The manavers of the Pittsburg & Fort Wayne state that they rin for the ne- commodatlou of tie workingmen at the Btock- Yards two speclnl trains, oue nt 0 in the morn- ing and one nt a quarter past 6 In the evening, These tralus are made up of second-class cars, as tbe Coinpany cannot possibly place men com- ing vut of slaughter-houses, the aroma of which clings to their clothes, futo palace cars.

The rate charged—15 cents for the round trip—is less than by the strect-cars, which charge 10 cents for each way. There are several other roads running to tbe Btock-Yards, and If thelr nccom- modations were better than those of the Pitts- burg & Fort Wayne Rallroad the workingmen would slmply go by those lines, aml not ulluw themselves to be “packed Uke hogs into tithy cars,” us “Falr Ploy " nsserts, RUNAWAY HUSBANDS AND WIVES, Speclal Correspondence of The Tribune.

Thirty-five Thousand Men Out of Work -—Destitution and Lawlessness, Bpecial Corretpandence of The Tribune. WiLkes-lianng, Pa., Dee. 1.—There is a lively prospeet of troublo {n the anthradte coal re- glons before long, Ever aince the dlssolution of the coal combination, the mining and trans- portation companics and individual operators have been curtailing production at thecolllerics, ~—the Lehigh operators being the onlyexception In thls respect,—and reducing the minera’ wages. The stnall and fndependout operators have been forced, necessarily, Lo adopt the reduction pol- Iuy, both s regards production and wages, by the unnecessary and unwarranted encroach- ments and oppression of the heavier operating companles, Production and wages have been shortened Lo a very low point already; but it ls under- stood that stlll another large slize I3 to e tuken off the tniners' pay some time this month,—the exact datu probably Dbeing the 15th {inst. The only colliers who will not be affceted by this movement will be those working {n the tnines of the Lehigh reglon, The reduction will go into effect inall the other regions, and Apprer 50,000 WORRINGMEIN. ‘The miners employed in some of the collleries in the Behuylkill district have already had aper- ventage taken off their wages, Beverul Joeal strikes arc in prorress in the Bhamokin reglon, the mulcontent colliers Leing the emploves of the Mineral Run Miulug & Rallroad Company. There is much dlssatisfaction manifested nmong all classes uf workivzmen, and it is not fmprob- able that the present’ trouble may have eventu- ated fn an extended and serious ” strike before the pulilication of this correspondence in Tue Trivuse, Eowe of the operators In the Sehuylkill rerion hove suspended” operations at thélr colllerles, and there §s o very strong probability of further stuppnges 08 the ‘month” advaocce, Prominent uperators Buy the suspension will be coinplete throuphout ‘nll the regions by the 1st of Joou- ary, The Lehigh & Wilkes-Barre Coal Company, whose reeent fluancial trouble with the Centrul Rufiroad of New Jersey has been satisfactorily arranged, {s vunning the mines opperated fn the Lehigh and Wyomiug regions on three-quarter timeg but shui-downs in other districts where the Compuny's mines are eftuated are constant- 1y taking place.

The aggrerated number of MPLOYED YERSON3 In the coal-fields of Pennsylvanin at this writing is placed at 55,000. Large nceessions are heing maede to_this vast army ultnost daily by dis- charges. While the unemployed men are spread through all the districts, the largest })wpunlun of them have been the operatives ol the Dela- ware, Lackawanna & Western, and Delaware & Hudson Companles. > The destitution, misery, and conseguent Iaw- Jesgness, are greet in mavy divisions of the Lackawanna and Wyoming Valleys, The strike among the operatives of the Delaware, Lucka- wanna & Western Raflroad Company stlll con- tinues, As both the conflicting elémnents ure, seemingly, determined to malnten the posltions they have assumed, the prospects of an carly ndjustment of the rupture are not very good. The strikers have been znm{‘eot mauy erlminal acts, and precantions have been taken by the authorities of Scrunton to prevent nn{ further outrazes upon person or property within the limits of the wunicipality. There are many deeperate epirits among thie malcontent opera- tives, some of whomn have been connected with numerous lawless ncte, It s alleged that the bridge of the Delaware, Lackawanna & Western Railrund Company, at Nicholson, ncar Seranton, “'hhlch was recentfy burned, was fired by some of them. THE SPIRIT OF LAWLESSNIRS 1a not confined to this ecction of the conl coun- try alone, but it would nppear, from the events that have trunspired fn the middle coal tields within the past weck, that another Molly-Ma- geulre relgn of terror s about to be fnaugurated. On Saturduy night last, Timothy Donolue was murdered at Nechsherville, and Nls mutilated ey thrown down an sbundoned shinft, Quick- 1y subsequent to this, at an carly hour Bundoy torning, the colllery-works of John B.

This terrible outrage was fmmedlnte- 1y followed by the incendfary destruction of the Yorktown cofliery, near Andenrfed. The opera- tor's loss I8 nearly $100,000. On Monday atter- noon, James McCormick, a mun formerly em- !)lnvcd by the East Boston Coal Compuny, Mill {ollow, wns assassinated near Bellevue, during an ultercation between bim and some striking miners. Late laxt night another crime was wlded to the lst by the butchery of Teddy Naulty, on_the Lebigh & Snsquehanun Rail- rond, near Green Ridee. The body of the vie- tim was plnced upon the track, to conceal the crime. The detectlves of the Pinkerton agency aud the Coal and Iron Police furnish fn- tefligence regurding the VREVALENCE OF OUTRAGES in the more {eolated amd lawless roglons, and huve arrested some of tho perpetrators of the outlawry.
