RECORDS TO BE OUT SOON. lhe Bearer Hirer Boute Favored and its idvantases Over the French Creek as a Waterwaj. BOTH Mil BE CHANNELS OF COHMEKCiS. Kiay Krw Feists BnragU Oct About tie Hstai Drsinsge of tie Route. The surreys of the Pennsylvania Ship Canal are practically finished, and the State rill be asked to complete the canal. It ii only a question of a short time now until the energetic Commissioners will be ready to report to the Government They hare compiled data about the benefits and advan tages tbat a ship canal would afford the rast producing regions abounding the proposed route, and will present this in connection with the reports of survevs. The commission held its monthly meet ing at the office of the Monongahela Navi gation Company yesterday morning, and heard the reports of surreys made by Mr. Goodwin. The reports showed tbat surreys orer the French creek route have been com pleted, and that the work of surveying the Bearer rirer route had been finished down to the mouth of that stream. All that re mains for the commission to do now is to make the final surreys from Davis Island dam to the Bearer rirer, a distance of 20 miles, end to make its estimate of the cost of tie great undertaking. ONLY TWENTY-FIVE MIIAHWS. The commission as a body hare not as yet given any figures as to what it would cost to build the canal, but as indiridoals they have admitted it would cost as much, if not more, than the Welland Canal, which con nects Lake Huron and Michigan. The cost to the Canadian Gorernment for this great waterway was something like $25,000,000, and several members of the Canal Com mission hare figured that it will surely re quire this amount to construct it at the lowest figures. At its Drevious meeting the Commission discussed the merits of the "Welland Canal, a visit having been made to Canada by several engineers and figures on the amount of tonnage rearly on tbe abore canal were secured. The commission figured from this that the tonnage on the proposed waterway to Lake Erie would be many millions greater annually, estimating the carrying capacity of vessels in use ou the Canada canal and those tbat are to be used on the proposed Pennsylvania ship canal. Tl s Commission's reports will furnish all the information which they have col lected about both the French creek and Beaver river routes. They will not make any recommendation to adopt either of the two routes, which are perlectly feasible, but will present what data they hare secured on both of them. I5EATEE EIVEB EOUTE FAYOBED. It is understood that the Commission farors the Bearer rirer route, for the reason that the territory in that section is more densely populated, and sev eral large manufacturing towns will be in close proximity to the canal. Of the places near it are Bearer, New Brighton, Bearer Falls, New Castle, Sharon, Sharps ville and numerous other places that hare great prominence from the fact that they are all iron-producing places. Inriewof this the Cr umissioners generally favor the route in preference to French creek. Colonel T. P. Roberts was delegated to col lect for the commission all the data concern ing the latter route. Colonel Roberts spent some time on the work, and his report showed that the coun try was undeveloped and thinly populated for many miles, and, while the outlook for builcing up towns along tbe route is, good, he thought the Beaver river is the best His report showed that the territory abounded in mineral wealth and had a great luture before it. In an interview yesterday he said he thought it would be only a mat ter of a few years, if the Beaver rirer route was adopted, until the French creek line would be opened up to the lakes, giring us two waterways. Colonel Roberts was seen yesterday aiternoon. He said: EEPOKT "WILL BE ISSUED SOON. " We are progressing rery rapidly and our report will be forthcoming shortly. It will embrace all general information about the benefits to be derired from the canal. The loncer I am connected with the work the probabilities of the waterway magnify a hundredfold. " It is stated that the ship canal will be detrimental to the lake railroads, but I claim that it will not. Instead, it will be beneficial to the railroads. The only busi ness that the "canal will detract from the railways is the heary traffic in iron ore, iron and coal, but the increase in passage, travel, in proportion to the increase in population in tbe towns along the canal, will counter balance the decrease in freight tonnage. "The assertion has been made that if the Beaver river is selected as the route for the canal it will not benefit Pittsburg, but will boom the towns on the Beaver river. This impression is decidedly erroneous, and I firmly believe it will be the greatest thing erer