PTTTSBURG BLOCK HOUSE
 MAY SOON BE MOVED
Cel0niai MonVmesat, About Which So / Much DiseusslOn Has Waged. Now fin the Midst oS PIftsburg
 Freight Yards.

Pittsburg, Nov. l7.--Hpw to preserve the only remaining monument of Brit ish occupation in this region is a prob- lem that Is agitatpng the press and public of Pittsburg. Tn an effort to keep an old block house. built in 1764, wfere 1t now stands, in the midst of the busiest and most congested section Of the city, the Daughters of the Ameri- can Revolution has lost the first skir- mish In the courts This forecasts the removal of the house to some site where 1t will be safe from damage and decay and Where it can be seen by vis- itors.
 The historic lifre building is sur rounded, except from narrow strip of land connecting 1t with Penn Avenue. by the freight yards of the Pennsyl- vania Railroad It was proposed to, re- move the Block House to some public paik--the plan adopted with William Penn's Cottage in Philadelphia--but the offer was rejected by the D. A. R., who own the Block House
 The Block House was built during the stormiest period of the war between the English and the Indians one hundred and forty-two years ago. Pontiac's g war had broken out the year before, lf6S. Fort Pitt which then stood on the present site of Pittsburg, was as- sailed by the Indians It looked as if the garrison was doomed to death when Col. Henry Bouquet was sent to it's re- lief. On the way he defeated a large body of Indians, and after this reverse they gave up the siege of Fort Pitt and fled.
 It was in the summer of l764 that Colonel Bouquet built the Block House. as an outpost to Fort Pitt. It is cu- rious little structure, built of heavy af xErIf An1. Ca. On all sides the ground has been raised to higher level, so that the building Is in hollow. Just to the north of 1t are the new Pennsylvania terminal warehouses and platforms. To the east of the house are the ends of tracks which can go no further on account of it. If the tiny piece of land could be secured it would mean the handling of hundreds of tons more freight in a day in badly congested district
 The land on which the building stands was given to the Daughters of the American Revolution by Mrs. Mary E. Schenley twelve years ago. Later, the rest of the block was obtained by the Pennsylvania Railroad for a freight terminal, demanded by the commercial interests of Pittsburg. The suit just thrown out of court was brought by the D. A. F. to enjoin the railroad from .opstlucthk O AAaIb avenue AhoE- oughfare proposed but never opened. The court has decided that the Daugh- ters have no rights as to 'oHara Ave- nue."
 Everybody realizes that the Block House is valuable historic relic and ought to be preserved; only the D, A. K. hold the opinion that the real purpose of preservation would not be better achieved by having this remnant of pre- revolutionary days removed to some environment more suitable than 8 freight yard

 Richardson bought an old cannon ball from a negro who found 1t at the site of the old fort. It is now in the pos session of pr. B. l. Wyrnan of Tus- caIoosa
 John Crommeliu, who is in charge of the Crommelin estate near the old fort and who is. perhaps, more familiar with it's condition and the condition of the country that surrounds 1t, Is of the opinion that the point between the two rivers was large burying ground of the Indians long before the coming of the French. He is of the opinion that if intelligent excavation were done, the work would be re- rewarded by rare and valuable finds of relics.
 Mir. Crommelin has taken a special interest in the place ever since he hunted over it as a boy, and he has come into the possession of many val uable relics.
 Silver Hitcher round There IS for Instance, a handsome silver pitcher in the possession of the |cromnielin family. which was found near the old fort by a negro, and which was no doubt used by some French officer. He 1.as found count less arrowheads and rare tomahawxs, upon the place. He has seen perfect bits of pottery recovered from the lsurroundfng earth. In the main the recovery of this old pottery is rare. For when 1t is discovered and an att tempt made to dig 1t out 1t crumbles to pieces. The ground today, where | 1t is broken by the washing of rain water is filtered with broken Indian relics.
 Not so many years ago. Mir Crom- melin was acc6stomed 10 find bits of old bones and human teeth, but these finds are not now frequent All of this is within eye-sight of the ancient foxt.
 In the State Department of Archives and History at the Capitol there is a queer piece of brass ordnance found at the rnins of the old fort. As it now stands in the department of Dr. Owen, this little old brass cannon has engraved on 1t the name De Soto." but 1t is generally believed, in fact known. that the piece IS of later date It was no doubt left on Alabama soil by the French spiders wno garrisoned Fort Toulouse. The piece is foot long and weighs nearly a hundred pounds. It is equipped with brass hand hold, by which 1t can be carried in the hands of q strong man or strung over the bacleNof mule. 1t is equipped with a toueh hole and Is supposed to have, been fired by a soldier who held IL dBdfHSt ms tuibn Wntie ne appASu the match This ancient piece of ord- nance was found at the ruins Of the old fort by negro who sold 1t to Judge Gaddis of Wetumpka, from whom 1t passed into the keeping of the Department of Archives and History.
 Such today Is the condition of the French fort of Toulouse and the Amer ican fort Jackson, and such are some of the relics of it's ricn history.
 Tn second article an attempt S-iIl be made to tell it's story, so rich in history, fin romance, in mutiny and in murder.

Evangelist Robertson continues his
meetings at the Presbyterian church

There is nothing. so easily affected by
the Thermometer as the average

works ali day in his store or Office
without a fire, but shivers at the
thought of a steam heated church.
No one need stay away from Mr.
RObertson's services for fear Of be.
ing cold, for his sermons are decidedly
warm. In fact the future he pictures
for some people is considerably warm
er than is comfortable.
The sermons of yesterday we're
practical discussions addressed to the
intelligence or his hearers, parsuadins
them to lead the higher life. There
is nothing more practical than self
sacrifice and no subject in all the BIZ
bic so well suited 10 illustrate it with
Abraham's sacrifice of Isaac which
is found in the twenty-second chap

Of yesterdays sermon and any one
