ALL QUIET AT SHENANDOAH.

Shenandoah, Pa, Aug. Perfect
quiet prevails here today and no further
outbreak is expected. The 1900
soldiers called out yesterday are saunter-
ing about the country as if on vaca-
ton trip. They anticipate no trouble.
Picket lines and sentries are posted but
they have nothing to do, for the strikers
have determined to hereafter refrain
from participating in any disturbances.
1t is hoped that the Governor will
decide that the presence of the troops is
unnecessary and will withdraw them.
The soldiers having nothing else to do,
will occupy thier time in target practice
and regimental drills. General Goblin,
in charge of the militia here, says that
the situation is more than satisfactory
and that he has not thought of declar-
ing the town under martial law. The
general opinion is that the troops will
not remain here long.
Shenandoah, Pa, Aug. Several
times last night and this forenoon, Gen
eral Goblin was asked to send troops to
to quell petty disturbances about the
county, but in each Instance he de-
clined to act until the sheriff had as
serted his authority. General Goblin
declares that his troops are not in the
field to do police duty. No answer has
as yet been received from the Governor
by the advisory committee of the Ninth
anthracite district of the United Mine
Workers of America. In reply
to the petition sent yesterday
asking for the removal of the troops on
the ground that their presence here is
unnecessary. There is much sOrrOwing
today on all hands at the death last night
of Joseph Beddell the young hardware
merchant who was frightfully beaten in
the melee of Wednesday night. This is
the first and only death as the re-
suit of that encounter, but patrol
man Uritz, of the city police force,
is reported at deaths door AS the
result of his injuries. Others of the
brave little band ofpoicemen who were
wounded in the riot are reported improv-
ing today and information gathered
among the city physicians is the forty
trikcrs who were wounded will all recover
so far only two arrests have been made
Both are foreigners and were taken into
custody after having walked fifteen miles
to Ashland where they applied at hos
pital for treatment for gunshot wounds.
