A number of our people have recently
received circulars from the north part OF
the state relative to the work accomplished
by Gen. Grout during his congressional
career of nearly is years. So far as we
can learn the feeling prevails locally that
no fault should be found with Mr.. Grout
for his work of the past, but that he has
been we'll honored, and should be content
with what he has had. Many of our
people believe that ex-Gov. Dillingham; can
more nearly fill the place occupied by Nor
rill and Edmunds than any other man
now in the public eye.

of the striking miners were consider
ably augmenterd yesterday in this re-
the various collieries were promised
ample protection, but few Of them
showed a disposition to resume work.
In fact. at but one colliery in the imme-
diate vicinity of this town did sufficient
men report to permit operations. This
was the Cambridge colliery, owned by
James McGinnis 4 Co., which gives
employment to 40 men. Of this num-
her 1S0 are said to have worked yester-
day.
All Of the Philadelphia and Reading
collieries about Shenandoah, the coll
lieries in the Ellangowan and Gilber-
ton and st. Nicholas districts, the Will
lam Penn and all the mines at Mahanoy
City and all the Packer collieries oper-
ated by the Lehigh Valley Coal COM
pany are idle. The Girardville and Gill
berton collieries, which worked Sat-
urday, did not resume yesterday. The
only colliery that worked in Schuyl-
kill country east of Shenandoah was
the Park Place. Those in operation
between Shenandoah and Mount Car
mel were the Potts and the Bast in the
Ashland district, the Preston No. at
Girardville and the Locust Spring at
Locust Gap.
There were no attempts at violence
at any time during the day. Several
miners were intercepted by strikers on
their way to the Cambridge colliery,
but they suffered no injury. Last
night at closing time a crowd of strik-
ers assembled in the vicinity of the
same mine. but were dispersed by the
provost guard.
In anticipation of trouble the troops
were on the move early in the morning.
Some patrolled the roads in this vicin-
ity and others were sent to other sec
tions Of the anthracite region. On
their return last evening all reported
that no disturbances had occurred.
The only important incident of note
yesterday in Shenandoah proper was
the funeral Of John Chanitslzi the PO-
lander who was shot and killed dur
ing Fridays riot. About 1000 union
mine workers followed the body to the
grave while nearly as many more for
eign men and women walked along the
sidewalks to the cemetery. Services
were held in the Polish Catholic church
and when the cortege reached the cem-
etery Mother" Jones, who arrived here
yesterday morning, addressed the as
sembled mine workers. The procession
