Tennessec's Labor Troublos lteach the Pro- portions of n Civil War, Citarraxovos, Tenn., Aug. 15 to the Times from Harriman suys the regiment and threo companies of volunteers left for Knoxville, where they will join rein- forcements for the troops under Captain Anderson at Coul Creok, whose carrison is mado up of members of the Thivd. The troops are advised that several thousaud miners surround the garrison and that a bloody encounter is cortain. The Third roached Knoxville in due time without an incident, alihough a Knoxville & Ohio passenger train on another branch was held up by soveral bundrod rminers, who, aftor searching it for sojaiers, allowed it to proceed. Information from Knoxville is that tho mob at Cenl Creek captured a freight train and went to tho stockade, claiming they wero going to tako it, but failed to attack. Early in the afternoon the wires wero cut and since then notning detnite has been board, They Will Not Surrender. Catain Anderson s a voteran confederata with a good war record, and wus for years the captuin of the Chickasaw guards. His command numbers about 175 men, with breechloading Springfields, pienty of ammu- nition and a Gathiug and Howiizer in vosi- ticn, Thev will not surrender, and an at- tempt to capture them will lead 1o a long list of killed and wounded on both sides, and especially on the charging party At 9 o'clock this morning tue Second rogi ment, mudo up of companies from West Tennesseo, reached tho city from Memphis under command of Brigaaier General Carnes, the commander of the state euards. Tho Sccond consisted of company A of Memphis, 36 muskets; company B, Momphis, 42 mus- kets; company C, Jackson, muskets battery B, Memphis, 2 muskots. Tho latter company Was recruited and mustcred into 1ho service yesterday afternoon and have no fisld pieces except muskets. An hour of two lator & train from Nashville brought 130 men of the Sccond regiment, under the com- mand of Colonel H. 8, Fox. ' Tho companies were: Company A of Musfroesboro, 30 men company C. Nashville, 40 men; company E, Nashville, 35 men; battery A, Nashville, 20 men, one (atling gun and one t-inch rifled gun, Kesponded to the Call, “ Therc was an lmmense meetiug at the courthouse at noon and volunteers came thick and fast and 500 could have been quickly secured, but there were only guns for 130 Colonel R. L. Wutkins, a prominent and wealthy citizen, was pluced in command, and the posse marched 1o & hurdware house where 150 men were given Winchester ritles ana 100 rounds of ammuunition. Tbe posse was then entered as militia, und the entire compuny lett on a special train for the scene of the trouble. What will be aone with the 1,000 released convicts is a serious problem which now con- fronts the state officials. ‘I'he state prison at Nashvillo is wholly inadequte. N i whateuer oxists for their car there s no provision in the laws which will enable the state to vropuriy feed, clgthe and care for them in idlenes In nearly all the counties where the dis- turbances” have occurred, putlic sentiment 18 largely with the mln and the usual processes of the law are set aside and nulli- - tied by indiffcrent or hostile oflicers. Pa senger trains have been s d and the oc cupants lefton a siding while the rioters took tho eneinesand enginecrs to furthor their own purposes and not @ hand has been raised by the sworn officers of the law to prevent them or protect the proper! A Largoe Fo I (AI Frell, In adaition to the belated militia who havs been sent for ¥ard, perhaps 500 citizens armed with snatchea-up uos and small arms bave gone fo the fleld to aid in the suppression of the rioters and the arrest of the ringleaders. While theso aro not & drilied force they aro at loast s well prepared for service ns the minors themselves, and _may be expected to mave effective impromptu =oldiers. “Thin morning aL 6 o'clock, several hundred miners beld up the Knoxville, Louisville & Ohio passenger train at Napp Summite, station between Clinton and Coal Creek, and after vainly searching for soldiers, aliowed it to proceed. The Harrimau rifics, thirty men, have gone forward from Harriman to Coal Creels, supplicd with ummunition. At 1o'clock the miners cut tho wires of South Coal Creek and since all the news bas come from Clinton. The last nows from Camp Anderson at Coal Creok just beforo tha wires were ent said Camp Auderson had not surrendered and would not. Clinton is the county at of Anderson county and distant from Cbattanooga 135 miles and the news gravitates toward this city because it1s the base of supplies ang rendevous for all troops and bodies of men pussiug from ono partof the state toanother.

