TELEGRAPHIC NEWS. FROM WASHINGTON. Special Dispatch to the Baltimore Sun.l The Texas Pacific Snbsidy Men at Work Charg-es Ap-ainst Collector Russell The Ohio Republican Convention and What is Expected of It. WORKING UP THE TEXAS PACIFIC SUBSIDY. Washington, July 31.

Copies of resolutions in favor of the Texas Pacific subsidy passed unanimously by the Arkansas Press Association have been received here. The cry for this subsidy has been taken np with renewed vigor since the late disturbances, and its advocates are much more confident than they have been at any time since the adjournment of Congress. It is understood that the Arkansas Press resolutions are the forerunner of similar combined movements in other parts of the bouth. Despite the troubles in Pennsylvania Col. Scott's time has not been so much occupied but be has found the opportunity to put in big licks for the Texas Pacific snbsidy at various points.

It is proposed to have ready by the time of the meetingof Congress petitions signed by any number of millions of workingmen asking the passage of the subsidy, besides countless resolutions from associations, corporations, tc. THE RICHMOND (VA.) REVENUE COLLECTOR. Several Virginians were at the treasury today preferring charges against Mr. Russell, the newly appointed collector of internal revenue at Richmond. A high treasury official to whom the charges were presented stated that they would be investigated, but he did not think there was anything ia them.

He said that previous complaints had been made against Mr. Russell, which examination had demonstrated to be frivolous and unfounded. He thought it likely that the objection really was that Mr. Rnsseil was not a native of the State. This he considered ULfair, as the administration had been very liberal to native citizens of the South in distributing its patronage.

THE OHIO REPUBLICAN CONVENTION. The Ohio republican convention, which meets at Cleveland to-morrow, will, it is expected, have a somewhat difficult time in making np a platform. Consultations between Cincinnati and Washington on this subject have been on for several days past. No matter what the character of the platform it is conceded that it will not harmonize all the elements of the party. The President is very anxious that his administration shall be iudorsed fully.

His friends are to-night almost certain that this will be done, although they do not claim it positively. The President is not sorry that his greatest enemy, old Ben Wade, failed of election as a oelegate to the convention. Old Ben, however, is expected to be on hand, ready to do all the mischief he can. Ex-Congressman Eggleston, who is one of the proprietors of the Cincinnati Times, is a delegate from Hamilton county. He is a bitter opponent of the Resident's policy, and will lead the Wade element ia the convention.

Secretary Sherman received a number ot dispatches from Ohio this evening, all of them predicting that the administration men in the convention would triumph. It is said here, but not by the authority ot Secretary Sherman, that in order to win over the doubtful to tne support of the administration assurance will be privately given to-morrow to members of the convention that the Treasury Department will make no further contraction of tne currency.

This would mike a drawback on hard sugars produced wholly from this class of sugars to 3 10-100 cents per pound. The Boston commission recommend the following rates: On hard sugars, 3 18-100 cents per pound; on soft, above No. 20 D. 2 8 100 cents Der pound; on soft yellow, 2 OS 100 cents per pound; on syrup, 6 cents per gallon.

Fast Freight on Railroads It was stated in yesterday's Sun that the Adams Express Company had failed to renew its contract with the Baltimore and Ohio Railroad Company for the use of its lines to and from the West because the railroad would not lower its terms. Of the merits of the disagreement between the two corporations we know nothing, but it is known that the Baltimore and Ohio Company has alvrays opposed the policy of the railroads ot gra uting snch privileges to "fast freight lines," as left the railroads but a very small share of the amount received for the work done while the outside lines made a ereat deal. Among the complaints made by the strikers against the Pennsylvania Railroad Company is one based upon the fact that so many "fast freight lines'" have the use of the road, and that special car companies and express companies use it and make money which should be made by the stockholders, and which would enable the company to pay its employees more liber-aily. The Philadelphia Record, noticing this fact, says there is point in it, and adds: "How many corporations distinct from the railroad company are using the Pennsylvania road we are not prepared to say.