done for Pittsburg when the Legislature authorizes the building of this canal. We hare every thing in practicable shape now. The neces sary profiles hare been made and the water way will hare but 49 loefcs, where the old Erie canal required 133. This canal was saving millions of dollars at the time it was abandoned. It has been said that a ship canal could not be built by the Bearer rirer route on account of the insufficient water supply, but this is absurd. Conneaut lake and several smaller bodies of water empty into the summit, 12 miles from Lake Erie, which will give a weight of 30 ;eet of water at all times. To ootaiu this locks will be built on the Beaver, which has an elevation of 315 feet abore the Pittsburg harbor level at a point 12 miles from Lake Erie. On the other side of this there is a tail of 412 feet, or 137 feet lower than the Ohio at New Brighton." BREAKING THE ICE. The Presbyterian Revisionists Now Fairly Started in Their Work. The committee working on the revision of the Presbyterian confession of faith, is still at work and are just as quiej as ever about their deliberation. Tbey havo only fairly began on their work and tbey can see a long, tedious job before them. So far everything has been harmonious and the committee is as yet a unit on the work. About two-thirds of the committee are revisionists and the otbers arc anti-revisionists. This very equally represents the church at large. The work as far as it has progressed has been on a very conservative line. The radical revision ists are held in check by the "antis," and thus those favoiiug a conservative chance have the advantage. From present indications another session of the committee: will be held before the work is fin ished, but thut session will not be held in Pitts burg. It will be held either Kast or West, wherever tbe majority of the committee choose. The present session will last abont a week yet and tbe next session will probably not be called until January or February. Diamonds. What for? Why, for holiday presents. Well, where can I buy them?

A Committee Learns the Possibility of Taking Water Out Sonthern 'Avenue Surveys or Several IJnes Made If They Fail Now the Citizens' Company Will be Organized. The people along Southern avenue, back of Knoxville and Beltzboover, who bare been appealing for a more liberal supply of water are to hare their demands supplied. The Birmingham Land Improvement Company has taken the matter in earnest, and it is assert ed tbat a new main will be laid out the avenue. The company has sent several committees to President Watson, of the Monongahela Water Company for the purpose of inducing bim if possible to extend tbe company's main oat to South View place, but each time Mr. Watson was seen bis answer was an unsatisfactory one. He said he was afraid to lay tbe main for fear there was not sufficient pressure to carry the water out. ine last time tne commutes ncu on him he very frankly told them that he was afraid the experiment would be an expensive and unsuccessful undertaking. Then came the talk about the citizens' water company to be organized. This proposed com pany was about to spring into existence, when the idea of having a survey made to ascertain whether or not water could be supplied turoagb the Monongahela com pany's mains. A committee was appointed to do this work. F.enz. of Benz Brothers, was chairman ot the committee, and he reported to a meeting of the directors of tbe company last night, that a sufficient heightonld be attained to supply everybody along Southern avenue. The meetins was held at Alderman Succop's office. The former committee was asked to see the Monongahela Water Company again and insist upon the mains being extended. If they fail this time, to use tho words of one of the directors, "the citizens' company will certainly be organized. We are in this thing now to see that tbe people along that tborongbfare get a better supply of water, and it must be given to them." Tbe land company has already surveyed a line from the river up through the township on the upper side of Beck's run to Southview place, and tbey have also received bids on the cost of water works and tanks. A VERY FRISKY GHOST. It Prevents Young Men From Going to See Their Girls at Night. Quite a number of people in tbe vicinity of Ewing's Mills, on Montour run, have seen a ghost lately, or if it isn't a chost it is something equally terrifying andnearly related. It is ghost ly In character, at least It has only been seen to walk at night. If it "pedestrianates" in day light it na'.ks invisible. Mrs. Ewing, who pre sides over the store at the mill, acknowledges that she saw it, bnt she did not appear to be alarmed. She stated that she bad heard of its appearance years ago and never learned