A Rise at Headwaters Promises a Good
Coal-Boat Stage Soon.
THE Scotia left at o'clock for Cincinnati,
last evening.
THE H. K. Bedford lett at noon yesterday for
Parkersburg
THE Congo arrived last evening from Gin

THE marks on the Monongahela wharf show

will be good coal-boat stage if the rain con-
tinues. There was slight rise reported at
headwaters last evening.
The survey for the Beaver dam has been
completed, 1t will, no doubt be located oppo-
site the Beaver County Poor Farm, below Rae
coon creek. This location meets the approval
of all rivermen. They think it is just the place
for it.

We would like to hear from the Sixth ward
players as to the tourney, as some of our cor
respondents will offer some prizes to the con-
testants.
At SO Seventh avenue there is a match of so
games In progress between Mr. Davids and
Mr.. Hardy, two warriors and rivals for
championship honors. 1t is more amusing
than instructive to watch the play. Mr..
Davids generally takes the lead when all is
Quietness, but if he makes a slip and Mr.
Hardy gets the winning position. Mr.. Hardy
then commences to laugh. 1t is no ordinary
laugh, but one that is so contagious that before
he is done he has all the players laughing with
him. This so upsets Mr.. Davids that slips are
numerous, and Hardy is kept on with his
laugh for hours. reminding us of Longfellow's
"Eyangeline."

the strong he plays even, the weak the
same; and this makes some very ordinary play

opinion of ourselves, and our ability as players;
but in match with the Mcdonald expert we
feel sure we would get badly left.

WHERE NERC's BODY LIES.
A Discovery That Has Historic but No Other
Importance

While the hot-blooded Americans are
making grave subjects of some of the natives
of Italy in this country, who will be buried
far from home and in such place that it
will be difficult to locate them hereafter, it
is timely to announce the finding of the last
resting place of an ancient and worthy pre-
decessor-Nero. Pincian Hill, several
miles from the old city of Rome, has the
honor; fact which has been definitely de-
termined by the finding of stone with an
inscription fixing the location of Phaon's
villa, where the cruel tyrant committed sui
eide.
1t may be of greatinterest to archsologists
that these little details be settled, but of
what value to the human race the finding of
Nero's grave may he is not known. No one
knows of any virtues possessed bv him Tor
which he should be honored and as for relics
of his reign they are made up of piles of
charred ruins scattered here and there
throughout the province and haunted by the
ghosts of his murdered mother, wives and
concubInes. We know too much of his his
tory, and as for his bones or burial place,
the sooner they are lost to sight and knowl-
edge the better.

Will Soon Change Ownership.

The GartsIde property at Ben Venue, for
merly Mlilvale. consisting of between five and
six acres Of land and four good frame ho1ses, is
about changing ownership through the firm of
Black & Baird. the prospective purchaser being
a well-known capitalist, who will either i'm
prove or subdivide. The price has not been
divulged. but it will approximate $500 an
acre, that figure having been paid not long ago
for tract of several acres in the immediate
vicinity. This property possesses considerable
historic interest. 1t was here that the first
woolen mill erected in Western Pennsylvania
was located. 1t was operated by water power
furnished by the creek-then a considerable
stream-lately put underground by Evan Jones
and since known as the Thirty-third street
sewer. On adjoining property, Just above, was
erected the first iron mill operated in this
vicinity. 1t was also the scene of the cele-
brated Junction Railroad fight about ten years
ago. The situation is pic; uresdue and admira-
ably adapted to residence purposes, and i'm
provemsnts will be Of such nature as to make
it one of the handsomest spots in that part of
the CITY.

WORLDS CHAMPIONSHIP DISPUTE.

In our last issue we gave our readers Reeds
side and what Mr.. Hefter had to say in his be-
halt We give the following, which goes to
show that there are two sides to every questions:
Mr.. John Illingworth, of SprIngwood, New
South Wales, whose CUES: Mr.. Wylie had been
for while, writes to the AuStrdtGSiGn "thae
Mr.. Hefter's remarks have caused Mr.. Wyllie a
great deal of annoyance. Mr. Wyllie's intention
was to go to San Francisco by the steamer an
nounced to leave Sydney on February IS. He
would then have arrived in America on March
IA, IN ample time TO begin the match before the
end of April. and not in June or July, as Mr..
Hefter states.' Mr.. Wyllie is also very indig-
it was very doubtful whether Mr.. Reed would
play a match with him at all or not. He regards
this remark as quite uncalled for. because no
time was mentioned for the Reed-Wyllie
match. He has consequently made up his
mind to abandon the idea of returning to Scot
land via America, and to go via London, call
ing on his way both at Melbourne and at Ade-
laide Meanwhile he is to pay visit to Spring
wood on February z: and he has made an
engagement to play at the Bega Draughts
Club on February a.
The following is from the leading checker
column in Great Britain. The Glasgow Herald,
commenting onWyllie's letter to the Turf: We
think Mr.. Wyllie is perfectly right in not risk
inc voyage to the United States on a mere
chance of a match taking place after his ar
rival. He has, however, in an unmistakable
way, shown his willingness 10 play the best in
America by leaving his deposit at the service
of anyone willing TO meet him during the next
six months; but were he once home again in
Scotland, II will be the advice of his friends. as
1t most emphatically is ours, to leave younger
knight-errants to come here and play him.
The veteran has twice already visited the
United States, and should an American player
or any other, desire to meet him for the
worlds championship, it would only be fitting
they should come to this country.

He said financial negotiations were proceed

trouble was in regard to a site. Two have

they are held so high that it is likely they
will be abandoned and new ones looked up.
He intimated that they had received an offer

A LARGE FALLING OFF.
The Volume of Chicago business VIII Be
Smaller This Year.
SPECIAL TELEGRAM TO TILE DISPATCH.

rPECIAL TELEGRAM TO TILE DIsPA ArCH.
CHICAGO, March N.-Rogers, Brown and
Mervin say: The Chicago market continues
quiet, the business going being mainly confined
to car lots. Consumption is running light in
nearly all kinds of work, foundries and machine
shops reporting that much smaller volume of
business exists than during last year. Prices
on coke brands remain stationary, and there is
little desire on the part of furnace companies
or their agents to press sales.
Lake Superior charcoal irons continue at un-
changed figures, and in but very small demand.
The outlook, both for prices and consumption
of pig metal, is full of uncertainty. 1t, is gen.
orally conceded that a mnch smaller volume of
business will be done this year than last.
