Nearly Ona Thousand Mlnera Idle and Destitution Prevalent: A despatch Irom Hatletoq, dated 25th ult., says : There doea not yet appear to be any prospept pf a settlement of tba diffieul ties between the striking miners at Jeddo and Highland Collieries and O. B. Markle iV Co., tbe.operato.ra. These two collieries when working eniploy EQ0 men. The mules have all been taken out of the mines, and tbe operators announce their determi callon not (o yield to. tho demands of tbo workmen, aa the difficulty had its origin solely wltb two miners working in a breast, and demanded what is regarded as an ex orbitant price for working the rock. O. B. Markle said Sttur lay tbat the strike would aot affeot the operatora in the least, as tbey will be able to fiH'their quota for the year In three or four months' steady work, and they are not now under any considerable expense. Meanwhile, many ol tbe families of the miners and laborera are In a very' destitute condition, and the fact that tha strikers meot Willi great diffi oulty in finding work at other plaoea puta a much mor terjoqs pbaes upon tbe slua tlon. For a year past many of Ihe expert minera have not been earning on an aver age more than $35 per month, anil out nf this sum Ihey mutt support large families. Few of the laborers hayo been earning mora than ninety rents lay, and haye not worked more than half-time at that. A visit to several of the mining towns where the strike is in progress reveals a most die tressing atate of affairs. Many of the fami lien are crowded inlo small shanties, with three or four sleeping in tbe tame amall appartmenta, oftentimes on tbe bare floor and with little or no covering. Tbey have very little In eat and their principal fare consists of bread on which lard Is spread This condition nf thing exists, not aloae at Jeddo and Highland, but most of the otLer mining villages in tbe region, At Drifton, where the collieries ara oper ated by Coxe Bros. & Co., the situation hst been made even worse by putting In opara tiou lha oath ayatem at the company store and denying men tbe priytlege pf obtaining a dollar's worth of goods on credit. The ultimatum of Coxe Pros. &Co., It that the men must go to them separately and be hired oyer, while the men aay, that hay Ing been discharged in a body, Ibay mult be allowed to return in a body. It ft gen erally supposed tbat the cash system was adopted by tbe operatora aa one means ol compelling the ipen to submit to tbslr terms. ft now looks as though Ihero would be no change In Ihe situation, at least for several montbi, gpd as a result there will be much euflering among the workingmen,wbo have nothing more to depend on for support than their daily labor. Tbe effect nf the Itrike a alto seen In the depraved con alitlon of trade, and thora is a yery gloonry business outloqk for tba summer through out tbe entire region. A Lucky Escape. On laat Wednesday J. W. Baudenbusb, of thia borough, went to Tamaqua to pur chase a number of borsaa and wagons. In coming borne, and when a short distano from tbr Little Schuylkill on tbe Maucb ehupk road leading to the White Bear, tba wind wblob was blowing furiously, naught the wagons and completely upset thero, throwing Jake In under, tbe brakes ol pne of the wagons catching him across tba abdomen. But very fortunately serious catastrophe waa averted by the breaking of tbe traces, and Jake clinging to tbe lines for all be was worth; be managed to exlri eate blmulf from tbe debris with some diKculty. lie waa obliged to walk back to Tamaqua, where be procured attitUnoe to fix up Ihe broken wagons, and tbe tame eeening be waa at borne, and although severely bruised, ba waa about. We con? gratulata Jake on bit lucky escape.
