The Miners Troublss-An Order That Has
Raised N Stir.
PITTsBURG, March 19.-The affairs among
the miners in the third pool have taken a new
turn. The miners employed at the Cliff mine
have always worked at reduction, but not
withstanding the fact the company has drawn
up an article and presented it to the miners
for signature in which they are required to
waive all laws and statutes in regard to
miners and the right to a checkweigh man
if they wish to continue at work
for the company. This was unlocked
for and the miners refused to sign the arti-
Gle. The men were threatened with eviction
upon their refusal to sign and at Cowbluff
one family has already been evieted. To-
day several of the miners are in the city to
consult the miners attorney. Their action
is not yet disclosed. President Costello
visited the mine to-day and is looking into
the trouble. No cause can be assigned for
this action on the part of the company.

postmaster, came to this city from Newport
and went to clerking in the postofice, being
the only assistant the postmaster was allow

rolls of the Office for day since. When he
began work the mails were carried to Boston

took four days during the seasons when
navigation was closed It cost 10 IA cents
to send q letter from New York to this city
in those days and the daily mail from that
city averaged forty letters where now 1900
are received. In the last winter of Fillmore's
administration Mr.. CoggeshsH vas made
postmaster, but the Democrats drove him
out very soon after Franklin Pierce took his
seat and he became assistant. In 1876 Gem
eral Grant reappointed him postmaster.

WASHINGTON, March 19.-George D. Rob
erts, representing the Boston Telegraph and
Gable company, was heard to-day by the
subcommittee of the Senate Committee on
Postoffces and Post Roads in charge of the
various bills proposing the adoption of a
system of postal telegraphy. Mr.. Roberts
submitted form of contract accompanied by
the draft of a bill looking to the handling of
government business by the company he rep
resented. He explained what he considered
the advantages of the system adopted by the
postal company and contrasted its limit of
circuit with that of the Western Union com
pany. From tests already made he was pre-
pared to say that the limit of the Postal
company's circuits was not less than fifteen
thousand miles, which, according to DR..
Green's testimony, was one thousand miles
greater than that of the Western Union cir
cults. Mr.. Roberts briefly advocated the
adoption of the proposition advanced by his
company and said that the only concession
asked from the government was the privilege
Of establishing Offices in postofice buildings.
