THOOPS GOMPEL ER OF PEAGE Wrath Exists in Shenan- doah but Miners Are Quiet. Constables Arrest Wounded Men With Military Assistance. SHENANDOAH, Pa., Aug. 5.—The peace of this troop-protected town remains un- broken. The unsettled feeling which has been apparent for the last few days, how- ever, continues. It was a lively day at brigade headquarters, where all the staff officers were kept busy in connection with the movements of troops and in keeping in touch with the situation in the entire county. Tkere were many rumors of trouble, but excepting at Girardville, where a workman was shot and slightly injured, nothing of a serlous nature occurred anywhere. Brigadier General Gobin was unusually alert, however; and kept soldiers in readi- ness for instant use all day long. Many stories of threatened trouble reacned him, but he was able in every instance to run them down without sending out a detail of 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 surrounding region. Probably the most important develop- ment in the Shenandoah region to-day was the arrest and commitment to the County Jail of two wounded Lithuanians, who participated in the riot of lad week. The arrest was attended with a consider- able show of military force, the men being taken into custody by constables, who were surrounded by a platoon of infantry, and being taken through the streets under.| a strong guard. The prisoners were lo- cated in boarding-houses in the heart of the foreign quarter of the town. Each had been shot in the foot during the riot and was unable to walk. The constables feared that trouble would result when they arrested them and upon their suggestion General Gobin sent a platoon of Company L of the Twelfth Regiment to protect them. The soldiers formed a line around the houses and the two men were carried from the house and placed in an open wagon. A crowd of foreigners of different nationali- ties followed the soldiers and the prison- ers to the office of Squire Shoemaker, where the prisoners were given a hearing. The Lithuanians, along with a fellow countryman, who was arrested late Sat- urday night on the charge of being a par- ticipant in the riot, were then arraigned. TEC principal witness was Thomas B. Beddall, a deputy Sheriff, who was in the | riot. He identified the men and testified to having shot them in the feet. The men were then held on $2000 bail each and in default they were taken to the jail at Pottsville. sembles, ‘‘Carmen” not being the easiest of operas, but chorus, orchestra andyprin- cipals will have plenty of time to get ac- ua?led, as the opera goes also for next week. ————— ‘Will Protect Natural Beauties.

Limited. Twenty Thousand Dollars in Treasure Is Quickly Secured. DUBUQUE, Iowa, Aug. 6.—Two masked i men held up the Chicago, Burlington and Quiney “limited,” north-bound, two miles north of Savannah, IlL., at 11:30 o'clock last night. They cut off the express car, forced the engineer to run up the track and then blew up the car. The robbers had torpedoed the track and when the torpedoes exploded the en- gineer quickly brought the train to a stop. One man boarded the engine and ordered the engineer to run ahead after the other man had uncoupled the express car. Trainmen hurried to Savannah and gave the alarm and a posse of officers and citi- zens, armed with shotguns and revolvers, hastened to the scene. The limited is said to have carried heavy and valuable ex- press. It IS reported that the robbers se- curea about $20,000. Elks Visit Salt Lake.

A Charleston 8ispatch says: “As a means of lessening the amount of shoot- ing in this State the Legislature has en- acted a law which prohibits the manufac- ture or sale of pistol less than twenty inches long, and weighing less than three pounds. The law went into effect this | week, and the surplus stock of small firearms has been withdrawn from sale by the dealers. ““The father of the bill said that it would put a check on the concealed weapon habit and it undoubtedly would, provided no other pistols could be purchased. Lo- cal manufacturers say that a weapon of the required length will weigh more than four pounds. It will be too bulky to car- ry without a heavy leather strap, and will be practically "useless for ordinary purposes. “*When the lawmakers were framing the bill’ said one manufacturer, ‘they evidently overlooked the fact that a wea- pon of this kind could not be fired with- out risk to the man holding it. The re- bound will paralyze a man of average strength, and it has been shown that it would be as harmful to the man firing it was as the man at whom pcinted. ** Marksmanship would not figure, would be out of the question for son to hold the gun in one hand and fire with any hope of hitting a bullseye. A few years ago the State enacted the dis- pensary law, the result of which was the opening of hundreds of blind tigers. Now the indications are that blind tigers will be cpened for the sale of small pistols.’ “Not much faith is put in the new law. The dealers say that it will not operate successfully smoiile SO SR Leibold Harness Co. the barrel Has just received a large assortment of dog collars.

WASHINGTON, Aug. 5.—Acting Secre- tary of State Adee to-day received a ! cablegram from Minister Bowen, dated Caracas, August 5, saying that President Castro left Caracas on the morning of the 3d inst. to fight the heavy forces who were in position near Orituco, fifteen miles Caracas. xr%fiLm‘“ETAD, Curacao; Monday, Aug. 4 —President - Castro of Venezuela left Caracas on Sunday to persomally con- duct the second and what is believed will be the final campaign against the revolu- tionists. He will proceed to Charayave and Cua, little places about a day and a half from the capital. i.e had with him 3100 men and expected to meet en routs 3500 more %l:}l br&ug‘ht back from La Vic- toria and Valencia. The revolutionists, under General Lu- ciano Mendcza, are at San Casimero and those of General Matos are at Auricto. Their junction is expected momentarily. In consequence of the inexplicable delay of the revolutionists in advancing, Presi- dent Castro has had time to organize new armies and to-day he is nearly as strong in numbers as are the revolutionists. He expects reinforcements of 3000 men from the Andes and Trujilo states, commanded by General Bahtisa. The only advantage the revolutionists have at present comes from the fact that they have the better military leaders. WILLEMSTAD, Aug. 5—Four million cartridges and 10,000 Mauser rifles we; received by President Castro last Satur- day. Half of these were deposited in Caracas and the other half were sent to Maracaibo on a schooner. This distribution of munitions of war is taken to be proof that if Castro’'s forces are beaten in the expected engagement with the revolutionists and if the Presi- dent can escape he intends to prolong re- sistance and purposes to transport the headquarters of the Government to Cristobal, in the extreme western part of Venezuela, where he was born. %arcm decision on the part of President s ap- 'astro has created a feeling of depressiom in_commercial and financial circles. The British cruilser Pallas anchored ia La Guaira roadstead to-day. The Grand Chief. Paul H. Schreiber of this city, who at the annual session of the Grand Lodge of the Independent Order of Red Men (Ger- man) was elected its grand chief, is well known in the German colony and is a prominent member of a number of fra- ternal socleties.