that any harm attended it save the frightening of some nervous people. A gentleman who saw the supposed appari tion on Friday night says it started up the run a short distance above the coke ovens, and kept on tbe even tenor of its war; about 100 feet above tbe cround, until it came opposite Quinn's hollow, when it separated into two bodies, and after these had danced a jig or a polka, he wasn't certain whlcb, they again united and disappeared up the hol low in the direction of Forest Grove Church. He said some people bad been trying to ac count for the phenomenon by saying it was a will-o'-the wisp, bnt he says there is nothing in that section to create marsh gas, and this light, or whatever it may have been, did not come near tbe cround, but seemed to have an affinity for tbe hemlocks tbat skirt the side of the rocky hill. Whatever it may be, people in the vicinity who look upon what tbey regard as super natural, with suspicion, are somewhat shaken in their nervous systems. It is said tbat John Smith will not stay abont the mill at night and tbat Frank Beacom dare not go to see his giiTafter night, as to do so he must cross the spook's path. , AND STILL AHOTHER ROAD. Braddock Seems to Be a Great Place for Electric RaUways On Paper. Braddock borough seems in a fair way to have another street railway company which will insure citizens good treatment perhaps heat ers in the cars. At the time the home com pany knocked out all competition, a detailed account of which set-to was published in The Dispatch, the Braddock .Electric Railway Company, represented by Sailor and Ellis, was a competitor. Its claims were at the time shelved, but it has since pulled itself together and has agreed to take a back street for its route, ana at tbe last meeting by Braddock Council an ordinance granting right ot way pass6 second reading. People dowu the Ohio are beginning to un derstand tbat rapid transit Is the only thing tbat will ever pull tbem out ot the wilderne-s; but the old fogy portion when tbey put their hands into their pockets to get the money to bay stock, cannot ret tbem out again, so the suburbs in tbat section, the most picturesque roundabout, languish, and people of spirit have tired ot making efforts to put the cripples into the pool that they might be healed of their chronic ailment. TO WELCOME BISHOP PHELAK. A Big Reception to be Tendered Him on Ilis Arrival Home. nt Rev. Bishop Phelan, who will arrive home from his European trip about the 27th insfc, will be given a royal welcome by his friends. A meeting ot a number of prominent Catho lic laymen of Pittsburg and Allegheny was held last evening at tbe residence of C. A Dixon and arrangements made for the Bishop's reception. Charles McNally, chairman of the meeting, was appointed chief marshal of the parade, and circular letters will be sent to all tbe pastors of the city asking them to co operate and give the prelate a rousing wel come. Another meeting will be held bbortly to complete further arrangements. CADETS PARADE T0-M0BE0W. The Young Advocates of Temperance to be Out in Full Force.

The parade will form at 7:30 sharp. MORE FTJN FOR BOYS. They Steal Rides on Trains When They Go A-Nuttlug. The boys have found a new source of enjoy ment these days "when tbe sound of dropping nuts is heard." They go down the Ft, Wayne Railway in shoals, stealing tbelr way sometimes 25 to SO miles. Some go nutting and others simply aie outing, trusting to luck to get back in some way. Their bright, cheery countenances, with the somber framing of a freight car door-way, make a picturesque and pleasant picture. For Heating the 1'oslofflce. Bids were opened at the Treasury Depart ment in Washington yesterday lor steam heating and ventilating apparatus for the new United States Court House and Postofflce Duilding in this city. There were five bids, ranging from $46,850, by Samnel L Pope Co., of Chicago, to 76.209. by tbe Q, N. Evans Con struction Company, of Cleveland, O. A Combination Town Hall and Theater. Ooraopolis is to have a town hall with theat rical appointments. Flans have been made by Architect Cornelius for the proposed structure. Tbe first story will be rented for store rooms. The affair is to be managed by a joint stock company. LOCAL ITEMS. LIMITED. Incidents of a Day in Two Cities Condensed for Ready Reading. There were 353 deaths in Pittsburg daring September, an increase of 1 over tbe same month of last year. Thirty deaths were from diphtheria and 37 from typhoid fever. Of tbe decedents Til were under 1 year and 63 between 1 and 5 years. The names of the two men struck by a freight train at Legionville, on the Fort Wayne road, Tuesday night, were Patrick Carr and Charles Pruett. The former was instantly killed and Pruett seriously injured.

