('r.l ffllner Further Trouble Ahead The

Irclalatara Tha (Jamplete Taaaaca far the
Week, Kie.
At a meeting of representatives from the an
thracite and bituminous coal fields of Pennsyl
vania, which commenced yesterday at Johns
town, a nnion of the trade associations of the two
regions was effected. This end has been looked
forward to for some time by the anthracite
miners, but what the meaning; of it Is remains
to be seen. If it be only aa enlargement of the
jurisdiction of the W. B. A., the bituminous
miners uniting In fellowship under condi
tions, the public can afford to let the action po
nnrebuked for the present, awaiting the
time when trouble is occasioned by the coalition
to raise a cry against it. But if the union has
been formed w ith the understanding that the
Immense bituminous coal fields are to be gov
erned by the same corrupt form of government
and under the same conditions as the anthracite,
then it is now time to expose the move, and in
every possible way hold up the members of both
Associations to the strongest condemnation of
the people From the rumors at present in cir
culation, the latter appears to be the end in
view, and It Is reported that the bitumi
nous miners are soon to unite in
a general strike for the purpose of
producing a complete famine f all kinds of
fuel. While this is not so frightful as it seems,
because we cannot believe that any considerable
number of the innumerable Western miners will
be such fools as to cut off their own heads for
the benefit of their far-distant and unknown
Eastern brethren, for which act of self-sacrifice
they would not receive the slightest return in
any way, yet the bre possibility ot such a thing
demands the most earnest and decisive action.
A mere peaceable combination of all miners
for their own mutual interests can be
borne, but when it comes to an immense
union for the express sinister purpose of de
priving the consumer entirely of a necessary of
fife as important as daily bread, or at the best,
the doling out of the commodity in quautities
and at prices most agreeable to those in the
union, it should not be submitted to tamely.
The anthracite union is bad enough, bo bad, in
fact, that its utter ruin would be the best thing
that could happen, both to its members and to
all who have ever had anything to do with it.
But the formation of a more extended absolute
monarchy, under our very eyes, and under the
protection of a republican government, should
be opposed at every point and in every possible
way, by every man who has the best interests of
the country at heart. If we let these things go
on, the final act will be not only bloodshed, but
bloody war itself, for questions concerning the
necessaries of life affect every one, and when
brought to an issue, those wronged will bear no
trifling.
The bituminous trade Is largely Increasing by
reason of the strike, and the leaders see that
they can do nothing unless this also is stopped.
In the event ot their move being unsuccessful,
the only effect of the lengthened suspension will
be a great reduction in the demand and the an
nihilation of the natural rate of increase in the
production for some time to come.
Many iron furnaces and manufactories are
being altered so as to burn bituminous, though
the anthracite is preferred, and this change once
made will not be altered again in a hurry. Many
other consumers, also, who can use either anthra
cite or bituminous, declare their intention of
using only the less desirable of the two fuels until
there Is some assurance that the anthracite trade
Is on a much surer basis. The Pennsylvania
Koad is now bringing large quantities of bitu
minous direct from the Western fields, and semi
bituminous from Baltimore and Western Mary
land is coming in fast by all the routes.
The Senate Committee of the State Legislature
on the coal troubles is busy taking testimony in
the matter. It in, however, only a prolonga
tion of the trouble to submit it to such arbiters
as these. They will not make a report for some
time, and when they do, a bill, if any is prepared,
will be delayed before being presented. Then
It will be considered in the House, where it will
probably be passed as a sort of sop to Cerberus,
but when it comes to the Senate it will be surely
killed and the miners will have all their trouble
for nothing.
The principal railroad companies cannot be
touched, at all events, because they have not
transgressed their charters, and if they had they
are by far the most powerful with legislature,
men. As it is, they have fully as many of their
agents in Harrisburg now as have the miners,
eo as to save unnecessary trouble. Both parties
during the week have been busily besieging the
members of the committee. Arbitration between
the parties concerned themselves, without refer
ence to any legal or judicial body, which is the
shortest mode of settlement, hangs fire as yet
from want of action by the miners.

the trade for the past week as reported for the

The Journal remarks:
"There are still at least 16,000 tons on band at Tort
Kicnmonu, ana on an me cargoes snipped to New
York to lane advantage or tne prices ruling there.
the shippers, with only a single exception or so. have
experienced heavy losses. From the highest point
coal has (alien four dollars a ton, so we were
lniormea dj a oeaier yesterday, and all
are anxious to sell. Bituminous coal Is
also arriving in largely increased Quantities
from Baltimore, where the supply was nearly doubled
overmaior last year, wiinin a coupie or weeks.
The Chesapeake and Ohio Canal Is also navlarable.
and upwards of 40 cargoes have been shipped and
vessels despatched to Alexandria to carry It to New
York on its arrival.
Large contracts are being made for bituminous
coal at low rates by manufacturers and steam
lines for the season. In boston they have ample
coai to last until May, and If the trade Is not more
brisk than it Is now, some of the dealers will have
stocks to last until July. Throughout all the New
England towns the supply of coal seems to be ample,
as ail are practising strict economy and diminishing
the number of lirea."
'For every week the resumption of the anthra
cite trade is delayed will the price of coal recede
from 6 to 10 cents a ton. This will arise from the
lessened consumption caused by the high prices pre
vailing in the markets for anthracite ; from the eco
nomy practised in Its use: and also from the
stoppage of those works which use onlv anthmpir
and which, In the present state of trade, prefer stop,
ping to going on and paying these high prices.
Another reason is the Increased consumption of bl
tumlilbus coal, caused entirely by the uncertainty
of procuring a regular supply of anthracite at fair
prices, while contracts can be made for bituminous

