SO well, it would be superfluous to
make special mention. When the

highly delighted with the splendid
manner in which the members OF

this, their first public appearance,
and now that they have given
proof of fine dramatic talent, we
hope it will not be long before
they give another performance,
which will be looked forward to
with delight by all who were for
tunate enough to be present last
Tuesday evening. The caste of
characters was as follows:

b grand ball at the Courthouse. If
we are not mistaken, there has been
no meeting Of the company for the

SILTER'S HEAVY DROP.
Took Another Tumble Yesterday.
Dollar Worth 43 Cents.

New York, Aug. 5.-Silver
bullion experienced to-day the
most violent break Of the entire
seasons decline. In London the
price dropped 1-2 penny per
ounce from Yesterdays price,
selling at 25 3-4 pence per ounce,
against 81 1-2 pence month ago.
The New York price fell to 55 81
cents bid, a break of 1 IA cents
an ounce from yesterday and of
4 1-2 cents within month. At
this price the bullion value of the
silver dollar is a tritlle more than
43 cents. London dispatches as
cribed to-day's weakness in silver
to liquidation by New York hold
ers of the metal. No such decline
as to-day's has been witnessed
since June, 1898. The Indian
mints were closrd to free coinage
on July 26, of that year. On the
next day silver bullion fell in
London from 81 1.2 pence per
ounce to price below 80, but
rallied sharply later.

"PAUPER LABOR IN THE
MINES.
Progress of the Coal Miners,
Strike for Living Wages.

Pittsburg, August 4.-The
miners strike situation has not
changed materially since yester-
days report. About Turtle Creek
camp all was quiet to-day, the
only ripple eff excitement being
the hearing of President Dolan
and the other miners for riot and
unlawful assemblage. The strikers
claim twenty new accessations to
their ranks to-day. A careful es-
innate of the men now at work in
that mine shows 215 out
OF the usual total of 2S5. No
work was done at the Oak Hill or
Sandy Greek mines. The camp
was reduced in numbers today
by three hundred men. They
were sent to their homes for two
reasons-to lessen expenses and
because these men were not in
clined to respond to the numer-
Gus marching orders imposed on
them. The camp has been costing
$500 a day to keep it in provis-
ions, etc, being at the rate of
seven cents per day, as against
nineteen cents per day in the
National Guard encampments.
The camp is now under strict
military discipline, and every
thing is moving like clockwork.
The customary march will be
made to Plum Creek in the early
morning, and will be continued
daily the miners officials say,
until the suspension in the Dear
mits Mines is complete. AT the
hearing in the case of President
Dolan and others for riot and un-
lawful assemblage this afternoon
before Judge Semmes number
OF witnesses testified, but the
Justice reserved his decision until
to morrow afternoon. The hearing
of the four miners arrested last
week at the McGroven Mines.
near Canonsburge, for trespass
was concluded this afternoon. No
evidence connecting the defend
ants with the song, "We'l hang
black sheep 20 a sour-applc tree, "
or with the use OF opprobrious cpl
thets, was produced. None of the
defendants appeared at the hear
ing, and they were held in con
tempt. Attachments were issued
for their arrest.
