PrrTsBuRe, February 23.-The situation
in the local pig iron market has not under
gone any important change since last
week. The demand is still of hand
to-mouth order, dealers restricting their
purchases to supplying only immedi-
ate wants. 1t is not likely that this policy
will be changed until the condition of
affairs improve Quite number Of furnaces
have blown out recently, and others are
contemplating like action as soon as they
get through with the contracts now on hand.
Prices continue weak, and furnacemen
claim that under the most favorable au-
spices the margin for profit is exceedingly
small. No. foundry is quoted at So 5O9

"As one of SHADES hackers my attention

which Mr.. Sullivan promises to do great
many things, and talks of large sums OF
money. MIR. Sullivan thinks. Mr.. Slade

$4,000 miles by land and sea, and would be

were to do so. The rules of the London

elapse between the challenge and The fight.
This fact Mr.. Mace, the hero OF

knows, hence he does not propose to i'm
peril his protege's chances by permitting
his conduct TO be influenced by mere windy
talk. Messrs Fox. Slade, Mace and myself
have been much bothered at the hands OF
the New York police, and are aware OF the
liabilities of posting money in that city,

STEUBENVlLlE WINS.
The Legislature Finally Gives Her Her
Share of the school Fund.

COLUMBUS February 23-In September
last the School Enumerator of Steuben-
Vile, through inexcusable carelessness,
made false reports of school children ag-
gregating 1000. The Board of Education
of that city called the attention of the
State School Commissioner to the fact, and
asked for a new enumeration, which was
granted, but was taken under very unfayor-
able circumstances, footing 4,l73. This was
believed by those best acquainted with the
city to be as much too low as the other
was too high. The Finance Committee of
the House undertook to deprive the city OF
its share Of the school funds because it
claimed that
Excessive Enumeration
had been made in the years 1879, 1880 and
1881. To this the Senate refused to agree,
and hence struck out the provision refer
ring specially to Steubenville. The
discussion was most animated and IN
terestiRg, lasting nearly two days.
Senators Hollingsworth, Dickinson,
and Chapman made especial ef-
forts, and TO them as much as to any Others
is due the credit Of preventing species of
legislation that would not have reflected
credit on the General Assembly, and would
have done manifest injustice TO the city OF
Steubenville. This afternoon the House
passed the bill giving 10 Steubenyille all
that was claimed. The House spent the
greater part of the day in discussing the
temperance question without accomplish.
ing anything. The further discussion was
then postponed until next week.

A Handy sugar Bowl.

Yesterday afternoon Robert Hagar went
to the Chinese restaurant on Main street,
near the Opera House, to pay the proprie.
tor a balance of 81 which he owed him for
the board Of men whom he had employed
to chop wood for him. The Cinnamon in
charge of the restaurant demanded So
more. as board of men whom Mr.. Hsgar
had distinctly announced he would not be
responsible for, as they had ceased to be
in his employ. He refused to pay this ad-
ditional sum and the Chinamsn undertook
to collect it by force. He grabbed up a
heavy walking cane belonging to Mr..
Hagar and tried to strike him with it, but
the old gentleman grabbed q sugar bowl
standing on a table near by and let the
Monaghan have it on the side Of the head,
cutting a flesh wourd in his forehead. A
general attack was the result on the part
of the corps Of Cinnamon working in the
restaurant, which Mr.. Hagar withstood by
using one article of table service after an
other as he had used the sugar bowl, as
fast as he could. until q crowd rushed in
and put a stop to the rumpus.

ECOh ~ RCDC
Our dispatches this morning contain an
account Of one of those rows that are pecu-
liar to college towns. The scene Of the
rumpus in this case was Princeton, New
Jersey, half way between New York and
Philadelphia, q small town not larger than
Eureka, q very considerable portion OF
which is some 1 200 pupils in the old col
lege Nassau HalD and the Theological
Seminary. Between the college boys and
the towns folk there has been o feeling Of
hostility running back far into the last
century. The feud is unreasonable and
silly, but 1t exists at Princeton as well
as at every other college town in the
world, probably; certainly at every n in
America. A pleasanter or more genteel
community than that Of Princeton town
cannot be found anywhere, and we incline
to the belief that the cause Of the mischief
is with the pupils who assemble there
from almost every State in the Union, as
well as from Europe and Asia, being
beyond the reach OF home counsel and
restraint, put on a good many airs. The
young men of the town they are pleased to
term 'snobs," while the latter have
names enough for them. Sometimes
for three or four years no outbreak
will occur and nothing will transpire
to indicate the hostility entertained and
recognized on both sides but contemptu-
GUS chances from the college boys and
defiant responses Of a similar sort from
the "snobs." At times the feeling be-
comes so bitter and general that the doors
Of Princeton society are barred against the
entrance of all but a few favored lads, per-
haps in junior and senior classes. Then
the pupils, especially those Of the usually
rampant, Freshman class, rear back On
their dignity and wonder why they had
ever before tolerated the vulgar people
among whom they had to live for q year
or 30. Chances are if we we're on the
ground and had to take sides we would be
found with the boys, just for old times
sake; but at this distance, and with the
experience Of years to prove the slight
value that attaches to the name that the
youngsters think 80 highly of, we would
not be much chagrined to hear that the
'snobs" had thrashed them, and in that
~drubbing given them 9 foretaste Of some
thing real in life among men. A good
clicking" now may save them harder
knocks hereafter.

free in the Lick House. One Of the
trustees. who Is also q pioneer, answered
that the delay in settling the estate and
giving California the educational institu-
tons contemplated In James Lick's will
arose from the trustees desire to dispose
