LEAKED OUT.-A correspondent
of the World, calling himself "A
friend to the Miners lets the cat ont
of the bag in regard to the coal
strike in Pennsylvania last summer.
He says that the strike was all ar
ranged beforehand between the
miners and the coal operators; the
former agreeing to quit work for the
sake of diminishing production, with
an understanding that they'd be bet
ter paid when they went at it again.
The miners kept their part of the
contract. but the capitalists broke
theirs,aiter they had protited BY the
strike in the higher price of coal.
The tinst or show strike lasted for
thirty days; but when the miners
found themselves defeated by the
capitalists, with whom they had com
bincd to cheat the public, they struck
III good earnest, and, Of course, as
the custom is, they injured them
selves by the strike. Now they are
trying to get back to work, but the
capitalists, who can afford to wait,
VIII not employ them at what, uuder
the crcumstances,are very fair rates.
The whole affair shows that there is
not IN the country more grasplng
set of monopoliSts than these same
coal operators OF Pennsylvania,
through whose fault their own work
men are cheated and killed, while
they are forcing up the price of thcil
staple by a conspiracy. Let these
people know that they arc gaining
universal odium by their unscrupu
lous course. They are the rcSpon
sihle persons and must bear til,
blame.

THEATRE.-Those who visited Wash
ington Hall last night despite the threat
ening skies, were well repaid in wit
Messing the drama of Madelaine pre-
sented as well as it was possible for it to
be played. Mrs. Sefton's Madelaine
was powerful portraiture, and in the
scene where she leaves her child at the
Founding Hospital, was perfection.
Mr.. Haviland's DR.. Appiani is also de-
serving of highest COMMUNICATION. Mr.
H. is a good reader, perfect in his enun-
citation and in his costuming, never at a
loss for word of his author, and will
be a faSorite with our play-goers despite
the fact that the parts he plays are
not of the popular kind. We would
suggest to him that the Hall is not,
acoustically, good one, and he must
speak louder for the benefit of those in
the back part of it. We might sugge st
to some of the other performers that
they could be heard better if they were
slower of speech but it is too soon yet
to criticise. The chaps who light the
gas and set the stage will look better if
they remove their hats when they come
before an audience. But maybe this
hat.wearing in the house is the fashion
now. If so, we haven't word to offer.
Tonight we are to have Bourcicaults
glorious drama of London Assurance,
Mrs. Seton as Lady Gay Spanker. She
has one speech we shall watch her in
closely. 1t is a description of fox
chase, and we never hear it well read
but our heart bounds with the excite
ment of the description. Mr.. Seton
will portray the oddities of Lawyer
NEEDLE. 1t is splendid bill, especially
for the ladies.

weary when he got Oh the Island ne
drew up in front of the house Of one OF
the citizens of the Seventh Ward, and
thought he would make lodgment
there; so he commenced kicking and
pounding on the door at great rate
The head of the house, filled with wrath
at being awakened from sound sleep
at such an unseemly hour, procured a
poker and slipped down stairs, deter
mined to have little game with the
midnight disturber. Having full
hand, he had no fears of the result.
Quietly opening the door, he dealt Sui
livan such welt with the poker as kept
him quiet for awhile; he then arrested
him and took him to the lookup. Sui
livan's face was swellsd till it looked
like bushel basket. He was fined $40
and costs.
Margaret Wright is wrong. There is
nothing truer than that when Wright
is wrong nothing can right Wright.
This Wright got tight at night, and
when the light of garrish day gives
place to starlight or gaslight, then, like
the social evil she is, she goes about the
streets ontrary to the ordinance in such
case made and provided. Margaret has
appeared before Judge Good many a
time and oft. She was sent to blossom
in Castle Faris for the thirty days next
ensuing.
John II. Robinson was arrested yes

ting an assault on Elizabeth Sehrader,