Whatever moneys these corporations make over and above what "they pay the company for the privilege of using the road and their other expenses many simpie-minded people think ought to be made by the company itself. And why not? These corporations have become rich; the palace car companies are said to nave mftde a great amount of money within a few years, and some of the transportation companies have prospered finely. The awfgreyate of tne money made by these corporations must be immense, and why should not the railroad companies have made it? This is not a new question. It has often been asked before, but it has lost none of its force from age or repetition. Indeed late events have added force to it and sharpened the point of it." able-bodied vagabonds ought to be prevented from roaming over the country and levying contributions upon it like bummers of a conquering army, who consider themselves entitled to be fed without work, and to perpetrate any indignity or wrong that is practicable.

This is just what they are doing now in all of the sparsely populated districts of Maryland. They could get reasonable wages in the agricultural regions if they would work, but they practically claim it is their high prerogative not to live by the sweat of their own brows but by that of others. If this were only a question of vagrancy it would be difficult enough to deal with, but as a thing that directly concerns the protection of property and life, and all that makes life worth having, it demands to be dealt with promptly and vigorously by all the capacity the local authorities have to arrest and punish wrong doers. President Hinckley and the Delaware Peach Growers. Mr.

Hinckley, president of the Philadelphia, Wilmington and Baltimore railroad, in a letter to the chairman of a committee of the Delaware peach growers, who have been seeking a reduction of freight charges for carrying peaches, says: "The maintenance of reasonable rates upon this company's lines enables us to pay our employees satisfactorily to tbem. Although those employees have. I am conndent, too mncn respect fjr their own high and fairly-earned reputation to ever take any part in such acts as have disgraced lu the eyes ot good men the employee of the other companies, yet the fact of a reduction of wages rt this time would have afforded the very pretext needed for communistic disor-oerto outside parti48.

Minister Lavard telegraphs Lord Derby nnder date of July 24 that the Snttan has sent him a message entreating the Queen to use her influence with the Czar to stop the shocking cruelties committed by the Russian troops. Men, women and children are outraged and murdered in a horrible manner.

The Sultan can scarcely believe that the Czar wishes the war to become a war of extermination and a war of brigands. The Sultan's aid-de-camp gave Mr. Lavard an account of tne revolting atrocities he witnessed, and which Mr. Lavard says are tn great measure confirmed by advices Irom consuls and other sources. Mr.

London, July 31. A dispatca from Vienna states that at the ministerial council held to-caya resolution was adopted virtually ordering the mobilization of the Austrian army. The resolution authorizes Count Andrassy to effect mobilization within limited bounds ehoulj he deem such a course necessary.

An occasional correspondent of the Times at Vienna utterly discredits the reported great defeat of Ahmed Eyrob Pasha, and says after the concentration of the Turks around Shumla a considerable portion of their forees were ordered to advance from Eski Djuma and Osman Bazar npon Ternova. to unite with Osman Pasha there, and then fall on the rear of the Rnsssian detachments which have passed the Balkans. The Turks therefore have only been able to leave a feeble corps of obser vation. whicn will take good care not to encounter an enemy superior in numbers. The position of the Russians in the Seipka snd Slivno passes and on the southern slope of the Balkans is becoming hourly more grave.

Their eflective lorces echeloned on This line do not exceed 50,000, which are threatened from lour sides simultaneously from Adrianople and Jambah by Suleiman Pasha, from Osmar Baja by Mehamet Ali, while Osman Bazar is advancing in the direction of Selvi, and a reserve corps irom Sana con Id approach by way of Philippa-polis. It seems also that the Russians are not making much progress before Silistria and Rustchuk, where they are meeting with desperate resistance. Gen. Zimmerman's corps advancing through the Dobrudscha is greatly menaced by the rignt wing of the Turkish army from Varna and Paravadi. The Ninth Russian army corps has become almost incapable of righting in consequence of the loss it suffered at Nikopolis and Plenia.