The men with General Carnes are i ood spirits and full of determination. There are some old campaigners amone them and there will be 10 repetition of tho OliverSprings surrender. RANG OUT THE RIOT CALL, Knoxville M—Rumors This after- noon the courthouse bell rang the riut call and since then the city has beon one buge, palpitating noise. Tho excltement is intense and beyond doscription. AL 2 o'clock this ufternoon the wires cut and pewspaper men kuew that the last step was about to be taken. Shortly thereafter the Journal re. ceived a bulletin that an attack had been made upon Camp Auderson and, from nows now obtainavle, the attuck must have been a foler, as ne casualitios wero reported. In a short time anotier attack wusmade and then a third. In the last the Gathuog Runs wero brought to bear upau the miner: with deadly effect and many were &illed and wounded. At six o'clock this evening the alarming nows was brought iu that Captain Anderson had boen captured and was being held as a prisoner with a gusrd to preven’ a hot- headed faction form hanging him.

Old Johnston, who paced bis mile in 2:081 October 3, 1884, at the Chicago Driving park, has been ae- thronetl and Hal Vointer reigns in his stead. “U'ne gamo son of Tom Hall went around the Washington park vrack today in 2:051, mak- ing the fastost mile ever zone in harness, As in the case of Nancy Hanks, who yo terday beat the universe as a trotter, today’s record breaker was hitched to a sulky with low wheols, pneumatie tires and ball bear- ings. Its weight was tho samo as that used by Dovie in driving Nancy Hanks—62!g ponnds, Pointer was on the program to pace at i o'clock, but it was 6:20 before he was given tho word Ho was sprinted around the track o fow times during the afternoon and was given a fast mile. Ho was on odge and fit to to mako the offort of his life, but Geers, who haudled the ribuons over him, told the judges that it weuld be impossible for the Lorse to beat the record in the face of the lively breezo which blew up the home streteh, and unless it moderated he thought apostponemest of the trial would be advis- able. Finally the wind died away, and when the bay geiding stopped upon the track at 6:10 there was scarcely a ripplo on tho bosom of thoe lake insido of the track. The fates were as kwd to Hal Pointer as they had been to Nancy Hanks the day before, and if be lost a crown there could be no excuse oftered for him. Started Fast and True. After jbgging up and down the track for five minutes, Geers furned at the distance flar and came down for the word. Frank Starr was waiting behind, and as Pointer rushed by he sent his bay runner after bim, but before the upper turn was reached Geers, not liking the way in which his horse was moving, turned and came back to score a second time, Fast as a bullet Pointer came down the track. G s rubl buttons on his black jacket, and Starter Frauk Walker, construing the gesture as a sign for tho word, guve it promptly, and Hal Pointer went ‘orth for the effort of his life. The gaily painted quarter pole was just ahead of Pomter, veside and behind him in the passingof a breath, and as he swang into the back streteh, going fast and true, there was no doubt in the minds of the majority of anxious watchers that another laural was about to be gathered for Washington park. Past the bLalf mile pole in 1:02{ he went, without the faintest suspicion of - distress, going as steadily as though it was his every day exercise. Going around the turns Geers drew in tho reins slightiy, and Starr, ureing up Abe Lincoln. who' had been 'stivring up the dust two lengths behind Poiuter, drew up alongside, He saw, however, s head and Lead, the horses turned into the home stretch, that there was 1o neea of his ser- vicos ana hie pulled vack. Pointer, in fact, necded no urging beside tnat of his driver, and Geers was well contont with the rate at which the bay gelding coverea the ground. Poluter went to his work as though he knew that to hola the record without dispute he must not only surpass Johuston’s. time, but ade over a kite-shaped track by Direct, the little black whirlwind, the ono norse on earth who ever snatched a victory irom him, Traveling Like a Machine, Not a sound was heard atd not a person moved in his seat in the grand siand as steadily