HIS VICTIWTS GHOST
Sends Chin Hop Fleeing From the
Citj to Escape the Vengeance
of Imaginary Demons.
PERSECUTION OF A COUNTRTMAN
Brings Punishment to a Chinaman, and
ETen His Chickens Conspire to
Disturb His Dreams.
MORE DETAILS IX THE IE TASG CASE.
Serenrt Protests Against the Scheme to Get Him Pat
Ont of the Way.
"While Ye Tang is bowed down under the
humiliating routine of prison life, his ene
mies are not enjoying the delightfully
peaceful existence so dear to them. Con
science and superstition have already played
a master part in punishing his persecutors.
There is a vacant place in a Grant street
shop. One son of Hung is fleeing from the
scene of his wrong-doing in a frantic en
deavor to put distance between himself and
the ghostly reminders of his suffering coun
tryman. Ye Tang is the Chinaman, the story of
whose persecution has been previously told
in Tub Dispatch. By embraeins the
Christian religion and endeavoring to quell
the gaming propensities of his fellon , he
incited a spirit of enmity in them -which
already has resulted seriously for himself.
Additional particulars secured yesterday,
together with those already known, mate
up a drama in Celestial life of decidedly in
teresiing character.
Began to Frosier Quickly.
On August 31 Chin Hop came to Pitts
burg from Canton, O., and opened a
Chinese eating house on Grant street.
It was next door to Ye Ching's
place and the second house from the
St. Nicholas building at Fourth avenue.
He had Chin "Vey, a cousin, as partner, and
business soon began to flourish. It was not
the little restaurant that brought the smile
of prosperity to the faces of the partners;
but rather the proceeds of a well-equipped
lan-tan room in the rear. Just next door,
behind an innocent looking laundry, Ye
Ching had similar apartments. His place
bore the record of having received consider
able attention from the police. One night
after Chin Hop had his business well built
up the police paid another visit to his
neighbor, Ye Ching. A week later a second
raid was made. It was evident the officers
had no knowledge of Chin Hop's place, as
he was not molested.
After the second affair Ye Ching came to
Chin Hon and told him that Ye Tang had
been responsible for the raids, having in-
' formed the police. Chin Hop said he
didn't care, as the police had not been told
of his place. But Ye Ching finally per
Fuaded him that he stood in great danger of
being informed on by Ye Tang, and the only
thing to be done was to get the latter out of
' the way. Chin Hop was frightened and de
termined on a bold move. He decided to
have Ye Tang arrested for false pretense
and to accuse him of lun ing extorted money
from himself and other store-keepers on the
pretense of seenring them police protection.
Objected to Such a Flan.
He told his partner. Chin "VVey. The lat
ter was opposed to such methods, and seeing
, Hop determined in his course, sold out his
share in the concern to Ye How, nephew of
Ye Ching, and left the city. Several pa
trons of the place also protested in vain.
Chin Hon then made information before
Alderman ilcMasters'against Ye Tang on
the charge mentioned above, and the case
went to court. Ye Tang had no monev to
hire an attorney, and his only witness, Chin
AVey, the departed partner, was in parts un
known. Chin Hop 6wore as he had deter
mined, and his victim went to the work
house. It is said his conscience troubled
him. and he tried to avoid appearing against
Ye Tang, but could not stop after be had
made the start.
All went well until last Sundav night
Chin Hop told his friends the next morning
that he was awakened during the night by
a sound at the window. There he beheld
the image of Ye Tang scowling at him
through the glass and holding a revolver in
his hand. "With a scream Chin Hop leaped
from his cot, but the apparition had gone.
The terrorized Chinaman crouched into a
corner of his room trembling. Finally he
fell asleep and dreamed that he saw the
great Joss calling down denunciation on
him for his perfidv. "When the ordeal was
oer his face had almost lost its yellow
hue.
Demons in the Chickens.
Monday night Chin Hop tarried at the
game much longe than usual. "When he
did retire he moved his cot into another
room where he kept a lot of chickens and
geese to supply the needs of his restaurant.
