(a) The orly move to win. Black threatens
to attack (J Ki 4, one of the limits of the ad
verse power.
(b) Foiced, as white itfnst be able to play to
Kt 3 or B 3. By this forced more he loses
the power to defend the limits on the

have defended these limits but not those on
the queen' side.
IL
If white lias the move he can derend Lis
limits on both sides of the pawn and draw. The
white kins; must be kept on the same tile as the

(a) Played, says Mr. Blackbnrne. with tne
object of takiu; white out of the beaten track,
1 to Q, 4 is the usual more. White, however,
eti the better gauie, een then.
(b) -The gamo was now Iot. and this was
done in desperation," says Mr. Blackburne,
Never continue a lost came on 'he supposition
that your opponent will make a blunder. To
d.i so is to make the game a bore.

Criticisms from the Times-Democrat
Ti will be remembered that this was the prize
piohlem for solution at the late meeting of the
State As.-ociation in this city.
"The kej is good, as it seems almost imprac
ticable to allow the black K four nisht squares.
The second mores are rather easj, but the
mates in the main play are interesting, and the
one by3 Kt to li 7 ideally pure. All the nieces are
actire aud there are no duals." IL Ernst. "A
fine kc the Q, seems to take up the worst po
sition on tlie l.oaril and elciratit variations, es
pecially 1 K to Q, 5; 2 Q. to Kt 4 (ch), K to K
4;3KttotJ,7' which is superb" Clitus. "A
problem gem. After 1 Q, to R 5. White's
q met 2 Q to i u 7 tickles the fancy." John R.
Skelton. "A real ioucb customer' to ueal
with. It took me nearly an hour to solve it,
and moring the pieces at thaV F. J. Dru-
llhet. -Very fine and especUJy difficult."
Eug. D. L-wis. ' A brilliant puzzler. One and
a halt hour'- work exhausted the nianv prom
ising trie-.' and revealed the mates on the
lower half of the board, and a. subsequent
three-quarter's strnccle gave me the key and
all the rariations." SI. D. McGrath.

We had a postal from Kr. r M. Stearns stat
mc that Mr. Sberrow had .t him problem 41
as a black win. but discovored it would only
draw. So he wrote to Mr. Stearns not to pub

had the same experience with .Mr. Sherrow.

had cono to press, we heard from bim not to

End Game between Tjson and Brown for
Championship of Pennsylrania.
White 12. 20: kinps, 10, 14.
Black-S; kings, 11. 13. 21.
Black to move aud win.
Mr. Brown in sending the game to the Turf
in dispute gives the above position, as one in
which black has no advantage.. But the
leferee claimed they bad a winning position,
and that the rule 19, did not apply to a winning
position. The draught's editor of Tur thinks
that Mr. Brown's claim should hare been list
ened to. Mr. Brown, in sending the game to
Mr. Dunlap only sends 12 more mores than the
referee, civinir 84 in all, and for the balance
fives a few vague statements about a great
number of mores. In the Freeman-Barker
match, thirteenth game, the same position
came up, and we were told by an eye witness
that Mr. Freeman tried over an hour to get an
exchange with the troublesome kings and it
took five hours and seven minutes to play the
ramc, and we have 150 moves given. But Mr.
Barker never once hinted at the move count
business.
Mr. Brown has only proven, that he Las no
claim to the championship of onr great State;
in his explanation to A. J. Dunlap be claims
tbat black has no advantage, and in the next
sentence. :i few more moves he. Tjson. finally
won. That is all the proof we wanted, that
Tyson won the game. It does not matter if it
was done in 20 mores or 500, so the game was
won. There is no limit to the number of
moves that a game should be played in. Wo
will give to any of our readers a
"Dunne's Guide," to show us a sound
draw to the above position, and we will for the
best solution gire a copy of "International
Match Games, England vs. Scotland;" and a
"Reed and Barker Match Games" for second
best solution, and a copy of "BelaSLO's
Guide'' for every solution showing a sound
black win. But we cannot afford to gire any
of the abore works on the game to solutions

