SHENANDOAH, PA, Sept. 22-With
the arrival of the militia here to-day THIS
borough assumed its normal condition and
the anticipated resumption OF violence on
the part of the miners did not occur. II
might have been the presence of soldiers
that RESTRAINED the turbulent element, but
many believe the lack of riotous scenes
was due to the fact that all the collieries
here w=re closed.
Fearing that an attempt to work the
mines to-day would result in possible
bloodshed Sheriff Toole last night re-
duested the mine owners to suspend opera
tions until after the troops had arrived.
The only collieTy. which attempted to work
to-day was the William Penn, operated
by the lSusquehanna Coal Company. The
employees were, however,, intercepted on
their way to the mine oy strikers who
succeeded in pursuading them to return
to their homes
The first detachment of troops arrived
here shortly before O'Clock this morning.
Guards and Eighth Regiment. General
Goblin established headquarters in the
Hotel Ferguson until he can find a suit
able place in the fed
The arrival of troops occasioned much
excitement among the residents, and es-
pecially the strikers who thronGed the
vicinity of the railroad station from early
were sullen and vented muttered threats,
but made no attempt at violence. Aside
from the incursion of the militia, the most
important occurrence to-day was a meet
ing of the English speaking mine workers
Of this vicinity. Among the speakers
were: Organizer J. f. Purcell. and Geo.
Harris, of the United States Mine Work
ers, and Paul Pauleski. Lithuanian
Labor Lacquer of this place. The meet
ms which was secret is said to have
been dominated by the foreign employes.
The English speaking men favored re-
turning to work on Monday, but the
foreigners voted them down and adopted
a resolution TO remain on strike. The
English speaking employees declare that
they will go to the mines on Monday, and
serious consequence may result.
This was pay day at the William Penn
colliery. and number Of armed deputies
were brought from Mahoney Plane and
placed on guard around the slope. The
mine workers were orderly, however, and
no trouble occurred.
DR.. Hamilton to-day made a post
mortem examination Of the body of John
Schonitski, the Pole who was shot and
Instantly killed during last nights riots.

and leaves wife and several children in
Poland. An inquest will be held on Thurs
day by Coroner Cardin-
The saloons which had been closed by
Burgess David Brown, after yesterdays
riot. opened to-day, and as a result sew
eral miners were arrested on the charge
of disorderly conduct.

Superintendent R. A. Quinn, of the VIII
liam Penn colliery, operated by the Susque-
hanna Coal Company. held a conference
with General Goblin tonight relative to tn

working.

Goblin that many of their employees wantet
to continue at work, but are fearful o
