Prtbbcsg, March 1L—The situation among the striking miners is somewhat confused. Of the railroad mines, nine have conceded and are running at three ctats, while six are still working at the old rate. A summary shows that the striker* have their greatest strength on the Pan Handle and Baltimore and Ohio roads. The* minee which have conceded three cents are only small ones and do an exclusively local trade. These operators Who compete with other districts of Pennsylvania and with Ohio say with ope voice that they cannot afford to pay three cents and will not do so. As regards the river, aocording to the miners' reports, all the first and second pool mines are idle, while there is but one mine in each of the third and fourth pool* now working. The operators say nearly all the second and fourth pools mines arc running. The miners at Weat Elizabeth oil rC mg to work found a large poster fixed outsfle the tipple i bearing the words: "Look ontl All minors blacklegging in these pits bo ware c£ dynamite.'1 This caused great consternation, though the cooler headed men declared it to be only a threat which was not intended to be carried out.

On the road between the north side anC l Ooboea there is a small strip of woodland which is the resort of tramps. Here several robberies have occurred of late, the authorities falling to capture the perpetrator* of the crimes. Women have been waylaid and robbed in broad daylight, and at night it is not safe for any one to walk along the foad without company. It was 3 o'clock when Miss Emerson left school with a number of bar companions, who left her at the crossroads, about a quarter of a mile distant from the place where she was attacked. When slic readied the center of the woods two villaiuous-looking men jumped out from beyond the trees, one of them seizing her about the waist while the other began to strangle her. The tramps then dragged her into the woods. The brave girl fought fiercely to free herself, and at last, after biting one of the rascals' hands, she was able to cry for help. One of the tramps then dealt her a fearful blow on the head with his fist, which knocked her senseless. Thfey then stripped her of her valuables, but before they could do more •one men from the factory in Cohoes, who were passing along the road and heard the girl's cries, rushed into the woods. The tramps saw them, and letting go of their victim rushed off towards Troy before the men reached the spot where the insensible girl was lying. The men picked Miss Emerson up and carried her to a neighboring farm house. A search party was organized, but up |o this time they have been unable to find any trace of tbo tramps. Miss Emerson v. u s taken to her father's house and is quite ill. Her clothes were torn when found, and her face was scratched. There is great excitement over the assault, and if the men are captured the chanoes are that they may be lynched.  A Girl's Plucky right. YESTERDAY'8 PRCCEEEDING8 IN THE DEVOLVE ON AN AMERICAN.

This has had the effect of encouraging those who are in in the belief that President Cleveland intDAda, despite the pressure, to live up to the letter of his official utterances, litis slowness in making changes has not, however, deterred a large number of persons in various parte of the country from either personally or by letter applying for places. The mail received at the several departments is onorraous, and applications for offiae foot up several thousand dally. The departments moat crowded by petitions and in person are the post office, interior iuld treasury. The others are comparatively free from the rush incident to a change at parties or administrations. All applications are carefully indexed and filed away. To do this work th clerks in the post office department have fo. the pest few days been working late into the night. It is thought Mr. Bell, at Missouri, now stands the best chance for appointment as first assistant postmaster general. Dr. Miller, of Orraha, refused the piaoe which Was tendered to him several days ago. While all the cabinet officers are proceeding very slowly, it is thought that most of the resignations of bureau officers which have been tendered will be accepted by the first of next week and the suoces&rs appointed. Then the work of the uaw administration will begin in earnest Sunday.

Munson to enforce the prohibitory law will prove too expensive to the taxpayers of this county. Since January he has taken out 610 warrants, seizures have been made in 487 cases, and in 188 oasis no liquors have been found. Out of the 437 seizures but 30 persons have been brought before the court, and of these 14 only have been convicted. One paid $100 and $6 costs and 18 appealed. This work has cost the county $2,#S9. During this time the liquor deputies made 76 other seizures at a oost to the county of $412. This cost, imposed on the copnty by Mr. Munson, is at the rate of $16,- 000 a year, the entire tax levy of the oounty this year being $80,000. A strong pressure will be brought to bear on Munson to induce him to abandon his present plan, and considerable alarm is expressed at the probable result if be applies the full rigor of law for the suppression of the liquor traffic. His friends say that of the 18 appealed cases all will probably be decided in favor of the county, so that same $1,400 more will be received, which, added to $100 already in, will make $1,600, so that his work has so far only oost about $1,000 in exoees uf the amount received and sure to oomein. Prohibitionists propose to go in and crush ant the liquor traffic at no matter what oost, holding that in the end this will be the cheapest odbrse.