WORLD'S CHAMPIONSHIP DISPUTE.
In our last issue we gave our readers Heed's
side and what Mr. Hefter had to say in bis be
half. We give the following, which goes to
show that there are two sides to every question:
Mr. John IUingworth, of Spnngwood, New
South Wales, whose guest Mr.Wyliie had been
for a while, writes to the .dujira'naiaii "tha
Mr. Hcfter's remarks hare caused Mr.Wyliie a
great deal of annoyance. Mr. Wyllie's intention
was to go to Sau Francisco by the steamer an
nounced to leave Sydney on February 18. He
would then bare arrived in America on March
14, in amplo time to begi.i the match before the
end of April, 'and not in Juno or July, as Mr.
lierter states.' Mr. Wyllle is also rery indig
nant with Mr, He'ters having announced that
it was very doubtful whether Mr. Rred would
play a match with him at all or not. He regards
this remark as quite uncalled for. because no
time was mentioned for the Reed-WylHe
match. He has consequently made up his
miud to abandon the idea of returning to Scot
land via America, and to go via London, call
ing on bis way both at Melbourne and at Ade
laide. Meanwhile he is to pay a visit to Snring
wood on February 7; and he has made an
engagement to play at the Bega Draughts
Club on February 14.
The following is from the leading checker
column in Great Britain. The Glasgow Herald,
commenting onWyllie's letter to the TurJ: We
think Mr. Wyllle is perfectly right in notrisk
inc a voyage to the United States on a mere
chance of a match taking place after his ar
rival. He has, however, in an unmistakable
way, shown his willingness to play the best in
America by leaving bis deposit at the service
ot anyone willing to meet bim during the next
six months; but were he once home again in
Scotland, it will be the advice of his triends, as
it most emphatically is ours, to leave younger
knight-err.mts to come here and play him.
The veteran has twice already visited the
United States, and should an American player,
or any other, desire to meet him for the
world's championship, it would only be fitting
they should come to this country.
CHECKER GOSSIP.
According to accounts received from Boston,
Mr. McLaughlin, associate checker editor ot
Westbrook Chronicle, is getting whaled.
We wonld liko to hear from the Sixth ward
players as to the tourney, as some of our cor
respondents will offer some prizes to the con
testants. At 96 Seventh avenue there is a match of 50
games in progress between Mr. Davids and
Mr. Hardy, two warriors and rivals for
championship honors. It is more amusing
than instructive to watch tho play. Mr.
Davids generally takes the lead when all is
quietness, but if be makes a siiu and Air.
Hardy gets the winning position, Mr. Hardy
then commences to laugh. It is no ordinary
laugh, but one tbat is so contagious tbat before
he is done be has all the Dlayers laugbing with
bim. This so UDSets Mr. Davids tbat slips are
numerous, and Hardy is Kept on with his
laugh for hours, reminding us of Longfellow's
"Evangeline."
"In friendly contention the old men
Laughed at each lucky hit, or unsuccessful
maneuver.
Laughed wbeu a mau was crowned, or a breach
was made m the king row."
Mr. Joseph Maize, our analyst, when at Al
toona, played wnb all the leading players. His
score with Brown was three wins each, the rest
drawn; with Cassidr two each, the rest drawn,
and so with the others. Onr friend is an enigma;
the strong he plays even, the weak the
same; and this makes some very ordinary play
ers have the presumntion to say they can hold
him even. It is a good thing to hare a good
opinion of ourselves, and our ability as players;
but in a match with the McDonald expert we
feel sure we would cet badly left.

