How Miners Are Robbed.

In discussing the treatment received
by the miners from the operat 'rs in
the coal regions, where pluck-me
stores, dcckage. etc, are common
things. Henry ID. Lloyd related tho
following: The most glazing and ont
rageous, the most utterly damnable
case of systematic oppre' sion ever
known was at Spring Valley. ILL.,. about
ten wears ago. w. L. ScOtt-happily
he is dead organized the company and
built the town. Miners were lured
there by good wages and bought
homes. When the men had their
homes half paid for 80 per cent. were
locked out. When their mortgages
had been duly forec.osed the other
half were locked out and their homes
went to the spoilers. There was no
violence. NJ up, oar. no militia. The
miners seemed to think it was all right.
There was singular thing happened
at Spring VALLEY. The last lockout
left but few men at work. They held q
meeting ana decided to work only half
time - they were earning but SIG per
month-and let the men with families
stand off starvation q while longer by
working the other ha'f. This would
not do for the proprietors. When the y
knew it they shut d wn work and
EVERYONE starved at his leisure"

Curious comments by judge, even
in the presence of the prisoner,
though extremely rare, are not un-
precedented. Mr.. Justice Maule
once addressed phenomenon of in
nocence in smock frock in the fol-
lowing words: &C Prisoner at the bar,
your counsel thinks you innocent; the
counsel for the prosecution thinks
you innocent; I think you innocent.
But jury of your own countrymen,
in the exercise of such common sense
as they possess, which does not seem
to be much, have found you guilty,
and it remains that I shall pass upon
you the sentence of the law. That
sentence is that you be kept in inn
prisonment for one day, and as that
day was yesterday you may now go
about your business"
The unfortunate rustic, rather
scared, went about his business, but
thought law was an uncommonly puz-
zling business. = London Tit-Bits.

The contest over the 100000 es-
tate of P. N. Mackay, the mining man,
is still in progress before Judge Cofey.
Hattie Schenck, the black widow, has
introduced considerable evidence tend
ing to show that she was the lawful
wife of the deceased, and that she
lived with the deceased for years, and
that they were a very affectionate
couple.
Duncan Mackay, the brother of the
deceased, who Indignantly disputes
the claim of the black lady, was ex-
amined as witness, and was asked
by attorney Charles Heggerty if he
had not lived with Eva Greenhood, a
colored woman in Virginia City. He
admitted that he was acquainted with
her while she was in a disreputable
house, but denied that she was his
consort. Further hearing was post
poned until this afternoon. f.

the following:
Duncan Mackay was Superintend-

fashionable to have DIR. Bronson call

Duncan Mackay, in order to be
considered in the swim, concluded
that he would have DR.. Bronson make
