Troops Maintain order
Shenandoah, Pa, Aug. O. The
peace of this troop-protected town
remains unbroken. The unsettled
feeling which has been apparent for
the last few days, however, continues.
1t was lively day at brigade head
quarters, where all the staff officers
were kept busy IN connection with
the movements of the troops and in
keeping in touch with the situation
in the entire county. There were
many rumors of trouble, but except
ing at Girardyille, where workman
was shot and slightly injured, moth
ing of serious nature occurred any,
where. Brig. Gen. Goblin was unu-
sually alert, however, and kept SOL
diers in readiness for instant use all
day long. Many stories of threat
ened trouble reached him, but he
was able in every instance to run
them down without sending out a
detail of men. Officers around head
quarters feel that the tension is in
creasing and would not be surprised
If some of the troops now in camp
here were sent into the surrounding
region. The brigadier general says
he will not send for additional men
until there is need for them. 1t is
not unlikely, however, that battery
and another troop of cavalry will be
in the field by the end of the week.
Rioters Arrested.
Two injured Lithuanians, who were
in the riots last week, were arrested
Tuesday. The constable located
them and asked the military officials
for protection while the arrests were
made. The two prisoners, who sus-
tanned wounds in the feet, were
boarding in the foreign quarter of
the town. A detachment of the
Fourth regiment surrounded the
house and the men were placed on
wagon. The soldiers then formed
Gordon around the vehicle and es-
corted it through the streets to the
Office of Squire Shoemaker. who COM
mitted the men to louisville Jail. A
third foreigner was taken into Gus
tody later in the day.
The three foreigners were held in
$4,000 bail each on various charges
in connection with the riot. After
the hearing they were taken in car
rage, surrounded by a company of
soldiers, to the Pennsylvania road
station. The journey to the station
was made on a run through the for
eign settlement. At the depot COM
pany X, of the Fourth regiment, was
lined up in charge bayonet forma-
ton. In the bluff overlooking the
station there were more than 1000
strikers. The crowd was kept at
distance and the men were soon
whirled away to the Pottsville jail.
