ing received the money deposited by mem

paid. As accused departed from the court

others.

THE SITUATION AT THE COAL MINES
The situation in the anthracite coal regions
remains unchanged from what il was last

coal production in the striking" regions

week ago, the future in this regard seems
just as uncertain and resumption as far re-
moyeu as IL then was. The latest news gives
no promise Of q settlement of existing differ
ences between the miners and the operators,
aud little or no mining, or, indeed; labor OF
any kind, is being done at the mnes N Tue

Mr.. Beecher or Mr.. Bowen choose TO rest I'M

The Matrimonial Troubles OF Mrs,
James A. Oates.

DISSOLUTION OF PARTNERSHIP AND
DIVISION OF THE TROUPE.
The San Francisco papers give the follow
ing particulars of the reported matrimonial
troubles between Mrs. James a Oates and
her second husband, Tracy Titus:
lit appears that the troupe is always ac-
cOmpanled by two ladies, of whom, of course,
sallantry forbids any but favorable mention.
one OF these was Mrs. Oates sister, Miss
Pauline Merritt, and the other, alas. their
mother, Mrs. Merritt. These two ladies'
boarded elsewhere, and Titus Tracy and his
wife at the Occident. For week or two
everything went smoothly; but on one un-
lucky occasion quarrel arose regarding
some lady, the trouble originating, it is as
sumed by the cross examination of Tracy,
by his mOther-in-law. Tracy's memory was
defective. He denied great deal, and failed
to recollect great deal more.
MRS. OATES PUT HER HUSBAND OUT
mamma. For day or two Tracy waited for
the storm to blow over, but with the peril
nacfty of our more eastern climate, the wind
continued to blow from q stormy quarter.
Alison, the treasurer, had brought him
nightly the balance from the theater, bat the
fourth night after the quarrel Alison failed
TO appear. Mrs. Oates had consulted a law
some $1,000 since then, TO her own use Her
lawyers impressed upon her the belief that
TRACY WAS HER DEPENDENT,
ana tnat the success of the company was due
entirely TO her eXertionS. She too willingly
ignored his efforts, and acted accordingly.
The company divided John Howson, Drew.
Jones, Williams, and some OF the chorus.
Joined Mrs. Oates; Woodfield, Allen, his
wife. Miss Larilelle, and most of the chorus.
remained with Tracy Titus. There are now
two rival organizations, with the prospect of
divorce"

regarding the loss the steamer st. Luke on

STAR, have been learned from passengers
who came down from st. Charles to st.
Louis by railroad. The night was very dark
and the lights on the bridge were very dim.
About thirty feet of the larboard side of the
boat was crushed in by the collision with the
per, and part of her machinery was torn
away. She made water very rapidly, but
heated down about two miles, when she
struck a bar in the middle of the river and
sunk TO her hurricane deck. The passengers
rushed from their berths in great terror and
ran hither and thither, panic-stricken. But
all those who were not lost in the collision
were finally gathered on the hurricane roof
where they remained till daylight. clad only
in their night clothes, when a ferry boat
came down and took them ashore. Nine per-
sons are known to have been lost.
