They fear Another invasion of the strikers ami do not want to bo tur rets for a mob tlia' s liable at any moineiit to lose control f itself. Last night every thing was juiet about the mines aud the citi.ciis it Caiionsburg wore awaiting the arrival of the invaders. ltwasthc Intention nf the strikers to begin their march to Caiionsburg .nst night, but a telegram from Bridge.lie, announced that owing to the heavy rains of last evening, it was de-

Slued tO postpone the tramp until toiay. The men uro fully determined to :arry out their throat of making the nan Ii. They expeot to start w ith OOO neu and he reinforced with about the aine number from HridgevUln and

l oms run. The men will start with Mesrnl days' rations and spent to be .u shape to watch the offending mines for several days. Yesterday morning a number of the men going to the Aliihou mine wore stopped by the com mi t tee of strikers. Man, of them did not go to work. J. IL V. Cook suid that the names of the strikers would be procured and they would till be arrested for iutiinidat ing his employes. Sheriff S enior Clark of W ashington ftOQttty is fully prepared for any army jf marching Striken that may invade bin domain. It la not generally known tnat at six o'clock Tuesday night he hud in ar!y :;o) deputies sworn in, who

are available at any time. I 'mm the most reliable information it waa learned that they are all iva ly, w ith the rcijuisdc uumb.-r of tiiearnis, and , are prepnrad to do business. The sheriff is on tho ground iu person, and if Utero is a false movement among the miners, drastic measures will be resort. 1 to. Miners w ho want to ifo to Work are stricken with fear and anticipate trouble. The Allis in mines hud 40 MM at work until noon ycs'.er-

auy, when the plant was shut down ia apparent anticipation of trouble.

During the afternoon a c uuinittee from the Enterprise mine, three mile up tlie road, paid them a visit. They decided that the Üllti rpriso Would Hot work under the present surroundings. At the Boom Mine a game of peeh-a-boo is in progress. The men w ant U work as long as there are uo striker., insight. Manager llitehinau. of the mine said that ho would not make an attempt to operate the plant as long as there was any indication of trouble. He sai.l he was prepared for any einer geiicyand intimated the trouble would blow over iu a few das. At coin in it tee meeting at the miners' headquarters in this city yesterday afternoon the question was discussed how it would be possible to march a body of men to stop the miners of the New York Cleveland Cus Coal Co. from working. Kvcry phase of the subject was discussed, but no

plan could be hit upon. It yvas the j general opinion that the mines of this I

company are Impregnable to attack because of their geographical position. The expected ui"etilig of the board of arbitration did not take place last night, tin- eastern members not reaching the city. As soon as they arrive arrnagementa will be made for a gen cral mooting nf the operators. The situation among the strikers in this district is practically unchanged. The suspension is complete, with the exception of lb- Armitt's mines, ami tnough consi lerable suffering and destitution is reported among the miners and their families, the determination to tight it out is apparently as strong as ou the lirst day of tho strike.
