••••••MARCHING ON PAXA. Si-iHNfiKiEi.n, 111., June 9.—Tlio Ptrikiny miners art: moving on l'ana. Somo 200 or 800 millers from this oity and vicinity captured a Haltimore & Ohio Southwestern freight train near Rochester about 0 o'clock Friday evening and compelled the trainmen to carry them as far as Edinburg, where the train was sidetracked. Tho miners had been gathering at Rochester all day.
A large crowd gathered in the eastern part of this eitv in the afternoon at the corner of Nineteenth and Cook streets for the purpose of taking part in the raid. Some of them were armed with revolvers, guns and sticks. They had made elaborate preparations for a march through the country and had several wagons loaded with provisions. The men at the rendezvous were quiet and orderly, Imt resented all attempts to learn their plans. At. 8 o'clock the men formed In line and moved off to the southeast, preceded by the wugons.
Cupturvd a Train.
They marched straight to Rochester, 7 miles from here, where they llagged the train as it came along and climbed on board. No violence was committed, but the trainmen were compelled to carry them to Kdinburg. The conductor side-tracked the train at this place and refused to proceed further without orders. At last accounts the train was still standing on the side-traclc at Kdinburg.
Troops Ordered Out.
The governor received a message at 0:30 p. in. Friday from the sheriff of Christian county saying in substance that, a mob has possession of a Haitimore A- Ohio southwestern train at Edinburgand refused to let it move ami miners are approaching that the railroad authorities wanted protection, which he was unable to give because he had neither arms nor ammunition with which to arm deputies. lie therefore asked to have militia sent out. Inrespon.se tiie governor telegraphed (.'apt. J. E. Hogan, of Company Fifth infantry, at Taylorville, to proceed with his company at once to Edinburg and assist the sheriff of Christian county in releasing the Baltimore A Ohio train and in executing the law there.
Arms to He Sent to I'mm.
ST. LOUIS, June 9.—Adjt. Gen. Orendorff, of Illinois, purchased all the rities and small arms in the stock of the Meaoham Arms company of this city and ordered them sent to Pana, 111., at once.
Grhor If* Cupturud.
I'EOKIA, 111., June fl.—John L. Geher, leader of the striking miners in the attack on the Little min« Wednesday, was arrested at '2 a. m. Friday at his home at Edwards Station. Geher is district president of the Mineworkers' union and was a democratic member of the legislature from Peoria county six years ago. He has always counseled peaceful measures and advised against attacking the Little mine, but when the men voted to go he went with them and led in the attack. When he was captured he had shaved off his whiskers, with the hope of escaping detection, and, it is believed, was preparing to leave the country. He was taken to Pekin on the first train. He insists that he did all he could to prevent the men from attacking the mine, but admits that he went with them anyhow. The sheriff's posse is still under arms and expect to be ordered to Collier's mine to serve a number of warrants there. The local militia is also still under orders.
All is quiet in I'ekiti, but there is an armed force guarding the Jail, the courthouse, the public bridge (which has been swung) and all the public highways. An attack is feared. The inquest over William Dickson's remains here was most important in its character. The evidence was damaging against the deputy sheriffs and John L. (ielier. The inquest was adjourned to next Monday.
No Longer Interfere.
SuKi.nti'.y, Ind., June a.—Another large train load of coal passed through this place Friday. It was guarded by tho troops. No Interference was attempted. More will follow to-day.

HHAZII.,
Ind., June 0.—Much excite

At a late hour Thursday night Chief of Police Levi Louderbecli and Vandalia Detective Hennessey and a relay of officers left this city for Harmony, east of here, to serve seventeen warrants issued by Judge Me'iregur on persons believed to be implicated in the murder of tho engineer. 11.ey had not proceeded over half mile when they met 150 strikers armed with Winchesters, shotguns and all sorts of weapons. The oflloers demanded of them their purpose in moving in suoh a manner, and their leaders said they were going to Hrazil to guard the Jail to prevent a mob of railroaders, who were reported to be on their way from Terro Haute, from taking the prisoners charged with murdering Uarr from Jail and hanging them. The officers, fearing that the crowd would make an effort to release those arrested, returned to the Jail and with the armed mob watched the jail all night.
The officers arrested Will Carr, Kd Monk, Krnest Poor, Thomas Harris, William Wilson, William Warlen, William Gardner, Kert ltrilton, liob arlen, Thomas Quigly. Percy Thomas and Dave Moore, all of Harmony. The ex awinatlou is being held behind closed

