GEKESAL GOSSIP OP A LITELI DAI President Young, of the Lawrence Bank, B im viritpr! Inst (-renin? bv a renorter for The Dispatch, and he said: "I have no more to do with the bank than your hat This afternoon I signed the pa- i ' pen for Mr. McKelvey, who is tne Presi dent of the Third National, of Allecheny. It seems that Mr. McKelvey is not well known, bnt he is a thoroughly reliable man, -and everybody who knows him has conn ed dence in him. This afternoon when I eame out of Mr. McCook's office, In theDiamond, I met two members of the kicking commit tee, appointed last night, who were very IBs anxious to know who ilr. JJlcli-eivey was, and whether it were true that he is a stock holder." "Is Mr. McKelrev, the assignee, a stock holder of the bank?" was the direct ques tion put. "He is. He was, in fact, a stockholder before I went into the institntion. He has been a stockholder ever since. For 15 years Mr. McKelvey has been a stockholder." HE IS IfOT ET THE FIBM. Confronted with the statement published in an evening paper that he was "a member of the firm ot Long & Co.," Mr. Toung re plied most emphatically and strongly: "I am not now, and never have been, a member of the firm of Long & Co. I most positively deny ever having been either an active or a silent partner of this firm. As to the bank's affairs, viewed from any other' standpoint than the false one jnst alluded to, they are now altogether out of my con trol, everything being in the hands of the assignee, Mr. McKelvey." Concerning the report that there were close ties of consanguinity between the family of President Tonng and the firm of Long & Co., it may be stated that the elder Mr. Long is related by marriage to Mrs. Young, and that Mr. Browne, of Long & Co., is a nephew of the same lady. MR. HOEKE TALKS AT LENGTH. Cashier John Hoerr was interviewed last evening by a Dispatch reporter. During the conversation Mr. Hoerr evidently felt his position. He was nervous, and his voice was tremulous with emotion. He said : My instructions from Assignee McKelvev were to be strictly reticent about the affairs at the bank. He cave me definite instructions not to reveal anyiuine about the standing of the bank or what the officials propose doing with the liabilities or assets. These instructions 1 will be forced to obey. Sir. Hoerr, on being pressed to give some idea how the assets stood, said: Mr. McKelvey and myself went over the various assets to-dav, and as far as we can at present discern the depositors will be paid their money in full. However, this statement is cot authoritative, for before we can give an ac curate statement we will have to jro very care fully over the boots, and sec how tho liabilities nndtbe assets tally. The present indications are good. I cannot see. if we are allowed time, why any depositor will lose a fraction on their deposits. We will come oat all richt, but about the future of the bank I cannot say, nor can anyone else. AH we want to do now is to wind up the aQairs as satisfactorily and as quickly as we can. Mr. Hoerr was asked to state the amount of the liabilities; he could not be persuaded to divulge the amount, and again referred the reporter for farther information to the assignee. A BIG DEPOSITOR SEEENE. Mr. John Matthews, a depositor in the Lawrence Bank to the tune of $51,900, was seen last night He said: The depositors' meeting at the Fifteenth "Ward Sclioolnouse was cot a representative meeting of depositors, nor were the objects of the committee that which will ultimately do the creditors the most good. A few politicians want to raise a ferment over the failnre. and they will exert their best endeavors to clog the winding up of affairs for the best interests of depositors. Being one of the heaviest de positors of the bank, the appointment of Mr. McKelvey as assignee suits me. He is a man of Irreproachable character, who has never had his integrity Impeached or called into question. I believe the liabilities of the bank run be tween $500,000 and $600,000, and I know myself that the bank has property which will more 1 ban cover it If the bank pays 75 cents on the dollar that will satisfy me: yet I feel assured of being paid dollar for dollar, and I don't intend to bowl over tbe pile that I deposited there. I do cot propose to contribute II to the expenses of the Depositors' Committee. HE CAME TO THE EESCUE. "You stated at the depositors' meeting that you put in $51,900 at the eleventh hour. How did you mean that 7" "I put it in to help the bank out, as