T FECIAL, TEL-EGKAM TO THE DISPATCH. 1
Detroit, Dec. 18. The Deep "Waterway
Convention, which met here yesterday
momin?, concluded its labors at 11 o'clock
this morninc and adjourned sine die. This
is the fourth inter-State convention which,
during the past 10 or 12 years, has been
otlled together to urge upon Congress the
importance of improving the means of com
munication between the great lakes, and in
ihis subject matter Pittsburg is as vitally
concerned, almost, as any city on the lakes;
More to. in fact, than a number of cities
which tent large delegations to the conven
iion. The prime object stated in the call for
this particular convention was to urge upon
Congress the existing necessity for improv
ing the depth in the Detroit river and
through the St. Clair flats, where it is now
1G feet, to a depth of 21 feet. General O.
3L Poe. the United States Engineer in
charge of this district of the lakes, pre
sented to the convention his estimate of
58.500,000 for accomplishing this important
object
Tlie Demands of the Northwest.
It must be recollected that the Govern
ment has nearly completed its 21 feet con
nection by means of a grand lock and short
canal connecting Lake Superior with Lake
Huron, but that such increased depth will
be of little avail, and particularly so for ore
laden vessels from Lake Superior, unless
the shoals mentioned hive been propor
tionately improved in their navigable
depth. This, therefore, was the cry from
every district represented in the conven
tion from the Northwest above Detroit.
They said, in effect: "Wa know what we
-Tjant. and it is easily stated. "Ve want
simply 21 feet through the Detroit and St
Clair rivers, and that is all we are going to
ask Congress to do, and our request is a mod
est one."
Considering the vast importance of the
lake marine interests, such a request was
agreed upon all sides to be a very modest
and reasonable one, but it by no means gave
satisfaction to the liulialo and Lake Ontario
delegations, particularly that from Oswego,
who insisted that the deep water to the sea.
either lrom Buffalo on Lake Erie or from
Oswego on Lake Ontario, tkould be includ
ed in the recommendations.
Tidewater Connections Indorsed.
There was no doubt about the friendliness
of the entire bodv to the merit of such a
project, but no one was present to explain
an regard to its feasibilitv. However, by
very ureiiuous exertions, the 12 members
from Oswego, backed as tliev were by the
majority ot the large Buffalo delegation,
succeeded in having the proposed tidewater
connection indorsed by the general body,
ard this, too, by a unanimous vote. The
only fear anyone manifested was in regard
to asking for things which Congress might
not give.
Owing to a inisconucction of trains, Pitts
burg's delegate reached the city yesterday
evening, after the adjournment of the con
vention, but at the meeting this morning,
which was ably presided over by cx-Sena-lor
Palmer, Permanent Chairman and also
Director General of the Columbian Exposi
tion, Mr. Itoberts presented the claims of
western Pennsylvania and Eastern Ohio,
embraced in tlie'great Pittsburg iron mann
faetuiing district, to an interest in the lake
navigation, and stated that Pittsburg stood
with reference to the lakes, exactly as Man
chester, England, did with reference to the
sea, and that she, with her millions of tons
of lake products annually received, had de
termined upon being placed more on a par
with Chicago and other ports which now
promise, by reason of the proposed deepen
ing of the lake channels, to receive their
ores more cheaply than ever before.
The Erie Canal Well Thought Ot
The gentleman detailed the action of the
Legislature in its appropriation of SIO.OOO
for the determination ol the feasibilitv of
making a ship canal connection between the
upper Ohio river and Lake Erie, and also
referred to the bill recently introduced in
the United States Senate, asking for a fur
ther appropriation of 10,000 to cover the
expenses of a teeond examination of the
project by the General Government But
while several expressed themselves as favor
able to opening ihe report of the Committee
on Uesolmioiis to admit of Ir. lioberts' pro
paced ajdhion, further action was estopped
tviiea it was seen that the Chicago delegates
proposed aKo to adopt resolutions in regard
to the United States legislation regarding
3ra bridges. While all these propositions
were deemed of high importance, aud were
wonhv of consideration, the convention ad
journed without authorizing a single amend
ment to the leport of the committee.
It i- remarked upon every hand that
never before has so distinguished a body of
men met in behalf of the improvement of
the lahe waterways of the Xorthwest, and
eever.t! members of Congress who took part
a honorary members assured the conven
tion that ' hat the people really demanded
of iheir representatives would be carried
ont bv theiiecessary legislation, and that it
was the oice of the people represented, in
thiv and similar conentions, that they were
most delighted to hear.
Alter adjournment the Lesislative Coin-,
mittec met to devise means to bring the
action of the com ention before Congress.

