PITTsBURG, Jan. 29.-The striking coal
miners in the Mansfield district seem
totally cowed by the disastrous attack on
the Beading mines. Peace prevailed in
the district Sunday and last night, and
the belief of the authorities is that no
further concerted attack will be made. 1t
is known, however, the foreign miners
have formed society, and surreptitious
attempts to destroy property are not un-
expected. All sorts of rumors of miners
in hiding ready to make attacks are afloat,
but it is not believed they are well
founded.
THREATS TO DRIVE MINERS FROM WORK.
WooDvILLE (Pa.), Jan. ga notice
was posted this morning by the strikers
at the Armstrong mines of an intended
attack on the men at work unless they
came out. A force of deputies was at
once sent to the mines and the strikers
soon scattered. Threats were made at
several other points and deputies were
sent to guard property. Deputies went
to Toms Run this morning and arrested
fifteen Slays and took them to Mansfield.
The Sheriff has received information of
plot by Slavs at Bower Hill to raise the
red flag and declare for blood. Adj
ditional deputies were sent there. There
are now over thirty rioters in Jail at
Mansfield.
EXCITEMENT AT MANSFIELD.
MANSFIELD, Jan. 29.-This has been an
exciting day in the Mansfield coal region.
From dawn to dusk reports of intended
outbreaks by striking miners in different
locations had been heard, and Sheriff
Richards was kept busy disposing of
deputies to protect the threatened plants.
Early in the morning miners were said
to be marching on the Armstrong works;
then they were assem- bling for an attack
on the works Of Foster IL Steen. In the
afternoon a mob was reported to be
gathering about the Ridgewood mines,
and late this evening an assault was
feared at the Rend IL Cherry mines, near
Mcdonald.
While there were good grounds in the
rumOrs, in every instance the prompt ap
pearance of the officers Of the law had the
desired effect. The strikers would quickly
disperse without having committed any
serious breach of the peace. Since the
afternoon the situation has developed no
immediate alarming features. Sheriff
Richards believes the worst is over. but
will keep deputies in the. districts several
days.
Considerable excitement was occasioned

anarchists would raise the red flag and
declare for blood. About fifteen for
eigners did appear with flag, but when
they saw Deputy Sheritfs on guard they
turned at once and fled.
Riotous demonstrations occurred at
Bridgeyille. Twelve Slavs entered
Fosters grocery store and demanded
guns and ammunition. They were re-
fused. and became boisterous and threat
ened to wreck the store. A squad of
Finley Vigilance Committeeman, fully
armed, pursued the Slavs and arrested
three.
An attempt will be made tomorrow to
start a number of the works. If no op-
position is met with the trouble for the
present may be considered over. Bead
Iings is well prepared for any attack that
may be made. A Calling gun has been
placed at the door of the company's store,
and large cannon faces the railroad.
Beside this they have Winchester rifles
for all the men and large stock of am
munition.