I had faith in it Under tbe same conditions I would do tbe same thing again. Were you asked to put that money in by any of the bank officials T' u prefer cot to answer that question." DEPOSITORS 'WANT A RECEIVER. The committee representing the Lawrence Back depositors met yesterday afternoon. While nothing was given out officially, it was reported that the committee decided to secure the services of two attorneys to pre sent papers in conrt for the removal of the assignee, 'William M. McKelvey, and in his stead appoint a receiver to wind up the affairs of the bank. It was also decided to send a committee to Harrisburg to ask Gen. Kirkpatrick to represent the State, as the depositors believe the laws of tbe Commonwealth have been violated. The committee solicited a state ment of the condition of the bank from Mr. Hoerr, but the latter refused to give it The committee met again last evening in the office of Senator TJpperman and decided to send the committee to Hrrrisburg to-day. A call was issued for a meeting of the de positors on Friday evening at the Lawrence School. representatives of the Lawrence School Board made a formal demand upon Presi dent Young yesterday afternoon for the school's money, amounting to $1,000, which Mr. Toung had in his possession as Treas urer of the Board. Mr. Young promised to return the money to-day or to-morrow. Mr. "William M. McKelvey, the assignee of the Lawrence Bank, is a brother to John H. McKelvey, the white lead manufac turer, of the firm ot Armstrong & McKel vey, and is at present living at his. brother's house on Neglcy avenue, in the Nineteenth ward. He was visited last evening by a reporter for The Dispatch, but declined to say anything concerning the Lawrence Bank, saying that he had been worn out by the importunities of the day and desired rest for the responsibilities of'the morrow. INCIDENTS OF THE DAT. The choice of William M. McKelvey, President of the Third National Bank of, Allegheny, assignee of the Lawrence Bank, appears to give about as much satisfaction as -would that of any other man. Messrs. Michael Flanagan, William F. Eichenlaub, Charles F. Hilger, B, J. Bich ardsonand Senator John TJpperman were busily engaged yesterday trying the plumb ' and sanare on his reputation, and so far as heard from it stood all right, and weighed -16 ounces to the pound. They will not , probably make any more until alter he hat made a report, but they swear by the great horned spoon that if any officer of the bank is shown to be crooked he shall be taken care of. Cashier" Hoerr was on hand showing evi dences of having come through the flint mill. He had come to the office of Mr. McCook, with President Young, to sign the assignment document and attach the seal of the bank. He said he could not make any statement as the assignee had instructed him not to talk, but refer all inquirers to him, the assignee. He is reported, howver, as stating that the bank had loaned $300,000 lately, and heavy depositors having with drawn subsequently they were unable to. make clearances. Several visits were made to the office of Mr. McCook, in the Bakewell building, bnt he was either bnsy with a client in the back room or out, A young gentleman in the office stated that nothing had been accom plished save the appointment of Mr. Mc McKelvey as assignee and that he was at work. WORKED THE EEAB DOOR. Mr. John M: Kennedy was equally as hard to reach until the inquirer happened to recollect that a rear door led to the sanc tum sanctorum and opened it gently. Mr. Kennedy suspended work long enough to say there was nothing new in the affairs of J. D. Long & Co., and then went on with his business. Lawyers are. as a rule, amiable men to interview, but if they don't want to talk they do cot often allow attempts to force it to worry them "nor stamp wrinkles in the brow of vouth nor cadent tears feed chan nels in their cheeks." One who is counsel for a stockholder says he is confident that depositors' prospects are not worth shucks, and he seemed to think the sooner they made up their minds to this belief the better they would fare. Another lawyer who refused to allow his name or the use of those of the principals, told how a friend of the bank got himself in for $500 a day or two before suspension. "John Smith'" owed a Louisville house $500 for goods and gave "Sam Jones" the money to buy exchange on New York at the Ar senal Bank, to be used as . payment Brown, however, dealt with the Lawrence Bank, and turned in the money there and sent