REIGN OF TERROR
AT SHENANDOAH.
The Town in the Hands of an Infuri
i ated Mob.
Bj Exclusive Wire fiom The .Ksouatcd Press.
Shenandoah, July 30. A reign of ter
ror, compared with which the scenes
enacted during the riots of 1900 seem
Insignificant, held Shenandoah in Its
grasp tonight. Centre street, which is
one of the principal streets of the town,
was in the hands of an unfurlated mob.
Two of the borough policemen were
shot, ono perhaps fitfully. Joseph Bed
dall, a leading merchant and cousin of
Sheriff Beddall, was brutally clubbed
to death and upwards of a score of
strikers whose names at this writing
could not be ascertained, were shot by
policemen, and It is expected that many
deaths will result. Sheriff Beddall ar
rived from Pottsvllle at 7.45 o'clock
with a posse of deputies. He has taken
up his headquarters at the Ferguson
hotel. To an Associated Press reporter
he admitted that he lias asked Gover
nor Stone to send the militia. The
governor wired that If the cltjzens of
the town petition for troops, 'he will
send them, and a petition Is being cir
culated for the purpose now. It Is al
most certain that the troops will be
here tomorrow.
The trouble started about 6 o'clock
this evening, when Deputy Sheriff
Thomas Beddall attempted to escort
two non-union workers through the
strikers' line of pickets. The workmen
were dressed in their street clothes, but
one of them carried a bundle under his
arm, and this aroused the suspicion of
the strikers. The bundle was torn from
him and when It was found to contain
a blouse and overalls the man was tak
en from tho deputy and beat almost
to death.
In the meantime Beddall opened lire
on the mob, which had gatheird by
this time, and emptied his revolver.
Two of the shots took effect, ono man
being shot in the leg and the other In
the .foot. The deputy and the other
non-union man were now compelled to
lly for their lives and took refuge In
the Philadelphia and Reading railroad
depot. The depot was soon surrounded
by an angry mob of C,000, which was
becoming moro threatening and demon
strative every moment. Joseph Bed
dall, a hardware merchant and brother
of tho deputy sheriff, was seen making
his way through tho crowd In an effort
to reach his brother, and the mob div
ining that he was carrying ammunition
to those Inside the depot, seized him
and beat him with clubs and billies
Into insensibility. He died en route to
tho miners' hospital.
An Escape on an Engine.
Shortly after this, the entire borough
police force arrived on the scene and
escorted tho deputy sheriff and his man
to an engine which had been backpd
Into tho depot for that purpose. When
tho mob realized that their prev was
about to escape, they surrounded tho
engine and the engineer was afraid to
move. In u few moments, however, the
police llred a volley, dispersing the
crowd for a brief period, and tho en
gineer turned on full sterna and got
awuy with his men. Stones were
now thrown thick and fast about tho
heads of the police, whereupon Chief
John Fry gave the order to lire. At the
first volley the mob fell back, and sev
eral were seen to fall. Their retreat,
however, was but momentarily. They
turned, nnd with revolvers, stones, and
even a few shotguns, they charged on
the little band of policemen nnd made
them fly for their lives. The policemen
turned In their (light at short Inter
vals and fired volley after volley at
their merciless pursuers, but tho mob
seemed thoroughly Infuriated and
smoking revolvers seemed to have no
terrors for them. AVhen the Lehigh
railroad crossing was reached, a pass
ing freight train blocked the progress
of the police, two of whom were caught
and brutally beaten. One of them,
Stlney Yacopsky, will die,
It Is estimated that upwards of 1,000
shots were fired, and the wonder Is
that more fatalities did not result.
More than twenty strikers, nil of whom
were foreigners, were shot and at let-tit
two of them will die. Many of the
nwchunts and politicians refused to
sign the call for troops, fearing that
the miners will boycott them ufter the
trouble Is over, and as the governor
had made the sending of troops con
tlguent on tho petition of citizens,
there was some doubt as to whether
they would be sent.
The doctors of the town dressed the
wounds of nearly forty strikers, all of
whom were foreigners whoso names
could not be ascertained. It Is known
at midnight that four out of tho six
policemen were shot. Chief Fry re
ceived a slight wound In the hand;
Yacopsky was shot In the hand and
back and may die; IUnhelser was shot
In tho neck and head, not serious;
Laurltes was shot In pcverat places and
cannot recover.

President Mitchell Refuses to Dis
cuss the Shenandoah Trouble.
