A large number of visitors attended
the afternoon concert at Riverside
Park yesterday, which was given by
the Beethoven Maennerchor. An ex-
cellenT program was rendered and the
participants received a great deal of
applause. The appointments of the
park and the attention the public re.
ceived, were excellent and were
pleasurably commented upon.
The power for moving the electric
cars was not sufficient, and gave out
at points along the road, compelling
visitors to walk home. This was the
only drawback.

COUNTING UP THE LOSS,

The Trustees OF tho Pittsburg Female Col
lege Waiting for the Insurance Com.
pnnies-Upon tho Actual Damage May
Depend Change of Location.
The question as to whether the Pittsbure
Female College will be rebuilt, or the loca-
ton changed to some more available section
is still undecided. The executive committee
of the Board of Trustees met yesterday after
noon. John N. Holmes presided. There
was lengthy session, but the only thing
done was to consider the matter of insur-
ance. An adjournment was then had to
next Monday. The advsability of building
the college in another section of the CITY was
considered, but it was thought best to let 1t
go over until the insurance is settled.
Tbe college will open on Monday. A
portion of the building will be inhabitable
for students about that time. The boarding
department will be in the college building,
as will the day school. The art school will
be held in the cabinet of the school; the
piano school in the Bissell block and the
organ school in the Smithield Street M. E.
Church. DR.. Norcross says that ne will be
in good shape on Monday, and expects all,
or nearly all, the pupils to come back. He
says that fire like that of Tuesday night
cannot dampen their enthusiasm.
There we're many peculiar scenes about
the scene of the fire yesterday. When it
was found early in the morning that there
were no policemen about and only few
fremen, who were still playing with their
hose upon the mass of rubbish, hundreds of
people who live in the nearby alleys began
to appropriate the cans of lard, vegetabl es
and other edibles which seemed 10 be living
around loose with no owner in sight. There
were no policemen about, and the fremen
didn't bother them until they began groyel-
ing where there was danger of walls falling.
They would not be driven out by words. and
finally the hose had to be turned upon
them. That was the only way to prevent
them from running into danger.
The walls of some of the buildings were
taken down yesterday afternoon under the
supervision of Building Inspector Hoffman,
To-day the other walls will be removed and
then will begin general removal of the
debris. The delay in removing the walls
has been due to the fact that the firemen
have been throwing water upon the mass of
covered stuff. To have thrown the walls
down upon this would have kept the fire
smouldering for an indefinite period.

A FAMINE OF FUEL.
The Iron Industry of The Shenango
and Mahouing Valleys
FRUSTRATED BY THE COKE STRIKE.
The Men Still Beterm med, and Still Seem
10 Hold Their own.
NO JURY YET Is THE GARRISON TRIAL

SPECIAL TELEGRAM TO THE DISPATCH!
SHARON, Nav Sat the time the blast
furnaces of the Shenango aud Mahoning
valleys shut down last January the opera
tors did not apprehend suspension Of more
than 30 or go days. Just as they were more
than willing to resume aud handle orders
that have been piling upon them the big
Connellsville coke strike began TO be felt
all along the valley, and they found they
were unable to secure coke TO run their fur
naces. This shutdown of i've months means
that the production of iron in the Shenango
Valley has already fallen off $50, 600 tons in
the year, and every day added TO the idle
ness means hundreds OF tons of iron added
to this loss.
The importance of the present entire sus-
pension of work in the valley means that at
least one-eighth Of the pig iron production
of the United States is lost. The valley
turns out one-eighth of the entire produc-
tion, but this year 1t will lose its record and
TALL away below other localities. Operators
are ready and anxious to resume, but say
they cannot get coke, owing to the mammoth
strike in the Connellsville region, and even to-
DAY, when it is stated the men are beginning to
resume. no coke can be had here. A full re-
sumption of work in the coke regions. when it
comes, means that there will be great boom
in the valley. and the thousands of men thrown
out of employment and idle at present will be
turned into the furnaces that have been dead
80 long.
Manufacturers say the price of iron is not so
high as might be wished, but that they can
store it in their yards, which are now as bare
as hoor They also believe that the effect Of
the shutdown will be felt soon enough in
prices whether they resume now or later on.
Sales since the shutdown have been very
active and it is doubtful if there is pound of
iron in the valley to-day. The last big sale was
by the Sharpsvlle Furnace Company to the
Carnegie Edgar Thomson Works, some 800 tons
being shipped daily to fill The order. The
greatest loss is thought To be sustained by the
railroads that have lost the freight on millions
OF tons Of ore and iron, and the end does not
seem in sight yet

General Manager Wood, General Super
intendent Of Transportation, e. B. Taylor
and General Passenger Agent Ford. Of the
Pennsylvania Company, left for Philadel.
phis last evening to attend the summer time
meeting. Mr.. Ford said the New York
Central had shortened Its time between New
York and Chicago to ~ hours without extra
fare, and to meet them the Ft Wayne would
reduce 1t to 26 hours, giving patrons another
train as fast rs the limited with
no extra charge. The limited will
he kept on under the present system. 1t Is
intended to catch the class who like to be
exclusive, and as they are willing to pay
the extra fare the road doesn't object, as 1t
gives the other trains chance to have their
quota of passengers. No other changes OF
importance are expected.
Mr.. Ford thinks the boycott against the
Alton road will be successful this time. He
saws the bluster OF the Alton officials re-
minds him of the boy who whistled in the
dark to keep up his courage. Last week the
passenger earnings Of the Fort Wayne

corresponding time for last year. Mr.. Ford
says the country is growing, and great
many people are travelling.
