the coal fields, which stat.-d that
the troops were needed at once. There was
no further delay, and the telephone and
district messenger service were put into
instant operation. Adjutant-general Kob
bins was ordered to prepare nine companies
for departure, four of which were to go
from Indianapolis. Quartermaster-general
Compton was summoned, and at once began
the work of securing rations and camp
equipment. Adjutant-general Robbins put
himself in communication with Superin
tendent Darlington, of the Pennsylvania
system, and arranged for the transporta
tion of troops during the afternoon. By 1
o'clock the captains of fivei Indianapo
lis x companies were notified of the
contemplated movement to the scene of
trouble and instructed to get their men
in readiness as soon as possible. The alac
rity with which the young captains and ad
jutants carried out their Instructions was
something remarkable. By 2 o'clock strag
gling squads of young soldiers were seen
about the Statehouse lawn, and by 3 o'clock
the appearance of the yard was decidedly
military. Company A, and Companies M,
of the Second Regiment, and M, of the
Third Regiment (colored), stacked arms in
the yard and were ready to move. Through
an error in the instructions to the Light
Infantry the officers of this company were
unable to find their men until late In the
afternoon, and It was nearly 5 o'clock be
fore the members drew up Into line at the
armory In the Masonic Building. Then
there were delays in securing the proper
rations and In transporting the ammunition
to the depot.
The scenes and incidents about the State
house yesterday afternoon were such as
o recall to the minds of the older officials
a similar event some thirty years ago,
when hundreds of Indianapolis citizens said
good-bye to their friends on the old Capitol
grounds. There were bustling, brusque,
commanding officers and smooth-faced pri
vates, and some of the latter looked upon
the confusion incident to the. hurried ar
rangements with startled eyes. The office
of Adjutant-general Robbins opens amost
directly into the Governor's apartments, and
through this door there was a constant
stream of. business. Governor Matthews
held frequent consultations with his pri
vate secretary, Myron D. King, and the
Adjutant-general. Quartermaster-general
Compton was one of the busiest of men.
He was up to his ears In work and did
not desist until the last round of cartridges
and the last box of hard tack had been
loaded into the wagon and started to the
depot. The Quartermaster has provided
bountifully for his men, who will sus
tain life on hard tack,' canned corn beef,
breakfast bacon, canned baked beans, cof
fee and tea., In addition to these edibles
the young soldiers will have all the com
forts to be derived from warm blankets
and water-proof tents. Each man carried
forty round3 of cartridges, and after, these
are exhausted he knows where he can
draw on a reserve fund of twenty thousand
more.
The first militiamen to arrive at the
Statehous were the colored troops of the
Second and Third regiments. Compiny M,
of tiie Second Regiment svrun; Into the
yard early in the afternoon and sticked
arms underneath the east windows of the
executive parlors. Two other com panics
followed, and when 5 o'clock came the
troop3 began to grow restless and wonder
why their marching orders were delayed.
Many anxlou3 glances were directed, toward
the office of the Adjutant-general, who. was
engaged in conference with members of his
stafL At 5 o'clock 16,C2 rounds of cartridej
wre gotten out and buiFtled to the Union
: SUU53, cil C3 fcsur liter & rcrtrvs cr IV
(XX) rounds was carted away. About the
same time the fifteen members of the Light !
Artillery trotted down Tenn:se street with
& Gatllng gun.
At 5:30 o'clock messengers were dispatched
to the various armories and the troops in
structed to repair to the depot- A few
minutes before 6 o'clock Adjutant-general
Robbins walked briskly out of his r'lce
and through the east doors of the build
ing. Then he stepped down upon the grocn
sward and gave orders to get under wjv.
In ten minutes the three companies assem
bled at the Statehouse were marching to
ward the Union Station. As Adjutant-general
Robbins turned to leave Cie yard Gov
ernor Matthews stepped to the window
and called him. A five minutes' conversa
tion followed, and then the Adjutant, touch
ing his hat to the Governor, turnd and
followed the troops. ,
At the station there was more delay, and
It wa9 nearly 7 o'clock before the special
train of four cars backed into the station
on the J., M. & I. track. There the Indian
apolis troops were joined by the Anderson
Rifles, which company had been summoned
by wire by the Adjutant-general. They ar
rived about 2 o'clock, under command of
Captain Burr.
The troops were taken to Seymour, where
they were joined by Company F, of Aurora,
The following companies are held in re

D, Washington; Company K, Princeton.