his own check. After the collapse the check came back, bnt Brown had arranged for the German National Bank to take care of it, and now he is in a brown study to de termine whether he shall or shall not pay $500 for his friendship. C0EW0EKEKS TO CONFER. They Want to Parade To-Morrow, bnt the Operators Desire Them to Work. It was stated in labor circles yesterday that the trouble between the management of the H. C. Frick Coke Company at the works and the workers was owing to the continued attempts of one of the local superintendents to create dissensions among them. The object was said to be for the purpose of breaking down the organization which at present exists with a view to inducing such a state of demoralization among the men as will render easier a re-adjustment of the wage scale iu February. The men in the district number about 14,000, and a large proportion of them are organized within the K.of L. A meeting will be held to-night at Scott dale to maice final arrangements for a turn out to-morrow. - The men want to close down for the day, but the operators wish them to continue at work. To-night it will be decided whether any contingent from Scottdale will take part in the Armstrong parade or cot THEI STK0CK WITHOIW CAUSE. The Jennnette Boxnalte,i Have No Fancy for Cat KbIIs. The bozmakers employed at Chambers & McKee's factory, Jeannette, went out on strike yesterday morning against the use of cut nails in lieu of wire nails, as had been the custom. The firm run oat of wire nails and sent a supply of cut into the factory, but the men declined to nse them, although they were given distinctly to understand that they were only as an emergency, and that cnt nails would alone be employed in Juture.. Master Workman Boss went down to institute an inquiry, and on learning of the circumstances directed the men to return to work, which will be resumed to-day. The 14 boimakers concerned in this very ex treme cause for inconveniencing themselves and their employers cannot be congratulated on their common sense. IK A BOILER EXPLOSION. Two Men Killed at tho New Steel Works at Dnqnesne Station. About 1:30 a. m. yesterday a boiler in tbe Duquesne Steel Works let go, wrecking the boiler house, killing two men and badly in juring several others. Out of the battery of seven boilers none of the others were in jured. No cause can be found for the acci dent, as the two dead men are the only ones who could give any information on the sub ject William Marshal, the night foreman, who leaves a widow and seven children, was 39 years of age. William Cooper, whose home is at Saltsburg, only lived until about 3 p.m. HITHER AND THITHER. Movements of Flttsbargers and Others of Wide Acquaintance. A gentleman, Dr. Jessi, an Italian phy sician, practicing at Zaccatecas, Mexico, was at tbe Seventh Avenue Hotel yesterday. He doesn't think tbe Koria mice will pan out much, altbonch he says there is plenty of ore in that vicinity. It would be well for American investors to cote carefully what Dr. Jessi says, as he is well acquainted with Mexico. He says American investors are not generally popular with the Mexicans and suffer in their estima tion in comparison with English investors. He states that most Americans come to Mexico merely to speculate. They get options for a small sum. organize companies and then post back to the United States and sell stock in mushroom companies, muKine money for them selves and at tne expense of both Mexicans and Americans. Very frequently, he says, they send machinery to tbe mines, which Is Inade quate for the work, and tbe result is generally scandal, and almost every operation a fresh blot on the fair fame of the United (States. On tbe other band, English investors mean busi ness acd go about their work in a business way, depending on working their mines for money Instead ot by speculation, and are gen erally remarkably successful, having the good will of tbe Qreasers at their back, and these people, when well treated, develop good traits. Dr. Jessi states that when bants break in Mex ico the officers stand in great danger of being shot Mr. A. P. Burchfield, of this city, yes terday received a telegram from General Rus sell A. Alger, of Michigan, Commander in Chief of theG. A. IL, stating that his visit to Pittsburg would have to be postponed until Decembers, Instead of November 30, as origin ally arranged. A committee has been appoint ed to make arrangements, and the Commander will be royally entertained at Old City Hall when he comes.

