AFTER A MINER.-Last evening as two
men, wearing rusty overalls, big boots and
rough boards, and apparently miners, were
vending their crooked path down X street in
an intoxicated condition, they attracted the
attention of a number of hoodlums and per-
sons of doubtful profession. This, of course,
caused others to watch the proceedings, and
soon there was quite crowd following with
a firm belief that the reputed miners were to
be entrapped. Occasionally the one most in
toxicated fell upon the cobbles, and the jingle
of the coin in his pockets excited the imag.
inatien of his pursuers. At Fourth street
some of those suspected of having dishonest
designs upon his property attempted to get
him into car, but the driver, not liking the
appearance of the crowd, drove rapidly BY
At this juncture some citizens interposed OBJ
jections to the proceedings, and local officer
Eldred arriving, his companion and the more
eager followers took their departure. A
passing hack was hailed for the purpose of
taking the man to the station-house, but af-
ter gazing at the bruised and dusty figure,
the driver declined the load by passing on. A

were emptied and revealed-not a pile of
nuggets-but simply five red bandkerchiefs,

matches. dilapilated Monaghan cigar, a
box of quinipe, and numerous small articles

That CHINESE THEATER Row. TheC Chinese
4" Masons state that on the occasion of the
row at the Chinese theater Saturday night
none of the members of that organization
gave signs or rallied supporters. The state
ment of interpreter Sanders is that the hood
lums were not many in number and their ef-
fort to create trouble was opposed by the
great majority present, and that those who
took a leading part in preserving the peace
did so in their individual capacity only. The
hoodlums, he says, have been run off and
awed, and the lovers of the Chinese drama
will not be interfered with any more. The
account given in the RECORD u MON Of the
recent trouble was correct, but the yellow
Brotherhood of Masons are anxious that they
should be understood as having no part in
the trouble described.