He preferred sleeping among fon Is to hav
ing another mcountcr with the ghost Ho
had just dropped into a doze when some
thing disturbed his feathered roommates.
All the soft words the Chinaman could
utter weieof no avail. The cackle and
squall of the restless fowls became unbear
able. They had never acted so before. Chin
Hop's superstition got the better of
his good judgment, and impressed with
theaniul idea that all the demons of the
Chinese calendar were trying to punish him
for his misdeeds, he ran fromthe house.
Later he returned, took $11 from the trunk
of his partner, Ye How, and with no
earthly possessions but a blanket left the
place foroer. Early Tuesday morning a
fnghtrncd looking Chinaman was seen
boarding a Baltimore and Ohio train. It
was Chin Hop.
Indignation among the" friends of Ye
Tang is growing more intense every dav.
It Chin Hop had not gotten away it is prob
able they would have taken some measures
to bring him and his associates to task. He
has saved them that trouble. Bert C Lee
said last night that he believed Ye Tang en
tirely innocent and that the charges against
him w ere purely ficticious.
BIG ODDS TO 0VEEC0ME.
B. F. Jones Talks on Pittsburg's Chances
for the Convention.
In speaking of Pittsburg's prospects for
securing the next National Republican
Convention, cxOfational Chairman B. F.
Jones said yesterday: "We must show,
first, that we can accommodate the conven
tion: second, that we can care for the dele
gates, alternates, prominent visitors and
sightseers. It has been the custom for
cities desiring these conventions to send
commitfee, composed of their most influen
tial citizens, and among them men who can
briefly place before the National Committee
wheu'it sits to hear these delegations, the
most engaging points in any given city's
claims. Then, when all competitors have
been heard, the committee decides by ballot
where the next convention shall be held.
Chicago, when she goes to present her fair

PAY FOR EXTRA WORK.
Contractors Sue the City for Money Said to
Be Due on the New Patrol Station Ask
Almoit as Much as the Original Con
tract. Three suits were filed yesterday by At
torneys J. a and E. G. Ferguson against
the city of Pittsburg to recover money al
leged to be due for the construction of the
Ko. 4 patrol station on Forbes street, Four
teenth ward. The amounts claimed aggre
gate 519,211 60, though 516,959 has already
been paid. The original cost of the station
wastohae been 519,930, but should the
suits be decided against the city, it would
make the total cost 5o6,l"0 50. The plain
tiffs in the first suit are McGhec & Kies
meyer, contractors, who sue for 517,286 o0.
The other two suits are brought by G. H.
Kiesmeyer, one for $1,700 and the other for
5225.
In the statement of their case McGhee &
Itiesmeyer assert that on May 7, 1890, they
contracted with J. O. Brown, Chief of the
Department of Public Safety, who had
been duly authorized to make such contract,
for the erection of the 2fo. 4 police patrol
station on Forbes street. Fourteenth ward.
The contract price was 519,950. The work
was to be done under the direction of Archi
tect Bickel. During the construction of the
building the plaintiffs were required to do
extra work and furnish material not in the
contract to the amount of 513,295 30. Their
work has now been completed, turned over
to the city and accepted more than 20 days
ago. They have been paid various amounts
at different times, and up to date have re
ceived a total on account of the
contract of 516,959, leaving due at the
commencement of the suit, S17.2S6 50. Their
bill was presented to the proper officer for
payment, but it was refused, and the suit is
now brought to recover the amount.
The other two suits by G. H. Biesmeyer,
for 1,700 and 5225, are for additions to' the
structure contracted for by J. O. Brown,
and constructed under the supervision of
Architect Bickel. The work in one instance
cost 52,700, of which 51,000 was paid on ac
count, leaing 51,700 due. On the other
contract the whole amount, 5225, is still un
paid. In both instances the work was per
formed according to plans and specifications.
Bills were presented to the proper officer
for the amounts due, but payment was re
fused. WIPING OUT THE DEBT.
The Westinghouse Company Once More on
a Sound Financial Footing All Its
Liabilities Will Be Paid by the End or
the Month.
The reorganization committee that has
had the affairs of the "Westinghouse Electric
and Manufacturing Company in hand has
made an entire success of the undertaking.