WHERE HEEC'S BODY LIE&
A Discovery That lias Historic but No Other
Importance. ,
"While the hot-blooded Americans are
making grave subjects of some of the natives
of Italy in this country, who will' be buried
far from home and in such a place that it
will be difficult to locate them hereafter, it
is timely to announce the finding of the last
resting place of an ancient and worthy pre
decessor Nero. Pincij-n Hill, several
miles from the old city of Rome, has the
honor; a fact which has been definitely de
termined by the finding of a stone with an
inscription fixing the location of Phaon's
villa, where the cruel tyrant committed sui
cide. It may be of great interest to archteologists
that these little details be settled, but of
what value to the human race the finding of
Nero's grave may be is not known. No one
knows of any virtues possessed by him lor
which he should be honored, and as for relics
of his reign they are made up of piles of
charred ruius scattered here and there
throughout the province and haunted by the
ghosts of his murdered mother, wives and
concubines. We know too much of his his
tory, and as for his bones or burial place,
the sooner they are lost to sight and knowl
edge the better.

IRON TKADE REYIEW.
So
Very Promising Developments
Have Yet Been Discovered.
THE SHUTDOWN HAS K0 EFFECT.
Southern Manufacturers Do Not Anticipate
an Early Advance,
KEPOETS FROM 11IB LEADING CENTERS
There are no new developments in the
iron and steel situation the past week, cer
tainly none that promise better things.
Trade is not up to what it usually is at this
time of the year. The situation is favorable
to the buyer of raw iron and Bessemer, and
inside quotations are a fair index to mar
kets. In spite of the shutdown of the
Mahoning and Shenaugo "Valley furnaces
and troubles in the coke regions the general
drift of markets is toward a lower level.
Said a leading iron broker yesterday: "Mar
kets are very fl.it for the time of the year."
In ordinary seasons trade begins to improre
before tnis time, but still it remains stagnant.
Since the money pressure last fall there has
been a disposition on the part of manufactur
ers to go slow. Few new enterprises are pro
jected. Banks are exceedingly cautious in let
ting out money, and the effect is felt all along
the lino of iron and steel products. The steel
rail trade is by 110 means rosy. No better
proof ot this could be furnished than by the
lact that the Edgar Thomson Works, which,
after a month's hard work with all avail
able bands pressed into service to improre and
enlarge thc'rail mill, after being made ready
for work has shut down for an unknown
Deriod. It was on the card that the rail mill
would Btart up last Monday, and all things'
wero ready. Besides the stoppage of the mm
the furnaces at Braddock are for the present
running slow, there being no inducement to
turn out large quantities. The time is here
when, according to precedent, nails should
more freely. The movement, however, is slow.
'J he same is true ot all manufactured iron
products.
Following are rates as given by iron brokers:
Strnctural Iron Ancles, 2.05c: tees,2.70c: beams
and channels. 3.10c: sheared bridge plates, steel,
2. 40c; universal mill plates, iron, 2,10c; refined

N1HETEEN FUENACES
Uave Now Fully Resumed Operation in
tho Birmingham District.
rsrrciAL telegram to thk .dispatch.!
Birmingham. Ala., March 17. Two fur
naces in the Birmingham district blew in this
week, one at Oxmoor and tne other at Besse
mer, both belonging to the DeBardeleben Coal
and Iron Company. This makes 19 furnaces in
blast in this district and 27 in the State out of a
total of 53. The furnaces in operation, how
ever, represent nearly two-thirds of the total
capacity.
The operators do not now anticipate so
strongly any early advance over present prices.
The opinion is quite general that the market is
at tho highest point it can reach lrom the de
creased production, and f urnacemen are sell
ing accordingly. No difficulty is being ex
perienced in placing the output by slightly
shading ths following quotations, f. o, b. at the
furnace:
No. 1 fonndrv $12 7i to 11 00
No. 21oundry 12 00 to 12 25
No. gfoundry 11 50 to 11 75
(ire j-forge 11 09 to 11 .10
Furnacemen express themselves as entirely
confident of the situation so far as the railroads
are concerned, being assured that Southern
roads will inoet any reductions by the trunk
lines North tbat would Impair the Southern
market.
Well grounded reports are published In the
local papers that the Thomases will add a third
stack jo their plant and the Vanderbilt com
pany will duplicate its present single furnace.
Outside the Birmingham district there is no
Immediate prospect that anr of tho idle fur
naces will go Into operation. Four of the large
furnaces at Sheffield are awaiting a general
change in the management of the land com
pany at the April meeting of the stockholders,
when a syndicate wilh Enoch Easier and E.
W.Cole at its head, will take control. The
Anniston furnaces are more or less inrolred in
litigation.
The coil output is increasing, though op
erators still experience difficulty in disnosing
of their product because of the number of
large contracts captured by Pittsburg during
the late strike.
A HOPEFUL FEELINO.
Large Railroads Expected to Improve the
Market at St. Louis.
ISPICIAL TELXOr-AM TO THE DISPATCH,-,
St. Louis, March 27. Rogers, Brown fc
Meacbam say: There has been practically no
change in this market since last week, pur
chases and inquiries continuing at about the
same scale at unchanged figures. Most of the
foundries are running, but report business
much lighter than this time last year. The
railroads are now placing some orders for cars,
and we think this will improve the situation in
this territory. We quote for cash, f. o. b. St.