CHINAEEN GIVE A BANQUET.
They Entertain Thoir American Triendj in
a Most Hospitable Slanncr.
A novel banquet Mas given at the resi
dence of Mrs. Ingram, No. 228 Everson
street, bv Mr. Ye Chin to his numerous
"Mclican" friends. Among the guests
vere Mr. and Mr.. William H. Devore,
.Attorney T. C. Lazear and Colonel Ham
fcriglit, the latter of Lancaster, Pa., in
all about . ladies and jrentlimen.
To hit that the guest were
astonished at the display of Chinese cookery
is to state tne case ccuseratively. The
Chinese entertainer and his friends took
entire charge of tho matter, having gotten
permission of Mrs. Ingram, a zealous
partisan of these strangcis within our gates,
to use her residence for the occasion. Tiiey
furaishel the cook and the waiters, all of
their own nationality. The cook is a
pentlemaa who acquired celebrityainong the
mandarins of hi- own land as a chef. Or what
ever he is styled in the Flowerv Kingdom,
and Mr. Devore states that he never sat
down to a more perfectly appointed banquet
table.
The viands were of the best and served
in the most appioved American style, ex
cept the dessert, which was dis
tinctively Chinese and relished as
v.eil os the rest of the menu.
I5al delicious pics the size of a buggy wheel
were the crowning triumph. ICven the
ladies could not exactly learn how they
were fabricated, but they agreed that they
were iv.mense in the gustatory line. The
spn.ad lasted two hours and was followed
'jy music, toasts and responses in which tho
guests took the principal part. The service
was of Celestial pattern and in keeping
with the character of the entertainment
The various posts of honor among the guests "
were assigned by Mr. Ye Chid, he denomin
ating each in his or her respective capacity
at a "Uos.. The entertainers were as
bounteous as courteous, a cart loud of
viands being left untasted.
IMPOBTIKG A NEW GRASS.
A rorminent nttsburc Banker Tryins to
So'.ys the Lawn Problem.
Robert Arthurs, President of the Fifth
National Bank, has decided to vaccinate the
interstices, borders, etc., along and across
the walks at and about his residence with
Bermuda grass. He has purchased a num
ber of barrels filled with the sod of the Ber
muda, cut in Tennessee, and the experiment
of its culture in this latitude will be tried
the coming spring. In its habitat the grass
is very energetic and roots out other vegeta
tion as effectually as the ox-eyed daisy and
the golden rod do here. If it manifests the
same pernicious activity in this latitude it
will not be a favorite with farmers, butit
will be just what is needed in this smoky
city. where common grasses cannot becoaxetl
to "grow with any measure of health. In
Tennessee the Bermuda grass grows lux
uriantly, and the most intense heat of the
sun neither kills it, nor deprives it of its
color. 2vo amount of mowing discourages
it, making it just the thing for yards and
parks, and contact with it gives an idea of
treading on velvet
It is so enterprising that all that is neces
sary to insure its spread is to plant the sods
at intervals, and soon all the ground to be
beautified will be covered. It is not known,
apparently at least, whether it will stand
our vigorous winters, but there is no doubt
that the snn has no powerto kill it.
ROASTING COLD STBEET CABS.
Alleshcnv Citizens Indignant at the Man
chester tines Neglect to J'arnlsli Heat.
"I wish the Manchester line was in
Florida, or in another certain warm coun
try," said Robert J. Jfycrs, of lower Alle
gheny, yesterday afternoon as he attempted
to pull his hat down over his ears to keep
them warm during the ride from Pittsburg
to his home. "It's an outrage," he con
tinued, "for the company to store
their passengers away like Chi
cago dressed beef in a cold
storage room. "Why don't the officials
get stoves in the cars and at least represent
that thev are human? This is murder,"
continued the indignant citizen, "and the
blood of numberless grip victims will be on
the men who are responsible for not fur
nishing stoves for these cars."
The sentiments of Mr. Myers reached the
ears of a half dozen sufferers, and from all
there came a sincere, though chilly, amen.
Another citizen thought it the duty of
Councils to pass ordinances requiring the
street railway companies to heat their cars
in cold weather. If the people of Pittsburg
and Allegheny had as much determination
as Chicago citizens, he thought, they might
get better accommodations.

