WHO WILL NOTIFY EVERYONE IN TIMK
The first collection of money under the
cnratUe act will begin in a few days. Gity
Treasurer Denniston yesterday received his
first batch ot -viewers' reports from Pro
lhonotaryBradley,showing the amount tobe
paid by each property owner lor grading,
pavin-; and curbing or sewer improvements
on 21 streets. The amounts altogether foot
up o er J130.000. In all there are about 100
streets, on which nearly ?2,000,000 is to be
collected.
These are the improvements made under
the acts of 18S7 and 1889. "When the Supreme
Court decided the acts unconstitutional,
there was no law under which the city could
collect the money lrom benefited property
owners. The curative act was passed by the
lat Legislature to remedy this trouble, but
even then the city officials did not think
proper to attempt collections till the act
had been declared constitutional by the
highest court of the State. This has now
been done and the city has power to collect
the money io pay the contractors.

Under the provisions of the curative act
it was necessary o have new boards of
viewers go over the improvements, esti
mating the damages and assessments for
each property owner. The boards have been
at work several months and have completed
most ot the streets. Their report on each
street must be approved by court and held
20 days tor any protests that may be made,
before the City Treasurer can collect the
money. Reports on 15 more streets w ill be in
the hands of the Treasurer to-day and by the
latter part of next week they will all be
there except those in which there are con
tests. "We will not be ready to receive the
money for several days," said City Treas
urer Denniston yesterday. "All these
cases have to be transferred to our books
before we will be ready for payments. "We
will send out notices to property owners
when we are ready lor them, and until such
notices are receied I hope nobody will
send the money. There will be 30 days in
which to pay. "after the notices are "sent

MEETING OF FEEIGHT AGENTS.
Union Line Men Male Suggestions Abont
Handling Traffic.
The annual convention of the Union Line
freight agents was held at the Monongahela
House yesterday. About CO representatives
ere present The last meeting was held in
Cincinnati two years ago, but the present
gathering is the largest number of agents
ev er brought together. It is the first time
that the freight hustlers of the Pennsylva
nia system East and 'West have met, and
the object is to learn to know each other
better, compare notes and hear suggestions
about improved methods of handling
through traffic. The Union Line used
to be a separate organization that
built cark and rented them
out at certain rates, but a few years ago the
company was absorbed by the Pennsylvania
road, and now it is a bureau of the great
trunk line system. The agents came from
various cities in the territory between
Omaha and Kansas City in the "West and
Xcw York in the East "After hearing nu
merous suggestions at the meeting yesterday
a committee was appointed to draw up a set
of resolutions embodying the ideas ot the
freight agents.
E. A. Dawson, the Chicago agent, was
one of the leading spirits on the committee.
The resolutions have been prepared, and
will be presented at the meeting this morn
ing. Jlr. Dawson said there was nothintr
in them that would interest shippers. He
added that the Pennsylvania people like
to get their men together every once in
-....,,, .i.t i,j ougcuuuB mej may

like to know what the employes are think
ing about
Lawrence Hardtel' Body Unclaimed.
The body of Lawrence Hardtel, the South
sider who was found dead in an outhouse at
the boarding house of Mrs. Deakin, No. 28
Eleventh street, is still at Semmelrock
Brothers' morgue, and has not been claimed
by anyone. He boarded with Mrs. Deakin
over 17 years, but she declines to look after
the interment A stepbrother and step
sister called at the morgne yesterday, but
they did not leave any orders as to the final
disposition of the bodv. Hardtel was em
ployed in Oliver & Phillips' mill for the
past 20 years, but his fellow workmen know
little about him. It is thought a subscrip
tion will be taken up to give him a respect
able burial in case no one claims the remains.