doors. Coroner Mershon rendered a decision that Uarr came to his death by being hit by a stone thrown bv an unknown man. At no time since tho strike began has excitement been so great as it is now.
Checked by TroopH.
CA.MHKIDQK, O., June U.—The contest between striking miners and the Haltimore & Ohio trains carrying coal is ended for tho time being by the presence of the troops at the points of attack in Guernsey and Helmont counties. The only trains deluyed Friday was on account of a freight wreck near Chicago Junction. There has been no htand against the troops at any point. There has been no attempt to obstruct tunnels, or hurn bridges, or tear up tile tracks or obstruct them, save temporarily to stop trains carrying coal.

IlliM.AlHK, (.)., Junet).—All the motive power at tho command of the Haitimore A Ohio railroad here is now moving eoal westward. Tho Eighth and Seventeenth regiments are scattered along the lino of that road to prevent any further trouble. The Second and Fourteenth regiments are on their way to the Wheeling Creek mines.
Sheriff WitnU Aid.
Coi.i MHL'S, O., June 9.—Sheriff Scott, of Helmont county, telegraphed Gov. McKinley that the miners at Wheeling Creek had burned a bridge on the Cleveland, Lorain A Wheeling railroad, and that about 500 men were in the mob and were still threatening lives and property.
Immediately the governor ordered Gen. Howe to go to the sheriff's relief and promised reinforcements if necessary. There are 1,800 miners at Bridgeport and Wheeling Creek and nearly all are Slavs and Hungarians. Perhaps 5 per cent, of the men are citizens.
Trouble In AVeat Virginia.
CIIAHI.ESTOX, W. Va., June 9.—Gov. McCorkle has just issued orders for five companies of militia from Huntington, Parkersburg, Burton and Wellsburg to proceed on a special train to Hoggs' Run, near Wheeling, where SOU strikers have captured a Haltimore A Ohio coal train. The strikers beat the sheriff and defy interference of the state officials. The governor says lie will take vigorous measures to subdue the outbreak and will stand no foolishness.
A lauh Avoided.
CWI'I'I.E CREEK, CCJ., June 0 —The excellent oonduct of the state troops acting upon the politic order of Gen. Brooks has greatly tempered the intense animosity that the deputies and the strikers have felt toward one another and tho chances for a conflict are more remote than at any time since the forces arrived. The militia from its position between the two armies has moved so as to prevent either side making an attack, and they have executed their orders in such a politic manner that they have won the regard of both sides. Several times the deputies began an advance, but were cut off by the troops.
Tills is the situation at the point where Gen Brooks and troops are located. At other places the militia is ready to fire upon either strikers or deputies as ordered, and the strikers and deputies are still eager lor conflict. The strikers thus disposed are in the minority, but an Inadvertent move on the other side may precipi tate a sharp oonfliot.
TROUBLES OF A TRUST.
Receiver Named for a Concern Which Controls Property Worth Millions. NEW YORK, Juno 9.—Chancellor McGill, of New Jersey, has appointed Asa M. Dickinson reeefver for the Union Warehouse company, which is the corporate name of the big warehouse trust. This trust controls all the big stores and warehouses on the Brooklyn water front from Fulton street to the Erie basin. Its property is worth millions of dollars in the aggregate. Along with the assignmentof the trust came the news of the failure of E. B. Bartlett & Co., who are practicalh- the same as the trust.
E. B. Bartlett, head of the concern, died about two weeks ago, supposedly a very wealthy man. It was expected that he would leave several millions of dollars. No* there is a report tl»at his estate will hardly be worth S300,000. Mr. Goodrich, the assignee of the firm and the receiver of tjie warehouse company, said that the financial difficulties were duo to the death of Mr. Bartlett, which occurred about two weeks ago. The trouVle in both concerns was due to the dull times and the falling off in warehouse business owing to the general depression In the shipping trade. It was impossible to make a positive statement regarding the assets and liabilities of either the firm of E. li. Bartlett A Co. or of the Union Warehouse company. Apparently the liabilities of tho latter would not bo less than 8500,000, with assets perhaps not as large.