WHOLESALE MILLINERY IN ASHES

THE LOSS 0YEB A HUNDRED THOUSAND
The entire holiday stock of Porter &
Doraldson's wholesale millinery store, Xos.
820, 822 and 824 Liberty street, was de
stroyed by fire yesterday afternoon. The
building still stands, though badly damaged
in the upper stories. The entire loss on
stock and building is 5102,000, fully covered
bv insurance. The buildiug is a five-story

brick, extending from Liberty street back
to Strawberry alley.
The fire was discovered a few minutes
after 1 o'clock in the elevator shaft in the
rear. At that time the store was crowded
with holiday purchasers. "Word was spread
quickly that the building was on fire and it
was soon clean of customers and clerks. It
was the elevator boy who discovered the
flames. One of the clerks hurried out,
found an officer and had an alarm sent in.
"When Chief Engineer Humphries arrived
he sent in two more alarms. Xine com
panies were quickly on the scene and found
plenty to do.
Swopt the Upper Floors.
The flames spread rapidly up through the
fourth and fifth stories. Large quantities
of straw goods and notions made fine fuel.
For an hour and a half the blaze kept up
with scarcely any check. The firemen had
poor fighting ground in front, and most of
their effort wfis soon concentrated in the
rear. There they had a better chance, and
from ladders and the roofs of high buildings
across the alley sent half a dozen telling
streams into the hissing mass of millinery.
The flames were kept confined to the two
upper floors, and were gradually soaked
out.
All the stock in the two burning stories
was destroyed by fire. On the three floofs
below not a dry piece ot ribbon or fancy
trimming could be found. Everything was
damaged in the deluge. The stock all
through the building was unusually large
and fine, having just been laid in for the
holidav season. It was worth 5110,000. At
least 590,000 wortli of it is rendered value
less by fire and water. The remainder,
though damaged, is not entirely destroyed.
Of the 5110,000 insurance on the stock,
554,500 is in companies represented by
Ringwalt & Aguew. Mr. Agnew, of that
firm, yesterday furnished the following list.
showing the disposition of insurance on
stock:

D. V. Donaldson, of the millinery firm, has

home this evening.
A noticeable feature of the fire was the
continual bursting of hose. Every few
moments a section w oqld give way, spurt
ing showers or water over the spectators,
and causing considerable delay iu the fire
men's operations. Scores of "people got
soaked to the skin, and in one instance a.
break almost proved serious. Tuo engines
were stationed at Liberty and Xinth streets,
directly in front of the Second National
Bank. Suddenly a hose snapped just about
two feet out from one of the engines.
Knocked Them All Down.
A dozen people on the corner got the full
benefit of the heavy stream and half of
them were knocked down. One man was
thrown oyer against the building and badly
shocked. One of the party was a ladv who
was felled to the pavement, where she lav
with a flood of water pouring over her. She
was finally picked up and carried into a
neighboring house antl cared for.
"While passing along Liberty street Mis3
Moliic McCleave, ot the Southside, got
hemmed in by the crowd and fainted from
fright. She was taken to Bernd's store and
given medical aid. Several nnrrow escapes
were made by firemen from falling glass.
Heavy plates kept dropping from the
upper story windows every Jew minutes.
Firemen Barnes, McCoy and Boles were cut
ragv yL.fcS(v,-; (.liW'vSBmW
about their heads and hands, though not
bad enough to make them unfit for duty.
Hcarly all the firemen got soaked with
water, and some were half stifled with
smoke. Chief Humphries was standing on
Liberty street, after the fire had been
got tinder control, giving orders, when
Assistant Chief Coates leant out from one of
the upper-itorv windows of the burning
building, from "which smoke was pouring,'
and shouted: "Come up here and take a
drink!" As the water was pouring in a
cascade from the windowsills and from Mr.
Coates' hat and shoulders the invitation
raised a roar of laughter.
Objected to Fountain.
The firemen "were not the 'only ones who
got wet, however. A little after 2 o'clock
a hose on Liberty street in front of Ar
buckle's warehouse parted, and before tho
engine, 30 feet away, could be stopped, a
huge fountain had drenched a dozen people
to the skin. One of the men caught in the
watery explosion was a stout, important
person in rather' gorgeous array who had
been informing his neighbors in the crowd
that the fire department didn't know what
it was doing, that he wished he had
chargo of it, and so on. He was almost on

