SCRANTON, PA, September 22.-Prio.
to call for State troops tonight, Sheriff
Schadt, of Lacka wanna county, issued
proclamation In which he said in part:
Il am informed that since the miners
strike began numberless acts of violence,
intimidation. and terrorism have been,
and are still being, committed in the
county, having for their object intinlida-
ton of the men who wish to work for
the support Of themselves and their fami-
lies, and the punishment of those who are
now at work. These acts consist in part
OF the stoppage of men by crowds upon
the public highways, stoning. clubbing.
and otherwise assaulting individuals at
their homes and on the highways. and
assaults by riotous mobs on the houses
of workmen, and on the buildings con-
nected with the colleries; the use of vio-
lence, abusive and threatening language,
and other similar acts.
Nov therefore I. Charles II. Schadt,
Sheriff Of Lackawanna county, do hereby
direct and order that all persons who
shall be disposed in any manner to IN
tinnidate, threaten. and try to prevent by
force any person or persons from eyercis-
ing their right to work. shall Immediately
desist therefrom. In case this proclama-
ton shall not be effective, and prevent
all and any acts Of lawlessness, 1t shall
be my duty to call for such assistance as
the proper officers of this Commonwealth
are required to give, and the laws Of the
State provide"
Another day of innumerable petty out

Gompers on the Strike.
WASHINGTON, September 22.-Presi-
dent Gompers. of the American Fedora
ton of Labor. said to-day that the stril1-
ers In the Pennsylvania coal field were
prepared to hold out for two months. He
said the miners were disposed to make
concessions. but the operators had re-
fused all oyertures from them, and that
the men now are not going to yield.
The strikers" he said, ARE receiving
all the supplies they really need, and can
continue their fight Indefinitely. The
Federation will do all it can to aid them.
One thing is certain, and that is, that
the strikers will never yield on the basis
OF dismemberment Of their union organi-
cation, which is all that has raised them
even ever SO little above their desperate
condition.

"rHE LIARS. AT THE B1Jou.

THE LIARS AT THE BlJOU-
The Liars was presented at the Bijou
last night by George Fawcett's company,
headed by Frank Gilmore. supported by
a company or artists the superior of
which has not been seen in Richmond IN
many a day. The play has been seen here
before. but never presented in manner
more acceptable nor to more apprecia-
tive audience. Mr.. Gilmore is pains
taking, studious actor. He is free from
"a nting and carefully avoids overplaying
his role. Dewitt C. Jennings, remem-
bered here as a member Of the Gifen
Company, as Edward Falkner; Charles
B. Hawkins, Of the same company. as
Archibald Coke, and Miss Grace kim
ball as Lady Jessica Nepean, were en-
trusted with the other leading parts, and
splendidy acquitted themselves.
The play IS along new lines in many
particulars. It has the neglected wife,
the husbands who thinks that man has
but to win woman to become her mas
ter: the infatuatio for the neglected
wife by an ardent lover; the gossips and
tattlers who enjoy the possibility of
scandal, and the man who holds up to the
erring couple the folly of the step they
are about to take; the ease with which
gossips can distort what they hear, and
see is cleverly portrayed, and the finale
is that the wife is brought back to her
husband and all ends well. despite the
entreaties of the ardent lover to lead the
wife from her home and reputation IT
is strong play, well presented, and car
ries lesson that is wholesome and last
ing.
Mr. Jennings and Mr.. Hawkins were
cordially greeted when they entered. and
We're applauded as they read their lines.
The whole company is a good one, and
the play one that will please the public.
The capacity of the house was the size
of the audience. The play will be pre-
scented to-day and tomorrow.