THEYWANTAMAREET Gardeners Object to Hucksters Mo nopolizing the Diamond, AN 0BGAN1ZATI0H OF FIGHTERS Formed to Assert the Farmer's Sight to bell on the Streets. ANXIOUS TO TEST THE MATTER AT 0HCE Another huge kick at the management of tbe Diamond Market has loomed up. Tbe gardeners and frnit growers of tbe county have at last become convinced that tbe home-grown sauerkraut, cheese and old fashioned cow butter isn't getting a "fair shake " in the Pittsburg market, and that the factory-made cabbage, the foreign" S we: tier and loud-odored "oleo" have almost usurped their places. With the aforemen tioned facts in view, the Allegheny County Gardeners and Fruit Growers' Association was formed yesterday. Forty men were present and 40 men were equally convinced that the Pittsburg Mar ket House is not what it is cracked up to be. According to the idea ol those in attendance the market bouse was built many years ago for the convenience of the farmer in market ing his produce and the consumer in getting his green stuff fresh from the fields, but the hucksters have captured the fort and are now in possession. First in order was, of course, a temporary organization, and this was effected by elect ing 'William Morris, of Brunot's Island, chairman; M. C. Dnnlavey, of Scott town ship, secretary; John McKenna, of Green Tree borough, treasurer. In stating the ob jects of tbe meeting, the secretary, Mr. Dnnlavey, said : A STATEMENT OP GRIEVANCES.' " The Pittsburg market was built some years ago, when it was large enough to aconimodate all. The city bas grown and it bas extended all its facilities but its market. "What is wanted now is a whole sale market. The citv conld, if she desired, give yon space. There is no doubt but tbat there is sufficient space now if it were not for tbe hucksters. The question is, was the market bouse built for hucksters or for tbe gardeners. It is certainly in the possession of the former at present. We want to secure counsel to look up the law on this question ; to see what laws there are on the question, and then see what we can do. You have allowed the City Councils to drive you out of tbe market house on to the street, and now you have been driven off the streets. Columbus has a whole sale market, a square where the. farmers can back up their wagons, and the grocers come there to buy the vegetables, etc. That is what is wanted here. Now you want to appoint a committee to look up who hold stands and how many days a wees: theybave tbem rented. See if tbey sub-let them and then find out whether they have that right. The committee should ascertain bow many stalls are occupied by hucksters and what they pay for them; also how many are rented by tbe gardeners and for how much." AN OBOANIZATION PEEFECTED. Under the secretary's suggestion aCommlttee on Market was appointed, composed of John AcLley William Morris and John Houden shield. After another committee was ap pointed to secure a suitable place to hold meet ing the discussion .became general. It was de cided that the name of the organization should be the Allegheny County Gardeners and Fruit Growers' Association and other township asso ciations shonld be organized to co-operate and get in all the gardener&of tbe county. ' John Houdensbield suggested that a com mittee on organization be appointed to organize the gardeners in the different sections into local associations and tben report to the gener al organization. While this suggestion wasn't acted upon, those present yesterday will organ ize the farmers in their sections. It was further suggested tbat all the farmers be asked to join whether tbey market in Pittsburg or not. Mr. Morris said there were a great many farmers who do not come to Pittsburjr on account of tbe inconvenience in tbe markets. Mr. Morris, the President, suggested thatf money was needed to carry out their plans. Counsel will be employed and If any of the farmers are arrested on tbe streets they will make a test case of it and Bee what can be done in tbe matter. This was immediately acted npon by all present signing the agreement to become members, and an assessments 3 each was made. ANXIOUS FOE A TEST CASE. The members of tbe new organization seem rather anxious for a test case. For the past few years they have been marketing their produce from tbe streets and have been paying