SCENES AT THIS STATION.
Incidents That Marked the Depnrture
of the Troops.
The gun squad of the Indianapolis L:ght
Artillery was the first company to arrive
at the Union Station last night. Capt.
James B. Curtis was unable to go, but dis
patched a platoon of fifteen men under
First Lieutenant Charhs Garrard. The Light
Artillery will have charge of one Gitllnsr
gun, with a capacity of sixty rounds a min
ute, and capable of doing more deadly work
than two regiments of Infantry. The squad
came down Capitol avenue at a smirt pace.
and on arrival at the station awaited the
arrival of the other troops In Jackson place.
The Indianapolis Light Infantry. a
fine body of young soldiers, came
a few minutes later, and, with
long, swinging stride entered the
station and came to a parade rest in the
east end of the fcheds. The young men of
the infantry presented a fine appearance
and looked the typical soldier. They wore
broad-brimmed gray hats instead of the
government cap and carried cimvas knap
sacks upon their broad shoulders. The two
companies of colored militia marched in at
6:30 o'cloek and took up a position at the
west end of the sheds. They were followed
by the Columbia Rifles, of Anderson, un
der command of Captain Burr. The com
manding officer, a slender young man of
less than twenty-two, halted his men at the
extreme west end of the station, wiped hs
perspiring brow and looked as brave and
determined as a battle-scarred colonel.
The last troop to arrive was Company A,
of the Second Regiment, a boyish lot of
soldiers commanded by Capt. II. C. Castor.
Then the frlend3 of the departing soldiers
began to drift toward the station. Anxlou3
mothers and fathers and sweethearts
flocked through the gates by the score,
and soon the sheds were jammed with
restless. . feverish humanity. For a time
the strict -discipline of - the - station-.was
abandoned and the people were allowed to
roam about the sheds at will. There were
many pathetic little scenes and not a
few ludicrous Incidents. The friends of the
colored troopers seemed to predominate In
the crowd, and the partings between the
dusky young men and their sweethearts
were In many Instances most fervent. One
young colored girl embraced a stalwart
soldier half a dozen times and left the
station weeping as if her heart was break
ing. A good old colored un
cle paced the platform for several
minutes before he found the particular sol
dier he was seeking. The old man had evi
dently been reading . James Whitcomb
Riley, for he grasped the hand of the
young man and, after shaking the brawny
fist, exclaimed: "Good-bye, Jim; take keer
yers-elf." A matronly looking woman rus'aed
up to a stalwart young man, evidently htr
son, and, throwing her arms about his
huge frame, gave him a hearty hug-.
The boy looked embarrassed, and reddened
perceptibly, but his mother couldn't see
anything to be ashamed of, and turned
from his side with sorrow and apprehen
sion written in every line of her motherly
face. Scores of pretty young women
trooped about the sheds, seeking acquaint
ances and casting coy glancc3 at some
particularly fetching young soldier. Oth
ers were tenderly solicitous and left the
station with fluttering hearts.
A few minutes before 7 o'clock an engine
and four passenger coaches steamed slowly
in from the we?t end of the shed.". ' Tnon,
at the west end, two baggage cara and a
freight car were backed In. and the load
ing of the camp equ!pige and ammunition
began. The immense cartridge boyes wtre
carefully slid from the wagons Into the car
and guards placed over them. At 6:13 the
troops were ordered to board the cars, and
good-byes were said again. . Promptly at 7
o'clock the train moved out amid Godspeeds,
and fluttering handkerchiefs, and sighs.
ASKED HIM TO HOLD OFF.
The Striker "Wanted the Governor to
Walt and Sent! a lleprcMcntative.
Yefeterday afternoon, about 4 o'clock,
while everybody about the Statehou?e was
hurrying hither and thither gathering up
ammunition and supplies for the Boldler boyp,
the Governor received a telegram from
some of the leaders of the miners at Cannel
burg stating that they understood tnat
he was about to order the militia to their
town, and urging him not to do so. The
dispatch ald that the reports which hud
been sent out from there were greatly
exaggerated, and that there was no neces
sity for any troops. They asked that the
Governor send a representative or com-3
himself and view the condition cf affairs
befors he took any such step. The Gov
ernor Immediately called a conference with
such officers as hapiened to be near at
the time, and for awhile it locked as
though tho warlike preparations were all
for naught, but after considering the mat
ter thoroughly It was decided that it would
not be advisable to delay the assistance
that had been asked for by local authori
ties on the word of thoso who mJsht be
interested In keeping the troops away from
Canelburg. and the preparations were re
sumed with Increascl vigor.

"Isn't this train about ready to leave.
