Posting Troops at Duryea-SOl-

PHILADELPHIA, Pa, Sept. 25.-While
there was considerable disorder and many
acts of violence in sections of the hard
coal region to-day, the lawlessness was not
so general as IT was earlier in the week.
The presence of additional troops and a
drenching rainstorm assisted greatly in the
preservation of peace. Governor Stone, at
Harrisburg, in replying to question
whether martial law would be declared,
said there was no necessity for such a
move as the militia was merely aiding
the civil authorities. He also stated that
he was determined, at all hazards, to sup
press disorder.
The most serious outbreak to-day occur

of the soldiers of the Thirteenth Regiment.
A nonunion miner, named Winston, was
dubbed to death by band of Hungarians
and his son-in-law was badly beaten. Near
Wilkesbarre a coal and iron policeman was
almost dubbed to death. Reports from
other parts of the region show that petty
cases of violence continue TO occur. The
lower anthracite region is comparatively
quiet most of the lawlessness occurring
in the vicinity of Scranton and Wilkes
barre.
Brigadier General Goblin is keeping many
of his soldiers on the move, either shift
ing their camps sending out companies
to scatter crowds. This afternoon he
moved the Eighth Regiment. which has
been stationed at Shenandoah since July
81 to Duryea, half way between Scranton
and Wilkesbarre. A company of the Thir-
teenth was sent to Forest City, the ex-
treme northern edge of the hard coal beds
and about twenty-four miles north of
Scranton. The company had a brush with
the mob on it's arrival, but no one was
hurt.
President Mitchell says the troops will
help to keep the men firmer in their deter
mination to stand out against the opera

daily placing more men at work and the
shipment of coal continues in small guam

The situation at Lebanon, where negroes

stationed there has the situation well in
hand.

GOVERNORS STATEMENT.


HARRISBURG, Pa. Sept. Ex-Governor
Stone was asked to-day If he would de-
clare martial law in the coal regions. He
said: Without discussing the power of
the Governor to declare martial law. it will
be wholly unnecessary to resort to that
remedy. The fifty-frst section of the act

have been sent into the coal regions to sup
press tumults, riots and mobs where the
civil authorities are unable to suppress
them. They will not interfere with the
civil authorities, but are there to aid and
assist them in preserving order. There is
a surplus in the treasury, and the
State is prepared to maintain large army
in the field for an indefinite time. 1 have
no hesitation in expressing my disapproval
of tumults, riots and mobs and all acts of
violence, and my determination to suppress
them and preserve order. regardless of con-
sequences and regardless of COST

Stone placing troops on duty in Lacka-