Tbe'Boird of Assessors 'Re-rUei the Second
Ward Valuations Redactions Made Are
SllCht The Board Claims the Figures
Are Below Cash Values.
The Board of Assessors finished the re-"
vision of the Second ward taxable valua
tions yesterday. "While the cut has been
pretty general through the ward, the reduc
tions made are slight compared with the
figures presented by appellants as the cash
valuation.
In support of their figures the assessors
point to the sale of the Freehold Bank
property as showing that if any mistake
has been made it has been in undervalua
tion. That property was sold for?3,166 per
front foot. It was assessed at $2,200, but in
response to numerous appeals the valua
tions on both sides ol Smithfield street, be
tween Fourth avenue and Diamond street,
have been reduced to J2.000 per front toot.
The other reductions made were as follows:
On Wood street, between Water street and
First avenue. 60-foot depths have been cut
from $900 to tO0 per front foot; from Second
to Third avenuc,GO-foot depths are cnt from
$1,200 to $1,103. S8-foot depths lrom $1,100 to
$1,3(0, and J50 foot depths lrom $2,200 to $2,000
per iront foot.
On Smithfield street, from Water street
to First avenne. west side, 181-foot depths,
are tut to $2,000 from $2,315, 90-root dopths
$1,300 from $1,150, and 70-foot dopths $1,200
from $1,100 per front foot. Between First
and Second avenues, east side, 60 foot depths
are reduced fiom $1150 to $1,300. 81-foot
depths from $1,540 to $1,410; on thb west side,
43 loot depths aro reduced from $1,300 to
$1,200, GG-foot depths from $1,150 to $1,40J.
On Water street, between Wood and
Smithfield streets, through depths are re
duced from $1,200 to $900 and 90-foot depths
from $810 to $650.
On the south side of Third avenue, be
tween Smithfield street and Cherry alley,
90-foot depths are reduced fiom $1,500 to
$1,200.
Appeals From County Valuations.
The County Commissioners yesterday
heard appeals from the assessments in the
Thirteenth ward, Pittsburg, the Eighth and
Thirteenth wards, Allegheny, and Elizabeth
township. The greatest number of appeals
were from the Thirteenth ward, Pittsburg,
where quite an increase had been made.
But few appeals were made from the other
districts. In the Thirteenth ward, Pitts
burg, the Assessors' increase was 71 9-10
per cent The Commissioners added noth
ing. In the Eighth ward, Allegheny, the
assessors added 9-10 per cent and the re
turns were O K'd. In the Thirteenth ward,
Allegheny, the assessors increase was 7 per
cent and the Commissioners added 110 per
cent. In Elizabeth township the assessors'
raise was 11 1-5 per cent and the Commis
sianers added 30 per cent.
A RIVER FULL OF ICE.
The Situation at Parker and Other Points
Alone the Allegheny Is Serlons A Great
Ice Gorge That Hai Little Sign of Break
ing An Appeal to Plttsbnrs.
Beports from Parker, Pa,, state that the
white field of snow and ice remains ap
parently dormant in its Allegheny bed. The
backwater is insufficient to raise the
cemented ice. At Emlenton the river is
clear and ice flowing, and at Foxburg the
river is also clear. The gorge extends a
short distance above the island opposite the
Clarion river, and from that point to East
Brady there is but little open space.
The river became gorged Saturday last
and remained so until Monday forenoon,
when the heavy rains raised the ice and
conveyed it below. Instead of its coming
down to the Ohio it piled up at TJpper Hill
ville and the wall of frozen aqua in that
vicinity is over 20 feet high. The river has
been gorged in that neighborhood for weeks
and the broken ice that has accumulated
has wedged itself into a solid jrhole. Tues
day morning the river was again gorged for
miles below and extending about one mile
above Parker. Several times the back
water pressed further down the stream,
each time jamming the mass tighter and
tighter until the backwater was unable to
raise it- The ice has not moved since Tues
day 'afternoon. The severe cold winds of
Tuesday and freezing night checked the in
lets. The frozen river is level with the road in
some places. The cellars along River
avenue at Parker are partially filled with
water. The water works is .laboring under
difficulties to keep the town supplied with
water. There is 18 feet of water and ice at
the river bridge. The safety of the town
depends entirely on the weather. Should
the heavy snow above go off with a rain or
warm weather Parker and every town along
the river will be flooded. The damage thus
far has been very slight. Four feet more of
water will flood Biver avenue and all over
that will endanger property.
The quietness of the river has brought to
the front several brave river men whoknow
all about it The Clarion rivera wicked
stream when she gets on a high, is very full
and frozen thick. Telegrams were sent to
the Government engineer at Pittsburg in
hope, of receiving help in dislodging the
gorges, but the answer was discouraging.
Russians Are Kot Starring;.
P. Holstein, of "Wilna, Russia, registered
at the Schlosser yesterday. He is in the
United States gathering statistics on tanning
for the Bussian Government, and came to
Pittsburg with letters to Mr. Groetzinger
and other local tanners. . The young , man
was much interested in Mayor Gourley's
proclamation, calling tor contributions to
feed the starving Russians. Mr. Holstein
thinks any foreign assistance is unnecessary.
He says the famine is not as bad as report
ed, and the trouble is that the farmers have
sold the whole of their crops. He claims
the Government has ample resources to feed
all the people. Mr. Holstein speaks good
German, and Jacob Kellqr acted as inter
preter. Mr. Kel.er was much impressed
with what the Russian said, and he thinks
there is a gigantic scheme on foot to fleece
kindhearted Americans.

