Ohio Ship Canal Authorized.
The bill to incorporate the Lake Erie
and Ohio River Ship Canal company
was passed in the house by the vote of
1856 to 81. Chairman Davidson {Rep.,
Wis., of the committee en- railways and
canals said this would be the last link
in the chain Of waterways from New
York to New Orleans over which the
commerce of twenty four states could
go and, ''as canals everywhere have
proved to be, would be regulator of
railway rates." Leader Williams of
the majority said he suspected that the
franchise had already been turned over
to the Pennsylvania railroad or some
other railroad interest at Pittsburg.
His objection to the bin was that the
government surrendered its power over
a river and harbor Improvement to a
private corpora ton. Mr.. DalZell (Rep..
Pag, who is the author of the bill, de-
ciared it to be great national project,
the construction of which would not
cost the government penny. He said
that the idea of connecting the lakes
and the Ohio had been advocated as
far back as 1924, when the government
made the first surveys.

Although no hard coal has been re-
coiycd in Wilmington this week. il is be-
liovcd. according 10 statements made by
some OF the leading retailers this morning,
That. by "a ludiciOus arrangement which
has been agreed upon. the local demand
con Dee taken care Of for several weeks az
least, by which time much ol the imme-
date necessity for coal consumption will
bc removed
In Wilmington there are 2S coal dealers
and nearly all Of them have decided 20
sell only one ton 90 . customer, by which
arrangement. it is thought, al can be
taken caro- Of until the weather becomes
warmer As yet there has been no gen
Grad advance in price
AZ the office Of one OF the leading
dealers, this morning IL was learned that
the daily average output Of coal, during
April for the past five years, AZ that yard
was 40 tons, a total of 2i0 % week, and
as that is about one-sixth of the total for
nll of the dealers. the demand is rated at
about 800 tons week for the entire
city 10 has not been ascertained how
much coal Is on hand, but the reporter Is
informant said he believed that. By selling
only one ton 10 customer. the supply
would last az least three weeks
A hopeful view Is taken Of the outlook, al
though IL is characterized by uncertainty.
About 10000 tons are in storage at
different points on the coal roads. but
no effort will be made to distribute this
until il IL definitely known what the
miners are going 10 do. This will be held
In reserve until IL is necessary TO use it.

New York City and points in that vicinity,
but other places will also get a large
supply and some will come to Wilmington.
In anticipation Of a probability OF
trouble at the mines, the local dealers
stocked their yards pretty well about a
month ago and have placed several large
orders since then, but the continued cold
weather during March, which was unex
pecied, had the effect Of making the coal
business unusually brisk Had Il not
been for this abnormal demand because
Of the cold weather, the stock Of coal
would have been larger than It is, but
even with that demand the supply has
been kept up pretty well, as the dealers
had their stock replenished as rapidly AZ
possible when they found a heavy de-
mand. Nearly all of the dealers have
placed orders at the mines The lOcal
deliveries are delayed because Of the rush.
The indications are that there will be
no serious trouble with respect TO soft coal

Coming Apart.
Adam SobuchinsSy Of HOP Cade street
caused excitement about $40 this morn
ing, by making an attempt to put coat
ing OF tar upon the roof of his house and
as "A result the district fire companies vert
summoned TO his house and hundreds o
people rushed to the scene Mr. Sobuchiu-
sky placed the tar in large sheet iror
can and built fire under IL. The heat
soon melted the sOldered bottom Of the
can and allowed the tar to run down upon
the fire. The blaze and smoke were so
alarming that people ran, crying "hre.
George Graham of Thirteenth and Heald
streets turned in an alarm from box No. 50
The district companies responded, but the
Independence Co. threw earth on the fire
and put 1t out before the other companies
arrived
1t was a singular coincidence that this
was the morning for testing box No. 50.
and shortly after the fire the box was
tested by the city lnemen, which caused
many to think that it was a general alarm:
the box being near the Pullman Co. Is plant.
some people thought the fire was whore
serious than it was.
A slight fire occurred late yesterday
afternoon in the yard at Bishopstead. the
home of Bishop Leighton Coleman, at
Fourteenth and Orange streets. caused bv
some rubbish, which was being burned in
the yard, setting fire 20 an old unused
chickenhouse. The Brandywine Fire
Co. was summoned and the fire was ex-
tnguished without difficulty. The
damage was slight.
