ALL QUIET
at The SHENANDOAH COLLlERIES.
The RiOtOuS Strikers Still in a Dangerous
Mood.

PoTTsvILLE, PA, February 4.-Ac-
counts from Shenandoah this morning re-
port all quiet, and the collieries, the re-
sumption of which occasioned ne outbreak,
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 Deibert, Of the coal and
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 occasiOned a
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 a 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, and show plain signs Of dis
enlargement.
Everything is fairly quiet here to-day,
although the temper of the Polanders is
such that they may at any moment become
violent. The chieifeLr is 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 POttsvitle.
New YORK, February 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 a surprise. They are now
fully warned and there should he no diff
Guilty in keeping the peace of the State of
Pennsylvania. A riot is a common con-
fession of the failure of a peaceable strike,
and it may be hoped that the miners will
soon be at work. The task of subsisting
some 30, 900 men who are earning nothing
is entirely beyond the II OF the
X. of L., or the capacity of their leaders,"
The World says: THE men on strikei in
the Reading coal region have borne them
selves peaceably through a month of Ell
forced idleness with attendant exciting
circumstances, and it is greatly to be de
plored that a 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 iDflict the worst
possible injury upon the best of causes, and
this cannot be too thoroughly understood
by the Reading strikers. Lawlessness will
surely react against them; that way lies
their greatest danger"

A steadisr Feeling Reported From Boston
and Philadelphia.
New YORK, February 4.-Bradstreet's
say tomorrow: Some irregularity appears
in the Eastern wool markets, Boston and
Philadelphia reporting more active and q
firmer 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 back
ward in some respects a 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 80 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 tone Of the market Is bet
ter than for some time. Quotations are I'M
changed, but manufacturers are ready to
meet them without much haggling.
There is n good request for Michigan,
Ohio and Pennsylvania tleeces, at steady
values. Increasing strength is noted III
the inquiry for quarter blood combiDg
stock. Fair activity prevails in Territory
and Texas woods, and there is an excellent
demand for pulled wool. The stock of for
eign wool in the market is light, but large
sales OF supplies to arrive are reported.

BLOODSHED
PITTSBURG The SCENE OF RIOT.
Trouble Growing From the Solar Iron Works
Strike.

PITTSBURG, November 4.-As was fear
ed, a collision occurred this evening be-
tween the ~non-uniOn men at the Solar Iron
Works and the strikers, in which three
persons were injured, one a s~ixteen-year
old lad named Joseph Keuna being fatally
shot.
The works, which have been idle for the
past two months on account of = strike, re-
sumed operations yesterday with eighty
eolored men, members of the Garfield
Lodge of A~malgamated Association, which
surrendered it's charter last Thursday.
A force of twenty police was placed on
guard at the mill, and last night the nom
u~niOnists were escorted to their homes IN
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 everythingrun smoothly. The strikers,
to a considerable number, stood In drlz-
cling rain along the railroad tracks beside
and in front of the mill, and standing In
side the gates and round the
building at the main entrance, were
a number of policemen and curious
on-lOokers. When one Of the colored men
working in the mill would come out OF
doors it would he q signal for loud shout
ing and cries of ''scab" and 'blacksheep,"
but as vet no violence whatever was Of
fered.
Shortly after . o'clock the nOn-uniOn
men came Out of the mill. They were
surrounded by officers, and the procession
started down the tracks to ThirtY-thlrd
street. There were about seventy men
under the protection of officers. The
crowd following, yelling at them, num-
bered nearly two hundred men and boys
of all ages. When near Smallman street,
without any warning whatever, several OF
the cOlOred men drew revolvers and
opened fire upon the mob around them.
Then there was a scene of wild cOntu-
sion and excitement. Iells Of terror,
rage and pain rang ont from the threats OF
hundreds of angry AZ iexcited men. The
firing lasted six or eight minutes and be-
tween thirty and forty shots had been
fred before the officers succeeded in stop
ping it and hustling the negroes up Tween
ty-eighth street, where they crossed the
bridge and scattered to their homes.
How many were wounded is not known.
Three were certainly shot, but heir names
or how seriously they had been injured
could not be ascertained, as they were
taken away by their friends.
A II. year.Old lad named Joseph Kenns,
while standing on top of a car, was s OF in
the face. He is in a serious condition and
may die.
The deplorable affair may lead to serious
trouble. The strikers were completely
taken by surprise, not knowing that the
negroes were armed.
The excitement among the men is still
intense, and frequent threats of vengeance
upon the negroes are heard.