Yesterday was begun the work of lifting all
paper of the company held by Pittsburg
banks. An approximate of the amount
thus gathered in could not be given by the
officials, but it was stated to be consider
able, and it was further stated that within a
comparatively short time not a dollar of the
electric company's paper will be held by a
Pittsburg bank.
Yesterdav each of the local banks holding
electric paper received the following letter:
I am pleased to bo able to state to you
that all of the arrangements necessary to
clear up the affairs of the electric com
pany, and put tint concern on a sound basis,
have been effected.
Gtor.QE WtSTionousE, Jr., President
Vice President Bannister, of the "West
inghouse Companv, said last evening: "The
Reorganization Committee, composed of
August Belmont &z Co., Lee, Higginson as
Co.. and Bravton Ives, of New York, have
fulfilled their promise to place the "West
inghouse interests in their lormer good con
dition, and we are now in a position to pay
off our indebtedness in pursuance of the
agreement between the banks and our com
pany. Everything is now in a satisfactory
condition." "
Mr. Bannister stated further that it would
be impossible to name the exact date when
all the indebtedness would be naid oft, but
it will be as rapidly as possible, and there
will be comparatively little of it left after
December L He would venture no opinion
as to what had caused the recent drop in
electric stock, saying that was a matter that
did not interest the company. The officials
were satisfied with the present state of
atiairs, and cared nothing about outside
manipulations.
GE0SGE B. LAWBEHCE'S BEMAIH8.
The Body Will Arrive from JfewTork This
Morning, Interment on Saturday.
The body of George B. Lawrence, the
young lawyer who committed suicide at the
Everett House, New York, Tuesday night,
was shipped from there last night.
It will arrive this morning, and the re
mains are to be taken to Monongahela City,
his former home and birthplace, for burial.
The funeral services will take place at the
residence to-morrow at 1 r. M. Interment
private. No new developments have been
made in this sad case, and the suicide's
friends are still surprised at the rash action.
Want Cheap Kates to Wilklnsburg.
The excitement over the fight between
the Duquesne Traction Company and the
Pennsylvania Railroad for it is a fight
practically is getting hotter in "Wilkins
burg. A prominent business man said last
night, as he rode home to "Wilkinsburg in
an electric car: ""We will bring the rail
road to time before we are through. "We
must have a 5-cent fare, and we intend to
have it Reducing the time of making the
trip is all very well, but so long as we can
ride on the electric cars for less than w e
pay on the railroad, so long will we allow
the trains to run along almost empty, as
they have been doing for the last few w eeks.
"What w e demand is a 5-cent fare, and with
out the trouble of bnying monthly tickets,
either. Let the railroad sell 20 tickets for
51, good any time, and it will soon pet all
its enstom back, particularly if it moves its
Union station nearer the heart of the citv."
A Hospital for -Kensington.
A general hospital has been established
at Kensington and will be located in the
large double building on Third avenue,
built and designed specially for hospital
purposes. The resident physician will be
Dr. Paul Luther, of Penn avenue, this city,
who is well known as a successful practi
tioner and ranks high in the membership of
the Allegheny County Medical College. He
will be ably assisted by Mrs. Dr. Clara
Luther, who is a professional nurse, having
had long experience iu European hospitals,
and was the medical attendant in the royal
family in London, England, for 13 years."

COMING TO AMERICA.
A Lace Manufacturer Will Transfer
His Interests Here.
LOOKING TOE A SODTHSIDE SITE
The Tariff Precludes a Profit in the Erport
ing of the Fabric
PITTSBUEG IS TOO SHORT TO SUIT
J. Murray Doelen, a lace manufacturer of
Nottingham, England, was stopping at the
Monongahela House las,t night. His native
city is famous for its manufacture of this
filmy and delicate material, as wf!l as
being the city where the story of Lady
Godiva and Peeping Tom had its origin.
Mr. Doelen is very wealthy,and has given
much time and study to American indus
tries, as well a to watch with interest the
great tariff tight which has just ended in
Ohio, in which the advocate of the protec
tive issue Major McKinley was the win
ner. As a consequence of this success, and
the small show which free trade has in the
future regarding the United States importa
tion of foreign goods, he has determined to
transfer his lace manufactory to the Ameri
can shores.