Several telegrams mention the fact that the Roumanians occupied Nikopolis at the request of the Russians as a proof that the Russian cause is not prospering. The Times'a Bucharest correspondent says it is reported that a Roumanian division, commanded by Gen. Maun, after leaving a small garrison at Nikopolis, marched in the direction of Plevna. The Manchester Guardian's Vienna correspondent reports that the Czarowltch's army is retreating towards the river antra. The Bucharest correspondent of the Times telegraphs: "A careful review of the military situation would seem to Indicate that the Russians have been rapidly concentrated, and that in all probability liieia and the position on the Yantra are now chosen as the centre of their movements." Reports are current in Bucharest that Mehmet Ali with UO.OOOmen has arrived at Osman Bazar.

A smaller Russian detachment is retreating before him. Mehmet Ali is trying to effect a junction with Osman Pasha, but cannot accomplish this without giviug battle in open field. The Russians are waiting for such an opportunity moBt impatiently. The importance of Austria's mobilization and resolution is not that two or tnree army corps will be placed on a war looting, but that the Empire la going to abandon its passive utiitnde for one of armed neutrality. From twenty to twenty-four millions of florins must be raised for mobilization.

It is probable, therefore, that application will be made to the Rothschilds or the Bauk Yerein. The Italian fleet arrived at Taranto on Monday. (Specials to the Daily Telegraph assert that the Turks have been victorious in the battles at Yeni, bagbraand Plema. and that the Russians are retreating to tne Balkans, pursued by Suiei-man Pasha.

The Renter's dispatch from Paris stating that L'Ordre, the official journal of the Bonapartisfs, publishes a lettersigned by M. Rouher and others repudiating M. De Cas-sagnac'a militant policy and proclaiming their adnerence to President Mac.Mahon is erroneous, M. De Cassagnac is the leader of the moderate Bonapartists. The Rouher party demand impossible concessions from the M.

De Cassaanac's paper is at wsr with the Ganlois aud Ordre. The latter is M. Uoaher's organ. A Bonapartist committee, consisting of the Due De Padone and MM. Jolibois and Rouher, yesterday pnblished a letter condemning M.

De Cassagnac, and telling him that be has no idea of the difficulties and nu warrantable claims they are contending against; that he das inconsiderately interfered in their negotiations at the risk of endangering their success, but that they will prosecute these negotiations with conciliation and prudence, feeling sure that the result wiil justify them in the eyes of the party. Thus the split in the Bonspartist ranks seems to be as complete andwiaeastbe rupture between the Bunapartisis aud legitimists. Tibe most prominent leaders who indorse M. DeCassagnac are Mons.Raoul Duval and Dagne de la Fanconuercer, the latter until recently editor of M. Rouher's newspaper, L'Ordre.

il. De Cassagnac'a paper, Le Pays, admitted yesterdsy that it does not count confidently on a conservative majority, and would regard a minority of 50 as a signal victory, since M. Gambetta has predicted the return of 400 republicans, and any considerable lower figure would cot onlv be a conservative success, but would be a notice to the republicans that if they do not behave themselves a second dissolution would finish them. BRITISH GRAIN TRACK. London, July 31.

The weather has been more favorable to the wheat crop, but as the harvest approaches numerous reports indicate that the yield wiil not bo an average one. Everything now depends on the weather, for as time goes on the deficiency will become more apparent. The imports of ftreija wheat continue large. before Mayor Shay this afternoon. Sixteen of them were discharged.

Z. Kight, James Dixod, John Ravenscraft and John Ashey were fined from three to ten dollars each and costs for carrying pistols, knives and billies. Several of the party were from the mining regions. Thomas Goff, a striking fireman, who led the crowd, was fined ten dollars and costs and confined thirty days in jail, that being the extent of municipal authority. The others were sent to jail till they pay the fines.

