FIRED ON THE MOB.

The tragedy that has been looked
for since the coalworkers' strike was
inaugurated cane suddenly and unex-
pectedly at Shenandoah, Pa, yesterday
afternoon.
A posse hurriedly gathered together
by Sheriff Toole, of Schuylkill county,
to meet an emergency, was forced to
FIRE on a mob that was threatening
workmen on their way home under es.
cort. A man was instantly killed and
seven others more or less seriously
wounded.
Sheriff Toole lost no time in calling
on the commander of the National
Guard of Pennsylvania to send troops
to aid him in keeping the peace. Al
ter consultation, the State authorities
at Harrisburg decided, at midnight, to
send troops to the turbulent region.
The Fourth, Eighth and Twelfth reg

Goblin in command.

Sheriff Toole, who hopes in this manner
to avoid further rioting.

thing is quiet, although preparations
are making for an outbreak in the

deputies are much 10 evidence there.

SATURDAY EVENING. SEPT. %, 1900

For months we have been reading
announcements of the closing up OF dill
ferent establishments all over the couD-
try and especially in the industrial Gen.
tres of New England and other por'
tions of the North. At Fall River,
Mass, about 10000 men, women and
children were thrown out OF employ
ment months ago and we have seen DO
announcement of q general resumption
of work. In August FIVE thousand
operatives we're thrown out at Bidde'
ford and Saco, Maine, and nationai
banks are failing there too. II all tnls
be republican prosperity. we imagine
the poor working people would ike
something else. And new comes on a
strike of something like 10000 miners
in the anthracite regions OF Pennsyi-
vania. with prospect of prolonged
contest and an addition to the army OF
the unemployed. This is not all. we
read a report of conference OF tne
Amalcamated Association OF Iron ana
Steel Workers at Cincinnati September
10. to consider the reply to the de-
nsnds Of $4,000 men who have been
idle since June 80. 1t was thought tna'
the matter could be arranged, but a sus-
nension of work for 10000 men during
two and half months is very serious
matter. 90 the heels Of this and the
great coal strike, we read OF notice
being posted at the four mills oil the
Susouehanpa Iron and Steel Company
a. Columbia, Pa, announcing re-
duc,ion OF % per cent in wages, Affect
ing $4,000 men, and it is also stated
that the mills at Lancaster, Harrisburg,
Brunswick and Lebansn, Pc, have al
ready made a similar reduction. And
all this cutting down Of wages is coz
temporaueous with large increase 10
the price OF nearly all the necessaries OF
life for the poor, affecting especially the
retail trade, 90 which the miners depend
for buying their supplies. And YET
Mr. Hanna and the republicans cry out
'bebold prosperity and a full diOner
pail" Their idea is that lie well
stuck to is as good as the truth. There
is no danger OF the lie factory being
closed ND