DUX 8 REVIEW.
TTRW YOUK, Juue 0. —U. U. Dun C'u.'s weekly review of trade sa^'s: The outlook for business seems a little bettt ron the whole, though the improvement is not^reat. Moruovor it ts Uiipoahiblw to fliflliMtfuish botween mere repluuement of orders Ciiiu-eled for want of fuol or other causes and iho new businens for whu-h works Rre anxiously looking. It Is somewhat encourthe ducreyi* In payments through eleHfintf house! in comparison with ltilti Is ulioui, ft) per cont. Railroad tonmigo is larger than a year ajfo In live atook and moderate In cf.-reals, bui considerably smaller In eoal and Iron products and in other manufactured goods west-bound.
With only 2.087 eoko oveus working and 14.f70 Idle, with the Cambria discharging half its fortMv arid seveu out of nine of the Carnegie furiuices at Bessemer out of blast the production and manufacture of Iron and steol are smaller than at any other time for years While it is believed deferred work will cause heavy production after the strike terminates the demand for products Is at present much below general expectations even at the east. (ther industries have been less affected, bin many of the textile mills even In New England have now been closed for lack of fuel or of orders, besides other concerns in great number between the Atlantlo aud the Mississippi river." "The return* of failures are still encouraging, sMti iu the United States for the week, agulnst 322 last year, and 40 in Canada against '.17 last year. The liabilities In all failures reported in the month of May were #13,305,357, about dft.420.0U0 at tho east, $-1,500,000 at the south and 43.400,000 at the west. Of the aggregate *5.105,025 was of manufacturing and $d.638,40U of trading concerns."
What Bradstreot Says.
Hrutl street's says: "Nearly all the unfavorable business' conditions of the last three weeks oontinue to exercise an Influence. Tho few exceptions where improvement is noted are of practically local importance. Retail trade at many centers has been interfered with by unfavorable weather and by further restriction of the purchasing power of thousands of wage-earners, by further industrial trouble, or by shrinkage in production.
The %.uu-b»w prices tip In the opposite direction this week, most strikingly in cereals, oats having advanced 5v%c, wheat 3*#c aud corn l\c. Potatoes are 2fte higher a bushel at the west, bar iron and pig iron are up sharply at St. Louis and live stock at Kansas City. Lard is fractionally higher. Conspicuous decreases in prices of staples reported are in leather and wool, due to heavy receipts of new crop. Coffee is off "At larger eastern centers there is no improvement In general business. Now Eugland cotton mills continue to produce in excess of demands. Southern and Khode Island cotton mills are shutting down for want of fuel as well as orders. Philadelphia jobbers in dry goods repor a better spot demand and tho petroleum market there Is more active, but Baltimore jobbers In clothing as well as in some other lines have not sent out drummers as formerly. "Among southern cities covered Richmond. Savannah. Jacksonville and Augusta report the more favorable conditions. At the first there is a better demand for groceries and provisions. for agricultural implements and leaf tobacco, which is quite uctlve. "There Is little far-reaching attending evidence of improvement reported from the west. At Louisville there is more demand for groceries. and the leaf tobacco market is tiuite active aud business bein^r reported. There is more doing among jobbers in hardware at Chicago, although interior merchants tributary to that market have not begun to buy in advance of actual needs, and. on the other hand, the spread of the coal strike is checking business there.
BILL DALTON'S FATE.
The ot«'d Outlaw Said to Have Meeo Killed In Indian Terrltorj\ Ar.DMouE. I, T., June 0.—Hill Dalton, the noted outlaw and leader of the Longview bank robbers, lies dead, pierced through by a Winchester bullet. One of his pals visited Ardmore Friday, and by incautious talk aroused the suspicious of the deputy marshals, who organized and surrounded the robbers near a little town named Elk, about 20 miles distant, in a house. While the men were taking position Dalton was seen to come out, look around, and immediately return. Then, pistol in hand, he jumped through a window on the north and started to run east. Gloss Ilart, one of the deputies, was less than 80 yards from the house and called on him to halt. Dalton turned around and tried to take aim while running. Just then the officer shot. Dalton fell and expired without a word. The house was searched and over 150 letters, besides numerous rolls of crisp bank bills, found. The addresses proved him to be Bill Dalton and the money proved him to be the leader of tho Longview bank robbers. His wife, who is in Ardmore, telegraphed relatives that her husband was dead.
KILLED FOUR HORSES.
One Itugult of the Recent Cowi..iy Race at Chadron, Nob. CHADUOX, Neb,, June 9.—Out of nine of the horses entered in the 100-mile race four are now dead, caused from the effect of the race. It was won by a common broncho in twelve hours. Several thoroughbred horses were unable to finish and one died on the track. Many think tho horse died from the effects of drugs administered. The managers of the race feel much disappointed over the result, as it was not intended to allow any cruelty, but simply a test of the staying qualities of tho western horses. This will undoubtedly end long-distance racing in this county.