the market man 60 cents for this privilege every time tbey come to the city. After pay ing this fee, they say they were usually ordered off tbe streets by the proprietor of whatever place of business they happen to be standing in front of. Within the last few days the market master has not collected bis fee, and the gardeners are not allotted to stand on the streets. If tbe waste of land on the river front was cleared oftubbish and fixed up a little it would make an excellent place for a wholesale mar ket, and there is no doubt but that it would be acceptable to the new association. From tbe tone of tbe speeches made at yesterday's meet ing it would be understood that this is just the sort of a place they are looking for. It is cen- trally located as to the groceries and Is easy of access. What is needed is simply aplace that will be handy for the city grocers to go to purchase their market. THREE SCORE AND FIVE. An Unfortunate Old Allegheny Colored Gentleman Passes Away. There died at tbe Allegheny City Home yes terday, an old colored man named Abram Denson, who for the past 30 years has been a familiar figure iu Allegheny. His ailment was that of appoplexy. On tbe 9th of last September, Denson was removed from his late home at 75 Erie street, to the Allegheny General Hospital, but he yearned to be taken to tbe City Home, where he had been many times before and where he leltat home and in ownership in the institu tion. He was removed there on October 1, and never recovered. . Denson was 65 years of age. He never bad auy children and after his wife died some few years aco, he had no known relatives. He was always a devout Methodist and now he rests in a potter's grave. ACTORS DID NOT APPEAR. The Stayton-Wyman Fiasco Had to be Post poned Again. The Btayton-Wyman combination was billed for an entertainment before Commissioner John D. Shafer yesterday afternoon, but aside from the Commissioner and one reporter, Mr. Hughey, one of Wyman's counsel, was the only person present and tbe case again went over. The Commissioner will take bids from cold storage warehouse men for the storing of the papers, ballot boxes, eta. in tbe case unless some progress is made at tbe next meeting, as the material is somewhat inflammable, and besides, Mr. Shafer cannot find room in his safe for anything else. Helped Along on Her Way. Awoman who gave her name as Mrs. Lizzie Jamison, of Blair county, called at the Depart ment of Public Charities yesterday and asked for aid in reaching her'Tiome. She said her husband had deserted her a fevr'years ago, leaving her without means of support for her self and child.. She was forced to go to the county home on account of poverty. .After be ing there for three or four years she came here to enter suit against her husband for desertion and non-support. She was given a ticket to Tyrone by the Department of Public Char ities. Big PUls to Swallow. The State Board of Pharmacy continued its labors yesterday at the Monongahela House examining the papers of tbe applicants for diplomas as pharmacists. Tbe task before tbe members of tbe board is one of considerable magnitude, there being 197 applicants wbose papers have to be examined, and each applicant bas submitted 25 papers. One hundred and forty-three of the applicants are fromPhlla. delphia and 51 from Pittsburg. ' Ice. Canada Ice. For sale by B. Hopwu, Mayville, JN". Y. MR. CARNEGIE'S RETORT. He Delivers a KeenThrast to a Man 'Who Talked Too JIuclu Mr. Andrew Carnegie is not alone becoming famous for speeches delivered upon the roy alty and their prerogatives in England, but is delivering little impromptu speeches here and there, in which be is just as prone to express his mind freely as In the more pretentious ad dresses. One reported of him was given last spring as the Cunard steamer, in which he was a passenger, ncared her port in Eng land. On board was an exceedingly officious clergyman, who was not content in looking after the spiritual welfare of the pas sengers, but Insisted upon caring for them materially also. He was a very verbose man, and made himself generally offensive daring the passage by bis continual expounding of his opinions and theories. In direct contrast was the Captain of tke steamer, a man who seldom spoke, silent and almost taciturn, yet looking oat for the comfort of his