Clouded sky - otherwise pleasant

Vulcan worked 9 hours - BMtn idle - for the want of cars -

Tried one of the Air Locomotives at B Mtn today - Run into the east and west 4' Lift - Pulled in 9 empty cars and pulled out 12 loaded easily - Works first rate - Gauge showed 650 lbs pressure -

The situation at Hazleton is about the same - there are now stationed there, 5 regiments of infantry; 2 troops of Cavalry, including City troop of Philadelphia; and 1 Battery of Artillery - The troops have had a very good effect - Populace treats the soldiers all right.  The feeling is very bitter against the Sheriff and deputies - Papers for the arrest of the Sheriff and deputies have been issued, but General Gobin refuses to place them under arrest - 12 of the dead were buried today - Thousands of miners followed the remains - It was supposed that the Commander in Chief would allow no marching of the strikers at the funeral, but they marched - 6 masked men mobbed a pump Engineer who is a cripple, at Audenried on Saturday night - This Pump man refused to strike -