BREAK $ Chester and Butler Counties Lead in tho , Eevolt. A STATE CONVENTION IMPENDING The non-partisan faction of tbe W". C. T. TJ. has about completed arrangements for calling a State convention to decide upon a plan for future action. The list of ques tions sent out a short time ago, and which have been published in these columns, are being answered from all parts of the State, and the indications are that when the meet ing is called at least 200 unions in the State will be represented. The question that is receiving the atten tion of the non-partisans just now is: "Where shall the meeting beheld?" One of the prominent workers from the northern end of the State, said in a letter received by one of the local women yesterday: "Let the meeting be held in Philadelphia, where we will have the press back of us, and we will be free from a class of women with their political caucuses." Correspondence is being carried on daily with the non partisan workers all over the State. Be ports from all quarters indicate that the local unions are beginning to feel that the W. C. T. U. is departing from its original platform and weakening and Injuring its influence by allying itself with a political party, and are ready to extend the band of auxiharyship to all other unions which may cow or hereafter organize on the basis of non-sectarian, non-political W. C. T. TJ. work. a cojrsTrrTmoN prepared. The following are extracts from the pre amble, constitution and by-laws of the Christian Temperance League, of Chester county, which will be embodied in tbe one submitted for adoption at the State meeting: We, tbe women of Chester county, desiring total abstinence for the individual and prohibi tion for our county, State and nation, pledge our comradeship in the battle for constitutional prohibition as the sure relief against the sa loon. We unite for Christian, temperance, educational work and direct our efforts as a practical organization to what is within reason able accomplishment and of immediate service to tempted human nature. We do, therefore, establish tne following constitution for our government: This onrantzatlon shall be call the Christian Temperance Leagne The object of this league shall be to Interest and unite the women in con-sectarian, con-partisan temper ance work: to plan and carry forward measures whjcb, with the blessings of God, will result in the promotion of total abstinence and the removal of the liquor tiaffic from our borders. Word was received yesterday from Butler that 27 members ot the union at that place had withdrawn to organize a non-partisan league. The following are extracts from a statement issned by the seceders, giving the reasons why they withdraw : The original and pronounced central Idea upon which the W. C. T. U. was organized, was that of a central field outside of tbe pale of cbnrch or party. On this broad basis the orderprew andprospered, women of every shade ot Christian and political faith United in earnest thought and counsel against the common enemy. Broad and deep foundations were laid for a uniform national system ot labor in fields educational, correctional, reformatory and legislative, and the world looking on thought that the days of the rule of misery and death from intemperance were numbered, and that the generation of youths now growing up under this educational Influence wonld see, not as their fathers saw, bnt as their mothers bad taught, and by their acts in their various fields of pulpit, press acd legislative hall, would wipe out the remnant of the liquor traffic. UNDER THE FABTY LASH. But now, thousands ot true and loyal mem bers are obliged to sit in silence under the rulings of party machinery, or bear themselves branded as disloyal, in attempts to raise their voices in minority protests. We believe the work of tbe Women's Christian Temperance Union lies above and beyond the lines of party politics. Deeply grieved at the-condl-tion ot affairs In State and nation, we cannot yet forswear our 'vows and leave others for their pleasure the fruits of our labors and tbe duties delegated to us by a Power higher than they. Therefore, actuated by tbe dic tates of conscience, and loyal tothetemperance cause, we shall withdraw from the Women's Christian Temperance Unijn. and cordiilly welcome to our ranks all who are of like minds and beliefs with ourselves. It is stated that within the next week the time and place of meeting will be decided upon. The meeting will adopt a plan of work for submission to the various local unions. Information has been received which indicates that entire unions will withdraw from the present W. C. T. TJ. and affiliate with the new league. This makes matters look pretty blue fot the old union, as many of their hardest workers and stanchest supporters have withdrawn. YERY SANGUINE EXPRESSIONS. The Expo Mnnneera Dlscnss Receipts and the Future Prospects. The Exposition Society managers met yesterday afternoon. It was expected that Manager Johnston wonld make a report of' his visit to the Paris Exposition, bnt he has not had time to formulate a report The Finance Committee reported on the receipts of the exhibit just closed, and while no figures are made public, it is said that the net receipts are greater than those real ized by any other Exposition in the country in their first year. Iu speaking of the show ing made by the Exposition this year, Mr. Johnston said: "The receipts for the firs t year shows that the people were satisfied with the exhibit; that it met their views entirely. That the Exposition was a benefit to the city there can be no doubt Tbe business of the city shows it Tbe business men and hotel men leel it, and what is needed now is a general rising up of the people to uphold the man agers' hands; to give them encouragement by helping the enterprise along, and it will only be a matter ot a few years until Pitts burg's Exposition will exceed any other in the country." GEOEGE E0SLWELL DEAD. The Attempted fenlcldo at Sharpsbnrg Proves Successful. George Bosewell, the man who shot him self in the bead at Sharpsburg on Sunday afternoon, died at the Allegheny General Hospital at 3.50 yesterday afternoon.

