The benefit at the Opera House on Wednes
day evening, April 2, for the regimental fund,
bids fair to prove an entire success. All legions
wishing tickets will have to apply to Adjutant
Joseph B. Eaton, at the office of the City Treas
urer. Citj Hall. Quite a coutest in the sale of
tickets is aging. Look out for No. 10.

oldt knew bow to do it, and after the meeting
the visitors were invited to a neighboring hos
tlcry, whereasnlendid repast was in waiting.
To say that thebojs enjoyed itwould be put
tingit mildly. The Colonel intends to visit all
the legions in the first regiment. March 24 he
will visit 2fo. 27, Mount Washington.
CORPORAL PUNISHMENT AGAIN.
Results or Superintendent Lackey's Inves
tigation Flnnl Examinations.
Superintendent Lnckcy has been correspond,
ine with the Bchool Superintendents of the
various cities making inquiries of them as to
whether corporal punishment is permitted in
their schools, and whether they favor or dis
approve of it. Superintendent Jasper, of New
York City, writes as follows:
"Discipline In our schools was never better
than at present. From personal knowledge of
the system as It was conducted with corporal
punishment, I am firmly convinced that the
difference in order and discipline is vastly in
favor or the present ststem. Corporal punish
ment is entirely prohibited."
An ordinary river separates ewiork and
Brooklyn, yet the superintendent of the schools
of the latter city favors the use of the rod. Su
perintendent McAllister, of Philadelphia,
writes:
"I disapprove of it, and hold that it ought to
be banished without delay from the public
schools of the country."
The Chicago. Cleveland and Erie superin
tendents are opposed to corooral punishment.
Columbus, Baltimore, Richmond, Va., Toledo
and Washington. D. C, all have corporal pun
ishment in their schools, esthetic Boston is
yet to be heard from.
The principals of the Pittsburg schools met
yesterday to dtscnss a resolution brought up
at a former meeting that punils of the primary
and grammar grades be promoted on class rec-
oru anu not uy ine test oi a nnai examination.
Prof. S. A. Andrews presided, and H. W.
Fisher was secretary. The trend of the discus
sion was that if examination be abolisued as
the means of determining the fitness of a
pupil in the ward schools, the same rule ought
to apply for admission to the High school.
Superintendent Luckey hoped the time would
come when there would be no examination for
High School, but the way is not clear yet.
Prof. Woods, of the High School, was nresent.
and said he hoped the day would come when
final examination would be abolished, that
we're drifting thatwav. The resolution was
adopted by 13 in favor and 5 against. The res
olution lias no binding effect, but shows the
views of the principals.
Another resolution was brongbt up that 20
per cent of those members of High School
classes composed of more than five pupils, who
had made a class record of E0 per cent, be ad
mitted to High School without examination,
provided thev bo recommended by the princi
pals to be properly qualified. This resolution,
the most of the principals thought, would not
do justice to the other members of the class, as
it lavored the brilliant and not the workers, and
was defeated.

The dedication exercises will Do postponed till

domiciled in the Sixth Presbyterian Church on
Franklin street Consequently the Franklin
School will bo a divided one until the comple
tion of the new building, which every effort
will be mado to have finished by the 1st of

Grant street, it appears, is to be kept
abreast of other thoroughfares in the matter
of improvement. It was learned yesterday
that the three old buildings, Nos. 416, 418
and 420, corner Grant and Fourth avenue,
belonging to the "WHkins estate, are to be
torn down to make room for a fine seven or
ei:rht-story structure for business and offices.
This and the Dalzell building, immediately
opposite, will attract attention to a long
neglected part of the city.
A deal is cooking for about 40 lots front
ing on the Braddock road, just beyond
AVilkinsburg. If sold, they will be built
on the coming summer. The property sold
by Samuel W. Black & Co. for 40.000. men
tioned in TnE DisrATCH at the time, is situ
ated on the corner of Fourteenth street and
Penn avenue. The lot is 55x100.
A gentleman connected with ;tho real estate
firm of Samuel W. Black 4 Co. visited Alle
gheny City on Friday. What happened follows:
"Tho first place I struck was Ohio street," said
he, in telling the story. "I was born and
brought up over there, and know most of tho
old citizens and many of tho new ones. Here
and there I saw groups of people on the street
corners evidently discussing something of un
usual interest to them. Approaching one of
these groups, 1 asked a man what was up. He
replied by asking me if I had seen The Dis
patch. This cleared up tho mystery at once.
They had read the account of the formation of
a syndicate to buy up Ohio "street property and
were swapping opinions abont it. Tenants
looked rather blue, and expressed fears
that the result would be an advance in
rents, which they declared they couldn't pay.
Owners, however, were cheerful. They wanted
to know all about the syndicate, who composed
it. the amount of capital, etc. I gave them all
tho information I could, which was very little.
What struck me as remarkable was the moder
ation of their views. Not the slightest symp
tom of a boom could be discovered. They
hoped ths syndicate would push things, as
something of the kind was needed to stir up the
city. Before I left I had offers of almost half
of Madison Square at $500 to S700 a foot front."
It was rumored yesterday that Captain J. J.
Vandegrift had resumed negotiatious for the
purchase of the Fitzsimmons property on
Fourth avenue, but his agents denied that
there was any truth in it, saying the property
was out of the market at anything under J100,
000, or almost $1,000 a foot front. The owners
will probably improve it themselves.

