A very large quantity of coal passed
this city yesterday for the southern
market in charge of twelve towboats
and a small quantity will pass to-day.
But few boats left Pittsburg yesterday.
They were the Enterprise, Frank Gil
more, Belle MCGOWAN, j. C. FISHER and
Acorn, and they had in tow only light
coal boats and barges. as the Ohio has
fallen below a barge stage. IcAin on
siderable quantities was flowing out of
the Allegheny and Monongahela rivers
Yesterday, but the ice from the latter
is not heavy.
The coal feet on the way south with
a little more than 100000 bushels OF
Goa, will begin to arrive at Cincinnati
Saturday. AS far as could be learned
up until noon yesterday, no accidents
had been reported, and the coal men
do not want TO hear of any. Shipment
of coal during ice foes is always at
tended with more or less danger. Some
times the ice gets under barges n
causes lows to ground. It is different
with coal boats, for the heals OF them
are square and the ice is beaten off to
one side.
The moderating weather is pleasing
to the river men. 1t is not unlikely
that many of the steamers now on
their way down the river will be Dr.
Ndered back to Pittslourg to take out
lows or barges, as the indications are
that there will not be a barge stage for
several days to come. The following
towboats passed the city yesterday:
B. d. Wood, Tom Rees No. 2 and John
A. Wood, noon.
Valiant, 7 boats and 6 barges, Iron
Age, Z boats and 2 barges, aud Tom
Dodsworth, 6 boats, 2 bargcs aud l
model barge, at 2 o'clock.
Nellie Walton, 10 barges; John Nor
en-, 10 boats, 2 barges: Iron Sides, u
barges; Iom Lysle, 6 barges, and Mar
liner, u barges, at 3 o'clock.
Fred Wilson, Z boats, at 4 O'Clock.
The tom Lysle only went as far as
the Bellaire coal works, where she gave
ner tow to another boat and passed up
at 6 o'clock light. The Volunteer is
due down early this morning with =
'barges.
This makes a total shipment for the
rise up until moo yesterday OF III
coal boats and 100 barges, containing
1881, 900 bushels of coal. Yesterdays
shipments will bring the total mp to
probably 5000. 900 bushels.

A LOST OPPORTUNITY.
The Projected Brass and Copper Roll
ing Mill VIII Not be Erected at
NhapIsno

ing Mill viii Not be Erected mt
Wheeling.
ut is practically certain that Wheel
ing mas lost the opportunity to secure
a brass and copper rolling mill for this
city, about which much has been said
and written of late. and for the O n
summation of which idea there were
great hopes.
Mr.. w. r. Walton, who was greatly
interested in the idea. and who spent
much time and effort in attempting TO
interest business men and capitalists,
has failed in his ~endeavors, and said
last evening that while there was a
modicum of interest he did not see sue
cess N view and that other towns have
taken up the subject with prospects of
success.
This is a matter for regret. Mr..
Walton's seamless tube process and
other specialties he proposes TO carry
on are widely and eagerly sought
after. By his methods sheet copper is
worked up into special appliances for
sugar refineries, breweries, distilleries,
chemical and dye works, confectioners,
preserving factories, and so on, and
there would practically be no compe-
tition. Ccnper wire would also be pro-
duced, as well as sheet and manufac-
tured brass goods. Mr.. Walton says a
factory of this description would give
employment to two hundred and fifty
hands at the outset. and eventually
there would be steady work for many
more.
1t would appear that Wheeling pre-
scented an inviting field for such an
industry, and yet, for some reason UNI
known, the promoters did not receive
the aid and encouragement expected
from the financially endowed portion
of the community.

THE CITY OF PITTSBURG
to the Extent of Several
Thousand Dollars by Fire at Gin

The packet steamer City Of Pitts
burg, one of the most complete and
handsome boats on the Ohio, caught
fire while moored to her wharf at Gin
cinnati Wednesday,, and was damaged
to the extent of several thousand dol
lars. Before the flames could be eX-
tinguished the pilot house and part of
the texas deck had been consumed.
The flames were first discovered by

REST SWEET REST

1t is our sad duty again this week, to
chronicle the sad death of Mrs. Will
lam Walsh, which occurred Monday,
April %, 1901 Mrs. Walsh has been
an invalid for number of years and has
borne her sufferings patiently and her.
orically. During the past winter she
grew worse, but it was thought that
she would survive and be spared to her
loving children and friends, for some
years to come, but the angel of death
came, and bore away another soul, to
the place where there is no more earth
ly sufferings or pain.
Deceased was born in Ireland in 1916
and emigrated to Canada in 1851, where
she resided until eight years ago, when
she together with her husband came to
this city, which has since been her
home Since the death of her husband
in 1896, she has made her home with
her daughter Mrs. Kate Tierny, who
with the aid of sister and brothers,
have been untiring in their efforts to
alleviate the sutferings of the invalid.
She leaves to mourn her loss, Mrs. j..
Shay, of Denver, Col, Mrs. Kate
Tierny, Mrs. M. Moran, John and Pat
rick Walsh of this city, and a large
circle of sorrowing relatives, who have
the heartfelt sympathy of their many
friends in this, their sad hour of ber-
pavement.
The funeral services were held We'd
nesday morning at 10 o'clock from the
Catholic church, Rev. Father Toplaka,
officiating.

Indications are that the bootblsck regula
tIons which were recently formulated by the
Alcslde, have met with the legal opposi
ton Of the Insular authorities. While nc
exception has been taken to the scheme moi
has anyone ever questioned the necessit,
for regulating the boatblacS trade, but th.
authorities have found that the law is moi
complied with when the number of boot
blacks is restricted or when they are confin
ed to certain limited locality. OF course
these subjects might be the object of polio,
regulation, but not at the order Of al
Alcalde. The Attorney General has no
yet rendered his opinion, but the genera
belief is that while there exists q grea
necessity for regulating the bootblack trad,
IN San Juan, the regulations in question
violate the law.