State's Attorney Daley was present at the hearing. The bugaboo rumors about the miners coming down en masse are about at an end. The towns on the line of the road are settling down to their usual quietness. Many rumors originated in the foolish expressions of individuals, as for instance a miner at Lonaconing to-day said "if the coal companies don't do something in two weeks we wiil march in a body to ashlngton to see that we get our Special Dispatch to the Baltimore Sun.l Miners' Meet in jr Sear lionaconins. Piedmont, W.

July 31. A mass meeting of six or seven hundred miners was held 'this P. M. at Knapp's Meadow, two miles beyond which lasted from 1 to 5 o'clock. Philip Rouke, of Pornpey mine, presided, and A.

Thompson, of Lonaconing, was secretary. Mr. Harris of Cumberland, presented a message from Mr. James A. Milnolland, second vice-president of the C.

and P. railroad and general manager of the Consolidation Coal Company, in which he feelingly assured the men that it was simply impossible for the scale of mining rates to be increased during the season; that the companies could not pay more than fifty cent aud that in the event of a strike for sixty-five cents the mines would be closed up on account of competition from the Clearfield region. He warned them to be very careful before taking any decided action which would be to their disadvantage, and said the companies were doing the best they could. Xo disposition was made of the paper. The meeting at the beginning was pretty equally divided on the question of striking.

Nine mines were not officially represented, several of them being at work. It was apprehended that a motiouto strike would be carried, nntil a cool-headed young man named Raney Powell, of Hoffman Hollow, arose and made a teliin? speech, which divided the meeting and rather subdued the striking element. Mr. Powell said il they struck he would support them, but he added: "Have you ever known of an increase of wages in dull times when men are working one-third time?" Mr. McDonoghue called tor an expression of opinion from the different miners.

The different miners separated and determined on reports which they presented as follows: Pouapey Smash in favor of (15 cents; Hoffman Hollow 03 cents; Blaen Avon 20 miners for 5 cents and 7 for 50 cents; Midlothian 55 cents; Borden Shaft 30 of 350 present 65 cents; Ocean mine 65 cents; Miller mine, half miners present, 65 cents; Georges Creek did not consider it wise to take action nntil a future. meeting; Koontz Big" Vein, one-third; Jackson mines Pekin held out for 65 cenrs, No reports were presented from the following mines, not being officially represented: Pike Hill, Swautou, Caledonian, Potomac, Phoenix, Franklin and Hampshire. Many of the miners spoke feelingly of their wants. On motion the meeting adjourned till Thursday at 1 o'clocK. Tt is tne general opinion that the backbone of the proposed strike was broken at the meeting held and that he mines will resume operations.

The latest advices are that the Maryland company's mine will resume work to morrow at 50 cents. This company employs 130 men. The following mines resumed work to-day at 50 Swanton. 70 men; Piedmont or Pickett, 40 men, and the Franklin, 150 men. C.

A. Shaw, general superintendent of the Hampshire and Baltimore Canal Company; H. D. Black, superintendent of the Franklin and Phoenix Coal Company, and Capt. Julian Sheridan, superintendent of the Atlantic and Georges Creek Coal Company, expressed the opinion at Piedmont this afternoon, upon hearing the results of the meetiusr.

that it was most probable all the mines would again be in operation in a few days. Sheriff Bauer was present at the miners' meeting to preserve order in case of difficulty. His presence alone had a better effect than if accompanied with a posse. The meeting was very orderly, as one of the speakers remarked we want no sheriff, we can preserve the peace ourselves. Had not the delegate system been introduced it is believed the meeting would have been controlled by a few, and that a strike would be the result.

Nothinsr further will likely be done till the meeting on Thursday afternoon next. movement of trains. About a dozen trains were moved west of Keyser to-day, all the old hands needed going to work. The road is now working between Balti-timore and Parkersburg, but no freight trains have moved as yet on the Wheeling division. It is thought they will be moved to-morrow.