Emphasized by the Present Situation
of the Coal Trade.
OPERATORS OP WEST YIRGLNIA,
TYith Cheaper Production, Beaching Out for
lake Business.
LOWER FREIGIIT BATES WANTED NOW
Said a gentleman interested in the coal I
business the other day: "The West Vir- j
ginia operators are playing the deuce with I
Pittsbnrg operators who ship to Lake Erie,
iKe .rJrie, 1
ntd5saw

nmnnnw
and the only thing that will prevent
ter will be a reduction in freight of
a ton by the Pennsylvania Company.
90.to
Freight charge must come down
cents, or Pittsburg operators will be obliged
to give up the lake trade. A very I
slight knowledge of arithmetic, added
to ordinary intelligence and common sense,
will explain how it is that the operators in
the West "Virginia fields near Morgantown
and bordering on this State, including such
powerful capitalists as Senators Davis and
Camden and Secretary Elkins, can get away,
hands down, with Pittsburg.
' "In the first place, Pittsburg coal costs
the owners from 5100 to J300 an acre, while
West Virginia cdhl is only 520 an acre. Sec
ondly, Pittsburg operators must pay 79
cents a ton for mining, while West Virginia
operators pay 30 cents a ton, and at that
price their miners can make as much
money as Pittsburg miners. Thirdly, Pitts
burg coal veins are but four feet thick,
while these West Virginia veins are 7
to 10 feet thick. Fourthly, it costs as
much in the way of machinery to operate a
4-toot vein as it does a 10-foot vein, and en
try ways cost as much in developing a 4
foot vein as in a 10-foot vein.
The Same Amount of Work Reqalrcd.
"It requires as much work on the part of
a miner to cut under a 4-foot vein pre
paratory to dropping his coal as to do
the same thing under a 10-foot vein.
A 4-foot vein yields 4,000 tons to the
acre, while these West Virginia
mines yielded from 7,000 to 10,000 tons.
Finally when the mines are worked out
your tipples and other machinery necessary
to abandone has put out double the amount
of coal in West Virginia as in Pittsburg
territory. Pittsburg coal costs the oper
ator in some cases 10 cents a ton, while the
West Virgina operator at 520 an acre gets it
for a quarter of a cent a ton.
".Now all these things -taken together
enable the West Virginia operator to lay
uown coai in uieveiana at i 11 per ton.
coal over a 2-iuch screen, and, taking
freight into consideration.he can compete to
an extent that leaves but 87 cents net for
Pittsburg coal over a 1 screen. As mining
costs 79 cents and the coal 10 cents yon see
there is a loss of 1J cents per ton in compe-
inmuwiiuiutsc west v irginia people.
The Difference in Quality.
"It is true that Pittsburg coal is superior
for both gas and coke-making to the West
Virginia"article. Coke can be made of the
latter, but it is of poor quality, but for
making steam and for heating purposes
generally it is superior, at the price at
which it can be laid down at the lake, to
Pittsburg coal. As I said before, the Penn
sylvania Company might relieve us by re
ducing freight 20 cents a N ton, but that is
the only thing that can save us, for the
West Virginia miner can make as much
money mining coal there at 30 cents a ton,
or even less he really gets "but a cent a
bushel as the Pittsburg miner can at 79
cents a ton, and if the latter be squeezed
down to a lower rate of compensation the
former will also be reduced to correspond. "
In view of this statement, the need of a
ship canal to the lake is more than ever ap
parent. By a canal coal could be sent to
the lake for 20 cents a ton and ore could be
brought back for the same price, and when
it is considered that Buffalo and the lake
cities generally are determined to wrest from
Pittsburg its manufacturing supremacy if
possible, an expenditure of $10,000,000 would

Men's Custom-Made French Calf
Shoes, Worth $5.50.
This is another lucky catch
for us for you. These shoes
were expressly made for and bear
the label of 'one of the leading re
tailers of shoes in Philadelphia.
How do we come to sell them?
Listen ! After they . had been
made the manufacturer, for a cer
tain weighty reason, refused to
ship them. Just then our shoe
buyer happened along and bagged
the entire lot for just half the regu
lar price. Of course, the Phila
delphia retailer's name appears on
the label in each shoe, but what
care you for that? Remember,
you pay but 3, while the Phila
delphia price is 5.50.