The gentleman has just come down from
Cleveland, where he has been looking for a
site upon which he can erect a plant. He
is as yet not decided, but intends investi
gating the country more freely before locat
ing permanently. Pittsburg is not suita
ble for the lace business on account of the
smoke and penetrating dust, which would
ruin the cob-webbed texture even before it
had left the loom.
Forced to Come to America,
Speaking of the matter he said:
"The McKinley bill has so hampered the
manufacture of common lace curtains that
it is impossible to send the article to this
country with anv degree of profit for the
amount expended in making it. After a
general observation into many details at
tendant upon the great Enslish industry, I
find it will be absolutely cheaner to turn it
out here for the retail and jobbing trade
than in England. This seems incredible,
because you. people over here think we
have the advantage of cheaper labor. This
in a great measure true, but with
the ingenious devices which have
emanated from the keen mind of
American inventors, the work will be
facilitated without the help of hand labor.
The English, as a rule, are slow and dila
tory in taking kindly to American machin
ery, and much of it now used over there has
been improved upon time and again by the
enterprising people of this country, who
have their eyes and ears open to any inno
vation which will benefit tLeir interests.
"In other words, the European, in gener
al, hesitates to use American machinery of
any character, and, as an instance, there are
still in use the old silk and lace looms of the
pattern in use 200 years ago."
English Capital in the States.
"Do you know," continued Mr. Doelen,
that your iron industry of the States has a
vast amount of English capital invested in
it? Yes, I will venture to say fully one
half of this great manufacture is backed up
by money from the other side. The most
remarkable instance of English sagacity and
forethought is found in Cleveland, where
a nobleman from my country owns the
balance of one of the greatest iron plants in
that community. I have just visited Cleve
land the Forest City I believe they call
it and under the very shadow of the Still
man House this extensive manufactory
dominated by Englishmen existx Money
is cheap and plenty over there,
and don't you think that a Johnny Bull
is as eager to grasp a 'sure thing' as his
American cousin. Perhaps we are not so
daring in speculation, but the song I once
heard, 'It's for money, carries good in
every part of the globe, and especially in
the civilized countries. Large amounts of
French and English capital are quietly
being and have been placed over here, and
there will no doubt be some startling de
velopments in. the manufacturing world on
ihis side of the water before a year or so
rolls around."
Mr. Doelen went to Philadelphia and
other Eastern points last night
AMEBIC ANS TOO HOSPITABLE.
Two Englishmen Compliment Our People
and the Limited Express.
C H. Nugent and G. H. Dunsmure, two'
London members of the great banking es
tablishment known as the Union Discount
Company, were passengers on the limited to
Chicago last night. They are immensely
wealthy, and the company which they rep
resent has a capitalization of 1,500,000, or
57,500,000. The two are partly on business
and equally as much bent on pleasure.
They have been in New York six weeks,
where they were "too hospitably treated,"
as they expressed it.
They have had no time to form an opinion
of America so far, but say it is vastly
different from England. They spoke of the
wretched streets in New York and the
neglect they receive from the Street Com
missioners, and yet they are always repair
ing them. "You cannot walk or fide three
squares," said one, "without running on an
excavation of some sort with huge piles of
stones and dirt to delay traffic;
"This is a magnificent train," pointingup
to the palatial limited. "Nothing compares
with it in England. We have been visiting
several banking institutions which ex
change, and the financial status of American
cities thus far seems prosperous. The Mc
Kinlev bill docs not affect us, as we are out
of that line."
A FIREMAN KILLED.
He Jumps From a Freight Train, and Is
Crushed by Cars.
Passengers on the Fort "Wavne trian from
the "West due here at 6 o'clock were belated
nearly three hours, due to a freight wreck
at Freedom station, which occurred in the
afternoon. An cast-bound freight was run
ning at the rate of 30 miles an hour when
the engine left the track.
