Adjourned. EW ORE FIELDS. What West Virginians Have to Say. AddreM Before the Chamber of Commerce by (iovernor Matthews. The quarterly meeting of the Chamber of Commerce, for the annual election of officers was held yesterday afternoon.

There was an unusually large attendance, owing to the fact that Governor Matthews of West Virginia, and other persons of distinction, were announced to speak. Ail the old officers were re-elected. President Moorhead announced that hereafter the rule would be enforced that a director who fails four consecutive times to attend the meetings shall forfeit his position. Messrs. Reuben Miller, George 11.

Anderson and Edward Gregg, were appointed a committee to wait upon Governor Matthews at the Monongahela House. A dispatch wa3 read from Mr. ffotehkiss, editor am! proprietor of the Firiw in, a paper devoted to the mining interests of West announcing that owing to missing connection on the trains he could not pet here until to-day. Prof. Kt-rr of North Carolina and Major Cattell, of Stanton, are with Mr.

Hotch-kis. It was decided that an adjourned meeting would he held this afternoou in the rfMjms of the Iron Association, on Fourth avenue, to hear the gentlemen named. In the meantime Governor Matthews appeared, and President Morhead in introducing him referred to the vast mineral deposits of West Virginia, and the importance of their development to Pittsburgh. Go verm Matthews then spoke, au alv-stract of his remarks beinc as follows: "The route of the Pittsburgh Southern railroad I understand to be from Pittsburgh to Morgantown, thence through Monongalia and Marion counties to raf-ton in Taylor county, thence tin Ty part's Valley river through Barborand Randolph counties to Valley Mountain, thence down to Greenbrier river through Pocahontas, Greenbrier and Monroe counties to New river, thence along the New river to some point near the lead mines in Wythecounty, Virginia. No better route than this could, I think, be selected, both on account of the small cost of the construction and because of the valuable minerals and other resources which would he reached and made available to your city." The Governor then went on to give a first.

rbiss boom for the Pittsburgh Southern railroad, aud recited in detail the many vantages which would accrue to Pittsburgh in suoporting and aiding to build thft'road. It is not necessary to give any further particulars of his speech iu this column. Captain John F. Dravo was then called upon for a speech, and healways has something to say that is of interest. He remarked that it Pittsburgh proposes to re-tiin her proud title of the Rirmingham of America, and her manufacturing supremacy, she must make n-e of the ore fields which lie at her door.

Time shown thnt natural routes are inadequate, and artificial routes such as is the Pittsburgh Southern Railroad must-he taken advantage of. The inexhaustible orethhisof West Virginia be made tributary to the prosperity of Pitt-sburgh. Mr. Heuben Miller also made a speech, in which he referred to the folly of bringing iron ore from Spain when West Virginia affords quite as good ore without the necessity of an ocean voyage to bring it here. Mr.

W. W. Martin, Receiver of the Pittsburgh Catrle Shannon Railroad, made a few remarks of the same tenor as those of the previous shakers. Postmaster Anderson theu offered the following resolution, which was adopted: Rrtolr'd. Bv the PitUhunrh t'hainber of O-tn-merte that the thank; ol Uu body be extended to Gurerwr H.

The resolution was amended so as topnt-viile that Governor Matthews speech should be printed in pamphlet form, aud as amended was adopted. The meeting then adjourned to meet in the Iron Association rooms this afternoon. LABOR TROIBI.ES.

Strike mt the KejMone Bridge Works sad lttguene Tannery. At noon yesterday a general strike occurred at the Keystone Bridge Works in JLawrenceville. The demands of the strikers p.re considered most unreason able, owing to the fact that nearly atl ot them received an increase of ten per cent, last week. There were some few who did have their wages ruined because they were benerttted by an increase, several months ago. It is claimed by some of the strikers that this is what incited the strike of yesterday.

An additional ten ier cent, is now demanded by all the employes, some four hundred in Qiimlier. After dinner two hundred of the men resumt! work again, but they were not allowed to remain in the works by the other two hundred, who rhreateued them with violence if they did not join the strike, finally the men gave iu to ihe strikers, aud they all marched down liut-H-r street to Byrne Mct'abe's hall. Here they remained ail with closed doors. The Keystone Company most dVeidedly reluse to pay the additional ten per cent. As soon as the men went out.

orders were at once issued by the President of he Company that every man not returning to work at seven o'clock this morning, will be dh-charged. To prove thai they are in earnest about it, were drawn from the bank yesterday to pay oif all hands to-day who do not return to their usual employment. If the demands of thesrrikers were granted the pay roll of the company would be increased Jftio, nun per year. It is quita likely that a number of the men will resume work to-day. Eight beam hnmW employed at the Ouquesne tannery.

With- out even understanding what the puzzle is, he attempts to palm oti" as a correct solution and his own, one which was published in the New York Herald at least two weeks ago, ami which is not claimed even by that paper to be a true one. Not content with this, he closes with the sublimely conceited request, addressed to the public at large, to give him something harder.

Now, dear 'X," you don't want anything harder. Vou think you do, but you don't. Try this puzIe as everyone else has tried it, and jou will find it hard enough for even your gigantic intellect. Arrange the blocks in numerical ordec, place the fifteen before the fourteen, and then try by shifting ouly to get them in the same order as before the change was made. Is this clear enough, or must we be more explicit for you at last to grap the idea we say mar ir you start with xne numbers arranged in horizontal rows you cannot reach a solution by arranging thein in vertical rows; nor if the vacant place is in the bottom row at first it cannot le in any other row when you tinih, without I violating conditions stared.

