story, were taken to that town by heart

in his wagon and ride to Pittsburg, but
when he was ready to start for home again
he made them get out of the wagon and re-

DELIGHTED THE DELEGATES.
Pennsylvanians Got All They Wanted at
the Watervays Convention

Pennsylvanians Got All They Wanted at
the Waterways Convention.
Captain James A. Henderson has re-
turned from Evansville, Ind, where he at
tended the waterways convention. He
said yesterday that the entire Pennsylvania
delegation was highly pleased with its re-
ception, and gratifed at receiving every
thing it asked for. Many delegations had
the congressman from their districts present
with them, and when the resolutions are
presented to Congress they will be able to
help the cause along. Several cities have
been suggested for the next convention, but
the matter has been placed in the hands of
q committee to make the selection.
The exhibition of river appliances was
very fine. One thing the Captain mentioned
in particular was portable dam, which
can be used to divert the course of the river
over shallow places with such force as to
make a fairly good camel. The dam can
then be taken up and the boat go on its
Eay.

Great Demand for White Hearsss.

The demand for white hearses in the two
cities yesterday was almost unprecedented.
Every undertaking establishment possessing
one had it in use from three to four trips.
Several children's remains had to be con-
veyed to the cemeteries in black or adult
hearses. Mr.. Vogel, of Simpsons under
taking establishment, remarked that he
never witnessed such demand, when the
mortality was so small. There is no great
prevalence of disease generally noticeable,
but the fact that all the white hearses were
called out and in constant demand, shows an
increased death rate in children. There are
about Is white hearses in the two cities
The dominnat disease is thought to have
been diptheria among the children and
infants.