Engineer "W. S. Forney stuck to his post,
but Georee Young, the fireman, jumped
The cars piled up on him, and his back was
broken and he was injured internally. He
will die. His home is at Enon, and he is 2(
years old. Passengers from the "West had
to be transferred, but the west-bound track
is clear for travel.
Still Unidentified.
The body of the unknown woman found
in the Monongahela river under the Smith
field street bridge on Sunday morning last
is still at the morgue unidentified. During
the past four days the morgue has been vis
ited by hundreds of people, none of whom
were able to identify the body. Sunday
evening last two men visited the morgue,
and after gazing at the body a Bhort time
one of them said, "I believe that's my
wife," to which the other man responded,
"You're a fool. She don't look anything
like your wife." They then left. The body
will "be buried to-day at the expense of the
county.
Who Knows Thomas .Outran?
Postmaster McKean received a letter yes
terday from Mrs. Kosie Griffin, 1318 F street,
Sacramento, Cal., inquiring for her brother
or the family of Thomas Dugan, a native of
the Count'v Fermagh, Ireland, who was
known ty have been in this city 40 years
ago. The'sister states that there is some
thing coming to Mr. Dugan or his family,
which is in her possession. Mr. Dugan or
his family are directed to write to the ad
dress given above.
VIEWING THE PLANS.
Designs for the Carnegie Fras library
Have Many Admirers Andrew Carne
Eie Pleased With the Exhibit May Be
on Exhibition Three Week".
The exhibition of the Carnegie Free Li
brary designs at the Ferguson building, on
Fourth avenue, yesterday formed an at
traction that drew a large number of vis
itors. At no time was the hall crowded,
but all day long there was a steady attend
ance of persons representing nearly every
class of people in the city. Architects,
builders and contractors were numerous,
and they scanned the drawings with critical
eyes. A few ladies, interested in architect
ure or the free library idea, were among the
spectators. It was the general verdict of
all that the exhibition had few equals in its
line.
A design by W. H. "Wood, of Phila
delphia, was placed on exhibition in a small
room adjoining the main hall yesterday. It
had been delayed through the freight
handlers and lost a position with the other
plans. Nevertheless it is carefully
mounted and arranged and being a beauti
ful design, attracts general attention.
There is some dissatisfaction among
architects about the location of their plans.
They seem to be under the impression that
favoritism was shown in hanging. Jas. B.
Scott anticipated complaint of this kind
and realizing that all could not get the best
positions, he placed the hanging of the de
signs in the hands of a committee of entire
ly disinterested persons. They had in
structions to take the packages in the order
in which they had been received and to be
gin them in that order, beginning at one
end of the room and continuing until all
were in position. Mr. Scott thinks that
under the arrangement one position is really
as good as another.
Under a resolution of the Library Com
mission the architect whose plans are finally
accepted will receive a handsome prize,
while the six competitors whose designs are
considered next best will receive 52,000
each.
The estimates and specifications accom
panying the drawings are not on exhibition
and have not been examined as yet by mem
bers of the commission. Said Chairman
Scott yesterday:
"The commissioners, realizing their re
sponsibility, will take their leisure in form
ing an opinion. It will be a difficult task
to select the best from among so many mer
itorious design". Ve will keep the exhibi
tion open to public inspection for two weeks
from 9 A. 5L to 5 p. ar., or three weeks
if we find a popular demand for it. In
the meantime the members of the commis
sion will familiarize themselves with the
various designs, and in the course of a
month we will probably be in a position to
talk the matter over intelligently. There
will be no haste."
Andrew Carnegie visited the display and
said: "I am delighted with the snecess of
the competition, and congratulate the com
mission upon the result. The position won
bv Pittsburg architects in the competition
pleases me especially. Mr. Frick will tell
you that I became enthusiastic over sev
eral Pittsburg designs. Some of them are
really excellent, and are as original as they
are handsome. I am now sure that Pitts
burg will have buildings of which she will
have many reasons to be proud."
National Indian Association Meeting.
The Allegheny Auxiliary to the "Women's
National Indian Association held its regular
monthly meeting yesterday afternoon. The
only business transacted was to appoint
committees to prepare for the annual meet
ing of the National Association, which
meets in Allegheny next "Wednesday and
Thursday. About seventv-five delegates
will be present. Quite a lengthy programme
has been arranged, consisting of reports of
officers and reading of papers by the different
delegates.