A "SLTEV TROUBLES.
One ef the Remnn Noldtern ef (be 8tne la
tlnrmare Vile.
The ambitions young men who play the highly
tragic role of "supe in our theatres, upon
whom is foisted all the drudgery of the stage,
who occasionally with ill-fitting clothes that
make their proverbial awkwardness all the
more conspicuous, serve their mimic lords with
diluted wines; or, armed cap-a-pie, with trem
bling limbs march in and out before the wonder
stricken audience, land eventually are stabbed
under the armpits and die temporarily, have the
misfortune of being the worst paid and hardest
worked people who serve, in their way, to en
tertain the public.
Such an one was Charles Howard, eighteen
years of age, who was employed as a supernu
merary at the Arch Street Theatre. As his
salary at this business was not sufficient to meet
his wants, he became, on the 4th of February
last, an errand boy in Adams' Express Com
pany's office, No. 322 Chesnut street." But even
with this addition to his weekly stipend, disap
pointed in not having enough, he resorted to
pilfering. On the Uth of February he stole a
gold watch valued at $100, which he carried to
a pawnbroker's, presenting at the same time to
the inquisitive Abraham this fictitious note:
"This is to authorize the bearer to raise some
money on this watch about 830. I am sick, and in
want of funds. 1 would be able to redeem It In
May. H. J. o. Nkwmcixer,
"No. 723 South .Tenth street."
This satisfied Abraham, and he handed over
$25. Last night ex-Detective Levy, who had
been engaged by the company, arrested Howard
at the Arch Street Theatre. He was taken to
Alderman Smith's, and having confessed to the
theft and .the writing of the note, was held in
$1200 to answer

A Struggle with a Ruffian and a Ruf
fian's Family. Some three weeks ago, a noto
rious rough named George Young beat a drover
at the West Philadelphia Drove Yard. A war
rant for his arrest was issued, but so adroit was
Young that he persistently eluded capture.
Yesterday afternoon, Lieutenant Smith, of the
Sixteenth district, had good reason to believe
that Young was in the house of his mother, oa
Fortv-flrst street, near the Pennsvlvanla Rail
road, and he despatched Officers Hoopes, Coch
rane, and Mcf ariana to make tne arrest, umcer
Hoopes demanded admittance to tne House,
which was complied with by Young's mother.
The other two policemen remained outside. As
scon as Hoopes had entered the house the doors
were locked, and Young and a brother, assisted
by the mother, made an assault on him with
clubs, etc. A tussle ensued, and the officer,
being a powerful man, succeeded in keeping his
assailants at Day. r many, ne drew nis revolver,
and frightened off the mother and brother, and
then had a desperate struggle with Young. The
two officers outside hearing the noise, broke in
the doors, and rendered assistance in securing
the ruffian, who fought like a tiger all the way
to tne station House, lie bad eventually to ne
tied with a rope. Alderman Randall sent him to
prison in default of bail. It is said that he is a
terror to the neighborhood, and the people
would not grieve much if he never comes back

The Agent in America for the Milton Gold Jew

THE POPULAR
ONE DOLLAR PLAN
for the sale of these Goods, in order to bring them
at once within the reach of all classes.
The Milton Gold Jewelry within the last year has
had an immense sale in England and France, and Is
worn by the aristocracy and nobility of Europe, and
Is last taking the place of Gold Jewelry that has
heretofore been wcrn.
The goods are of the most elegant patterns, and
of the very latest styles. Some of them are beauti
fully chased, engraved, enamelled, etc
The assortment comprises all articles of Jewelry
Bracelets, Sets, Ladies' aud Gents' Pins, Ring,
Seals, Lockets, Pencils, Sleeve Buttons, Shirt Studs,
Chains, etc.
THE MILTON GOLD JEWELRY
was sold for four years in London by many of the
leading jewellers of that city for pure gold before the
secret was discovered. These goods so closely re
semble the genuine that the English Government
enacted a law making It a cruulnal oilense to sell
this Jewelry unless it was marked on the cards or
tags "Milton Gold," so that purchasers could not
be deceived In reference to what they were buy
ing. There is now a large amount of spurious English
coin In circulation, made of the Milton Gold. The
only means by which It can be detected is by weight,
so it can be seen frem this fact that the article must
be an exact Imitation.
We request our American friends to come and ex
amine our goods. We feel satmlied that they will
give the same satisfaction In the United States that
they have given in England and France.