passengers in the most commendable manner, and thereby be coming a respected favorite among them in spite of bis exclusiveness. As the ship neared port the self constituted Mikado called a meeting in the cabin for the purpose of drawlne up a set of resolutions thanking tbe Captain for bis many courtesies. At the conclusion or an enthusiastic speech in which he referred to the Captain as the "Napoleon of the sea, the man who never closed his eyes and never opened his mouth" he ap pealed to Mr. Carnegie to suggest anything he might have neglected. Mr. Carnecie, In his characteristic style, re plied that be could suggest nothing that bad not already been mentioned by the gentleman who never closed his mouth nor opened his eyes. WET FULL BEARDS ARE WORK Barbers Arc Not Always the Innocent Creatures They May Seem. It there is one thing more than another that makes men brave and fear nothing, not' even death, it is the barbers, men who are paid tor scraping your face with a fine toothed comb and combing yonr hair with tbe hard side of tbe brush. It really requires a great nerve for a man to sit down In tbe chair while a Btrange barber manipulates the instruments of tor ture. The man who looks like he has a tip ready can get anything he wants and the best in tbe shop, but occasionally you find one who doesn't look that way, then there's weeping and wailing and gnashing of teeth. Said a barber to one of his victims tbe other day: "You say that man over there gave you a bad shave. Why he's one of the best barbers in town. He jnst didn't like your looks, that's all. I suppose you often meet a man you don't like the first time you see him. Well, it's the same way with the barbers, only they have tbe advantage. When a man gets in my chair and I desire to have no use for him, 1 proceed to make bim wish he had been born a girl so he wouldn't have to be shaved. I can give you an excellent shave, as you know, but I can give you a scrape, jnst as easy. A regular customer gets oil all right, but we don't like strangers, unless tbey bave a tip ready. Keep the change, you say? Abl thanks. Always take my chair when you come in and you will be sure of a good shave. Good day, sir. Call again. Next!" HOSPITAL MEETING THURSDAY. The Managers of the West Penn to Come Together on the 10th. The quarterly meeting of the Board of Man agers of the West Penn Hospital, will be held at the hospital building on tbe afternoon of the 16th Inst.' Among other matters to come up will be that relating to the finishing of the new story on tbe hospital, giving the latter con siderably more room to accommodate patients. The new addition will Increase tho capacity of tbe building S3 rooms, part of which will be taken up by a new children's ward. At present there is no regular ward for the tots, eight or ten of whom are in tbe building all tbe time. At the next session of the Legislature the managers of the hospital will ask for two ap propriations. One will be required to pay off tbe debt of $50,000, caused by a loan to tbe in stitution by tbe Pennsylvania Railroad Com pany. Tbe hospital also needs 30,000 next year and the same amount the year following for maintenance. The institution is badly in need of money, as it has few sources of revenue. Ac cording to the reports of the year before last, 77 per cent of the inmates paid absolutely nothing for their maintenance. The cost of the latter Is a fraction orer 93 cents per day per patient. PRISONERS TESTIFY. Members of the Charity Board Find No Fault "With the Penitentiary. Secretary.Biddle, of the State Board of Char ities, rested yesterday in his work of visiting tbe charitable institutions about Pittsburg to. give James B. Scott a chance to help in' enter taining iron and steel delegates. The day be fore they visited the Deaf and Dumb Home, the Homes for Aged Men and Women at Wilkinsburg, and the Western Penitentiary. Mr. Biddle said they happened to be at the penitentiary when Coroner McDowell was there investigating a case of suicide. A number of prisoners were brought up to testify, and the members of tbe board took occasion to ques tion tbem about tbe institution. Mr. Biddle stated tbat none of tbem made any complaints about their treatment, and, so far as tbey could see, tbe board bad no fault to find with the penitentiary, or Warden Wright's manage ment.

