The supply today was moderate and the
fresh receipts consisted of common to me-

done, and in many cases where trades
hung fire on account of unsatisfactory bids
yesterday, sales were made today. Good
stockers are steady but common grades
are lower. The market on cows of every

How PLAYING Marbles Are Made.

Nearly all the common marbles which
drag down the pockets of our boys are
made in Oberstein, Germany. They are
made from the refuse of the agate and
stone quarries in that neighborhood.
The stone is broken into small cubes by
blows of light hammer. These small
blocks of stone are thrown by the shovel
fui into the hopper" of small mill.
formed of bed of stone, having its sur
face grooved with concentrated burrows;
above these is the runner" which is
made of hard wood having level face
on its lower surface. The upper block
is made to revolve rapidly, water being
delivered upon the grooves of the bed
stone where the marbles are being
rounded. 1t takes about fifteen minutes
to finish a bushel of good marbles ready
for swapping" One mill will turn out
10000 marbles per week. The very
hardest CRACKERS" as the boys cal
them. are made by slower process
somewhat analogous, however, to the
other.-New York Telegram.

A Pennsylvania railroad conductor on
one of the limited trains between New
York and Washington the other night
entered the first coach, found it crowd
ed, and in one of the front seats upon
the left was a young man. He was well,
even elegantly, dressed. In his hand he
held French novel. Upon his small
and ordinary countenance there sat the
naughty look of reserve of the imitation
gentleman.
When the conductor entered and called
for the tickets this youthful person af-
fected to be so absorbed in his book that
the conductor passed him by, calling
first upon the rest of the passengers,
even going clear through the train be-
fore he returned to disturb the naughty
reader. When the conductor came back
the young person still refused to pay any
attention. The conductor waited a mo-
ment and then called out rather sharply
for his ticket.
The youthful and now thoroughly
contemptuous person, noticing that the
man, whom he called the guard of the
train, had addressed him with some
brusqueness, which he translated into
rudeness, took his ticket and, without
looking at the conductor, threw it upon
the floor. The graduate of the Pennsyl-
vania school of manners was fully equal
to this unusual situation. He showed
no temper, no excitement, nor any lack
of repose. With the calm gravity of a
man who is sure of himself he stopped to
the floor, punched the fallen ticket the
requisite number of times with great
gravity, and then quietly laid it back
upon the floor where it had been dropped
and walked calmly on amid the roars OF
the entire cart. c. Crawford in New
York Tribune.

THE RIVER SWELLING.

Rise of Eight Inches an Hour Registered
on the Monongahela Marks Last Even
ing-Rivermen Expect at Least Is Feet
of Water.
The river began heavy rise at 6 o'clock
last evening, from that time on swelling at
the rate of eight inches an hour, and at $50
o'clock it registered feet 6inches above the
low-water mark. The rivermen are expect
ing at least l5 feet in the river this morning
and probably more If the cold wave scheduled
fails come there may possibly be q very big
river. However all are looking for the cold
snap to come and that will settle the question
of water
William Douglass. late lumberman, states
that he has noticed for many years that when
the cutters are not flooded In time of a thaw. ir
1.-THE thaw) does not amount to much; that the
fountains of the great deep are broken up, as
It were, in time of a regular thaw, and that
such is not the case at present. This view is
borne out from the fact that yesterday the
snow lay nearly as deep as ever on field and
in forest.
Some observers think one of the various bliz-
yards prowling around in the Northwest will
head this way before many hours and put d
stop to the present dissolution. When river
men heard yesterday afternoon that the cold
flag was up they breathed easier, though some
of them opired that there would be from 10 to
IL feet in any event short. of a regular freeze
up. A continuation of warm weather with
rain at the headwater districts would give at
least 80 feet, and possibly more than in 1884.

SLASHED THE ESTIMATE,

The Demands of the Allegheny Street De-
partment Cut Over S7,O0O-Made Lower
Than Last Year-Two Other Committees
Transact Important Business.
Another meeting, almost as lively, was
that of the Committee on Streets and Sewers.
In this case the trouble was over the esti-
mate for the Street Department for this year.
City Engineer Ehlers had fixed the amount
necessary at SS2S5O, but the committee
had very different ideas or necessities, and
after long fight the amount was cut down to
S75, 00Q 1t was argued that the appropriation
for last year was $50 600 and yet 1000 addi-
tional had to be appropriated during the year.
Against this was brought the argument that as
the city was to be bonded to the extent of
$500 0G0 this year to improve the Streets S75 900
would be sufficient for the present year for re-
pairs.
The fight ended in the ordinance for the lat
ter figure being affirmatively recommended to
Councils.
The committee also considered petition of
Ft. Wayne & Chicago Railroad at Fulton street
and California avenue. An ordinances for the
same was ordered printed for Councils.
The Gas Committee of Allegheny also met
last night and considered the ordinance grant
ing the Star Illuminating Gas Company the
right to lay pipes over the city streets. The
ordinance was affirmativelv returned to Coup-
ellis. The ordinance fixes the price at 20 cents
per 1000 feet TO citizens, and 40 per cent less
than the selling price to the city.
A subcommittee was appointed to examine
into the efficiency of the tower system of light
ing and report to meeting of the general COM
mittee on January 10.
AT meeting of the Printing Committee a
subcommittee was appointed to prepare and
distribute ballots for the people 90 vote on the
extension and improvement OF the water works.

A Bull in a China shop.

The whirlwind of trade that swept through
Kaufmanns' china department during the
holiday season can be likened only to the
proverbial "Buil in a china shop" It
created sad havoc with all kinds of goods.
A thousand odds and ends are scattered in
every direction, and no matter where you
look you see some evidence of the wreck.
Of course, these odds and ends are all in
first-class condition, but the prices are all
broken in pieces. Furthermore, the room
is needed for new stock, and Kaufmanns
have, therefore, concluded to inaugurate to-
morrow morning an entire unconditional
and speedy clearance sale of all odds and
ends in china, crockery, art pottery, glass
ware, etc.,
AT HALF THE MARKED PRICES.
Now, bear we'll in mind, this is no trick or
splurge. Kaufmanns mean just what they
say. You simply pay one-balf the price
marked on the ticket. That's plain-isn't t
it? You will find:
Odds and ends in china dinner sets.
Odds and ends in china tea sets.
Odds and ends in china toilet sets.
Odds and ends in china plates,
