b,ve come from Hocking Valley to the
.fleet that the miner, at Snake Hollow
, Je an attack on theguarda at 2 o’clock
UUi morning, one oi them being killed and
two wounded. It is reported that about
30W miners who came in from the aur-
wundiog country made the attack. The
telegraph lines are all cut and the sheriffs
in that vicinity thus prevented from com
municating with the Governor, In order to
call out the militia. One of the coal hop
pers was burned during the night, entail- mat
inj a loss of about $4,000, No definite in,
formation has yet been received here as to
me reason for the cutting off of
telegraphic communication. Aa soon as the
lines are repaired direct communication
will be had with the Governor. The Co-
Iambus and Hocking Valley Railroad and
Coal Company odlciala went down on a
special train (bis morning. They expect
farther trouble later In the day or to-night.

unable to say how toon another attack

So troops can be forwarded except on
an order from the sheriff. The Governor is
in readinesi to receive such order.
A Nelsonville special to the Slate Journal,
received this afternoon, says: "At 3 a. in.
the guards on duty at No. 7 mine were end-
ihniv surrounded by a lot of armed men.
Ia the meantime the cool hoppers were
discovered on fire. The men had tlielr
tices blacked. The telegraph wires were
cut in several places in the valley, cutting
off communication. The .Stole Journal
representative was surrounded and ordered
to leave town or suffer the consequences."

ed further trouble, and wanted men on the
ground, though he had heard of no depre
dations on Saturday night, further tnan
some shooting and cutting of wires be
tween this point and Longstreet. The
Governor pressed his questions closely and
told the sherlil that he had nine companies
of militia in waiting, but they would not
be ordered to move until Monday after
noon. In the meantime they would go
down among the strikers and endeavor to
bold a consultation with the leaders. The
company from. Lancaster has arrived and
was placed on duty at the jail. 8ome one
told Gov. Hoadly early in the evening
that the trouble was in a great degree po
litical, and he concluded not to order the
troops to move until he had investigate
'ters personally.
- Logan, O., September 1.—Everything is
quiet in the valley this morning. Ther is
no authentic report of damage to persons
or property last night. There was a rumor
this morning that fifteen pien had
been killed at Buchtel, but it Ihcks confir
mation, and there is probably nothing in
the report Telegraphic communication ia
in good shape this morning, and it is
learned that there was continued firing
earlylast night between the strikers and
guards at Sandy Run and Lmgstreet. It
is not learned yet tnat any person was in
jured.
Governor Hoadly arrived here on a spe
cial train thii morning, and is disposed to
learn all be can about the situation before
ordering more troops on the ground. He
is furnished with a special train by the
road and it accompanied by his private
secretary and a representative of the Asso
ciated Press. Governor Hoadly held a
consultation with leading citizens of Logan
this morning, among them being Judge
Friesuer, Colonel 8eth Welby, the sherii!
and others. He says that be has
formed no definite conclusion as
yet from tne talks he has
had, hot will make a circuit of the
mines to-day and try to see the leaden on
both sides. He will be accompanied by
tbt sheriff and Judge Friesuer and oth
ers.
Frank Woody, who was arrested and
placed in jail here for participating in the
riot of Saturday night and for shooting
Wm. O’Hara one of the guards, made a
full confession this morning, in which he
gave the namei of five or six of the lend
ers of the attack of Saturday night. Sher
iff McCarty will not make public the
names of those named until the
inspected persons have been arrested.
Cnnciskat:- Sept. L—The situation in the
Hocking Valley is most dangerous, if the
miners once organize for offensive meas
ures. Perhaps 10,000 then are idle mad have
been so for months, because of a disagree
ment between them and the mine owners
about the price to be paid for mining. The
owners have adopted the plan of employ
ing miners from elsewhere, Italians and
others, willing to accept lower rates, and

dissatisfied with the wag", they were get
ting and set lire to the hopper themselves.
The Governor tells (ton tuathed,,es not
want to be forced to order the military on
the ground, and is exacting promises that
the miners will do all in their power to aid
the civil authorities. If he should con
clude, however, after visiting all points,
that the military is required, he says he
will have to give orders to that effect. The
train was brought out at this place to con

mine where the hopper was burned,
and jnst as It started three cheers
were proposed for the Governor. The
cheers in response were very weak and
without enthusiasm. Some of the miners
are very gram and say that this trip is only
a political scheme. Several of them, on
being interviewed, said there was no poli
tics in the situation, and that that topic
was scarcely mentioned in the valley. The
Governor expects to visit other points and
reach Columbus this evening.

