MINERS MEETIYG.-A crier went the
rounds last evening bell in hand, an
nouncing miners meeting at the Court
House. As soon as the pressure of bust
ness wonld admit of our leaving the
Office, we repaired to the Court House,
where We found GOO or 700 people in the
Court Room. A Chairman had already
been chosen, and soon after Secretary
was selected. By considerable effort and
the aid of several courteous gentlemen,
we gained access to the Secretary's table.
just at this juncture the Chairman in
CURED if others than miners were to be
permitted to remain. We then frankly
stated the nature of our mission, and
the motion to exclude all but working
miners was put md carried. We then
withdrew in good order, leaving the re-
port of what was going on to the worthy
Secretary. We fail to see any good rea-
son in excluding from public meeting
representative of the press, and our
failure to give full account of the pro-
ceedings may be attributed to that cause.
We heard enough, however, to satisfy us
that the feeling was unanimously for the
eight hour rule.
MINERS STRIKn.-Yesterday about one
hundred men, engaged in the Lightner
shaft of the Raymond & Ely mine,
struck. The cause of the strike was the
determination Of the company to substi-
tute ten-hour shifts for the eight hour
arrangement formerly in vogue. At 7
o'clock yesterday morning the men went
down into the shaft, and at 3 o clock de-
manded to be brought up. They refused
to work the ten hours, and the other
shift refused to go to work. This brought
about direct issue between the company
and the workmen. The company, We
understand, are determined to hold out,
and the miners seom equally determined
to demand the eight hour rule. Some
little feeling was exhibited, as might well
be imagined, but no violence was mani
tested. The miners talk of organizing
union similar to that existing in Vir-
ginia and Gold Hill. A meeting was
called last evening to take action by the
miners to secure their rights.
THEATRE.-Owing to the heavy rain
fall last night, at the hour the theater
should have opened, there was no per-
Torrance. Tonight we expect to see
another crowded house to witness the
performance of the Bells or the Pol
ish jew. The piece will run more
smoothly than its first representation, as
the company will be more familiar with
the situations and plot. tits very fine
drama, and caused great sensation in
New York when first produced. Mr..
Mcguire, in the Dream Scene of the last
act was excellent, especially in his pam
tomime, describing the murder, which
was rendered with good effect. Tonight
the play will be produced for the lsst
time, as it must be withdrawn to make
way for other novelties.

MoRGUE.-This place is sadly in nee,
Of dead house, where proper care cal
be taken of the remains of the dead pend
ing the necessary funeral arrangements
At present it is often difficult to find
suitable place in which to put bod
until proper arrangements are made 70
its interment. In cases where inquisi
ton by the Coroner is necessary Their
is no house where the body may b
brought and properly cared for. A dea,
house is required in Phoebe and we hop
the new County Commissioners wi!
make provision for the construction O
one as soon as possible.
The WEATHER continues cloudy am
disagreeable. Since the recent rains til
temperature has moderated very consid
erably. The streets are shockingly mud
dy, and pedestrians find it impossible t
get along with comfort. Boot blacks ar

that more rain wi Il fall soon.