"mJmoYMBm ANOTHER ELOPEMENT. MUsElla Heaps Weds Mr. Cheater W. Thompson Despite Parental Objectless The Camden Rome Was Taken. The elopement fever continues to run neck and neck -with other contagious affections which are now prevalent in this city. The latest episode in this line is the runaway of a 17-year-old miss with a well known society yoncg man who Is not yet out of his teens. The parties in the game of hearts, which, was played in New Jersey last Sunday mornlngi are Miss Ella Heaps, daughter of the well-known grocer on Fifth avenue, and Chester W. Thompson, a clerk in the Fidelity Title and Trust Company's office on Fourth avenue. The young lady is just out ot school, and has been acting as cashier in her father's store, corner Firth avenue and Logan street She met Mr. Thompson at a party about a year and a half ago, and tbe friendship which followed soon ripened into love. Young Thompson W8S a frequent caller at the Heaps residence, and Borne time ago asked the young lady's father for his daughter's hand. This was refused on accouut of the tender years of Miss Ella, but it only added fuel to the flame of love. The entreaties of the young lady were of no avail, and last week the conple decided to elope. On Sunday morning Miss Heaps got up very early, and without taking much bag gage with her left the house. She was joined by her lover and the pair went to th Union station. There they took the day axpress for Philadelphia. Upon arriving in the Quaker City, they hurried to Camden and asked the first minister they ran across to marry them. This was the Bev. J. C. Dizinger. who tied the knot quicker than any spiritualistic medium could undo it. JAfjer the short but interesting ceremony the couple returned to Philadelphia, and there remained. They took in the sights which were familiar to the groom, and at midnight Monday they took the Pacific ex press and arrived; home yesterday afternoon. They went to the residence of the bride and broke the news, which was anticipated, to the family. The father of-the young lady, who was at first disposed to be nnamiable, looked at the matter in a philosophical light and forgave them. Mr. Thompson lives on Chatham street and is well known in social circles. He was a clerk in the ofiice of the City Assessor two years ago. On account of his health failing he took a trip to California, where he re mained about ten months. He is now con nected with the Trust Company. His bride is small in stature, very fair, with blonde hair, and the oldest daughter in the family. Mr. Heaps was seen last night bv a Dis patch reporter. He said: "Yes, my daughter arrived home this evening, and her husband was with her. I do not see that anything can be done about the matter, and all I could say would not alter the case. I objected to the marriage because my daughter was too young to become a wife. Instead of taking my advice they hurried off as soon as possible, and were married despite my objections. I suppose they will have to paddle their own canoe, as I did and others have done, in similar cases." DISOWNED BY HIS FAMILY. A Marriage Which Brought a Suicide la Its Train. A most peculiar case of suicide occurred in Braddock on Monday, which was not dis covered until yesterday afternoon. About three'weeks ago Frank Tausey, a brother-in-law of Charles Zugsmith, the jeweler, started a pawn-broking and jewelry busi ness in Braddock. He appeared to be de spondent, and although business was flour ishing, did not atttend to it with that vim which had previously characterized him in his pursuits. On Monday the store was observed to be closed all the afternoon, and curiosity was aroused among the good bur gesses of Braddock. Yesterday afternoon some of the neigh bors climbed over the transom, and entering Tansev's room, found him lying on a lounge with a bullet hole through the center of his. forehead and a "Dictator" revolver in hi hand. The appearances indicated that le must have died instantly. The reports current as to the cause of tie suicide vary. Some claim that he found business dull and had been heard to declare that if it did not brighten he wonld blow his brains out Another tale, and probably tbe more likely one, is that he bad married a Boman Catholic young lady, about a year ago, and was disowned in consequence by his father, who is a prominent merchant in Harrisburg. He separated from his wife a short time ago and she went to Washington, D. C.,whence she was expected to return to morrow. There is no donbt of the fase, being one of suicide, as Emma-Spisler, a member of the family, heard