IN AN UPROAR
Town at the Mercy of Mobs
of Striking Foreigners
Yesterday,
Ten Reading Mines Forced
to Shut Down.
Sheriff's Posse Fires on a Disorderly
x Crowd.
Two Hundred Special Deputies Sworn
in and Troops Called For.
STRIKERS THREATEN TO MAKE
A SIMILAR DEMONSTRATION AT
MAHANOT CITY, WHERE SOME
OF THE MINES ARE: STILL OP
ERATING PROBABLY LAST TON
MINED IN THE UPPER COAL
REGIONS.
Shenandoah, Pa., Sept. 21. A thous
and desperate and determined foreign
ers inaugurated a reign of terror here
today and created a semi-panic. They
assembled at various points in tne
suburbs and with yells, clubs and
stones terrified every miner on his way
to work. Miners in trolley and railroad
-ears were sought out and brow-beaten
or assaulted and sent home. The police
were powerless. No one was seriously
injured. The whole town, was soon com
pletely at the mercy of the moto It
compelled two of the Reading collieries,
which were working short handed, to
shut down. The mo"b visited a num
ber of other collieries, drove out the
breaker boys and compelled the surface
men to blow whistles, wtiidh brought
the miners out of the mines, and wfcen
the miners came to the surface drove
them off. r ' '.
The city was in an uproar during-the
greater part of the day. Ten of the
Reading collieries were tied up. Some
of the strikers say the same proceed
ings will be inaugurated tomorrow at
Mahanoy City, where seven collieries
are in operation.
The s-heriff and twenty deputies ar
rived on the scene at 5 o'clock this ev
ening, just as the miners were coming
out of the Indian Ridge and West
Shenandoah collieries. The strikers
began Intimidating and assaulting the
men but when the sheriff eommanued
the strikers to disperse they did so.
Half a dozen shots were fired in the air
as the strikers retreated. Later the
sheriff was reinforced by two hundred
deputies-armed with Winchesters and
revolvers. He established a picket
about the town and telegraphed the
governor for state troops. He was told
to preserve order during the night and
a conference will be held tomorrow.
There are numerous reports about
men being shot by strikers, but so far
as learned only a bystander was struck
with a stray shot and seriously wound
ed and a few others slightly wounded.
The sheriff endeavored to scatter the
strikers by firing vollies in the air but
without effect, and it was necessary for
the posse to charge them. It was only
after a tussle of twenty minutes, dur
ing which the strikers were driven into
the resident portion of the town that
the posse succeeded in dispersing
them. Five hundred strikers rallied
just before dark and with a shower of
stones broke a number of windows.
They were again charged by deputies
and dispersed.
The town council at a meeting to
night authorized the swearing In of
sufficient special policemen to protect
the town. Serious trouble is feared to
morrow. LAST TON MINED IN UPPER REG
ION. Wllkesbarre, Sept. 21. Probably the
last ton of coal to be mined for some
time in the upper coal region was taken
out of the West End colliery at Mo
canaqua tonight. Tomorrow it is be
lieved the strikers will be able to shut
It down and make the tie up of this
region complete.

ions. General Gobin will take com
mand and leaves tonight for Shenan
doah on a special train. He expects to
be at the scene of the trouble tomor
row morning. The governor received
numerous telegrams and messages
from citizens requesting him to send
troops. He was told that three persons
had been killed and fifteen wounded by
the strikers. The fact that the strikers
fired upon citizens of the town who
were defending the miners who refused
to strike is regarded by the governor
as the last straw.
MORE MINES CLOSED.
Pottsville, Pa., Sept. 21. -West Shen
andoah, Shenandoah Indian Ridge, Ko
hinoor and Turkey Run collieries, be
longing to the Philadelphia & Reading
Coal and Iron company, and Kehley
Run, the property of the Thomas Coal
company, all in the Shenandoah dis
trict, shut down tight J:oday. The men
at the Korinoor and Kehlev Run col
lieries were driven from their work by
a crowd of striking Lithunians ajid
Poles armed with clubs and stones.
They smashed windows and other mine
property. It was with difficulty that
Superintendent Baird and a posse of
men prevented numbers of the strikers
from entering the slope at Kehley Run.
After the workmen quit the strikers re
tired. The streets of Shenandoah were
crowded with strikers and others who
were drawn to the scene. A trolly car
was neld up and eleven men were
roughly handled. Some of them were
thrown out of the door.
The strikers policed every path to the
colliery and by threats intimidated
workmen and thus induced them to re
turn to their homes. Much excitement
exists. Daniel Christian, chief of the
coal and iron police, says his force is
unequal to the task of guarding the
collieries and that Sheriff Toole, of
Schuylkill county, has been appealed
to for assistance.

First Train Enters the City Mayor
Jones on the Situation.
Galveston, 'Sept. 21. The first tradn
arrive! there at 6:15 this mom ins.
trains are coming and! going slowly but
steadily. -More people are arriving
than are departing. The building of
the temporary bridge itowo and one
edgibfch miles long is one of the moslt re
Tna.rkJa.ble achievements in construction
work in the history of the world. The
freigh(t Bd'tuaition will now adjust Itself.
Martial law ended at non today.
There is a big demand for laborers
along tehi rwbarf front, also a greate de
mand for street cleaning laborers.
Wonders are being accomplished in
the way of cleaning up the city and
preparing to re-establisih industries.
'Every house left sitanding An)tadns
from two to five families. The good
weather has been a Godsend and san
itation is being improved.
It is now believed the ruins' In the
east, south and weslt ends contain
less than 700 corpses. The end of (the
weak 'will probably clear ithe city of
nearly all corpses. With next Sunday
supplies .will be denied all men at work
and earning money. Widows, orphans
and sick or crippled imen .will continue
to receive support.
THE RELIEF WORK.
Governor Joseph. Sayers has issued
tne following statement:
."I have supplied Galvestomi -with suf
ficient money to pay reasonable wages
to all laborers who will assist in
cleansing the city and removing the
vast amount of debris that nas accum
ulated. ' Pro visions and clothing have
also 'been; shipped there to supply those
Who are needy and unable to provide
for Ithernselves. I have also 'miade am
ple provision for tbe relief of sufferers
as they .reach and pas through Hous
ton from Galveston . As soon as I am
able I shall give to the public a com
plete itemized statement of all moneys
received by me, how they have been
distributed, eltc.
"The loss of life occasioned by the
storm in Galveston and elsewhere on 'ip
southern coast cannot be less than 12,000
while the loss of property will .probably
aggregate $20,000,000.. Notwithstanding
this severe affliction, I have every con
fidence that lt!he stricken districts will
rapidly revive and that Galveston will
from her present desolation' and sor
row arise with renewed strength and
vigor.
"To the people of the United States
whose nruniflcenJt generosity (has, with
out solicitation from me, contributed
so much to the relief of the storm suf
ferers, I, as governor of this state, 'beg
to tender my most profound and.'; moslt
grateful acknowledgments, assuring
them that -their generous benefactions
will be held in lasting remembrance by
the people of this state. We have no:
been left to stand alone in our itrouble,
but messages of earnest sympathy, ac
companied by large contributionis in
money and supplies and also in per
sonal assistance, through It he 'Red Crosa
and other benevolein-t societies, have had
the effect to relieve the situation of
much of its sadness and misfortune.'