A LAEGE FALLING OFF.
The Volume of Chicago Business Will Be
Smaller This Year.
rSPXCTAI. TXLKOHAM TO TUB DISPATCH."
Chicago, Marcli 27. Rogers, Browu and
Mervin say: The Chicago market continues
quiet, the business going being mainly confined
to car lots. Consumption is running light in
nearly all kinds of work, foundries and machine
shops reporting that a much smaller volume of
business exists than during last year. Prices
on coke brands remain stationary, and there is
little desire on the part of furnace companies
or their agents to press sales.
Lake Superior charcoal irons continue at un
changed figures, and In but very small demand, .
The outlook, both for prices and consumption
of pig metal, is full of uncertainty. It, is gen
erally conceded that a mnch smaller volume of
business will be done this year than last.
SIGNS OF HIGHER BIVEES.
A Rise at Headwaters Promises a Good
Coal-Doat Stage Soon.
The Scotia left at 6 o'clock for Cincinnati,
last evening.
The II. K. Bedford left at noon yesterday for
Parkcrsburg.
The Congo arrived last evening from Cin
cinnati, and will leavo for the same port at 4
o'clock this atteruoon.
The M. F. Allen arrived from Wheeling last
erening and will leave for Parkersburg at noon
to-day on her regular weekly trip.
G. W. C. Johnston-, of James A. Henderson
6 Co., is laid up with an attack of grip. He
was reported slightly better yesterday.
The marks on the Monongahela wharf show
7 feet 4 inches. The indications are that there
will be a good coal-boat stage if the rain con
tinues. There was a slight rise reported at
headwaters last erening.
The surrey for the Bearer dam has been'
completed. It will, no doubt, be located oppo
site the Bearer County Poor Farm, Delow Rac
coon creek. This location meets the approval
of all rlrermen. They think it is lust the place
for it.

THE BTJHDAy DIXINEB.
Eggs Lower and Vegetables aud Fruits Are
Unchanged.
The feature of the week in the line of mar
ket basket filling has beeq,the sharp decline in
eggs. Last Saturday 30fWr dozen was the rul
ing retail price, while now they are little above
20c per dozen. At the Diamond Market fruit
and vegetable stalls a fair week's trade is re
ported with prices practically the same as they
were last Saturday. New vegetables are com
ing in more freely from the South, but there
has keen no material change in prices.
The choicest celery, rhubarb and asparagus
are on the stalls. Strawoerries are iu fair sup
ply, but demand is light.
Florists and dealers in ocean products are
reaping their richest harvest this closing week
of Lent. Said one of onr leading florists:
"Volume of trade in our line has broken all
precedents. We made extra preparations to
meet demand for Easter flowers, but our prepa
rations were none too great. Erery year the
demand for Easter flowers grows, and, though
prices are advanced, our products are all ab
sorbed. This has been the best week in our
line we bare known, and still there's more to
come. The flowers for this Easter were never
surpassed in beauty and fragrrnce."
At tlie fish stalls a great scarcity of cod and
haddock was reported. Small salmon are not
to be had for love or money. Only herring are
in good supiil'. The season for frozen fish is
now orer and, owing to ice in the lakes, the
catch or fresh fish has been so far inadequate
to demand. Retail prices of fish are unchanged,
though prices are higher at sources of supply.
Following are latest retail prices of market
basket filling:

