A refgn of terror compared with which the scenes enacted during the riots ot 1900, seem lnslgnlflcant, holds Shenandoah la its grasp tonight. Since 6 o'clock this even ing, Center street,1 which Is one of ths principal streets of the town, has been in the hands of an Infuriated mob. Two of the borough policemen were shot, one perhaps fatally. Joseph Beddall, a lead Ing merchant and cousin of Sheriff JBed dall, was brutally clubbed to death and upwards of a score of strikers. ' ' The trouble started about 6 o'clock this evening, when i Deputy Sheriff Thomas Beddall attempted to escort two non-union workmen through the strikers' line of pickets. The . workmen were dressed in their street clothes, but one ot them carried a bundle under his arm and thts aroused the suspicion of the strikers. The bundle was torn from him, and : when It was . found to contain blouse and overalls the man was taken from the deputy and beaten' almost to ieath. '. In the meantime, Beddall opened fire on the mob, which had gathered by this time and emptied his revolrer. Two of the shots took effect one man being shot In the -leg and the other In the foot. The deputy and the strike breaker were then compelled to fly for their lives and took refuge in the Philadelphia and Reading railroad depot. The depot was soon surrounded by an angry mob of five thousand, which was becoming more threatening and demon stratlve every moment. Joseph Beddall, a hardware merchant, and brother of t tie deputy sheriff, was seen makbg his way through the crowd In an effort to reach his brother, and the mob thinking that he was carrying ammunition to those in side the . depot, seised him and beat him with clubs and billies Into Insensibility. He died en route to the Miners hospital Shortly after this the entire borough police force -arrlred on the scene and escorted the deputy sheriff and his men to an engine which had been backed Into the depot for that purpose. When the mob realised that their prey was about to escape they surrounded the engine and the engineer , was afraid to move. In few moments, howerer, the police fired a rolley, dispersing the- crowd for a .brief period and the engineer turned on full steam and got away with his men. Stones were nowthrown thick and fast about the heads of the police, whereupon Chief John Fry gare the order to fire. At the first rolley the mob fell back and S3 vera! were seen to fall. Their retreat, howerer, as but momentary. They turned, and with revolvers, stones and eren a few shot guns they charged .on the little band of policemen and mads them fly for their llres.. The policemen turned in their fight at short Intervals and fired roHey after volley at their merciless pursuers, but ' ths mob seemed ' .r : urn THE NEW BATTLESHIP MAINE. Tha hew battlaaltin Mains, whioh Mesntlv on a builder's trial exceeded her contrast speed bj-nerlr one knot an hour, ie probably the wast formidable vowel of her elaas afloat. The Maine, -which was built to take tha plaoe of the veaael of the same name blown up in Havana harbor in 1898, is 39 feet long. 73 feet wide and has m "full-load" displacement of 13,500 tone. She earriee four 13-inch rifles, sixteen 0-tnoh rapid fliers, eight 14-pounden, eight 3-noundei and eight 1-ponndeis and machine gone, she has a belt armor tapering from 11 inches to T inches in thinknoai thoroughly Infuriated and smoking re volvers seemed to bars no terrors for them. I ' When the Lehigh railroad crossing was reached a passing freight train blocked the progress ot the men, two of whom were caught and brutally beaten. One orthem, Stlney Yacopsky, will die. It Is estimated .that upwards of ons thousand shots were fired and the wonder Is that mors fatalities did not result. More than twenty strikers, all ot whom were forelgTjprs, were shot and at least two of them will die. The following printed notice was posted by the mine workers all Over ths town. , ' "la view ot the disturbances that have occurred in Shenandoah within the past twenty-four hours, in otter disregard to the teaching and principles of the United HUH VTCU1J " BUU assawsvw wv Mine Workers, as WbrganU contrary to the explicit Instructions ot the leaders, we call jnpon all members bt the United Mine Workers to at once do all In their power. to suppress lawless ness, and to aid the officers In every way to maintain peace and good order.

The Bon Temps club on the Funvllle, Frollctown And Featherbrain railway was the trip which the members of the club enjoyed yesterday evening at the home of Miss Gladys, MltcbeU. The trip was a long one, though not in ths least tiresome. In fact ths passengers, when they reached their homes In the still soft hush of midnight, had that blank, listless feeling which invariably follows a person after being on a fast moving train on a pleasant trip. ; The home was beautifully decorated with lanterns, strewed all around ths wide semi circle porch. The atmosphere inst after a refreshing shower was so clear and pure that ths faces scattered around seemed to have a softer tint than ever before as ths mellow waves of the light from tbe'Japaneselaterns enveloped them. 'A .' "V"' ' ' - ' : Each member ot the club upon his ar rival was presented with along sxenr slon ticket with the names of twenty-tonr stations to fill out. The third station was stat 3d In this way: "A military de fense and a Paris dressmaker." The young ladies easily auswered this, "Ft Worth." The eighth station was "Oma ha." It was stated however in this way: "Begins with an exclamation, appeals to maternity, ends with a laugh." One of the stations proved an enigma for ths young men "a female habllment attire." If the young ladies had not answered Galveston" It is probable the young men would yet be traveling around look ing for this station. The colors of the erenlDg were pink and white. Cream and cake alter these colors were served to the couples In the parlor and on the porch.
