Sheriff Toole and Deputies O'Donnell and Brenenman were called to Shenan doah today to supress mobs that threat ened the mlneworkers and collier prop erty. At quitting time three deputy sheriffs and a small poase whom the sheriff had summoned on the ground went to Indian Ridge colliery, of the Heading Company, to escort the work lngmen to their homes. The workmen left for home shortly arter 4 o'clock. They walked up the middle of East Center street and reach ed the Lehigh Valley railroad station. Here was gathered a large crowd of Poles.

Sept. 21.-An ab solute denial was made today by Gen eral Henderson that the Philadelphia & Reading Coal & Iron Company had increased its wages to the mine em ployes ten ner cent. This report, said he. was evidently due to the company increasing Its working hours from T 1-3 per cent to 9. "Thlh means." said Mr. Henderson, "that the men are making really about 20 per cent more money, but the rate of wages remains the same." General Superintendent Luther, of Pottsvllle. today telegraphed Presidf nt I ...due., ,i in- t iMHturipiim oc iieaawg coai a: iron company, that nve more collieries' of th company were affected by the strike this morning. From fOOO to lO.OfH, men Joined the strike this morning ns the result of a meeting held last night r Shenandoah. Twenty-nine collieries of the Reading Company are still working. The collieries closed to day are bunched In the Mahanoy val ley and are located In and about Shen andoah. Mahanoy City, Mahanoy Plains nni m. isichoiaa. all mining towns In Schuylkill county. MINERS' WAGES RAISED. NEW YORK. Sept. 21. The Tribune prints the following: The Philadelphia & Reading Coal Company yesterday decided to take a step that probably will do a great deal to bring, the coal strike to a speedy termination. That was the determina tion of the company to raise the wages of its employees ten per cent. It Is understood from advices received from Philadelphia last night that the advance will begin Immediately, from this morning in fact. The eftect of it upon the strike situation will be far reaching and, according to operators who were seen !ast night. It will tend to undermine the strength of the whole strike movsment. Since 1S96 the output of these mines has been restricted because of an agree ment entered into by the operators whereby the output of anthracite was divided after the manner that railroad people do traffic, including the follow ing percentages: Philadelphia & Read ng. 20.50: Le high Valley, 15 65; Delaware, Lackaw anna & estern, 13.So; Central rail road of New Jersey, 11.70; Pennsylva nia, 15.4; Delaware & Hudson, 5.60 and i 17.0 dlvldf-d among smaller produc ers. , . , It will b seen by these figures that the Philadelphia He Reeling obtained by far the greatest proportion of the output and, with the removal of the restriction which was Imposed by the agreement In question. It was admit ted by dealer in this city that tho Reading Company could easily supply at leust M per cent of the coa; for necessary requirements for this and other cities. It I said by those conversant with the exciting situation that the Reading Company will not hesitate to break the agreement. In point of fact the opin ion Is expressed that operator whose mines are closed down are willing that ihe arrangement for the time be ing should be set aside and are even parties to the policy of wage Increase which haa been decided on. The motlva which Incites this atti tude, according to report, la that the operator who are mostly Involved In the strike are Imbued with th idea that the Reading's output, supplement ed as It will be by large quantities of coal from other mine not yet shut down, will serve to avert any really maraeu coal ramine and that thersby the Knowledge will be Impressed upin the strikers that the anticipated scar city of fuel and consequent public suf fering will fall of realization. In making the ten per cent advance In wages, the officials of the Reading i-oinpany do not take the ground that It Is. a submission to the demands of the workers. The employe? of thi company arc paid on what is kn-vn a the sliding sale. or. in other words. If the selling price of coal advance the earnings of the miners are advanced accordingly. APPEAL FOR INTERCESSION. CHICAGO. Sept. 21. Appeals for In terceslon In the great anthracite coal miners strike in the hope of securing an amirawe adjustment of the tr;u- nie win pe snt Governor Stone, of Pennsylvania, by nearly every one of me nve hundred ministers of Chicago. Acuon looatng toward th s end was taken at a conference of Oak Park ministers and nlready many ministers have signified their intention of taking sucn action. A printed call was also sent to the Chicago ministers asking them to make the strike a subject of resolutions to be presented to their congregations for adoption Sunday. FIRST TRAIN .

The conditions at Galveston continue to rapidly Improve. Every one la so busy that there U little time to mourn over their losses. Thia Is doubtless fortunate for the sufferers, for Instead of spending their time In grieving they forget their trouble and lend a helping hand to ward the betterment of existing con ditions. The number of patients In the various " hospitals Is much smaller than would have been expected considering: the number of dead. This Is due to the fact ' that few who were entirely helpless . succeeded In escaping alive. Ther are several hundred persona who were more or less bruised, but their wounds are rapidly healing. The general health of the city, accord ing to Dr. Wilkinson, Is better than under normal conditions. The number of people leaving the city Is decreasing and there is no longer any necessity for sick and injured to go elsewhere for medical attention. Commander Selfrldge. lighthouse In spector, is In Galveston. He gave offi cial notice that all buoys at' the en trance of Galveston harbor are In po sition. , FAMILY REUNITED. NEW YORK.