at His Haysville Eesidence
FK0M INJURIES CAUSED BT A FALL.
How He Amassed a Fortune as a Tolaccon
ist in Pittsburg".
THE INDUSTRIES WHICH HE FOUNDED
Henry Dallmeyer, one of Pittsburg's old
and well-known business men, died at his
Haysville station residence, on "Wednes
day evening, from the effects of injuries re
ceived in a fall from a porch roof last Fri
day evening. "When the news of his death
reached the business community yesterday
morning it caused general regret, for Mr.
Dallmeyer had been highly regarded by a
large circle of friends in various branches
of business.
His death was the indirect result of som
nambulism and the circumstances were very
sad. "When he retired last Thursday even
ing Jlr. Dallmeyer was in vigorous health
and good spirits. His wife had gone to
"Wheeling to visit relatives to remain until
next day nnd there was none of the family

Emma. Between 1 and 2 o'clock that night
he arose from bed in his sleep and opening
a window climbed out on the roof of a porch
from which he either walked or fell to the
ground below, a distance of about 20 feet.
"Walked to His Death.
He lay there stunned for some time, hut
finally regained consciousness and made an
outcry which awakened a neighbor, who
gave the alarm. The members of the house
hold came to his assistance, and he was car
ried into the house, where an examination
by physicians showed that while no
bones were broken he had
suffered internal injuries which would prob
ably have a fatal termination. From that
time he suffered intensely, though conscious
most of the time and able to converse intelli
gibly with his family, the members of which
had been summoned and were gathered
about his bedside when he passed away at
8:30 o'clock "Wednesday evening.
Henry Dallmeyer was born at Minden,
Prussia," in 1826. A cigar maker by trade, he
emigrated to this country in 1848 and
followed that occupation for ten years. In
1858 he embarked in the cigar business for
himself, opening a store at No. 535 Liberty
street, foot of Fifth avenue. For more than
30 years he conducted a lucrative business
within three doors of his first venture.
Having amassed a comfortable fortune he
retired from active business on April 1,
1890.

STILL ANOTHER DAY.
The Chrytanthemum Show Continued To
Eay It Is a Success Financially and
Will Be Held Each Tear Bright Pros
pects for the Next Exhibit.
The chrysanthemum show is a success far
beyond the expectations of the florists who
engineered it. This much is gathered both
from the promoters and from the inter
jections and adjectives of the ladies, which
flew as numerously as chaff from arinnow
ing machine. Eobert C. Patterson stated
that the show would be kept open to-day by
request, and that it would be ladies' day.
The receipts have not been figured up, but
they are far beyond expectation, showing
that people in these cities have time and
inclination to think of something aside
frnm enltintr rlnwn the almifhtv dollar.
The projectors say the success of the exhibit
is such as to make the-enterprise a fixed one
and that every year's exhibit will surpass
its predecessor, a. v. omuii, me jii.
"Washington florist, who took so many
prizes, stXtes that last year he began to
grow chrysanthemums without knowing
much about them, and he is confident that
his present exhibit is not a marker to what
he will accomplish in future.
Yesterday murmurs of admiration were
extorted apparently for everything, from a
bride's ljpuquet to William Loewe's vegeta
ble bouquet.
Yesterday's competitors for the various
prizes were:
The Lawrenceville silver cup, forthe best
bridal set, consisting of a bride's bouquet,
two bridesmaids' bouquets and boutonniers
for groom and two groomsmen, A. "W.
Smith, B. A. Elliott & Co. and John K. &
A. Murdoch.
For the George "W. Biggs vase, best vase
of roses, Eobert C. Patterson and B. A.
Elliott & Co.
For Ley & Geiselhart's prize, $20 cash,
for the best funeral -wreath of flowers, 20
inches in diameter, B. A. Elliott & Co.,
John E. & A. Murdoch, N. Patterson and
Eobert C. Pattersen.
