City's Guests, Yesterday.
All the country people are not ION to" the

very neatly yesterday afternoon, down on
Penn avenue. Hundreds of country boys
and their best girls paraded the streets,
looking for something to buy for
Christmas. A young fellow took advantage
of the presence of the unsuspecting, to dis
pose of numerous "phon" rings. He located
himself on Penn avenue, below Sixth ave-
nue., and hailed the young fellows with the
question: "Say. don't you want to buy a
ring?'
II caught OH quite numerously, and the
pretty country maidens will have quite a
store of 'l4 K" rings in their possession,
after Christmas.

4 Wag's Remark About the Allegheny Free
Orpan Recital.

A Wag's Remark About the Allegheny Free
Organ Recital.
Despite the sloppy weather very fair
sized audience attended the thirty-second
free organ recital at Carnegie Hall yester-
day, and listened with pleasure to the ma.
nipulation of the great organ in a numberof
popular selections. Miss. Bertha Galentin's
soprano was heard to advantage, and secured
appreciation. But the unbounded delight
with which the younger auditors received the
whistling abilities of Mrs. Leah Dickinson
was a surprise. The whistle and the organ
harmonized very agreeably. and hearty en-
cores satisfied the performers and the au-
dience.
A wag in the audience said that Alle-
gheny City might change, but the free re-
citals could not go into the second class.

Fear That the Tracks Are Not Solid Keeps
the Trains Back.
All the passenger trains OF the city con-
tinue to arrive from 10 minutes to two hours
behind scheduled time. The Baltimore and
Ohio trains are the worst off but those on
other roads are also shy of the schedule.
While all the officials claim that they have
succeeded in getting rid of the snow obstruc-
tions they are still little careful about
trying to make heavy speed on the tracks
for fear they were weakened by the storm.
All the roads running into the city have
big gangs OF men out looking over the road
to see that all is in ship shape order.

there was ice enough up stream to damage

One OF the river captains said that there

the Monongahela might be frozen up, be-

water comparatively still, and it is liable to
freeze sooner than on the Allegheny or

A PENETRATING FOG

Staked its Claim on the River and Delayed
Business.
The fog on the river detained navigation
rather seriously Friday night, and as a
consequence many up-river consignments of
merchandise arrived in Pittsburg quite
late. 1t was one of those peculiar pene-
trating wet fogs, that seems to be about half
rain, and which soaks into everything. 1t
did not rise until quite late. and thus threw
the packet boats badly off schedule.
One of the river men said yesterday re-
gardiug the fog: "That was one Of the worst
we ever had on the river, while it lasted,
though there have been logs that stayed
with us longer. The river is low now and
that makes it impossible for boats to take
the slightest chances"