he never spoke again after the water hit

At one time during the fire it was thought
that both the Academy of Music and the

Children, held at the hospital building Dec
cemherlT, 1891, the following minute was
adopted:
The death of our beloved associate and

us with the greatest sorrow. She was one
of the projectors of this charity, was a char

organization served with marked fidelity
on the Board of Managers and on the House
Committee. Much of the success which
has crowned the institution is due to her
faithfulness, and we were constant wit

rsr-EciAi. telegram to the nispATcn.t
New York, Dec. 18. Special telegrams
to Mradstreet'i renew previous reports of a
general slackening up of the movement of
general trade from jobbers and producers,
which appears to include nearly all lines
except thoso of leading cereals. Mild
weather, which continued until within two
days, added a depression to staple lines,
such as clothinsr. hats, shoes, woolen and
cotton goods of Eome varieties which they
probably would not otherwise have ex
perienced. The lower temperature is too
fate to stimulate much increase in the de
mand prior to the new year.
. Woolen goods manufacturers report a
light demand. A few lines are active, but
at prices in buyers' favor. Raw wool is
similarly reported. Staple cottons are quiet
but firm. The output of New England mills
is curtailed as far as possible, so that the
price of raw material does not as yet affect
the prices of good". Agents are holding
new prints. New ginghams are selling only
fairly well. Print cloths are in demand at
an advance and values are firm. Stocks of
prints have been steadily decreasing at Fall
Stiver and Providence, but woolen goods
are selling slowly.
A Bij; Increase of Itailroad Profits.
Leading railroad companies report Octo
ber net earnings aggregating 11.1 per cent
more than in October, 1890. For ten
months of the current calendar year, net
earnings reported show an increase over a
like portion of 1890 of 6.6 per cent. Gross
earnings for October wero 8.3 per cent,
and for ten months only 3.8 per cent larger
than in like portions of 1890. November
and December promise to raise the percent
age of grain.
Anthracite coal has gone offslowly,owing
to mild weather. The increased demand
for pig iron has not attracted so much at
tention as was expected, and no change of
moment is looked for under a month or
two.
Increased conservatism is reported from
leading Southern centers, in exclusively
cotton districts, owing to depression due to
low prices and holding of cotton. Payment
of Government sugar bounties has helped
trade in portions of Louisiana.
Mercantile collections, generally on the
Pacific coast and elsewhere more than ex
pected, have been slower, particularly
South. Money in the South has grown
liehter.
There were 313 failures in the United
States this week, against 380 last week;
370 in the like week of 1890, and 330 in 1889.
There have baen reported 11,933 from Janu
ary 1 to date, or 1,721 more than in a like
period or 1890.
The Great Wheat Movement.
Wheat prices have been barely steady,
with alternating periods of weakness and
declining prices, noticeably on the Pacific
coast, where grain freights are very weak.
Montreal has practically ceased exporting
grain for the v.intcr, and Portland, Me.,
and Halifax are beginning. to ship a little.
Twelve United States ports exported the
equivalent of 5,495,000 bushels of wheat
this week, against 6,033,000 bushels last
week, and as compared with 2,171,000
bushels and 2,872,000 bushels respectively
in like weeks of December, 1890,-and 1889.
The moderate increase of 'domestic avail
able wheat stocks last week is largely due
1 to the blockade at Buffalo, with a resulting
omission of some of the available from the
count.
Exports of rye from United States ports
last week were 597,000 bushels, against
307,000 bushels the week before, and of oats
801,000 bushels, as contrasted with 620,000
bushels in the preceding week.
The improvement in the speculative share
market has been stimulated by the large de
mand for bonds and the increased activity
in that department. The favorable condi
tion of railroad operations and the encour
aging'financial outlook created a decided be
lief in speculative circles that a wider and
higher market is at hand, and though the
trading in stocks is professional, and at
times dull, there have been steady advances
in the Granger and Trunk line shares, with
a corresponding influence on the general
list.
The New York money market continues
in an undisturbed state of ease. Foreign
exchange had advanced on increased in
quiry for remittances to Europe and the
liquidation of foreign loans, but shows
symptoms of receding again.
Dun & Co.'s Weekly Size-Up.
R, G. Dun & Co.'s weekly review of
trade says:
As the end of tho year approaches general
trade slackens, and there is, neihans. not
moro than tho usual disposition to defer
large transactions until after stock taking
and the holidays. It is satisfactory to see
from nearly all points tho reports, which
note the inactivity usual at tills season, also
observe a prevalent nnd strong belief that
tlie business of the coming season will be
unusually large ana profitable. Commer
cial credits and confidence are in satisfac
tory shape for tho transaction of an enorm
ous" business early next year.
The iron trade shows greater strength and