Want Engineers to Return.
Dy Exclusive Wire from The Associated Press.
WIlkes-Barro, July 30. President
Mitchell was shown an Associated
Pre.s dispatch from Shenandoah to
night, giving news of a serious riot
theie. Mr. Mitchell said It was too
bad, but In tho absence of full particu
lars from the district officers of the
miners' union, he did not care to ox
press an opinion.
It has been known, however, that
ever since Monday Mr. Mitchell lias
been In communication with the dis
trict leaders of tho miners' union In
the Schuylkill region, and us ho has
always favored peace, It Is presumed
ho warned his subordinates to keep
their followers in control. It was Mr.
Mitchell's Intention. to visit the Schuyl
kill region this week, but press-of busi
ness so far has kept hltn at headquar
ters. All the coal operators here are watch
ing developments tonight. They are
anxious to know If the governor will
send troops to the riot region. At the
office of one of the coal companies,
private information was received to the
effect that the governor would not or
der out the troops unless it majority
of the business men and property
owners of Shenandoah signed a peti
tion saying Hie and property -was not
safe.
It is reported that the Raub Coal
company, at Luzerne borough, has of
fered to take back all Its own engi
neers, pumpmen and firemen and give
them an eight-hour day, if they will
return to work at once. It is said tho
company has had more or less trouble?
In keeping Its mlnefreg .from, ..walcr
with the new men Reemployed when'
the old hands quit work. The applica
tion of the company has been referred
to tho district board of United Mine
Workers. It Is not believed tho old
men will be allowed to return to work.
The ruling of the board In tho past has
been that having refused the demands
of the engineers, firemen and pumpmen
when it was first made, the strikers
cannot return to their old positions un
less all the employes are taken back.

New York, July 30. The funeral of
the late Chief Rabbi Jacob Joseph,
head of the Orthodox Hebrews of the
United States, which was held here to
day, was tho occasion of ono of the
most remarkable demonstrations ever
witnessed In this city and led to a col
lision between the masses of Jewish
mourners and the police. The streets
were packed with thousands of He
brews, the stores were generally closed
and every point of vantage along the
route taken by tho funeral procession to
the different synagogues was crowded.
After tho service at the house tho
body was taken to each of the six
synagogues on the East Side, where
brief services were held.
When the procession was passing the
printing press factory of R. Hoe & Co.,
on Grand street, on its way to the
cemetery In Brooklyn, several employes
of tho factory emptied palls of water
from the windows of an upper floor
onto tho spectators massed upon the
sidewalk. Pall after pall. It was said,
was emptied on the throng, which
shouted and struggled and stampeded
In vain to escttpe. Then overalls and
clothing soaked In water rame down
from above, and even tools, scraps of
steel, bolts and a dead cat.
The angry populace, most of whom
were Hebrews, retaliated by throwing
back Into . the factory' windows the
mlssllesthat fell on thorn. Tnb'y, also
'gathered up stones "ahd'stlcKs, and in a
few minutes there was scarcely a whole
pane of glass on the Grand street side
of tho factory.
Then some In the factory turned on a
hose and played It Indiscriminately all
over the funeral procession. Drivers
of mourning carriages whipped up their
horses, trampling over citizens nnd the
stronger men trampled women and
children under feet in their efforts to
escape.
People Clubbed Bight and Left.
The police had In the meantime tak
en a hand In the trouble, and were
clubbing the people right and left.
They were, however, unable to cope
with the crowd and the reserves of
half 11 dozen precincts were dispatched
to the scene.
It was more than half an hour before
order was restored and the streets In
the vicinity of tho factory cleared. A
number of arrests were made, among
them being several employes of the
Hoe company.
Many persons were found about the
streets, bleeding from wounds on their
heads and other parts of their bodies.
Ambulances had been.summoned In the
meantime, and three responded. The
surgeons were kept busy for some time
dressing the wounds of the injured.
Several policemen were also wounded,
receiving cuts and bruises. Two men
were taken to the hospital. Bad feel
ing la said to exist between some of
the employes of the Hoe company and
tho Hebrews residing In the neighbor
hood ,and this Is said to .have been the
cause of tho trouble.
After the riot had been quelled the
funeral procession proceeded to Brook
lyn, where the body of Rabbi Joseph
was Interred.
Threats of clubbing by the police
finally restored order. Forty thousand
people ere crowded In and about tho
cemetery on Cypress Hill In an attempt
to witness the services at the grave.