For the John Saner prize, 525 cash, best
flat oval basket of chrysanthemums, 20
inches long, A. "W. Smith, E. C. Patterson
and John E. & A. Murdoch
The Lawrenceville cup fell to John E. &
A. Murdoch and the other three prizes were
won by E. C. Patterson.
To-day there is promised a fine show of
orchids and cut flowers.

LOOKING FOR WATER.
Nearly 15,000,000 floshels of Coal Await
ing a Rise Ten "Weeks Since the last
Shipment Was Made Hlrermen Chary
ol Giving Mews.
The undercurrent of excitement prevail
ing at present among the river coal men
resembles the extreme calmness of a
summer day before a storm. That they are
anxious for a rise is evident from the manner
in which the latest up river reports were
eagerly scanned by them all day yesterday.
It is now about 10 weeks since the last
shipment of coal left this port for down
river points, the supply is gradually being
reduced, and in a short time will
be reduced to almost nothing,
A tour of the offices along the wharf was
made yesterday in order to find out iust how
much coal is ready for shipment- "Very lit
tle information could be obtained from the
firms interested as to how much "coal they
had ready, but it is estimateU that there is
from 12,000.000 to 15,000,000 bushels of c al
flow loaded and awaiting shipment, the
major portion of it being in the harbor and
No. 1 pool. All the landings are filled to
the utmost, capacity. One well knon
riverman was asked why the exact
amount each firm had at their
landings is not given when asked for, as
they keep a record of the movements of
their craft similar to records of cars on the
railroads and they certainly know within
a reasonable figure without any guessing
at it.
He said there are several reasons, but the
main one is this: "When the river has been'
low for a longer period than usual
the stock in the lower markets
naturally becomes low, and in conse
quence the prices go up. That is
what the coal men like to see,
but some enterprising newspaper pub
lishes an item to the effect that there
is a large supply of coal awaiting shipment
just as soon as the river rises, the lower
river papers copy the item, and consumers
consequently only make smalL purchases,
thinking that there will be a rise .shortly
and the market be stocked, an 4 thus save
the monev. Another cry is that there is
danger ofa coal famine," and that it is re
tailing at 20 cents per bushel in Cincinnati.
That is not correct, the present price on the
river is 10 cents."
One subject that is attracting consider
able attention among river men is the ship
ping of coal to Cuba and Brazil. An in
vestigation by a well-known firm has con
vinced them that coal can be sent to points
in South America and along the gulf and
be disposed of at large profits. An investi
gation of the various methods of transpor
tation has developed the fact that the whale
back tvpe of vessel furnishes the best facili
ties. The ordinary whaleback will carry
about 4,000 tons' of coal, which will have to
be transported to New Orleans in the old
way, and there transferred by the modern
appliances at a cost not exceeding .10 or 12
cents. A curious thing about the investiga
tion was that it developed the fact that the
ship building firm of Hollingsworth Bros.,
of Wilmington, hold letters patent issued
ten years ago to their father on a vessel the
exact counterpart of the McDougall whale
back, and as there is a possibility of litiga
tion as to the ownership nothing will be
done for the present,
SHOT THB0UGH THE HEAD.
Engineer Howard Roberts Ends His life
"With a Fistol Ball.
Howard Eoberts, a well-known civil en
gineer.suicided by shooting himself through
the head with a revolver, in his room at a
hotel in Smithfield, Fayette county, on
"Wednesday afternoon. The shot had been
heard by other people in the house, and
when they rushed to the room the young
man was lying on bis bed unconscious. He
died a few hours later.
Eoberts was 28 years of age and was the
engineer in charge of the Baltimore and
Chib Eailroad extension from Uniontown to
Morgafitown, under Chief Engineer P- H.
Irwin. Before firing the fatal shot he wrote
a letter to Mr. Irwin saying he was tireiof
life. A telegram received a short time
before greatly excited mm and. is thought
to have had something to do with his self
destruction. He was formerly from Baltimore and is"
thought to have relatives in this city, though
none could be found last night. He was
employed by Frick & Co., in the coke
regions; where is popularly known, prior to
his employment by the Baltimore and Ohio
Company.
