A suadEsrIos.-We desire to make a
simple suggestion to the gentlemen who
are experimenting the work Of complete
ing the new Washington Hall. In brief
II Is to this effect: The gallery is reach
ed by stairs which ascend from either side
Of the vestibule, so near the entrance 10
the hall that when the doors Of the hall
are thrown open they shut out all egress
from the gallery. Now, acity ordinance,
II we mistake not, requires that the doors
Of all public halls open outwardly: So
that, in case Of FIRE, or a panic among the
audience, should the doors Of the hall be
opened wide those in the gallery would
be unable to make their escape from the
building. Our suggestion is that a recess
be made at the entrance 10 the hall, and
the doors be set back far enough TO swing
free OF the gallery stairs.

GOODS REcovEREp.-Some time since
the goods and chattels Of Phil. Medert,
proprietor Of the Columbia House, were
taken under an execution held BY Mr..
Jacob Lash, and ordered to be sold at
public sale. A private Waterman was
employed by Mr.. Lash TO look after the
property, but Notwithstanding this pre-
caution, when the time came for the goods
to be sold the discovery was made that Q
large portion Of the stock Of liquors had
been surreptiously removed. A diligent
search was made for the missing goods,
and they were found q few days ago in
the house OF a Mr.. Levi, a huckster, near
West Alexander, whittier they had been
taken by Medert. We understand that
the goods will be sold by Mr.. Lash.

CAUGHT IN THE Acr.-on returning
home from church on Saturday evening
last, Rev. Rippey, Of the Wesley N. E
Church, discovered a boy named Nolte
trying his prentice hands on doors and
windows, in an attempt 10 get inside Of
the house and rob the pastor. Mr.. Rip.
pey had suspected the lad for some days
Of burglarions intentions, having noticed
him about the premises several times
under suspicious circumstances, and was
therefore not greatly surprised upon dis
covering him at work. Nolte was taken
into custody, but was subsequently, dis
charged with a severe reprimand.

MEETING OF MMERa.-Pursuant to I'D.

MEETING OF MMERs.-Pursuant TO nd.
journment the striking miners held
another meeting at the Atlantic Engine
House last evening. Mr.. E. j. Criswell
was chosen chairman, alter which reports
we're made as to the amount OF collections
made at the different banks for the sup.
port OF those miners who are out OF EN-
ployment in consequence Of the strike.
From these reports II appears that only
one bank contributed any money, viz
Kasley, Brooks & Cos. The men at this
bank rsised Sc. There were no reports
from any,of the other banks except Tall.
mans, and at this bank the men were all
out and unable TO contribute.
Tallman's men, II seems, struck recent
" against u reduction In their wages
which had been made after an agreement
had been effected as to the price at which
they were to work during the strike.
One OF Tallman's miners present at the
meeting said that Tallman called OF one
OF the men working at his bank at Slack.
town, and asked him TO 60 to work at 80
cents per wagon. This the miner declin.
ed to do, when Tallman told him to take
his tools out Of the bank and leave his
house. Subsequently, however, Tallman
told the miner that he would pay him 40
cents per wagon II he would 60 back to
