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.

I am not abla to judge of the number of mra nor to say how many shots were And. The firing was general ami not k» than aix or seven hundred shots were fired. One hundred or more men were rioting around with shot guns, rift, and revolvers. One of thegnarda Til shot dead withont provocation and while pleading for mercy, and two othera siere wounded. The guards returned the In hut I cannot say whether any persons were killed or wounded." The sheriff is unable to say how toon another attack will be made. 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."

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 VOLU ME LVIII—NO. 40. 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 i', v the I invert. ,r and a few other- In Hi, 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. THE CLOSING CAMPAICN IN MAINE. 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: "After being captured.

The man who appeared to be the leader sold: Boya, it'e no ns* to tight 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. ?here the riot is beyond his cor h *J* nnable to gat at them so i “Jfrflntt* information s- to whi “Wag done.

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.

True Explanation of Ingertoirs Want 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 ter of religion, have 4eared the conse- ? nonces of iaklnga heretical squad like the ogeraoUs to their bosoms. 8o tb* booore now are easy. Tbe Blaioea have cut tbe ingeriulls and the Ingeraolls have cut tbe Blaines. Col.