the great pacer came down to the wire. It was no burst, no mad sprinting rush that marked the finich of the fastest mila ever traveled by any horse in harness upon any track. He came from the distance flaz us”he had started from the wire, level- headed, full of business and doing his best to accomplish all that his owaer asked. He ne past tho judge’s stand strong and fresh and to all appearances able to do as well or better at some future time, The crowd gave his wonderful achieve- ment uo such enthusiastic welcome as it accorded yesterday to Doble's fiest mare. A few velis went up here and there, a roond of applause from the grand stand as hung out by the timers and that was ull, There was no ovation given to kd Geers, such as greetcd Doble, ana he climbed quietly from sullky and turned the mighty pacer over to a siable boy and walked slowly away. The official time for the quarter 1%, half 1:028, 1:34, mile 2:05%,. Hul Pointer, who has eclipsed all records made in harness, is a bay gelding, sixteen hanas high, sired by Tom Hall, out of Snow Haven, Heis owned by Henry Hamlin of Buffalo, N. Y. The belting on the neat-in the auction pools was $9) to $50 that 2:06% would not ve beaten, though this price was lowered after the wind aied away to 340 to $50 that 2:06 would not be beaten, Bud Doble has expressed his determina- tiou to start Nancy Hauks against her record at the present meeting, and she will be sent, Saturday afternoon to beat 2:074, and Doblo is contident she can doit if weather and track hold good.

SERIOUS FIREMEN SAID TO BE WILLING TO GO OUT Men from Different Roads Joln the Strike rough Sympathy- tant Develop- nts ¥ d Within the Next sent Sitaatio Burraro, N Y., Aug. 18.~The sixth day of the switenmen’s strike in this city closed with fucroasing complications. The leaders of this strike have witnessed the movement and massing of troops with growing doter- mination to meet every aavance of their op- ponents with a counterstroke. Bofore to- morrow shall bave dawned 8,000 troops in the stato sorvico will bo upon the tield boro to watch and control about 800 strikers. The prosence of so large a number of soldiors is relied upon by the railway officials as a cover under which they may put to work the non- union men alraady engaged to broak the freigbt blockade, \What the counterstroke of the strike leaders may bo o tho situation wes b night- fall problematic, but it is not bevoud the range of near possibilities that tho firemen and traiumon on all the lines whero strikes now prevail may be culled out. The situation may bo brondly stated thus: The latest ad- dition of strength to the strikiog switchien was uninety men 1 the Nicklo Plato yards, who struck because required to handle boy cotted freight. Sonow thuswitehmon upoi vie entire Vauderbilt system in this vicinity aro out. The Luke Shore men, to be sure, wero WOrking ou the wes ern shedule, at the same rates for which their colleagues in Buffalo went on a strike lust Saturday. ‘T'ney went out solely to add streagth to tbo movemcnts of their Tellows. Strack Out of Sympathy, The Nickel Plate men who went out today struck only out of sympathy, for they ure ro- ceiving at”least 10 per cont bhighor rates than the men who originated the strike. ‘The Michigan Central, whbich is one of the Vanderbilt system, practically has no yards in Buffalo, their switcning being done on the Central’s tracks. So stauds the Vanderbilt system so far as the strike in tuis city is coucerned. The leaders of the striking men held to- night that the Vauderbilt roads are tied up and 1nactive at this point. Tu addition, the Erie, Lehign Valley and the Buffalo Creek roads aro likewise paralyzed by the strike. They feel that the movements against the roads by the men has now reached such mag- nitude in_this locality that 1t may not be necessary for uny men in other trades to bo called out at this -point. They have, how ever, n resorve n possible calling out of tho switchmen on the Delaware, Lackawanna & Western, Buftalo, Kochester & Pittsburg and the Western New York and Pennsyl- vania roads, The relations of these roads with the strikoe leaders are extromely amica- ble, und they will not be cailed out except to mako the strike absolutely complete in this vicinity, Indeed, it is more probavle that the fi