Dknvkk, Col., June 'J.—At least fifteen members of the Denver contingent of Coxey's army lost their lives by drowning in the Platte river Thursday night. Coroner Martin on l-'riday went down to Brighton with coffins. He returned at noon, being unable, to secure any of the bodies. Four have been washed ashore 011 the other side of the river about miles this side of Brighton at a point known as cK ay's bridge. To reach them it would be necessary to travel about 20 miles out of the way, but he expects to recover them later on. The other men who are missing have also been drowned and their bodies carried farther down the river. One man found drowned at Brighton has been identified as Charles MoCune, a Missourian, a member of the Utah contingent.
The industrials started 011 Thursday with about 800 men who had taken passage in twenty-six boats, winch had been built of light material by the Coxeyites here. The storms had greatly swollen the streams, and a very high wind made navigation extremely dangerous. The first boats to arrive at Brighton made no report of the dangers they had passed through, and it was late at night before reports of trouble began to come to tlftS city. It was McKay's bridge that caused the most trouble. The flood poured under it with the speed of a millrace, and there, hidden by the stream, were barbed wires stretched across to prevent the passing of stock under the bridge at low water. The wire caught many of the boats and overturned them.
Several of the boats came down with only two oars and others had a half a dozen. The commander of the boats in most cases had no knowledge of the names or the men with him. The boats stood the trip very well, but a few of them were leaking. The Coxeyites will ,nake 110 further attempt to go east by the water route.

OLNEY UPHELD.
Attorney (ictnerHl'N Action AKUIIINI LLM Stanford Kntate ludorKcd. WASHINGTON,.1 une 0.-- Senator Hoar's resolution to set at rest the claim of the government against the estate, of the late Leland Stanford eanie over from Thursday and was laid before the senate at the opening of the session. Senator Teller (Col.) suggested that the resolution be modified so as to confine the inquiry to bo made simply to the advisability of releasing the Stanford estate, without iu any way touching the validity of the claim, in order not to a fleet other claims which the government might have. Senator Hoar agreed to modify the resolution in accordance with this suggestion.
Senator Teller recounted a conversation he had had with Mr. .Stanford shortly before his death, in which the latter expressed his intention to trans-: fer as rapidly as possible the title of. that portion of liis estate which he intended to dedicate to that purpose to the Leland Stanford, Jr., university.
Senator White (Cal.) made a brief explanation of the nature of the suit brought by the L-nited Stales against, the estate in order to correct some misapprehensions that seemed to exist. The suit was instituted against the estate of Mr. Stanford to prevent its distribution before the debt owing to the government from the Central Pacific railroad, of which Mr. Stanford was an original stockholder,fell due. There had been no dereliction on the pari of the attorney general. The suits could not have been instituted before Mr. Stanford's death under tho statutes of CHIW fornia, under which the eorporatiou'j was organized.
Aftsr some further discussion Senator Allen moved to lay the resolution on the table. The motion was carried —84 to 1«.
Consideration of the tariff bill was resumed.

On Friday, however, he withdrew the amendment. Senator Aldrich immediately reofiered it, and It was defeated by a strict party voto —28 to 80.
