ALL QUIET
At THE SHENANDOAH COLLIERIES,
The Riotous Strikers Still in Dangerous
Mood.
FEARS OF FURTHER TROUBLE,
Leaders of the Strike Show Signs o
DiSCOuragemsnt.

PoTTsvILLE, PA, February 4.-Ac-
counts from Shenandoah this morning re-
port sll quiet, and the collieries, the re-
sumption of which occasiOned theOutbreak,
are steadily at work. No further arrests
have been reported to the coal and iron
police headquarters in this city, though
officers are working up every possible clue,
and expect TO effect some captures during
the day.
The difficulty of Identifying the Polish
and Hungarian rioters greatly embarrasses
the efforts Of the police. Lieutenant
Meyer and Officer Delbert, of the coal aud
iron force, who fired upon the rioters,
came TO this city during last night, and
surrendered themselves and entered bail
for court. Their trial is, however, looked
upon as a mere legal formality.
The Shenandoah affair has Occasloned
marked revulsion of feeling, not only
among the general public, but also among
the more conservative and intelligent
classes Of the striking miners, and 1t is
believed it will exercise decisive effect
in breaking the backbone of the strike,
and bring about an early general resump'
ton. The strike leaders here evidently
appreciate the seriousness OF the injury to
their cause, aud show plain signs OF dis
couragement.
Everything is fairly quiet here to-day,
although the temper of the Polanders is
such that they may at any moment become
violent. The cheifea il that, encouraged
by their success last night, they may at.
tack the Kelley Run and William Penn
miners tonight when they quit work.

Press Comment ON the Strikers Outbreak
at POttsviIle.
NEW YORK, February 4.-The outbreak
at Shenandoah last night is generally con-
demned by the labor leaders here as well as
by the press
The Times says: The miners strike in
the Schuylkill region has now become a
riot, and the only thing to do with it is to
suppress it. The local police seem to have
been fairly efficient considering that the
outbreak was surprise. They are now
fully warned and there should be no diff
Guilty in keeping the peace of the State Of
Pennsylvania 4 riot is common con-
tessiOn Of the failure of peacea bic strike,
and it may be hoped that the miners will
soon be at work. The task of subsisting
some 80, 600 men who are earning nothing
is entirely beyond the resources of the
X. OF L., or the capacity of their leaders"
The World says: The men on strike in
the Reading coal region have borne them
selves peaceably through a month Of en-
forced idleuess with attendant exciting
circumstances, and il is greatly to be de-
plOred that breach of law and order has
now occurred. Yesterdays outbreak in
Shenandoah was no doubt without sane
ton from the controlling spirits of the army
OF strikers, but will none the less be
charged to their general account. Men
who resort to violence inflict the worst
possible Injury upon the best of causes, and
this cannot he too thoroughly understood
by the Reading strikers. Lawlessness will
surely react against them; that way lies
their greatest danger"

in the Eastern wool markets, Boston and

tirmer tone than in New York. On the
whole the situation appears TO be
stronger than at the beginning OF
the year. Heavy weight wooden goods
of all descriptions have been put on
the market, and though demand is hack.
ward in some respects fair volume OF
contracts appear to have been secured.
Prices are generally easier than last year,
but yet in some instances producers are
holding up to the figures which ruled
then. Holders of wool are making fewer
concessions than in January, and buyers
are not demanding them so generally. The
amount OF business doing at the current
values is considerable. The mills which
have been running with small stocks are
now increasing their holdings to some ex-
tent
A fair amount Of business is doing at
Boston, and the tore of the market is bet

changed, but manufacturers are ready to
meet them without much haggling.
There is good request for Michigan,
Ohio and Pennsylvania teeces at steady

the inquiry for quarter blood combipg

BLOODSHED.
PITTSBURG The SCENE OF RIOT.
Trouble Growing From the Solar Iron Works
Strike
STRIKERS HOOT At The "SCABS, ;
Who Rstaliats by Firing on Their Tor
mentors.

PITTSBURG, November 4.-As was fear
ed, collision occurred this evening be-
tween the On-uniOn men at the Solar Iron
Works and the strikers, in which three
persons were injured, one a sixteen-y ear
old lad named Joseph Kenna being fatally
shot.
The works, which have been idle tor the
past two months on account of a strike, re-
sumed operations yesterday with eighty
cOlOred men, members of the Garfield
Lodge of Amalgamated Association, which
surrendered its charter last Thursday.
A force OF twenty police was placed on
guard at the mill. and last night the nom
uniOnists were escorted to their homes un-
der police protection. A large number of
strikers and friends followed but offered no
violence, and cOntented themselves with
hOoting and calling the negroes 'scabs. ("
The mill was in operation again to- day
and deyerythingrun smoothly. The strikers,
To considerable number, stood in driz-
cling rain along the railroad tracks beside
and in front of the mill, and standing in
side the gates and around the
building ut the main entrance, were
number Of policemen and curious
ou-loOkers. WheL one of the cOlored men
working in the mill would come out of
doors II would be signal for loud shout
ing and cries of "scab" and "blacksheep,
but rs yet no violence whatever was of
fered.
Shortly after o'clock the n-union
men came out OF the mill They were
surrounded by officers, and the procession
started down the tracks to Thirty-third
street. There were about seventy men
under the protection of officers. The
crowd following, yelling at them, num-
bersd nearly two hundred men and boys
of all ages. When near Smallman street,
without any warning whatever, several of
the colOred meu drew revolvers and
opened ire upon the mob around them.
Then there was q scene OF wild cOnfu-
sion and excitement. lells of terror,
rage and pain rang out from the throats of
hundreds of angry aDdexcited men. The
tiriug lasted six or eight minutes and be-
tween thirty and forty shots had been
fired before the officers succeeded in stop
ping it and hustling the negroes up Twen
ty-eighth street, where they crossed the
bridge and scattered to their homes.
How many were wounded is not known.
Three were certainly shot, hut their names
or how seriously they had been injured
could not be ascsrtaiued, as they were
taken away by their friends.
A Ii year old lad named Joseph Kenns,
while standing on top of a car, was ot in
the lace. He is in serious condition and
may die.
The deplOrable affair may lead to serious
trouble. The strikers were completely
taken by surprise, not knowing THAI the
negroes were armed.
The excitement among the men IS stll
intense, and frequent threats Of vengeance
upon the negroes are heard.
