Mr.. Hockadny Wants tho Land for Other
Purposes.
TINES reporter talked with j. f.
Hockaday yesterday with reference to
his lot at the corner of Church and Roa
nokc streets, recommended by Treasury
Agent Window as suitable Site for the
proposed public building. When in.
formed that the report that he had
withdrawn his tender Of the lot to a
syndicate had been contradictod, he
said 1t was true, and that he intended
pctitioning the City Council TO per.
NIT him to move the row Of
frame buildings at the corner of
Commerce and Robertson streets TO l..
so he could erect there ;hrec.s.ory
brick business block. and that the
Government could not now have tho
Church street site for less than $4,000.
which he and others consider a very
low price for it. The withdrawal Of the
TWO Roanoke street sites would seem TO
indicate that their advocates have
about abandoned al hope Of securing
the public building at either OF these
localities. Mr.. IIockaday is not at all
anxious to sell the Church street lot a,
the price named, and it is probable that
to obtain 1t the Government. would have
to institute condemnation proceedings,
which would make this site cos. SIC. COO
or more.

An Expert BIames the City.
Richard A. Roberts, connected with the
Westinghouse Electric Company, takes a
very decided stand on the impure water
question and lays the blame on the city
government. Speaking OF the matter
Yesterday he said:
"A prominent Sharpsburg citizen offered a
suggestion yesterday which he claims will
insure almost perfect filtration and pure
water for both cities. Said he:
LET Pittsburg and Allegheny buy
Brswdy's island. or Six-mile island as 1t is
better known, located almost opposite the
Brilliant pumping station. Build heavy
wall around it 10 a height above high water
mark Scoop it out, making large basin
into which the water from the Allegheny
river will filter. and then draw the supply
from that. / have for years thought this
the cheapest and most feasible way for the
tao cities to get good water, and l think 1t
is possible -;

REVERSING THE ROUTES.
Changes in the Schedule Of the Pleasant
Valley Road.

Changes in the Schedule of the Pleasant
Valley Road.
A change will be made tomorrow in the
manner Of running the cars on the Pleasant
Valley Street Railway. The Irwin avenue
cars will leave Federal street at Montgomery
avenue and run along Montgomery avenue
to Arch street, up Arch street to jackson
street and thence to Irwin avenue. The
California avenue cars will go up Federal
street to North avenue, down North avenue
to Monterey street, up the latter to Jackson
street, and thence to fremont street.
This is practically reversing the routes
now followed, as the Irwin avenue cars
have heretofore gone down North avenue
while the California avenue cars have used
Arch and jackson streets. In addition to
this change the route along Taylor and
Irwin avenues, heretofore used by the Irwin
avenue cars, will be abandoned. The
change is made because the officers of the
company believe it will better accommodate
their patrons and enable the cars to make
better time The California avenue cars
carry the largest loads, and the delay
caused by the grade on Arch street will now
be thrown on the lighter loaded Irwin ave-
nue. cars.
The Pleasant Valley Company has one
improvement it might make that would
give more satisfaction than any other.
That is, the placing of stove in the all
night horse car. The car used has neither
cushions nor stove, and ride in it is more
conducive to colds and rheumatism than a
night out of doors would be. The Man.
chester line has not yet started up its winter
stove, either on the night cars.

the Pittsburg Presbytery.

Meeting Of the S3DDatn SchOOl lnstltute ol
the Pittsburg Presbytery.
The Sabbath School Institute of the Pitts
burg Presbvtery met yesterday afternoon
and evening in the Sixth Presbyterian
Church. The afternoon meeting was opened
with devotional exercises by Charles H.
Shinkle An address on "Hon Can This
Association Help the Sabbath Schools Un-
der Its Ca-e?" was made by Rev. c. S. Nc
Clelland.
THE Library was the subject of an sd-
dress by Dr. John L. Ferson. w.
H. Mcconnell spoke on "The Pri-
mary School" Preparation and Teach
inc'' WAS the subject taken by
S. l.. Fullwood. At the conclusion of each
address short discussion of the subject
took place. A conference of pastors and
superintendents, led by John W. Robinson,
followed the addresses A conference was
also held of primary teachers, led by Mrs.
DR.. Kumler.
In the evening the exercises were con-
ducted by Charles H. Shinkle. An address
on the Conditions of Successful Teaching"
was made by Rev. DR.. A. \. Carson, of
Pioua, o. Rev. Q. V. Stewart. Steubenvilie,
followed with short address in the same
vein. At the conclusion of the address a
resolution was presented and adopted pro-
viding that the institute request the E1-
ecutive Committee of the Sabbath School
Association of this Presbytery to prepare a
list of books suitable for library purposes,
and formulate a set of principles to govern
in the selection of such books. The insti-
iute closed with tie benediction by the
Rev. Dr. Carson.

ever, and will be on hand in the struggle
for election of State and national dele
gates. We are. not going to kic
against our party, but will work within it
to defeat the schemes of the men who have
been selling out.
J. B. Larkin, the Democratic leader,
whose political scalp is most desired by the
men who are going into the new club, does
not think the threatened movement will
have much weight. He said discomfort is
one of the characteristics of minority
party. The explanation he gave for the
present outbreak was that there are no Off
cial favors to be given to party workers, and
consequently many become dissatisfied.
"When there is big jack pot" contin-
ued Mr.. Larkin, call the players stay in
game and take chances, but when there is
little to be won they fall ont. I.don't know
what strength the new club will develop,
but I don't think there is any reason tor
getting scared
Among the prominent Democrats who are
going into the new club are Attorney
Charles O'Brien, John Huckenstein, T. j..
Keenan,, Frank Guffy. Frank McGirr, John
r. Large, w. d. Moore and William Walls.