FAMOUS GROUND TO CHANGE HANDS
A Transaction on Wylie Avenue Tbat Ele
vates the Standard of Value.
THE KEAL ESTATE AUCTION BOARD
A member of the hotel syndicate returned
from New York yesterday, where he had
been on business connected with the project.
He said financial negotiations were proceed
ing favorably, and that the 'bnly serious
tronble was in regard to a site. Two have
been under consideration for some time, bat
they are held so high that it is likely they
will be abandoned and new ones looked up.
He intimated that they bad received an offer
of a property not a great distance from tho
new postoffice tbat might be accepted.
Wylie Avenue Figures.
Mr. John S. Shaffer recently sold the vacant
lot on the northwest corner of Wylie avenue
and Wooster street, fronting 23 feet on the
former and 110 on the latter, for J3.000. or about
S150 a foot trout. This is believed to be the
highest price ever paid for ground in tbat
neighborhood.
Will Soon Change Ownership.
The Gartside property at Bon Venue, for
merly Millrale, consisting of between fire and
six acres of land and four good frame bouses, is
about changing ownership through the firm of
Black A Balrd. the prospective purchaser being
a well-known capitalist, who will either im
prore or subdivide. The price his not been
dirulzed, but it will approximate $3,500 an
acre, tbat figure having been paid not long ago
for a tract of several acres in the immediate
vicinity. This property possesses considerable
historic interest. It was here tbat tho first
woolen mill erected in Western Pennsylrania
was located. It was operated by water power
furnished by the creek then a considerable
stream lately put underground by Evan Jones
and since known as the Thirty-third street
sewer. On adjoining property, just abore, was
erected the first iron mill operated in this
vicinity. It was also the scene of the cele
brated Junction Railroad fight about ten years
ago. The situatiun is pic.uresauo and admira
ably adapted to residence purposes, and im
provements will be of such a nature as to make
it one of the handsomest spots in that part of
the city.
Getting Ready for Action.
Arrangements are almost perfected for the
opening of the Real Estate Auction Board.
Notifications will be sent out to members early
next week. There is likely to be quite a scram
ble among owners for the honor of being nrst
on the sales list. Applications will bo filed in
the order in which they are received. The date
for the first auction has not been fixed, but it
will be eaily in April.
Good Demand for Dwellings.
There are so many good residence streets in
the two cities that no one of them seems to have
much advantage over the others. Howard
street, Allegheny, is making a name for itself
in this respect. Ten dwellings located on that
thoroughfare hare changed ownership within
a month. Several houses are under contract
for erection this season. Vacant lots are held
at from $100 to S125 a foot front. Choice loca
tions command still better figures.
Local Stock Gossip.
There was very little stock talk among brok
eis yesterday. Most of them closed their of
fices early and went home. Nothing new is
likely to occur in the Westinghouse properties
before the 20th. There is nothing to positively
indicate what the outcome will be, except the
pacific attitude of creditors. That 'they are
easy is accepted as a good sign. Switch and
Signal affairs are being straightened out, and
there will be no receivership. This opinion
was expressed by a large stockholder yester
day. Movements in Realty.

Country T-roduco Jobbing Prices.
For tbe first time in tbe past two weeks the
supply of eggs is in excess of demand, and
markets are weak at 20c per dozen. Last Fri
day they were active at 28c per dozen. There
is no excess of good creamery butter in the
hands of our jobbers and prices are steady.
Potatoes are still firm, and good stock readily
brings outside auotations. There is a very
active demand for seed potatoes and onion
sets. Tbe latter are higher than usual for this
time of the year. Dressed poultry is scarce
