The authorities apprehend serious

probably be ordered out.
Strikers Again Troublesome.
Advices from Wilkesbarre, Pa, state:
Scores Of cases Of violence and intimf-
dation of an aggravated character oc-:
Cured Monday In the entire length Of
the $50 miles Of the strike region, and
as g. result two men are reported dy-
Ing, dozens injured, and more under
arrest. A bridge was attacked for the
third time in four days, and again de-.
'stroyed and an express train was held
up and searched by a committee Of
strikers
At 3 o'clock Monday morning the
Philadelphia and Reading Buffalo ex-
press was held up at the station in Ma
honey City and twelve or fifteen strik-
ers went through the train. They
made every man who looked like 8
workman explain his mission, where
be was going and in some cases show
papers to prove this, caused much
excitement and when some Of the men
looked into the Pullman to see II any
were hiding, three or four women
were badly frightened and screamed
for help. The train was allowed to
proceed after thorough inspection.
The bridge at Silver creek, which
was dynamited Thursday night, burn
ed Friday night and has since then
been under repair, was found Monday
morning to have two Of its spans
sawed through so that had a train
been run on it it would have broken
under the weight. The timbers erect
ed had to be replaced.
Sheriff Asks for Troops.
A Scranton, Pa, special says: Sher-
If Schadt, of Lackawanna county, ct
1880 o'clock Monday telegraphed Gov
ernor Stone to send troops to his as
sistance
The sheriff had just given to the
newspaper men a proclamation an
nouncing he would call troops II the
lawlessness did not cease when he re-
ceived a series of telephone calls to
quell disturbances up the valley. He
found on Investigation that the situa-
tion was such that he could not cope
with it, and sent call for troops. Adj
jutant General Stewart called the sher-
iff by telephone at 9 o'clock and had
a long conference with him. The adtu-
tant general suggested that posse OF
members Of the citizens alliance be
called upon for assistance. While the
sheriff was preparing to act on this
suggestion, he received more reports
of violence up and down the valley.
and at once sent another urgent tele-
gram to the governor, calling for I'M
mediate assistance.
The worst of the outbreaks cc-
Cured at Archibald. A crowd OF two
hundred strikers, mostly foreigners.
ransacked the quarters occupied by the
forty men employed at the Raymond
washery Of the Ontario and Western
Company while the men were at work,
and then, meeting with the men as
they were returning, drove them back
to the refuge of the washery. The
mob then returned to the -colliery
proper, drove out the engineers, FIRE
men, pumpmen and guards and took
possession of the breaker. The plant
Of the Crescent Electric Light Com
pany, which is supplied by steam from
the breaker, had to shut down, and the
whole region around was left in total
darkness. In the attack on the break,
er two men were shot, one striker
and the other a workman. Their names
or condition could not be learned.