the shot fired on Monday afternoon, to which no attention was paid, as it was thought he was tryina or cleaning some of the pistols he held in stock. The inquest will be held this morning. PROF. PATTERSON ILL A Noted Educator and Editor Nat Expected to Live flinch Longer. Prof. Eobert Patterson, of Sewickley, is not expected to live long. Hs was stricken with 'paralysis night before last, and last evening it was not considered likely that he would last long, his right side being entirely paralyzed. Prof. Patterson, who is one of the editors and proprietors ot the Pretbyterian Banner, was born in this city October 17, 1821, and was educated at Canonsburz Academy and Jefferson College. He read law with Hon. T. H. Baird. and was admitted to practice, but from 1850 to 1854 taught mathematics in Jefferson College. He next spent four years in the same profession in OaK College, Mis sissippi, and six years in Center College, Danville, Ky.

THE THIEF GETS AWA SCOT FREE A daring attempt at robbery, which was partially successful, was perpetrated in Allegheny last night About 8 o'clock an unknown man walked into the bakery and confectionery store of C. F. Pritzschke, at the corner of North Canal and Chestnut streets, and asked for money. A young lady named Miss Breicht was behind the counter. The mau said, "give me all 'you've got," and at the same time pushed a pistol into her face. She screamed and ran to a pair of stairs leading to the bake shop below and called to the workmen to come up. The thief, however, had reached over the counter and pulled out the coney till. Mrs. Pritzschke ran lorward to stop him and caught at the drawer, which was knocked to the floor. Hearing the men running up the stairs, tbe thief ran out of the door and met them as they came up. i He ran up North Canal street, with one of the bakers after him, ahd just as the lat ter was about to catch him the thief turned and shot at him. The baker was not struck, but was close enough to hear the ballet whistle past his head, anct at once stopped. The thief then ran on to Madison avenue, and by this time quite a crowd had col lected. Officers Williams and Thompson were in the vicinity and gave chase, and were also shot at when about half a block from the man. The last seen of him was when he disappeared among a lot of freight cars on the West Penn Bailroad. There was $94 in paper money in the drawer at the time and a lot of silver, the thief getting about ?10 of the latter, but none of the paper money. Shortly after the robbery Boundsman Wilson saw a man act ing queerly on a Troy Hill car, and as the man got off the car at City Hall Wilson arrested him and placed him a cell. Mr. Pritzschke and Miss Breicht called at the locknn shortly afterward, and the lady was taken to look ait the prisoner, but she said at once he was not the man. This man gave his name as Charles Hel mold, and his home as Saxonburg. He was very indignant, as well as drunk, when he was about to be released, and, giving the officers some impudence, he was again locked up on a charge of drunkenness. CONSULTED HI8 LAWIERS. Governor Beaver Beverses Himself In tho Mencbor Extradition Case. Attorney Charles McKee, who was down to Harrisburg in the interest of James Mo Knight, asked Governor Beaver about the Dennis Meagher extradition case, published in Monday's Dispatch, in which District Attorney Porter said he had received a tele gram from the Governor stating that a bail piece was all that was required to take the man back. The Governor said that a man can only be extradited for a criminal of fense. In this, as in many others which have been sent to him, the only point apparent vas the fact that the bondsman wanted him lack to hold himself good. For such a cause he conld not grant extradition papers as the record did not warrant it He thought that if the officer went to New York with She bail piece, arrested his prisoner and took aim before anv Judce in New York there pould be no refusal. If a warrant were (taken out for Meagher as an escaped crimi nal he would also be given up without diffi culty, out ne aiuiiob imuit uuvcruur xuu would recognize the record as presented in the case as warranting the return of the man. Detective Coulson telegraphed last night late to the Police Bureau that the papers had been made out in the Meagher case and he was going to New York by the first train to get his man. This showed that the Gov ernor had again changed his mind on the subject, and according to District Attorney Porter's opinion was this time probably in consultation with his legal advisers.

