SHENANDOAH, Pa, Feb. 5.-Sunday
has passed off quietly. The streets are
unusually crowded, with no external in
dicatiOns of a renewal of hOstilities. but
this may come if an effort is made to
start the collieries tomorrow. AS far
as can be learned William Penn will be
the only individual and Suffolk the only
company cOlliery that will be worked
here on Monday, and if any outbreak
occurs it will be centered in the Suffolk
mines. Of the victims of the trouble
thus far Base Ball Player Heferon, shot
in Friday nights riot, is in bad shape,
and he was taken to-day to the miners
hospital at Ashland. Policeman Will
Jams, shot in the thigh on Saturday, was
taken to his Pottsville home. The 9TH
ers are out of danger. Quiet inquiry at
the various drug stores and of physi-
clans disclOses the fact that over dozen
cases of gun-shot wounds are being
treated about town. The bOr-
Ough and county officials have at
last awakened to full sense
of their duties, which, it is sal d, has
been fastened by the delivery of Mana
ger McLeOd'S message that if they did
not act the state was to be appealed to
for military aid. The borough officials
have sworn in several scores of spe cial
officers, but have not yet ordered them
Ondulty. Sheriff Duffy was in Potts
and Readings counsel, resulting in
the organization of posse comitatuS
of 100 men to start with. the mum ber to
be increased if needed. This force is
now being recruited at POttSEille,
Shenandoah and other points. The
county guarantees the wages and ex-
penSes of these deputies. These men
will be concentrated about the town and
brought up from Pottsville during to-
night and will be handled separately
from the coal and iron police in Older
to increase the power of the latter.
Sheriff Duffy will issue the following
PROCLAMATION ON MONDAY:
To the Citizens of Schuylkill County,
Greeting: -, 80
Whereas. During the past week
breaches of the public peace and riots
have occurred, and riotouS aSsemblages
have gathered in and near the borough
of Shenandoah, in said county, contrary
to law and against the peace and dig
nifty of the commonwealth, and,
Whereas, BY such means the public
has been greatly disturbed aud life and
property thereby endanged, and it is
apprehended that further similar acts
OF violence may be committed. and,
Whereas, The peace of the said
county is by law committed to my keep
ing. and by virtue of my office it is my
duty to protect and preserve the pu bile
peace within said county at all times;
Now, therefore, /. Bernard j. Duffy,
high sheriff ofthe said county of Schuyl-
kill, do caution and command under the
penalties provided by law, all persons
to desist from the commission of any
acts OF violence and from congregating
in crowds, for unlawful purposes. or
where unlawful acts are being OF in
tended to be committed, ,and do further
call on all good citizens, especially in
the borough of Shenandoah and vicinity,
to aid and assist in maintaining peace
and good order in the community.
BERNARD DUFFY, Sheriff.
Additions to the coal and iron special
police force about here continue to be
made. Sunday was spent drilling men
and formulating plans of action. These
officers can't be commended too highly
for their demeanOr thus far and are in
dorsed in all they have done. There
are several hundred men on duty at the
company property here, and any further
attempt at violence will be summarily
dealt with. Priests, both Catholic and
Polish, have spoken strongly against
riOting in and out of church to-day and
counseled all to go to work and thus end
the strike. Prominent citizens were
numerously urging strikers to
prevail on the Huns and Poles
to desist breaking the peace.
The company officials say that one more
effort is to be made to operate the col
lieries about Shenandoah, and if
present troubles are repeated will close
down all their works there indefinitely,
which would soon depopulate this coal
city of $4,000 inhabitants and bankrupt
all business men.
LEARNED AT POTTSVILLE.
POTTsVILLE, Pa, Feb. 5.-Everything
has been quiet throughout the coal
region to-day. AT Shenandoah the
sheriff and coal and iron officials were
busy organizing police force
and preparing for red hot
work on Monday. The gathering
of applicants for appointment as men,
berS of the sheriff'S posse this evening
made matters lively at the coal and iron
headquarters. Seventy-five men were
enrolled, armed with revOlvers and sent
to Shenandoah on the midnight train.
Lieut.. Meyer, who took part in Fridays
melee, is in charge. The strike leaders
are demoralized and are trying to pre-
vent further outbreak, and the general
opinion here is that there will be gem
eral resumption shortly, as the better
gusted at the lawlessness.
