Gorton's Minstrels, under the man
agement of 0 H Larkln, was the at
traction at the theatre last evening,
and to say that It 1 one of the best
eompaoies that has appeared here Is
but voicing the op nion of all who
attended. At noon yesterday their
excellant band gave an open air eont
eert which was listened to by a large
audience. The singing by the Ores
cent City Qaartet was a feature of
the evening's performance. Griffin
and Marks, the funny fat men, were
received with rounds of applause, as
was Frank Clayton, the eooentrlo
musical singing and talking eome
dian. The work of De Witt Cooke
with Indian clubs was marvelous. In
fact the entire performance was above
that of the average miostrl show, as
was shown by the repeated encores
which followed every part of the entertainment.
COWHIDES HER HUSBAND.
A slim creature weilding a stout
cowhiie on the hed and face of a
stylishly dressed young man attracted
attention at Broadway and West
streets night before last in Patterson,
N J The woman was attired iu a
dark suit of n en's clothing and wore
the latest style of derby hat, under
which was tucked her loDg dark
hair.
'Yoa will go with other women,
wil yon?'1 she fairly screamed as she
brought' down the cowhide on the as
tonished young man's nose and broke
it.
The young man was Mike Merino
and the assailent his wife. She had
heard that he was In the habit of
bestowing his attention on other
women, and made up her mind to
chastise him. Fearing her identity
might be revealed, she chose men's
attire and watched. He was holding
an apparently pleasing conversation
with a young woman in a huge hat
when Mrs Merino appeared
The iojuied husband' was assisted
to the office of Dr Townsend and his
wife arrested.
Local reporters on newspapers, in
their daily rounds, frequently wit
ness scenes of pathetic interest of
which the public know little or noth
ing. Here is oue such caused by
poverty, that happened in Washing
ton a few dayTago, which is described
by a reporter of the News of that
city:
A mother, tired and worn, with a
face on which misery was so plainly
graveD that it would have touched a
heart of stone, was arraigned at the
bar of the Police Court this morning.
In her arms was a baby and near
her an older child, both with unus
ually beautifal faces. Lillie was the
atter's name.
Agent Lewis had the children in
court, and it transpired that the
mother was too poor to keep them.
"I can earn something, Jude,"
pleaded the poor mother. "My chil
dren show that they do not suffer for
anything I may, but they do not.'
Judge Miller looked at the fxded
straw hat and shook his head sadly
I am afraid your burden is too
heayy, my good woman."
"No, sir; I can take care of them,
if you will only let me keep them."
Slowly and dawned upon liule LIU
lie that they were going to separate
her from her mother. Tears began to
flow down her face, and the little sis
ter's trouble, tightened her arms
around her mother's neck.
"You will have to give your chil
dren up," ordered the Court "Very
evidently they are not having the
proper care. You have to work out,
and the children are liable to hurt
themselves alone. They will be
well taken care of and when you get
able to take care of them you can
have them back."
A little wail went out from the
baby, the mother went one way and
the children another and the Court
proceeded to grind oat its justice.
Seven employes of the Lehigh Val
ley Railroad Co, have been arrested
at White Haven, charged with hav
ing been the cause of the , wreck at
that' place during the strike, which
cost the company $170,000. Five of
