Hazleton, Pa, Sept. 25.--A battalion
of the Eighth regiment, composed OF
companies d, f and G, arrived at Nc
Adoo, the nearest point in SchuylMll
county to the city Of Hazleton, at 5
o'clock this morning. Owing to the
early hour there were not over a DE-
en- persons at the little railroad sta
ton on the outskirts Of the town to
see the infantry. The troops left the
camp at Shenandoah at o'clock, and
did not bring their camp equipment
with them, because they expect to re-
turn to Shenandoah tonight IL Meth
ing transpircs to require their further
presence near ldazleton.
Demonstration March
Lieut.. Col. Hutchinson, who is in
command of the battalion, said he was
ordered there to make demon ira
ton by marching his men through Nc
Adoo and the surrounding towns Each
man carried twenty rounds of ammu-
milton. As soon as the battalion had
left the ears Col. Hutchinson hired
team and made an inspection of the
surrounding country. He returned to
the railroad station at $50 a. m, and
Immediately gave the order to march.
The route taken was down the Tama-
qua road, through McAdoo and then
west to Honeybrook. Here wide de-
tour was made, which brought the
battalion to Audenreid LuZerne coun-
ty, and then they marched back
through McAdoo to the point from
which they had started.
Hostility to Troops.
The troops were received by the in
habitants of the various towns with
evidence of enmity and dislike. Not
cheer was given them at any place,
but many jeer was sent after them as
they passed groups of people on the
streets. The women seemed to be
more annoyed at the presence of the
soldiers than the men.
Urges Strikers to shoot.
One woman, after the troops had
passed, shouted to a group of men:
"If you don't shoot some Of those fell
lows you are no good"
Probably the most incensed person in
McAdoo over the arrival of the mill
tia was Edward ]. Mcclellan, a black
smith, who is the burgess of the town.
He stated that the action of Gen.
Goblin in sending soldiers there was
an outrage and a reflection on the
city of McAdoo. He said his people
were law abiding and pointed to the
fact that the town was so peaceable
that not a policeman was required at
any time except on pav days.
II shall not be respJ sible for any
overt act committed by any person in
this town while troops G.e here" he
said.
Two Galleries Working.
The entire Hazleton region was re-
ported extremely quiet this morning.
The NJ. S. Kemmerer mines at Sandy
Run, a small operation, are tied up for
the first time this morning, and the
Eckley colliery of G. D. Markle & Co.
is working with about the same force
as on Saturday, notwithstanding the
strong efforts made by strikers to
keep all --.e men from going into the
mine. The Lattimer mines were re-
ported to be tied up but the mine Of
flcials there say their colliery is work
ing as usual with only fifty short out
of /, 100.
Today was expected to witness
either a big break among the strikers
or the going out of large additional
number of mine workers, but neither
happened. Reports were received here
from mos. of the mining towns That
there were big gains or losses on
either siu
Every Mine Closed.