men aud trainmen will be calied out on the hnes already sffecced by the switcamen’s strike, The writing of this dizest of tho situation at the hour of 9 o'clock is embar- rassed by the fact that oven vefore the dawn of tomorrow the switchnen of tne vari rouds affected here may bo calied out at § pension Bridee, Hornellsviile, Jersey City anc Rochester. May Extend the Strike to Chieagc The Deleware, Lackawanna & Western, which has alrendy conceded the vate de- muuded by the men, wenteven further teday and formally notified its employes that thoy were not to be ed to handle u pouna of boycotted froight. The resultis that tho men are extremely loyal to it. Theré can be no doubt tonight, but that before deciding this strike, the leaders will extend it to Chicago and New York, calling out perhiaps not only switchmen, but firemen and trammen. The strikers look forward to important developments in the next threo days. Although he is keeving nis whereabouts profouadly secret, thero can be little doubt, that Master Workman Sergeant ot the lo- comotive Hremen’s organization, is in this city. The strikers claim full sympathy on the part of th: firemen, and they state if they ure called out they will quit their en gines wherever the order may reach them. Master Workman Wilkinson of the Train- men's orderis hers tonizht, and it is said that the men ave ready to join the switch mou wheuever ordeced, but that the firemen 1f ordered out wili probably be first called, It is well to remember in weighing the claims and statoments of the strikers that this movement, unlike that of two vears ago upon the Central, bears the stamp of offi cinl reguiarity. It has been nandled and directed with deliberation, and the strikers tonight say that if deemed’ necessary, in the next three duys the movement will boe ex- tended from New York to Chicago. reight Moving Regularly. As to the condition of the tied up roads in ‘this city, their ofticials make statements strougly eontradicting the elnims of the men that the roads, as to their_freight trafiic, are paralyzed. So far as the New York Ceutral 15 concerned the strikers are in_orror. That roud is moving freigdt, not in a desultory way, a few cars at s time, butin trains, Thus today the Central, between 7 a, m. and v, m., deliveaed to the Lake Shore 255 curs. 1t took from tho delivery tracks of the Lako Shore all that road bad to offer and tonight there are seven Central tracks waiting for Lake Shore freigit. At tho Ohio street elevator and freight house, where tho lake freight is handied, the Central todvy ioaded seventy cars of mor- chandise and seventy-five cars of grain. These cars were then moved from Ohio stroet through the city (o the yards at Ea Buffalo. It is tonight claimed by Cen officials that their freight trafic in and out of the Kast Buffalo yards is progressing without interruption. Begioning tomorrow morning the Central will resume work at the Black Kock and Erio street yards. The officials feel that thoy reckon conservatively when they state that by Mouday the freight business in their vards will be moving normally. it should be borne in mind that no nigut work 1n the yards has been done, and the company does ot expect to resume night work until the troops bave been s0 placed us to aflord pro tection to Lhe new men whoare waiting in tho yards to vegin work, This, it 15 believed, It be not later than Saturday evening The Albany battalion and separate compa 1es from Troy, Awmsterdam and Utica, 44 men in all, arrived this wevening, The Twelfth, Thirtecuth and Twenty-second regiments snd separate companies from Yonkers, Hudson and Pouzhkeepsio will ar- rive at 4 o'clock tomorcow morning.

Burrato, N. Y., Aug. 18, —There wero rumors flonting about durinz the day that the Nickle Plate switchmen would be tne next to strike, but nothing aefinite was known until late this afternoon.

It was run by a Lehigh engine and crew, and arter they had gone awuy it siayed theroe. The Nickel Plate switchmen would not Iift a finger to nove the Lehigh's stuff and when compu.sion was tried they struck. At 4 o'clock every switchman on the Nickel Plato withnn the city limits stopped worlk. That means an addition of about nine wen to the forces of the strikeks und leaves only three roaas that have yards in the city unaffected.