A BIS GOT II COAL Tbe Pkfsfcorx swot UmiherB Cosspassr Startles the Market Alter tbe Baaibeni Bayera at AH Hazards. The Pittsburg and Southern Coal Cea pany yesterday madeadecidedcutintbe price of coal at the New Orleans market, whleh places coal close down to the margin of the ceec of production.'Ithas been well known alosg Water street for two months that the coal men were not making any money this fall. The coal price has been so close to the figare of cost that nobody, except the large opera tors, have made any money whatever, and the large operators have had, on the face of the returns, very little profit The new cat leaves the smallest margin practicable. As one of the large operators said yesterday: "The limit left to us is the very smallest oa which we can do business, but at the same time it ought to show to the miners that we are unable to pay the half cent extra which thev demand." The cut ordered yesterday for coal at New Orleans is as follows: First and Second 7001 coal from 29 to 25 cents a barrel; Third pool from 28 to 24 cents; Fourth pool from 27 to 23 ceuts. A barrel of coal, according to 'the meas urement of coal made in the New Orleans market, is 2 3-5 bushels. At the rate of 25 cents for the best coal the cost price per bushel for the New Orleans operators is about 9)4 cents, a little over, per bushel. jur. Aicnard .Harrows, the Secretary ot tberuoal .Exchange, said yesterday: "i o profit is, left, by the low rate on coal, to the operators. I do not believe that a single operator on the river this season has made a dollar on the coal business. The margin has been too small, even leaving out of ac count the heavy losses which the river oper ators have suffered daring this fall, where many barges have gone down." There is likely to lie a lively contest among Pittsburg operators for the New Orleans market Opposed to the heavy operators who are joined in the Pittsburg and South ern Company, there are others, some of whom have yielded the 3-cent per bushel price demanded by the miners, and cannot afford to yield to the reduction on the lower river. The Moren line, T. L. Wood and brother and other independent operators were in the city yesterday conferring as to the manner in which they would meet the cut They are sorely puzzled and freely confess their inability to make a cent at the new rates. According to the manner in which coal is sold at New Orleans, the package goes with. the coal; in other words, the coalboat Itself is included in the price of iale per bushel, as stated. This fact emphasizes the meaning of tbe heavy cut made, and illustrates the determination of the large dealers of Pitts- hurg to hold the Southern marJtetatallodas. HUMANE SOCIETY REORGANIZED.

As far as the parks concerned tbe BoHtbside, he sold they had a mucn greater advantage than tbe East Enders. They could reach the Schenley Parkmuch nnlcker over the nronosed Thirtv-fourth street bridge than the -people from East Lib erty could. How far the opposition would go he did sot know, but of this he felt as- cured, that the appropriation ordinance would contain at the proper time an item for the improvement of the grand gilt which the city has so receatly received.
