Pittsburg, July 26. - Sixty deputysheriffs have been ordered out. Their designation has been kept a profound secret, but it is supposed they are to be sent to the minea of the New York and Cleveland Gas Coal company in anticipatjn of ar.y raid that may be made. As tne ftrikers' officials declare that the contempla ted maren has been abandoned no conflict ia expected. Another search on Canonsburg was begun last night. A big meeting of miners was held at Reisslng at 3 o'clock yesterday afternoon. They were informed that the Allison mine intended to resoime work yesterday morning. and in a very short time it was decided to make another tramp aoross the country and r-jnforce the 100 strikers that have been guard. They will remain until tomotrow morning. There was a great hurrying to and fro in all the mining settlements in that section before the sun went down. Women have been among the most active agitators. Before evening more than 500 determined men from Cecil, Reissing and Bridgeville were mobilized at Bridgeville. Shortly after 7 o'clock they started on the march with tne American fiag at their head. Nearly every man carried a dinner pail, and they looked like a regiment of toilers going to their work. The whole country side along the line of march turned out to witness the sight. They reached the Allison mine at about o'clock and made the best of their quarters. Nothing was done in the way of arbitration Saturday. The commissioners rested, and expect to accomplish considerable during today. They will ende-avor to enlist more of the river operators, and have reason to hope that they will be successful. Bnazll, Ind., July 26. - The block coal miners met in mass convention here Saturday and reported every mine idle. Committees were appointed to visit many parts of the state and solicit aid for the needystrikers in the block fields. A letter was read from President Ratchford, stating that the national organization could not aid the miners in a financial manner, as less than $650 had been received by them and it was necessary to use this in getting West Virginia out. He said the report that the national committee had received a donation of $50,000 was a fake. The donation was $50.