either Attorney O'Brien or Attorney Sipe' s
office Steps will be taken to get club
rooms and to secure members
c. L. Magee was asked his opinion of the
movement of the eX-office holders in Mr..
Clevelands behalf, and said:
''If the movement is in the interest of
Mr. Cleveland it is a very bad thing for
him. The organized influence of such a
body of men would ordinarily be of great
benefit to candidate, but if the positions
are to be mortgaged before the elec-
tiou to the men who previously
held. the other fellows will have
little hope to stimulate them in working
for the ticket. If Mr.. Cleveland has made
such a bargain with the ex-office holders it
will be handicap to him in securing the
nomination and will be still greater one
if he should ne so unfortunate as to get the
nomination"

SCARCITY OF HEAVY OAK.
Almost Impossible to Secure Any Large
Sized Hardwood Timber.

Almost Impossible to Secure Any Large
Sized Hardwood Timber.
Engineer Arras, of the Government serv-
ice, states that the beginning of the end has
come so far as white oak in Pennsylvania is
concerned. The Government lately gave a
contract in this city for some square white
oak timber, of size that dozen years ago
could have been found in the hard lumber
yards hereabouts in an hours time. After
a persistent search, the contractor threw
up his contract, stating that he could
not fill it. 1t was then given to another
and at the end of a fortnight he reported
that he had secured all but two pieces, and
that they were not to be had Mr.. Arras
then got the order modified, and as changed
it was filled after all the log. rafts lying in
the river had been inspected.
Owners of what hemlock timber is left
about the headwaters of the Allegheny have
finally learned sense enough to refrain from
allowing the trees to rot after the bark is
peeled, but few years ago that country
was covered by half rotten hemlock and
freight on bark is saved. The tannin is
extracted in the woods where the bark is
obtained. 1t is estimated that there
are still between 100000 900
and 100000 900 feet of merchan-
table timber in the Tionesta
Valley. This is equiv! mt to 1, 500, 600 two
horse loads, but while somewhat bewilder-
ing in a ''fgurative" way it will not be
many years until the last tree is slain.
There is verv littl. forest LETT in this
State, that is worth anything for lumber,
and meantime, the railways are consuming
all the hardwood large enough to make
tie, so that thee is no prospect of a re-
newal of our hardwood timber in a cent
ury and the pine and other per-
sistents do not readily reclothe
the wastes But worse than the loss of
timber, for which substitutes may be found,
is the fact that since the denudati on of the
forests our climate has become so uncertain
that even with the aid of the signal service
no business calculations can be based on
the weather and birds and animals have
not yet acquired new instinct such as will
enable them to serve us as barometers. Even
the hoot owl misses it as often as the weather

FIVE CENTS, PLEASE.
That Will Be the Rate on the Fifth
Avenue Cars Again To-Day.
STILL ONE MORE CONFERENCE.
All of the Details of the Deal Have Not
Yet Been Arranged.
THE STATEMENT MADE BY G. L. MAGEE

This morning Scent fares go into effect
on the Fifth avenue cable road. There will
be big reduction in the traffic in conse-
quence, and the Duquesne line will
hereafter carry more passengers. Many
people in the East End living along the
Duquesne have been walking several
squares to save tie difference in fares, but
with the fares equalized will patronize the
nearest and quickest line to the city.
1t is evident from the statements of the
Duquesne representatives who returned
from Philadelphia yesterday that the deal
between the two companies has not pro-
gressed as far as has been anticipated. The
indications are, however, that the pro-
gramme mapped out by THE DISPATCH a
couple of weeks ago will be fully carried
out in short time. c. l.. Magee's state
ments in published interviews, and the fact
that w. l.. Elkins and p. A. B. Widener,
of Philadelphia. are to come here again
within a few days for another conference
seem to fully justify this presumption.
Mr.. Magee still insists that no actual con-
solidation has taken place, but says the
deal is shaping itself that way and may
come in the future. The present arrange
ment is nothing more than one of harmony
and mutual benefit in the traffic business
which will be Of equal benefit to the pub
lie. Colonel Elkins will not assume the
management of the Duquesne line vet for
while, according to Mr.. Magee. 1t is evil
dent that the Philadelphia conference
caused a postponement of this change, but
it will come very shortly there is no doubt.
One significant remark made by Mr.. Ma
gee was this: "Whatever is done between
the two lines will be done on basis OF
equality and with the full consent of the
stockholders. The management of the lines
will be kept separated, but each company
will have representation on the board Of
directors of the other

Mckinley Returns Home.

Major Mckinley passed through the city
yesterday morning on his way home from
New York. The Major is Presidential
candidate, and he maintained discreet
silence on political subjects. He thinks
Mills has the strongest backing, and will be
the next Speaker. He had nothing to say
about the Senatorial fight in Ohio He
says the tariff and silver questions will be
the issues in 1892. New York has quieted
down since the election. He added that
Tammany was too we'll organized for Fas-
sett. The Major will remain in Canton un-
til the Inauguration. AS expected the con-
test for some of the Offices which he will
fill by appointment is growing warm 1t
is thought that James Boyle, Columbus
newspaper man, will be the Majors private
secretary. Boyle expected the job from
Foraker, but was disappointed. He served
Mckinley faithfully during the campaign.