Bradstreet'a Wall Street Review.
Mradstrect's weekly Wall street review
says: Speculation displays no change in cither
temper or action from the conditions which
have prevailed for some weeks. The mar
ket continues to be a narrow one, and pub
lic participation is mainly confined to in
vestment purchases of bonds or tho dividend-paying
stocks.
The distinguishing feature at the moment,
however, is that this class are, with moio
than usual unanimity, either acting upon
tho bull side or are convinced that the de
velopment of a wider and higher market is
only a qitostion of time. Tho fact that rail
road traflio is in excess of the facilities of
many of tho roads, that earnings continuo
to increase, and that one company after
another finds It possible Vi increase the rate
or dividends paid to the shareholders, seems
to leave little doubt in the minds of Wall
street operators that a bull market of the
largest proportions is really at hand. These'
factors are supplemented by tho seeming
fact that gomo of the largest railroad Inter
ests in the country, headed by the Vnnder
bflts, are apparently extending efficient
support to their properties.
The most Important incident of the week
was the restoration of the Rock Island divi
dend rate from Jf per cent quarterly to 1 per
cent. The other Grangers were ail strong.

December the Last Opportnnlry Under tho
'85 Kale There Will Be So Turther
Extension in Time AH Unaer Treat
ment, or Placing Themselves Under
Treatment During December to Be
Treated for 8. a Month Until Cnred.
One thing shonld be clearly and distinctly
stated at this time. Thij is positively and
unequivocally the Jast opportunity under $5
treatment, ration ts who desire to take
treatment under this offer must avail them
selves of it at once. There will bonofnrther
extension in time. Drs. Copeland, Hall and
Bvers hnvo sought to Rivoall an opportunity
ofavailins themselves of this merely nomi
nal into. They havo extpnded the time
three times, and this is the last period in
which the offer holds good. AH patients be
ing under treatment or placing thcmelves
under treatment before Jniinary 1, will be at
tho rate of i5 a month until cured.
The cure of catarrh requires (First). A
patient who has the Judgment, common
sense and patience to place himself nnder a
regular systematic and scientific course, of
treatment, (feccond). A physician who un
derstands the treatment of tho disease, has
special skill, special experience, special ap.
paratus, special remedies and gives special
care and attention to this disease, who Is, in
fact, a gennine specialist. The popular im
pression that catarrh is incnrable comes
from the fact that it has only been within
recent yearn that skillful phvsiclans gave
their whole time and attention to this dis
ease. Catarrh is both a local and constitu
tional disease, requires both local treatment
and constitutional remedies. Patent medi
dines nover did and never will cure it.
MR, SHIPP CANT REMEMBER
WHEN HE BEFORE HAD AS GOOD
HEALTH AS nE HAS NOW.
Drs. Copeland, Hall and'Byers Pnbliih New
Chapters ot Testimony to Their Skill in
Curing Disease Each Week Bead the
Ones Given Below.
"I can't remember the time before when I
have felt as well as I do riptht now," said
James Shipp recently, ilr. Shipp lives at 17
Edna street, of this city. "For eight or ten
years," he continued, "I have been suffering