also of using machinery where practicable.
Thus these men, in idleness, w th families
dependent, see their places to-day filled
by foreigners, and the last hope of em
ployment at any price cut off. The intro
duction of "blacklegs " as men are called
who work at lower rates than the miners
claim, has been attended with disturb
ance. The mine-owners have been com-
K lletl to hire guards to protect the men
im violence, and the blacklegs have been
virtually Imprisoned in the mines. There
haa been talk for some time that the miners
would concsntrate snd drive the blacklegs
from the ground. The work of Saturday-
night was the first Indication of the carry
ing ont of such purpose. A fuller account
ol that disturbance says that It enlmlnsted
at 1:30 o'clock Sunday morning by
an attack of armed strikers,
variously estimated at from seventy-
tive to one hundred, resulting in
tbt instant ailing of one guard -and the
wounding ol two others, Itisknown that
quite a number of the attacking party were
shot, but it is lmpoesibls to ascertain their
names. Until recently 8nske Hollow’ has
been guarded by thirty firs Pinkerton
guards, but a few days ago tbay were
transferred to other points and their t,laces
filled by gua-ds from Logan and that
neighborhood, twenty-two in number,
armed with breech-loading shot guns and
a brace of revolvers apleot. Atthollmeof
the attack but seven guards were on duty.
They gave tbs alarm and opened firs. Th.
rest oi the guards rallied snd for ten min
utee a commons fire wae kept up. More
than 1,000 shots were exchanged, and the
strikers were at last driven back
William O'Hara, ol Logan, an old
veteran of the late war, was
doing guard duty at tha Urns. The strikers
no doubt knew his position, and he ea<
token unawares. He was heard to sayFor
God's saks, gentlemen, have merry!" and
was instantly shot dead, more than forty
buckshot entering bis body and literally
lairing away his shoulder, lie was an in
dustrious man, much esteemed and well
known in Logan, He leave* a wift. Jacob
Left, an ex-polio* officer of Logan, was
shot through the calf of the leg by a buck-
shot, but not dangerously. Adam Honrer,
a Grrman.az* 1 about twenty-five y. a s was
shot in lbs bead by a buckshot, receiving a
scalp wound, which is not dangerous
Barney Donnelly, Albert P. Riggs and
William Humphreys, track layers,
were asleep ill a bam just
outside the picket line. Th* barn was
surrounded by tha strikers and all the men
captured. Donnelly waa knocked down
and badly beaten, but tbt others escaped.
Donnelly said there were shout 75 in the
party, all masked. Some had their faces
blacked, others bad handkerchiefs tied
over their faces and all wsre armed with
shotguns, pistols and rifles. Its says that
while with them one wasrhot down, fell in
to the arms of another and was carried off.
He thinks several was badly wonnded,
From Donnelly's statement U appears that
a second attack was to be made. He says:

Varying Estimates of the Result—Talk
of n Democratic Barrel.
Augusta, Me., August 31.—The closing
week of tho Maine campaign opens with no
material change in the situation since a
week ago. The Republicans, who have
been regarding the apparent apathy ut the
Democracy with suspicion, have seen no
particular evidences of an eleventh hour
display of energy, and are beginning to
raise the figures of their expected majority
a little. Their guesses now run between
15,000 and 20,000, while there is an occasion
al enthusiast who says Robie will have
25,000 majority. Careful observers,
end among them a few cautious Republi
cans, however, think the majority will bo
about 9.000, while the Democrats claim
that Robie will be lucky ii he gets
4,000 or 5,000. Among the Congressional
candidates Reed continues to be the most
anxious. The Democrats boast that
Cleaves, bis opponent, is sure of election,
but Heed's friends will not admit that they
can be beaten. Meanwhile they are doing
everything in their power to strengthen
his position. The object of Mr. Blaine's
projected visit to Topsham on Tuesday ts
to Increase the enthusiasm in Heed’s dis
trict. Furthermore, the Republican man
agers claim to have discovered that a small
barrel of money has been sent into the first
district by the national Democratic com
mittee, and while they pretend that it
comes too late to do them much harm, It
bos exercised them greatly. It has sug
gested tbs possibility that part of this fund,
u it Is not an imaginary quantity, may bo
used among the coasting people down in
Washington county if it is too late to nse
It in the first district. There are in
Washington county 2,000 voters who are
engaged In tho coasting trade. Probably
200 or 500 of these will be at home to vote.
A judiclons and legitimate use of money
in payment for lost time and travelln j ex
penses would bring nearly all of them
home, and since the coasting pqpple are
nearly all Democrats the Republicans fear
the advantage that might thus be gained
by their opponents. Hence, the Blaine
people are not perfectly happy, nor will
they be until tbe coming election shall
have fixed Robie’s majority beyond con
jecture.
Mr Blaine remained quietly at home to
day, spending part ot the time In consult
ation with Senator Harrison. The latter
thinka it will not be necessary for Mr.
II sine to be presont at tha trial ot the In
dianapolis libel esse. He says he cannot
say how soon the case will come up, but br
appears to be vary anxious to have' It
brought and disposed of before the close ot
the campaign.

THE CREELY EXPEDITION.
The Diaries of the Members Shown More
Serious Condition of Affairs Than
Been Acknowledged*
[telegraphed to the associated pkess.1
m.vaTOif, D. C., September 2.—An
army official, who has recently read por
tions of the diaries of the Grtely party, said
today that they'reveal a more serious con-
dition of affairs than the survivors will
admit. It seems that from tbe beginning
ot the expedition there were disputes be
tween the members of the party. These
led to a division, which expired at tbe
time of the rescue. When found there
were two parties, one in charge of Sergeant
Long, the other in charge of Sergeant
Bramard. and they were living as sepa
rately as two tribes. Greely, while an In
valid and during tbe lost few months of
Arctic life, was In the party headed by
Brainard, who cared for him daily. The
diaries show that the stealing of rations
was a common practice. One says Dr.
Pavy stole them whenever opportu
nity offered, and that he some
times took such as were ap
portioned to the indisposed members
of the party. At other times, when the
men were sent to shoot birds, and when
successful, tha diaries say not all the birds
killed were taken to the camp, but some
were concealed in the snow for the future
use of the hunters. No mention is made
of cannibalism in the portions of the
diaries that have been read, and the
officer who has seen them refuses to say
whether or not any other member of the
party than Private Henry is reported to
have been shot Army officials say that
the contents of tbe diaries will not be made
public until an investigation is ordered.

of Enthuslaam for Blaine.
Washington, Aocust 3L—The absence
of enthusiasm In tbe present campaign
tbe part of the eloquent CoL Ingersoll,
who Is denouncing the Almighty at 11 a
ticket, is now explained. It seems that
notwithstanding tbe eloquence and the de
votion expended on tho Maine statesman
bv pagan Bob, no returns in the way of
social recognition have ever been bestowed
by tbe Blaines on the Ingeraolls. Tbe
Blaines, who are stralgbtlaced in the mat

? nonces of iaklnga heretical squad like the
ogeraoUs to their bosoms. 8o tb* booore

Blaines. Col. Bob irubably regrets now

a sensation here. When it was first pub

tbe authenticity of the letter. When Mr.
Hendricks was Interviewed upon the sub

dial it was genuine, and coolly proceadg"
to correct one or two inaccuracies in
printed copy shown him. He lias . _
(rained from any explanation of why
he wrote the letter. and there
are those who openly charge that
tbe Governor has either succumbed to the
belief that Cleveland might voluntan y
withdraw, in which case he would natu
rally be advanced to the first place on the
ticket, or that he lisa made up his mind
that Cleveland will not be elected, New
York going for Ulaine, in which case, if
Intliana shoti'd be carried by the I'enme-
raey.'b* would I* left in splendid shape
for 1888. Mr. Hendricks has the Presiden

get over it, argue these people, and they
