HentInr hr EIectricitK.

The matter OF electric heating Is at
present demanding considerable atten-
tion, and was the subject OF three pa
pers read before the meeting OF tho
Chicago Electric Club. The problem OF
electric heating has now been very
thoroughly investigated, aud as far as
its practicability is concerned is pretty
well established. IL can hardly DO con-
sidered, however, to have been suifi-
clently developed In point OF economy
lo prove generally useful, although FOR
certain applications II doubtless is nov
In position to compete with other
methods of heating.
Such cases are OF course confined TO
those 10 which heat Is required inter
mittently, where the consumption OF
fuel during the periods OF disuse is suffi-
cient TO more than counterbalance the
extra cost of current above fuel.
1t is chiefly as a luxury that this
method finds III application, and 10 thy
line Of convenience, electro smoothing
irons, cooking utensils, ovens, etc.I
leaves little to be desired.
IL is estimated that electricity AZ
S015 per per horse power per year Of
4. 900 hours aas heating effect equal 70
coal at Sc per ton for house heatingf
and somewhat less for cooking, which
shows that only small advance In eth
cheney is necessary to put IL IN active
competition with coal. Electricity.

The Josh Cook and Bob Ballard pass
ed up yesterday with tows OF empties.
The Ben Hur is scheduled to depart
for Parkersburg at 1880 o'clock this
morning.
The Iron Queen passed up for Pitts
burg at 5 a. M, and the Bedford for the
same port at s q. m.
The Sunshine cleared about noon for
Parkersburg, and the Hudson at the
same hour for Cincinnati.
There is a sunken barge reported
right in the channel at the "Clusters,"
and it should be taken out OF there as
soon as possible.
Capt Meldahl, Of the Hudson, thinks
that boats, when sinking barge or
other craft in the channel, should be
compelled by law to place light on the
same at night. BY having these
suaken craft properly lighted at night
accidents may be avoided.
Capt. Tony Medahl, one of the pilots
on the Hudson, suggests that all lights
on bridges should be under control Of
the lighthouse service. He says now
bridge companies do it, but in such
manner very often as to be very unsat-
isfactory TO navigstors. In this respect
he reports the bridge at Point Pleasant
as being the worst between Pittsburg
and Cincinnati If, as suggested, this
matter was transferred to the light
house service it would be attended to
and in proper manner.
The marks at the landing last night
showed feet of water in the channel

BY StoEfs In an Exhibition Game OF Pool
Last Night
w. II, Clearwater, of Raveuna, o.,
who recently defeated De ors, the
Cuban, Ia continuous pool contest at
Plttsburg, aud thereby won tbs cham
pionship of the world, played an exhi-
bition game OF 1875 balls, continuous
pool, at the Mcclure House billiard par
lors last night with Il. P. Stofft OF
Ohio. The game was witnessed by
about 100 people, who crowded about
the table and at times interiered with
the players.
Clearwater was not in good form.
he did not play as good game as he
put up against Osce Statler, last winter.
Stofft is an excellent player, his best
point being long shots, upon which ne
seldom fails. Both fell on easy plays
number OF times. Clearwater main
tanned an advantage from the start, un-
I'll be secured 70 balls TO his opponents
So. Then one or two poor shots
caused him to fall to the rear.
On the next frame Stofft pocketed IA,
and Clearwater l. He followed this up
with to z, and then took big lead by
making 10 balls. When the score stood
1913 to 9s in favor of Stoffs, Clearwater
missed a hard shot, and his opponent
pocketed the necessary balls. Both
players made difficult shots, which were
roundly spplauded. Stotft, on the
whole, played the better game.
At the conclusion OF the contest,
Stofft gave clever exhibition Of fancy
aud trick shots, including the "cube"
and "hve-cracker. Both men will
play again tonight at the Grand Opera
House billiard parlor.
