 At Nanticoke four men were arrested, charged with melting riot. It is al- legged they interferred with the deputies in charge of one of the mines of tho Susquehanna Coal company. The defend ants were held in $500 pan each. The of- ficials of the company representing the Nanticoke mine says they intended to pursue every case where their men are interferred with At the office of the local coal companies 1t is said that re- ports are being received daily that there is more or less dissatisfaction among the l strikers, and that their meetings of late have been stormy affairs. It Is said that a large element is not in favor of the present method of distributing relief or of continuing the strike under present conditions.

 Peace at Shenandoah.
 Shenandoah, Pa, August 5.-The peace of this troop protected town remains unbroken The unsettled feeling which has been apparent for the past few days. however continues. It was a lively day at brigade headquarters, where all the staff officers were kept busy in connection with the movements of the troops and in keeping in touch with the situation of the entire country. There were many rumors of trouble but excepting at Cir ardville, where a workman was shot and slightly injured. nothing of a serious nature occurred anywhere. Brigadier General Gobin was unusually alert how ecer, and kept soldiers in readiness for instant use all day long. Many stories of threatened trouble reached him but he was able in every instance to run them l uOWn WlLlOul SeDul0B out utldll ol men. Officers around headquarters feel that the tension is increasing and would not be surprised If some of the troops | now in camp here were sent into the sur | rounding region. The brigadier general says he will not send for additional men until there is need for them. It Is not | unlikely, however. that a battery and another troop of cavalry will be in the field by the end of the week.

The prisoners are Antony Kim | ovitz and Stanislaus Zukowald. Each had been shot in the foot during the riot and was unable to walk. They were | located in boarding houses in the heart of the foreign quarters of the town. The constables feared that trouble would en- sue of they attempted to make the arrest themselves and upon their suggestion | General Gobin sent a platoon of Com pany of the Twelfth regiment to pro- tect them. The soldiers fromed a line around the houses and the two Lithun- fans were carried from the house and placed In an open wagon.
 Crowd of Foreigners Gathered.
 By this time a crowd of foreigners of different nationalities had gathered around the soldiers and followed them and the prisoners to the office of Squire W. IT. Shoemak r. where the prisoners were given D lring. While the hearing was in progY ss the platoon kept the crowd some distance from the place.