Canvassers aro close observers of the weather.
When they have important business with a
man, they generally wait for a pleasant day.
To "strike" him at anv other time would im
peril their success. T can't do much such
weather as this," remarked a directory hustler
yesterday. "Why notT You will probably find
all the people you want to see either in their
stores or shops, or at home." "I am aware of
that," he replied; "but they aro cross.
They always are in disagreeable weather.
There is a closer connection between sunshine
and business than most people think. I have
f onnd it out by experience. To attempt to do
anything to-day in my line would be a waste of
energy, and as I don't want to be kicked out or
have doors slammed in my face, I will wait for
a change of weather. Pittsburg is no worse in
this respect than other cities, although the
provocation is greater. Bad weather and bad
humor aro closely linked together everywhere."
GLEABED FROM THE BASKS.
A Comfortable Honey SInrher, With Large
Galnp Over Last Tear.
The local financial situation was comfortable
and encouraging yesterday. Checking showed
an improvement over the previous day, and
depositing was brisk. There was a fair busi
ness demand for discounts and plenty of cash
to supply It. Disagreeable weather was the
only thing complained of.
Bank clearings for the week were nearly $2,
500, COO greater than those for the same time
last year. If business was good then, as was
claimed at the time, and with no small degree
of pride, it must be better now. The gain can
be explained no other way. Signs of an active
spring trade are multiplying, and preparations
for it are well under way.

considerable wheat for sale at top prices, which
caused a reaction and held the market in check.
The short interest has covered very freely the
past two or three days, having become some

and numerous reports received of damage to
growing crop from various winter wheat se
tions. Advices from Kentucky reoort tha

cold weather. A letter from Mich&n waTr
ceived from reliable sources claiming wheat
looking bad and that millers in somo spr tfnn
had difficulty in getting all the wheat they
wanted to grind. Weather Bureau predicted
cold weather for to-day. followed by rising
temperature Sunday. Cable advices noted
firmer feeling. Corn was fairly active within

It is encouraging to note the increased and
increasing interest which Pittsburg capitalists
are taking in real estate. It enconroges the
hope that building will soon1 be prosecuted on
a scale of sufficient magnitude to supply the
demand for houses. Scarcity of funds was
formerly urged as an excuse for not building.
While this may have been a sufficient reason
a few years ago, it is valid no longer. The
banks and private individuals aro ready and
willing to advance any amount of money at
regular rates on real estate collateral, which is
now considered the best security in the market.
With plenty of money to back it, building
shoula be vigorously prosecuted during the
next few years, until all the vacant spots aro

All tho leading natural gas companies in tho
northern and eastern parts of Indiana, 12 in
all, have formed a trust and have taken in other
companies in the central and southern sections.
The aggregate capital of these companies is $3,
500,000 and they control through leases nearly
200,000 acres of land in the best gas fields. One
of the trust's objects will be to regulate tho
price to De paid farmers for land. Some of
these farmers have formed companies and get
their gas from their own fields, but the trust
will soon drive them out. Consumers regard
the trust with apprehension.
The unfavorable weather during the greater
part of last week caused a slight falling off in
the volume of general trade, with a correspond
ing weakening in prices. Still there was an
active movement for the season, as shown by
the bank clearings, which were nearly $2,500,000
greater tnan lor the corresponding time last
year. Any gain over 1SS9 is gratifying and en
couraging, but such a large one as the figures
above given indicate is surprising. With such
prosperity, Pittsburg can well stand a slight
drop now and then. It gives variety and serves
for comparison.
SOLID AT THE BOTTOM.
Close of a Bad Week In Stocks Nearly
Everything Stronr.
Yesterday ended one of the dullest weeks
ever known on the Stock Exchange. Sales for
the day were 55 shares, and for the week 960.
There were no material changes either way.but
nearly everything was firm.
The prevailing apathy should not be attrib
uted to a want of confidence in the securities
but to a radical and apparently irreconcilable
difference between buyers and sellers.and both
so settled in their convictions as to be unwilling
to make concessions. That prices remain strong
with so little doing would convince invostors of
the futility of holding out tor more favorable
terms.
There were no surprises during the week.
The decline in Allegheny Heating Company
was only a natural reaction from a too sudden
advance. The sharp rise in Westinghouse Air
brake was the logical result of statements show,
ing tho company to be overrun with business.

