RIOEING RENEwED.
More Trouble at the Shenandoah
COIIlerIes-POiice Officers shot.


SHENANDOAH, Pa, February As
anticipated the riot Of last night was re-
newed this evening, and the manner in
which it was gone about leaves no fur
Their room for doubt that it is part OF
au organized plan to compel all the
miners to 10y idle until general re-
sumption of work takes place. An inn
mense crowd OF strikers gathered near
Kelley Bun colliery when the time APP
preached for the miners to quit work.
The frort ranks were composed OF Poles
principally, all apparently armed with
pistols. The breaker boys were first to
leave the colliery, and they were set upon
and beaten Is savagely as If they had
beenmen. The coalandiron police formed
in close order and marched through
the streets, clearing a passage for the
miners to 20 home. While thus en-
gagged they were fired upon by num-
Der OF Poles, who were concealed in the
shadow Of bank of earth, and two Of
fcers were badly wounded, one probably
fatally. The officers fired over the heads
of the mob, but they did not scare, but
gave way slowly, keeping up a steady
fire upon the officers. The latter finally
reached their barracks without further
harm, where they now are. Part OF the
mob followed and besieged them there,
but made no attack. The officers have
their carbincs, and the Poles seem to
have a wholesome fear Of the sixteen
shooters. After the shooting had been
done Chief Burgess, with few specials
and members of the strikers Advisory
Board appeared on the scene and sue
ceeded in getting the major portion OF
the crOwd-nOt the combauve part,
thuugh-to dispense to their homes, and
temporary peace WAS obtained. The
worst element OF the Poles, however,
remained near Indian Ridge waiting for
"a chance to get at the officers. who re-
NAMED inside attending to their wound
ed brothers as best they could.
About $3.50 q, NJ. four car loads Of men
came to town over the Reading road from
Mahanev Plain and other points,
and the train was run past the
depot and under the coal-shutes
Of the Indian Ridge breaker, where
they remained. They are believed
to be coal and iron officers massed here
for the purpose of controlling the mob.
CAPTAIN Christian foresaw what was
coming to-day, and told the Associated
Press representative that by evening be
would have enough men here TO take
care of themselves AMI protect pro-
perty. 1t is believed that these are the
men, although no one Is allowed to APP
proach near enough to ascertain posi-
lively.

Angry Partners CIub Each Other.


Proceedings have been begun in the
CITY Court in Brooklyn by Asher l..
Piddian, the junior partner OF the frm Of
Edward Sanders & Co., brokers in Aus
trian bonds, legalized lottery certih-
Gates, etc., at No. 90 and 81 Broad
way, for an accounting. For some
time matters have been strained between
him and Mr.. Sanders, owing, it is said,
to his refusal to marry the latter S
daughter, which the father requested.
The papers in the case were served on Mr..
Sanders on Wednesday afternoon, and
in them it was set forth that the failure
on Piddinn's part to marry Miss Sanders
had broken up the pleasant relations OF
the firm.
Dir. Piddian wentintO the office shortly
after the papers we're served on his part
ner. and the Deighbors thought bedlam
had broken loose for a few minutes.
Mr.. Sanders and his son fell on the
Junior partner. and the former used
club with good effect on Mr.. Pid-
dian, but the latter wrested it from
him and hit him resembling thwack
on the head, removing quantity oil
skin and hair. Mr.. Sanders was ct a
disadvantage because he has wooden
leg. The police were called in and the
three men were taken to the police-sta-
ton and each made charges against the
other, but none OF them were held, and
they were advised to settle the difficulty
in police court
Mr.. Sanders lives at No. 63 east Sixty
first street, New York, and is fifty-seven
years old. He was unable TO appear at
his Office yesterday in consequence OF his
injuries. Mr.. Piddian is twenty-six years
old and lives at No. 223 south
Fourth street, Brooklyn. He has
been in business with Mr.. San
ders for a year, and had charge
of the office until the differences arose
in the firm. Since that time Mr.. San
ders has appeared there every day, and
he is said to have threatened to ruin Mr..
Piddian for not marrying his daughter.
An Injunction was secured yesterday to
restrain Mr.. Plddian from opening the
money-box Of the firm deposited in the
First National Bank, in Broadway,
Brooklyn.