DELIMITER GREETED A Large Crowd Eeceives the Senator ' at the Exposition. " HE MADE A VERY SHORT ADDRESS, And Then Left to Speak to His Friends at Bearer Falls. Many Y0TEKS OBJECT TO BRICK PAYING Senator George Wallace Delamater was the chief drawing card, at the Exposition last night, and the crowd was immense. But it seemed rather to be a sight-seeing crowd and every little nook and corner of the great buildings was swarmed with people. Even when the Senator was mak ing his address to the people the art gallery seemed tbe greatest attraction, and there were hundreds who preferred to inspect the machinery and mercantile departments. There was a continual bustle, passing to and fro, coming and going, and the latest arrivals had no difficulty in getting a place to hear the Senator's remarks. However, his address was not long, only about five minutes being taken, up." He began vith a talk of the city's great wealth and pros pects, and continuing, branched off on to the affairs of the State: "The people should take more interest in public affairs," said Mr. Delamater. "They should be independent and not subservient to one man's will." f CONOKATULATED the city. Continuing he aeain spoke of the city and State, and congratulated the city upon tbe fact that it is the most favored in point of location of any in the world. He spoke of the immense exhibition, and stated that it only foreshadows the city of the future. At tbe close of the address three cheers were proposed for the Senator, but were given with only a shadow ot the enthusiasm usually accorded the Republican candidate for Gov ernor of Pennsylvania. This was doubtless due to the fact tbat his audience was composed mainly of ladles and children. The electric fountain next claimed the atten tion of Mr. Delamater, and while en route there he talked to a Dispatch reporter about matters pertaining to his 'canvass. While he appeared tired and worn out, he spoke with confidence of his work thus far and its proba ble results In November. After a few minutes spent in admiring tbe beautiful fountain and its rapid changes, tbe Senator and his party took carriages to tbe Al legheny depot and left for Bearer Falls, where be was booked for an address. At the Expo sition telegraph office he received a message from his Beaver Falls friends urging him not to disappoint tbem as they were very anxious to hear bim. AGAINST BRICK PAVEMENTS. Chief Bigelow, of the Department of Public Works, recently took initiatory steps toward abolishing all brlcK pavements in the city, and tbe action has created no little discussion. Yesterday The Dispatch gave the public a chance to express their views on the advisa bility of such a move by a vote on the follow ing: "Should brick pavements be prohibited In all sections of the city T" The aye vote was in the majority nearly 2 to I, but the character or the vote showed tbat there was not altogether such a unity of thought on the question as might at first be presumed. An unexpected phase of tbe ques tion was introduced by many voting for fire brick. Five men from Boston, Washington, Cumberland, Pittsburg and, Allegheny, re spectively, voted one after the other for fire- DricK. saying mat it wouia ouviate tue trouoie experienced with the common material. It was also noticed that a number of tbe other nay voters were in favor of firebrick. No other negative reason except the matter of cost was mentioned. Some of tbe affirmative reasons were: "It is through them so many people fall and get hurt." "By all means, stay with modern times." "Did the gentleman who wrote 'No,' ever bave a Niagara ot mud fly up bis trousers leg from his pet brick pavement?" "Unless laid so securely as to prevent water spurting up your ''trousers legs." "1 once stepped on a soft brick." "In the eastern part of the city only." ' FOR SLACKWATEK NAVIGATION. Arthur Kirk & Son's Models. Mr. Kirk is kept constantly busy explain ing and demonstrating to the public in gen eral and engineers in particular the merits of these iuventions. The stationary dam is regarded with even more interest than any of the models, and it is declared by those who ought to know to be perfectly feasible; the rest of tbe world takes it on faitb, though it seems to them a wonderfully clear, bright idea that should be adopted at once. Mr. Kirk also exhibits a model of a sec tional, metallic coffer-dam, which he claims Is superior in principle and construction to any other ever made. The section and cor ners are made interchangeable and are so connected and fitted together as to prevent ail leakage, and simply by ralsinjra greater or less number of sections the space enclosed by the coffer may be made larger or smaller. Then, when its use at any particular place bas ceased it can be moved piece by piece and used elsewhere. Both of these styles of dams concern the people about here very nearly, and it is well that tbe visitors should have this oppor tunity to closely investigate and familiarize themselves with these subjects so that when the question of tbeir adoption in this section comes up tbey will be able to express themselves- intelligently in regard to them. These' improvements are very substantial, yet they are simple and eminently service able, while the cheapness of construction is a surprise to all who have learned about the prices. A stream of water amounting to 1.000 gallons per- minute is now being used at the Exposition to show just how the dams are worked, occular demonstration being the most convincing proof possible. J. F. Maeder, 135 Fifth Avenue. The incessant climatic changes in tbe past fortnight are calculated to bring tbe matter of fall and winter suits and the important overcoats right to the front. The clothes from last season have too olten disappointed you, in not looking as it was hoped they would, and new suits mnst be procured, and quickly.