United States Marshal Wheat, hearing of this, prohibited auy Etrikers from seeing the others, aud unless the strikers see and talk the engineers out of it trains will be manned to-morrow. Tiie strikers they will in nowise molest trains, but will keep engineers from going out it they can get a chance to talk them out of it. They also say they will return to work if the management will do away with classincation oi engineers and allow the same pay to engineers who have run twelve months after finishing apprenticeship, and paying laborers living prices. Here and There Abont the KtriKes. Quiet having been restored in San Francisco, the citizens' committee of safety have decided to adjourn to the call of the chairman or the tap of the bell.

That and other Chicago roads are running as usual. The Delaware, Lackawanna aDd Western and the Morris and Essex division are now running without interruption. Some of the military at St. Louis have been sent to Springfield, to guard the coal mines in that vicimty-against the strikers.

New Yoke, July 31. The Iron Mountain and Missouri. Kansas ancrTexas roads must be sailing pretty close to the wind when the strike of a single week jeopardized the interest due by each road to-morrow. They announce that it cannot be met nntil what was lost by tne strike ha3 been earned, which they hope will be in a few days. It is claimed by the Missouri, Kansas and Texas road, however, that it would not be in the straits it is if it could collect $200,000 dne it from the Houston Central road, and $100,000 claimed to be dne it from the government for the transportation of troops, and which the treasury refuses to pay on the ground of "no appropriation." If the road had cither of these moneys it would not have to ask its bondholders to wan for their interest a single day.

The foreign quotations come better for European stocks, which shows the scare was quickly over. United States bonds, however, are marked off i on the 4 per cents. The result of the higher European figures was to send gold off at the opening to 105 5-10, after an effort to open itatl05. The business was not large at 5-1(5, while lots of gold was offered at Loans were made at 2a2per cent, for use and flat, and later in the day 105 was accepted for gold in view of the Treasury sale of Sl.000,000 on Thursday. This confirms the statement given you yesterday that the treasury would sell gold in Adgust.

The actual amount to be sold, however, is yet uncertain, and will depend upon circumstances. Mr. John J. Kiernan was before the governing committee of the gold room to day with refer ence to the authority for the telegram from his Washington correspondent on Saturday, and which caused considerable loss to operators in gold, to the effect that the treasury would sell $5,000,000 gold in August. He gave as his authority the "assistant secretary," whereas the secretary himself says he has not thought of such a thing.

Of course Mr. Kiernan could hardly he held to blamp, and if there is any responsibility at all for tne telegram it rests with the assistant treasurer. Cotton is again 1-16 lower in Liverpool no doubt on the flatness of Manchester while the breadstuff market is lower for reasons not stated. It may be the advance in consols and the subsidence of the panicky feeling of yesterday has thrown a damper over breadstuff's for the moment. Sterling bills are dull.

THE STRIKERS' WAR SUBSIDING. General Resumption of Freisrntinsr The Blockade Effectually Raised-Maryland Sheriffs and their Posse The Business Aspect In Baltimore Miners' Meeting: at I.oiiat'oning-. Reported for the Baltimore Sun.l Advices from general points on the Baltimore and Ohio railroad show the resumption of freightage yesterday from Baltimore to Par-kersburg, and the probability of the same to-day on the Wheeling division.

The positive action of the civil and military authorities all along the line has convinced the rioters that their vocation is ended and that law will be enforced and order maintained at all hazards. The results of this determination were evidenced yesterday at all business centres in Baltimore by the renewal of business stir and wonted activity in industrial pursuits. There is no donbt the normal condition of our commerce will be reestablished in' a short time. The military guards were removed from all trains except those over the third division, from Keyser to Grafton. Twenty-nine trains were started from Locust Point and Mount Clare Stations, Baltimore, to the West, all heavily laden with general merchandise.