eighty we're colored mea who had aban-

When these men quit work tonight they

hundred men throwing stones among
the negroes, taunting, jcering, and
threatening them until the negroes grew
frightened and uncomfortable. They
drew their pistols and began firing upon
their tormentors, who scattered. Three
persons are known to have been shot.
one probably fatally. 1t is impossible
as yet to learn the full extent OF the
casualties. The police had great diff

THE HERO 0FraE EXCHANGE.
Here's a Thrilling Tale or John Wood
ana q Fire-Hose.
New York World.l

iNtH 1bFA NOlA-i
John W. Wood is clerk in Secretary
Elys Office in the New York Stock Ex-
change. Just before the Exchange
opened yesterday morning he saw pull
OF smoke and flames under the rostrum.
Mr.. Wood had evidently been reading
tales of men who jump into envla0le
inches in the temple of fame by per-
forming daring feats at fire, and so he
prepared to climb up to a lofty position
IN the temple himself. He quickly har-
messed himself to a BabcOck tire-ex-
tineuisher and started for the fire.
But he WAS not skilful man, and IN
bis anxiety to save time tried to prepare
the machine for action on his way to the
fire. He broke the glass, AMI quart OF
liquid got down his neck. Still his am
bition, which, very naturally, was quite
fiery, could not be dampened even by n
Babcock cxtinguisher, and, amid the
plaudits OF the brokers, he lugged the
machine TO the fire. Alas here he
met another obstacle. He could not
turn on the stream. The brokers told
him to "let it go" and do other things
which he really could not. Thinking
the hose was stopped up he blew his
breath down it and about the same time
some one turned on the stream. Mr..
Wood gave up all thoughts of being
hero then and there, for the broker who
was assisting at the machine had killed
his ambition. They picked Mr.. Wood
up, what there was of him, and tendcrly
laid him down where the fresh breeze
was blowing and the wild bulls camenot.
There he revived.
An alarm had been sounded and fire
engine dashed mp to the exchange. An
uncovered electrc-light wire had caused
the trouble, which was remedied in a few
minutes. Several beams were charred.
The Babcock extinguisher was not hurt.

NEW YORK, February A Macon
(Ga) special says: In Baker county a
young man went to the house of Amos
Grant. a colored farmer, and finding all
quiet and the house closed he looked
around for the cause. and found the body
Of Grant hanging from a rope thrown
over a projecting joist in rear of the
house. Inside he found Mrs. Grants
body in bed, her head crushed into Il
Jelly as if by n club. On the floor was
the body of the wiie's sister. Further
over was the body of Grants ffteen-year-
old son. The theory is that as Grant
was hard task-master his wife was about
to leave him, and that Grant, frenzied by
the thought Of her departure, took aclub
and Drained them all while they slept
and then committed suicide.

VERY THREATENING
tbs PUBLICATION OF TIE lUsrzo-
GERMAN TREATY.
What Il Is Held to Esau-Ihs Car Must
Come 10 Decision.


Copyrighted 1893 by the New York Associated
Preeal
BERLIN, February 4-While the semi
official press affects to regard the publ
cation OF the Austro-Germsn treaty as
having a pacific intent, officials and
diplomatic circles know that its real aim
is To force the Car to an immediate war
or compel him to submit TO terms for
permanent peace dictated by the allies.
The substance of the treaty has long
been known TO both the Russian and
French Governments. At the time Of
it's inception at the conference between
Bismarck and Count Andrassy at Gas
TEN, in August, 1879, confidential dis
closures stating the character OF the com
pact were made by Bismarck TO the Car
as an inducement to break oil negotla-
tons for Kusso-French alliance. The
day after the treaty was signed Prince
Bismarck made a personal communica-
ton of the fact TO both the French and
Russian Ambassadors, withholding only
the exact terms Of the treaty. The pub
LEGATION reveals nothing TO any European
Government