A Sharp Rally All Bonnd and Traders
Greatly Encountered.
Oil moved on a higher level yesterday, and
trading was brisk for the short timo it lasted.
The best price was reached about 11 o'clock,
and the lowest just before the close. Two or
three good-sized blocks were absorbed by the
local crowd. The financial support came from
New l'ork. Thero was a good feeling through
out, and the final qnotation was within a small
fraction of the best of tho day. Traders were
greatly encouraged. The range was: Opening,
S9 highest. 90; lowest, 89; closing. 9a The
lowest a year ago yesterday was 89. Friday's
clearances were 696.000 barrels. For the week
they were 2.914.000.
The Marion Oil and Uas Company, Limited
of Allegheny, was incorporated yesterday. Carv
ital, $fi,250. divided into 50 shares at $125 per
share. ,The company is composed of business
men of this city and Allegheny. The officers
are: A. C. Moeckel, President; Charles A.
Burgy. Secretary, and James M. McNeill,
Treasurer. The company possesses valuable
leases in the Wcstview oil district, and will
commence operations at onco on the Breen
farm, which is abont 1,000 feet northeast of tho
Ivory well.
The big gasser Btruck on Friday by W. E.
Griffith 011 the William Whitesell farm, a mile
or two southwest of Wildwood, on the Pitts
burg and Western Railroad, in Allegheny
county, took a sui prising turn yesterday, spray
ing oil quite heavily and giving every indica
tion of developing into a big oil gusher. Instead
ot being the biggest gis well ever struck in
Allegheny county. It will not bo at all surprls
ing to see this strike result in the biggest oil
gusber ever struck in this country.
The latest Chartlers Valley wells are nearly
all good ones. Several others are about due.
xrry wens are tcarce in mas nem.
The well on the John McClure farm, near
Prospect, in the Butler field, is being drilled
and a mystery made of it. This well Is several
miles north of developments. The derrick has
been inclosed with canvas to shut off the view
of inteiested spectators.

Copy of this policy will be furnished to any one

Going Up Little Oatsldo Inquiry
for Mocks, but n Generally
Hopeful Feeling.
New York, March 15. The general market
to-day has been steady and dull, with a notable
absence of outside inquiry for stocks. The
sentiment at large is bullish rather than bear
ish, but it does not manifest itself In any im
portant buying. While such shares as Atchi
son, the Grangers, Louisville and Nashville and
Missouri Pacific were practically unchanged.
a good rise took place in the Vanderbilts. Lake
Shore, New York Central and Michigan Cen
tral are closely held for investment, and a little
demand puts them up easily, as for example,
the same demand would advance Delaware and
Hudson.
Manhattan Elevated was a featnro among
the specialties, and it rose IX per cent on lim
ited business.
Reading was strong throughout and the pros
pect is that it will go still higher on Monday.
There is no use to argue about the state of the
coal trade, it has nomine to do with the mar
ket price 0 Reading. There is a bull clique
in absolute control and a short interest that
must settle.
Chicago Gas was a little lower, and so was

The Post says: The encouraging report of
the New York Central earnings for the first
qnarter of the year was accepted as indicative
of the business of all the trunk Hops tn tha a r
lantic seaboard, and bad an apparent effect in
the increased trading in and higher prices for
all the Vanderbilt stock. The advance of this
week was therefore well maintained, and leaves
Reading, New York Central, Michigan Central,
Lake Shore, Cleveland, Cincinnati, Chicaco and
St. Louis, St. Paul, Rock island, Burlington
and Manhattan all from 12 points higher
than a week ago and from 49 points higber
than the lowest prices for this year, made from
February 21 to 27. The general expectation
was that the bank statement would
be a decided improvement over last
ween. wnen it was announced it
showed an Increase of $839,450 in tho surplus
reserve, concurrent with an increase of 5761,406
In the legal tender and specie, and a decrease
of 81,548,000 in the loans, without much cbauge
in ine otner items, unis was quite as lavorablo
a statement as could reasonably be expected,
considering that the1 collections of customs and
revenue by the New York sub-Treasury were
83.343.000 for the week, and the total collections
at all the United States Treasuries for the
same period were 89,135,200, as reported from
Washington, the bond purchases to the extent
of 83,274,050 for the week, have therefore only
about offset the Treasury collections at New
York alone.
