 P1rTsBURe, Jan. 2o.-A temporary quIss prevails throughout the Msnsneld coal re- zion, the scene of Saturdays riotiug. Bus few strikers are seen out of their houses. and the deputy sberiffs on guard at the various mines in the district had little to occupy their attention. By many, how ever, the calm was regarded ss preceding the storm. There are we'll grounded fears of another outbreak, and the law abiding citizens are preparing to meet it Trusted foreigners who were supposed Co be fla sympathy with the rioters were sent cut by the coal operators. They circulated freely with the strikers and returned with the information that preparations were be- ing made to attack the works at Bridge ville, Rosevale and BcadlinR
 The feeling among the rioters is very bitter against the Recalling brothers for the killing of Frank stepitE, and they as- sort that they will have revenge.
 If another attack is made on the Bead ling works, the foreigners will meet with s still warmer reception than that accord
 
 Beadling family, and every one of them is as determined and brave As the thrvs who put to flight mob of several hundred.
 Thomas Recalling says he and his two brothers fired at least 100 shots, and he ix satisfied that If a search of the strikers houses Is made at least a score of wounded mon would bc found. Frank Stspitx, who was shot through the body, died.

 Squire c. F. Mayer, whose general sters was attacked by the mob. lsid information against lo men whom be recognized among the rioters. Posses will go after them to- day. At present there are ovsr 100 armed deputies on guard throughout the region. and this number will be doubled if poesi- ble Thore are strong reasons for believing that the anarchists hereabout are rcspon- sihle for Saturdays disorder.
 It ia known that the bulk of the insur- gents came from Bower Hill, and upon the authority of Rev. Father Jacob Worth, pastor of St Joseph's German Catholic church at Mansfield, there are at leamt 100 families on Bower Htll who openly svow anarchism. Their bible is radical anarch- ist sheet printed in Wisconsin and sppro- pristely named Luoifer, aud the confession of faith is set forth in the specious sophis-
 
 ten by an unfrocksd priest named Michael Biron-a man of good education who fell away from the church when in Mains. Germany. He Is now publishing this sheet in Madison, Via, and it has a considerable number of subscribers in this section and in the coke regions