They Inwtrnct Their Reprenentatl vea In Conncil to Vote for tbe Or dinaiire ow Pendluy. Nearly three hundred citizens of the Fifteenth, Sixteenth ami Seventeenth wards assemble 1 at Byrne and McCabe's Hall on Butler street last night, for the purpose of discussing the ordinance abolishing the Fire Commission, which is uow peuding before Councils. r. W. J.

Fennerty was called to the Chair. Mi motion of Councilman J. J. Vlon-nell, a committee consisting of M. J.

Mc-Cann, C. C. Kelly, Thomas Thomas, Henry Iaub aud A. C. Hover, was apiMjinted to prepare business for tbe meeting.

The committee retired and during their absence the audience was addressed by several gentlemen, first of whom was J. j. O'Donnell. He said that he thought it was about time the citizens of Pittsburgh f-hould go to work with the pruning knife and endeavor to do some gtod in this line. h.verv where un our c.tv people are daily askmg how the htirh taati.

The y-ut U-niail stated, liowever. that, he would vote for or against the ordinance, as he was instructed by the petple of his ward.

FIRE rOMM LS.SH IFM F.I. Councilman W. tT. Feunerf 1 think it is about time rhe pruning knife should be used, ami our taxes thereby lightened. In my opinion the Fire Commission has done more harm than good and should be abolished at once.

And not only this one but all commissions. A voice The Citv Hall Commission, also Mr. Fennert Yes, it and all other commissions. I admit that if the Fire Commission was composed of good business men it would be a success and a blessing to the city, but our present commission loes not consist of that kind of individuals. We all know that, an enterprise laved in the hands of this class of men would be conducted with far more economy than by politicians.

From year to year the police have been reduced, but not the firemen. The secret of this is that certain influence can be brought to bear upon the police department which cannot be on the Fire Commission. Our fire department is very eihVient, but I believe it could be managed with far less money than is now required. The committee now returned to the hall, and Mr. Me.Cann ode red as its report the following KMPlfATH' RF.SOL1TION "Whkre.vs.

He declared that all other departments hut the tire had tften cut down. At the head of this department there, are nine men who are not controlled by ounci's or the people, aud consequently they never make a report of their doiturs.

Among these papers were a petition of Nicholas Hevl for dam-aces resulting to his cellar by the bursting of a vab'r main and an ordinance regular-ingthe granting of permits tor the er ction of wood a buildings.

A DEFICIENCIES. A member of the Water Committee pre sented a resolution authorizing the payment of 54,534 to certain officers and era-nloyes of the Water department, the amount being due as salaries for January last. The resolution required the payment- to be made out of the contingent fund, and brought up the question of deficiencies.

Mr. Pier objected that, the claims could not be legally in'de, as the committee had last year exceeded their appropriation, and ConnciU had no right to make an appropriation for defi ri-ncies of last year. Th Chair thought a two-thirds vote would be required to pass the resolution Jiinee it rtrovided for the payment of debts contracted without previous authority of law. Mr. Shipton statel that the Control ler wO(itl ref'ie to sign any warrant for last year's deficiencies until the legality of the question be sttled.

He thouirht the resolution should he passed so tint a tet case could Ims mal out. He also hehl that Councils hal already virtually provide! for tha pavment of the doiencie- bv putting rhe money into the Contingent Fund, and held that a two-thirds vote would therefore not be required. The Chair decided to take the vote on the resolution and allow the Controller to dncide the two-thirds point as well as the legality question tor himself. The vote was therefore taken and aye, res. 9.

Messrs. Thomas Brown. Cook, Fnnerty, lliilav, Gee, Nisbett. Pier and Tbomoson voted in in the negative. The resolution was declared passed.

The $141, 000 temporary loan bonds which mature this year were stncKen out ot thi: ordinance and will be refunded with the b-ilanc flirt street debt.

The Clerk of North Side Markets, James Moore, will get pr year, and an increase of $50 per year is allowed to the constable and sweeper of the Fifth Avenue Market, because the will perform duties which heretofore were uerforroed bv two men.

O'Donnell then moved to amend the bill so as to make it apply to outidrs who saell goods here by sample, Mr. Shipton stated that clothing dealers came bre, sold many thousand dollars worth of goods in a month or wo, anil left without paying any tax or license to the city.

The Chancellor of the Exchequer 011 announcing in the House of Commons that the Queen had been advised to dissolve Parliament, said he thought it desirable to state the views of the Government regarding the dissolution.

They were that urgent measures regarding Ireland were now in so forward a state that the rpiestiun could be decided and that, a spring dissolution was always better than an autumn one. The Government therefore had advised the Queen to dissolve Parliament at. Easter, He said the new Parliament could meet the lie-ginniug of May. He expressed the hope the House would co-operate with the Government to enable them to accomplish the necessary work be tore dissolurion. He promised to introduce the Rudget for Thursday next and said the bill in relation to th six vacant seats in be ouse won id be withdrawn.

The Irish Relief bill passed iu both Houses ot Parliament. Jn the House of Lords, Lord Reaeonsfield stared: When he'Chance! lor of Exchequer had made his financial statement in the House of Commons, hich he hopes to immediately and when arrangements befitting the occasion are complete the Queen would he advised to devolve Parliament.