A large quantity of freight, including fruit and perishable commodities, was loaded on trains at Camden Station and sent to Mount Clare for shipment. About ninety trains in all were in transit over different divisions of the road. Twelve trains were started west from Keyser without opposition from the strikers. Among the cars sent ont from Locust Point twenty-five were loaded with peaches from Delaware. Sixteen loaded coal trains arrived at Locust Point during the day, aud the wharves presented an animated appearance as the freight was received and loaded on vessels in waiting.

Large numbers of train hands reported at Riverside round-house for duty, and the company had no difficulty in procuring all the men needed to run the trains. General Agent Fairbanks, at Camden Station, received a telegram from Keyser about 2 o'clock P. M. to send no more trainmen there, as the company had sufficient to man all tne trains in readiness. The only change in the disposal of the United States troops under General Barry was that about eightv-five men of the Eleventh Infantry, under Lieutenants Sage and Ross, were sent from Camden Station to Fort McHenry to furnish guards for the bonded warehouses and elevators at Locust Point, whence tne civilian guards of Collector Thomas had been withdrawn.

The detachment of marines from Colonel Forney's command, which guarded the trains to Martins-burg Monday, returned to Camden Station last evening. The Fifth Maryland Regiment remained in camp at Riverside" last night, and no orders bad been received at regimental headquarters as to the duratiou of their stay. Forty-two men oi companies and under Maj. Dandridge, Lts. Whiting and Ehlen and Sergeant Fitzgerald, who had been guarding tne bridges along the line of the Baltimore and Ohio railroad at Ilchester, Mount Airy and Monocacy, returned to camp during the afternoon.

A dress parade of the regiment was held at 6.30 P. and a large number of ladies and residents in the vicinity of the park attended. The men of the regiment are all in good health and well satisfied with their camp fare. There complaint that letters have been received from many merchants threatening to discharge men employed in their establishments unless they leave their military duty and return to tne counting-room. Numbers of the strikers who drew their pay and left the service of the Baltimore and Ohio Railroad Comnany still decline to return to work, though dissatisfied that others who they were confident would stand by them have gone back into the service of the company.

Mr. John King, first vice-president of the Baltimore and Ohio Railroad Company, had a conference with Gov. Carroll yesterday at the city hall. The interview, it is understood, had reference to the railroad situation and in cart to the state of affairs when it will be expedient to withdraw the military protection from the road. Full confidence was felt that the railroad will soon be in its normal condition of security and that extraordinary measures will no longer be needed.

The Governor Has strong faith in the good moral spirit of the people of Maryland, aDd that that spirit wiil generally be a shield against any of the baser methods of procedure by dissatisfied and antagonistic elements. An erroneous report was in circulation yesterday that railroad strikers near Keyser, West Virginia, had captured a train on the Baltimore and Ohio railroad while in charge of Captain Litchfield, of the Second Artillery. The only foundation for the rumor was the seizure by rioters of an unguarded train near Keyser, which was immediately recaptured by troops, no damage whatever having occurred. Sheriffs mi 1 their Posse. Sheriff Nutwell, of Anne Arnndel countv.with a posse of twenty-five men armed and equipped, left Annapolis yesterday for Annapolis Junction and Jessup's Cut.

The posse responded promptly on the sheriffs summons. The posse summoned by the sneriff ot Garrett county obedience to the Governor's proclamation ia 250. They were sworn, in Sunday, and are heavily armed and posted at the switches and bridges between Bloomington and Oakland. Sheriff Barton, of Baltimore county, on Sunday summoned 150 men as a posse in obedience to Gov. Carroll's proclamation.

They assembled at Mt. Winans, but were disbanded in a few hours, the railroad officials saying that there is no present need for their services. The sheriff, however, has made arrangements by wh: ch the men can be reassembled on short notice. The sheriff of Carroll county, with a small posse, is said to be at Mt. Airy, a station on the Baltimore aud Ohio railroad.

