ing the miners to leave Coalport. where
the Plum Cre' k tippl^ is locmo L This
reduces the number of men in the mine
by oO.
The Plum Creek miners living r as
Center, near tne pit mouth, entered the
mine, some of them in tne usual w;iv
and others through an opening that was
not guarded. There are i’o'J men near
the mine, and as soon as posable a large
tent was procured lor them to sleep in.
They have a biass band and their larde.r
was added to by a wagonioud of pro
visions, The success of the campers in
bringing out tin Coaip >rt miners bright
ened the spirits of the miners ami mams
them more positive of victory.
At 4 a. m. tlicy ieft the camp ami
went to the main entrance of the mine,
leaving the center pit mouth uughurded
through which most of the oiggers at

Huntsvii.i.K, Ala., Atf^. 15. — A band
of whitecuppers artempted to enter the
house of Frank Simmons, at Concord,
20 miles north of thN city* ami the
leader, Dudley Johnson, was killed.
The desperadoes broke the door from ns
fastenings ami when Johnson appeared
Simdions fired. The leader stepped
buck, and after firing several shots into
the house the party retirrd.
Simmons’ young son found Johnson
the men to come to the meetings, the i dead in the woods a short distance from
campers had a com nut too to call ut the
houses of the miners te talk over the
situation with the familiea. Good re-
suits are cxj>ected by the commute*and
the statement is made that is three days
the Plum Creek mine will be idle.
The miners in Sandy Creek began
their march at 8:.'10 a m. and took poet- i
tious near the mouth. They were elated !
by seeing only throe men go in. They j
could not telh however, whether tney I
were diggers or day men No matter 1
what they are the mineifl point (mt the 1
fact that ibreo nien can dig” bnf kittle
coal. The Turtle Creek catnnfrs, iium- j
boring 2,(Xh). divided into tw’oi.bodieB at
4 :l in. One parly stoptied at Newton
and the other continued up tiie road till j
they came to the pit mouth. They io- j
mained until (> o'clock When leiin^r j
eatisfieii tivt but a few men entered the .
iinne. they returned to camp, where a
hearty breakfast was waiting.
There is i o scarcity ot provisions.
Libera!- donations are being continu
ously received. Turtle Creek merchants
are doing all they can to teed the men.
but to satisfy the hunger of 2,000 men
is not an ea>y task. The leaders ara
considering the question of thinning
out the camp, so u will not be a burden
to the sympathizers.
president D nan expresses himself as
being positive tnat the strike will be
over in two weeks alter the DeArimtt
mines are closed. Tne tnt^d output jif

and fled to the wood*.
The Obmner's jury held Simmons jus
tifiable. Tiie moonshiners, who were
afraid Simmons would testify against
them, dremse i in whiteoapners’ uniform
and went to kill him. When found
Johnson still wore a mask.
Sheriff Fnlghutn has gone to the
scene of the trouble and will accord
Simmons the protection °f fho law.
Paris, Aug. 8.—According to a din
patch received here from Constantino-
pie a division a/ the Turkish fleet h .*
! been ordered to sail for Cuneu, Island
; of Crete.
If the statement contained in theCon-
■ stuutiuople di-patch alluded to is cor-
! reef, fresh trundle may be anticipated
1 in the settlement of tin* Graeco-Turkish
1 peace preliminaries. It has been re
ported for some time that the Turkish
j ish government was contemplating land-
; ing additional Turkish troops in Crete
and on Thur-day last the admiral* in
command of the foreign fleets in Cretan
waters held a conference and decided ro
oppose by force the ittnuittgof any Turk
ish reinforcement* in Crate.
They notified Ismael Bey, the Turkish
civil governor, of the decision iuriv»d
at. But tiie Turkish govenjor replied
tiiat he could not accept such a deoi*
ion. apparently taking the ground that
the porte would persist in its intention
| to reinforce the Turkish garrison in
j Crete.
A dispatch from the Dardanelles an
nounces tha4 the second naval division
! of the Turkish fleet, consisting of seven
warships, commanded by Harri Pasha,
{ has sailed for the Island of Crete.
Fears are expressed her.- that the de
parture of thVTurkleh naval division
may leas! to a collision with the inter
national fleet in Cretan waters, in view
of the announcement of th« foreign ad-
' mirals that they have derided to oppose
I by force the luudimr of Turkish reiu-
forcements in the reland of Creto.
