TROOPS ANXIOUS TO LEAVE.
But General Goblin VIII Remain Until
Mon Go Back TO Work.

SHENANDOAH, Pa, Oct. 15.-Gen-
eral Goblin, in charge of the state troops
located here since the strike riot of
Sept. q, is anxiously awaiting the YER
diet of the operators in regard to the
terms of settlement agreed upon at the
Scranton convention.
He is anxious to get away and to send
the troops home, but the outbreaks at
Oneida and Lattimer last week and
the condition of affairs in the Panther
Creek region cause him to hesitate.
1t is probable that there will be no
movement of troops until it is known
whether the proposed terms of agree
ment are acceptable to the operators.