It is very possible that the posse will not be needed," but their prompt response to Gov. Carroll's procmation is creditable to the staunch yeomen of the counties in which they were summoned. Special Dispatch to the Baltimore Sun.l Events at Keyser, West Virginia. THE BLOCKADE RAISED AT KEYSEU AND GRAFTON NO TROUBLE ANTICIPATED AT WHEELING REWARDS TO LOYAL EMPLOYEES ARREST AND ESCAPE OF A STRIKER, ETC. Keyser, West Virginia, July SI.

The blockade on the mountain division may now be considered as practically at an end. A general movement along the line was arranged for this morning, and at ten o'clock freight trains began moving west from Keyser, others east from Grafton having left at an earlier hour. Two battalions of the Third InfaDtry, Capt. Warner, who arrived at Cumberland from Baltimore yesterday, were sent on to Piedmont this morning, in addition to a detachment already there. The troops at Keyser and Piedmont were deployed along the line of railroad property, keeping the crowds back at a considerable distance.

No one not identified as in the immediate employment of the company could pass the guard, and even the most irrepressible reporters found it necessary to make lengthy explanations of their privileges in order to pass the line. The first freight train was started west from here at 9.50 A. and before 12 M. six others were on their way to Grafton. The strikers being kept back by the military there was not the slightest interference with any of the trains.

The movement at Grafton as far as known is reported equally successful. Col. Delaplaine has received official advices this noon that no trouble is anticipated at Wheeling. Mayor Sweeney has appointed a number of special policemen there, who are considered all-sufficient for the occasion, without the aid of United States troops. The Matthews Guards, however, are prepared to turn out there at a moment's notice.

The railroad officials say.they have now more men than they want. The movement of traius over this division has caused quite a general break among the strikers, and they are. now constantly coming in and asking to be set to work. The opening of this division will have a great moral effect on the strikers along the entire line of the Baltimore and Ohio railroad. The strikers have always said that every other division mignt give way, but that trains could never be sent safely over the mountain division.

No donbt a portion of the disaffected element would connteuance violence to trains, but the railroad will tike extreme precaution. For the present no trains will be sent out at night on account of the accident by the misplaced switch Monday night. Mr. Keyser this morning gave $50 each, as promised, to the men who took the trains from Grafton. The first Of the convoy of freights which left Grafton this morning arrived here safely at 12.30 P.

M. The man Lane, the first to board the engine Sunday night to takeoff the fireman, was arrested by the sheriff to-day at the instance of the railroad officials. He was placed in charge of a deputy, and in passing his boarding house was permitted to go in to dinner and escapedthrough the kitchen. Mr. Keyser is very indignant to think the ringleader should be permitted to go in this way, and said he would cause the arrest of the deputy.

Special Dispatch to the Baltimore Sun. Eatest from Keyser, West Ya. Keyser, July 31. The blockade is broken on -the mountain division of the Baltimore aud Ohio railroad, aud the line has again assumed its accustomed activity. Twelve freight trains have been chipped west from here to-day, arriving safely at Grafton, and nine have been sent towards Baltimore.

The road is now open from Baltimore to Parkersbure. A movement of freight on the south division from Grafton to Wheeling will be undertaken to-morrow. The trains met with no interference at any point, the crews comprising the old conductors aud enginemen ana peverai of the striking firemen and brakemen who returned to work. Several of the strikers were finally discharged and paid off, having bstinately held out in the strike. The majority of strikers asked to be set to work, but the officials were guided in their selection by the occurrences of the past two weeks.

The authorities are endeavoring to detect the parties who threw the train off the track last night, but have no cine as yet. Sheriff Simnis has offered a reward of fifty dollars for the arrest of Joseph Lane, who escaped this morning. Lane was a ringleader of the striking firemen. tub crowd that was arrested for attempting- to ride free to Piont Ironi here bad a hearing The Depot at Pittsburg.