from a very common disease, and as I have
finally succeeded in sotting cured of it. I
feel good. My disease was catarrh of tho
head nnd throat, wliiclj also affected my
stomach, and arose from a succession of
colds. -
"I was troubled with almost continual,
dull, heavy headaches. Jfy nose was stopped
up and I could plainly feel the mucus drop
ping into my throat from tho back part of
my head. My throat would fill up; I had a
disagreeable cough and spit in order to
clear it.
"Mv ears were assailed with ringing noises
nnd I was very frequently dizzy or light
headed. My appetite was miserable, and
after eating I suffered
From a Feelinc of Weight
and fullness in the stomach, nnd a very bad
taste in my mouth, especially when I would
awaken in the mornings.
"I had heard and read a good deal of the
cures made by Drs. Copeland, Hall and,
Byers, of 06 Sixth avenue, rnd finally called'
and consulted thorn. They understood my
case at once, and I placed myself under
their care. There was no lic-ututlon about
their methods of handling It. They gave
me confidence, because they seemed, to
know exactly what was wrong" and what to
do tomaksit right. I am a well man, In
consequence, to-day. All of the symptoms I
spoke of aro gpne, mid I can't remember tho
time in mv lite before when I relt as well as
I do now."
OUB CUBES AKE PERMANENT.
Read What Mr. PicklnSays a Tear and a
Half After He Was Cured of a Desperate
Case of Catarrh.
"About a year ago the fact that I had oeen
cured of, a severe and aggravated case of
catarrh, complicated hy diarrhea, Dy Dr.
VT. C. Byers, was published In the city news
papers. My trouble nt that time dated back
a couple of years (previous to that time I
had had good health), nnC began with the
common symptoms of catarrh, viz: Con
gestion of the mucus membranes; dull,
heavy feeling over the eyes; would catch
cold easily; pain between the shoulder
blade; a tired feeling in my limbs; n general
Indisposition every morning when I got up;
bad tasto in my mouth; my stomach was
terriDiy aerannea, ana aitogctner i naa a
general feeling of misciableness.
Mr. Thomas Pickin, Bismarck Street, City.
"During the summer months the catarrh
extended to the bowels, and an obstinate
diarrhea set Jn. I could cat scarcaly any
thing, and what little food I did take would
cause me to bleat. 1 would have spells of
dizziness and could not stand. This con
dition or affairs went on until, torn while, I
was able to work only about half of the time
and later not at nil.
"I shall never forget the day Dr. Byers
saw me for the first time. I roitld scarcely
crawl up the steps to his office. 1 was so
emaciated aud weak that he hesitated nhont
treating me, being loath to risk hit reputa
tion cm a case which had been neglected as
long as mine had. Cut, at my earnest solici
tation", lie decided that ho would do the
best ho could for inc.
"At the end of tho first month improve
ment had manifested itself, nml at the end
of the third mouth's treatment I hud gained
all the fleh and strength I had lost, and was
then, and am now (a jctiriuid a half after
beingcureU), as well a man as I ever was in
my lite. I have not lost a day since on tic
count of my health.
"Actuated by a desire to benefit others
as it viits through a similar testimonial I be
came acquainted with the doctor I make
this statement for publication, and my wife
or myself w ill verify it at the above ad
