FIRST YEAR.

IN Ol'RREALESTATK MARKET.

Myer Bros., the clothiers, nineteen lots it fronting on Collett Park and on Seventh and Eighth street*. The consideration was $5,500 paid in cash, or $290 for each lot. Property in the north end is certainly climbing up to a magnificent figure. Friends of the north side argue that there is something in the nature oi men which impel to the growth of cities toward the north in choice of any other directum, just as it in natural to a fly to walk upward instead of downward on a window glass.

The lowest rate of interest ever made upon mortgage loan by home money has just been given to a resident borrower. A loan of $18,009 was made for two yearn at six and one-half per cent Foreign money competed for this loan, but while it was haggling about increased Hccurity home capital »lep|ed in and took the risk. I It is now time to. l» ghi figuring how I long it will be that the savings bank can pay to it* depositors at the nite of live per cent. per annum. This loan was not made by the savings hank. Although iho bank had the money on hand it I could not figure out to itself any profit in paying five ier cent, and getting only six #.and one-half.

It will also be well to figure how long central Main street property tain go lagging for purchasers when the property can lie shown to ei»rn~4en }er cent grew® income reliably netting exclusive of tuxes, insurance and repairs fully six and one-half per cent on the purchase price, jg, Surely property all along Wabash avenue must soon advance if home nnnev is to remain as low as six and one-half fer cent and pay taxes.

This week circular letter* have been thrown about tlie streets, setting forth the glories and resourreH of f'itlsburg, KanM[m, In that wonderful town steam coa! km be had for 40 cents per ton. How An any sane man expect this fact to be nb inducement to Terre Haute capital to go there. Has not our own Board of Trade been harping upon the same song? Assteaui coal at 40 cent* per ton seems to draw no foreigners into our town to manufacture, it ia the happy thought of some western boomer to try our own medicine u|Kn ousel ves and endeavor to lead us away by our own bait. We congratulate Pittsburg upon her cheap coal, but beg to suggest that cheap coal is not euomrh to make a city boom. The right kind of men is more to a town than cheap fuel. However, we are not complaining of our Board of Trade.

Tom Nanus has just returned from Duluth, where he invested two years ago }j*00 in a town lot. The object of this i_i trip was to sell, which object he aecomplished, receiving $l,lo0 in the sale. lie immediately reinvested $1,000 of this money in another lot in more promising jwirt. of the dtv.

of Claton's ex

perience about Duluth real estate, l^oth formerly occupied one oOlee on Main street.

Everybody hears of the fortunate investment made abroad. If is the mission of agent.* of foreign mil estate to spread the word. Hut how hushed and concealed is the other side, A promising voting man of this city lost last season I 1,000 in a Kansas town. No real estate man uses hi* name and lie himself is very quiet. Another young man having an excellent business and good social standing, forsook all to become a western millionaire. He now wanders from town to towu with little money and less society. "How many ju'ople in this city know that within the last two yearn several times as much Terrv 11 ante money has hwn lost in •.•{Southern California as in the unsuecess-! ful oil wells of this summer. The croakers who have kept Having that Terre

Haute would be flat alter the oil failure, do not know what they are talking alxnit. The man who goes abroad to invest his dollars only receives that increase which jM*ril attaches to every venture. His earnings represent both interest ami the premium of insurance worthy of the risk. Our oil excitement merely kept our oil money from going abroad. Terre Haute is a wealthy ami magnificent city else could not each veareieate volume* of money for western speculative themes.

This money kept at uomc would soon t&uul us 1 wining.

DUNN'S REPORT.

The PhaMHi of th« Baslnem Hilui'.lion

I has been working closer during the past

large. The foreign situation lias not essentially changed. There is scarcely any evidence"©! important movement of securities either way, but the sale of the Minneapolis flour mills and Northwestern elevators to an English syndicate for $5,2-30,000 is a sample of many industrial operations in progress, which in the aggregate bring a vast amount of foreign capital into the country. The volume of business continues very large, though signs of a reaction begin to appear at some of the larger centers of distribution.

The movement of products, and building operations are also unusuallv active at many cities. Liquidation in trust stocks continues, ivailroad stocks have been stubbornly helfl and average in price almost exactly as they did a week ago.

Speculation in breadstuffe has advanced lie and corn 2|c on sales of 25,000,000 and 10,000,000 bushels respectively, but exjKirts do not. increase. Oil has advanced 32c, oats fc and cotton ic, notwithstanding port receipts continue larger than last year both receipts and ex|Krts showing gains of 40,000 bales for the week. Coffee has declined a onefourth upon larger crop reports' from Brazil. The sugar market is only nominal and prices of refined are not well maintained, but the trust stock has been more firmly supported. Another corner in tin is feared, the price being 211 cents. Coal has been stiffened by cooler weather, but still sells about 10 cents below circular prices.

Iron and steel in all forms are in great demand, firmly held, wi ha shade of advance in bar iron and nails, but the feeling is expressed that the improvement lias been too rapid to be maintained and some reaction is deemed possible.

The accounts from other cities are unusually encouraging. The business failures during the last seven days number, for the United States, 22li, and for Canada, :»2, or a total of 225 last week, and 22:! the week previous to the last. For the same week last year the figures were 24U for the United States and 32 in the Dominion of Canada.

NATIONAL BANK STATEMENT UovrrnniNtl DcpovlfM llerronitrd JO Her Ccnl. in (h- l»n*t Year. WASUI-SUTON, D. L\, November 2.—[Special. }™-The National hank statement issued yesterday gives some interesting points. It shows that the government deposits in the national banks of the country sre now only $41,000,000 against $52,000",(100 at this time last year. This reduction of 20 per eeut. iu the deposits of the government funds in the national banks is a matter that has been the subject of much discussion by financiers and seems to indicate a determination on the pnrt of the administration to withdraw these deposits gradually but so imperceptibly as to produce no marked effect in the" reduction of the circulating medium. Another interesting feature is the steadv reduction of the volume of national bank currency. The amount in circulation of national bank notes is but $12S,000,000 against $KJ1,000,000 a vear ago and against $1141 000,000 when it was at its highest jaunt 1X73. There is a steadv decrease on the circulation of national banks year by year and a much greater increase in the circulation of silver certificates. While national bank currency has lieen decreasing at the rate of $25,000,tM)0 per year for the past two veare or more, silver certificates have been increasing at more than double this rate and mcrre than filling the void in the circulating medium made by the withdrawal of bank currency. The silver certificates in circulation now are $277,000,(XH) against $220,000,(XXI a year ago and $10(5,000,000 two years ago.

I HANDSOMELY ENTERTAINED.

i*ous, November 1.—The

American Delegates were handsomely entertained and seemed highly pleased with their visit. After driving about the city and partaking of an elaborate lunch Governor Hovey welcomed the delegates. He said that the public mind was concerned alxmt the three questions, commerce, navigation and arbitration, which would come before the congress. He had been in Peru when

Spain

had sought

to fasten the shackles on that country and his heart was giad as any Peruvian when the Spanish squadron retired. We had no room for European forces here. Commerce could never be free until the carrying trade was so perfected that3 we could compete with Europe. Friendship, love and patriotism could not change the profit and loss account. 31iivor Denny welcomed the visitors to the city of Indianapolis—the home of the President of the United States.

Were

Colonel Thomas H. Nelson, who had been in diplomatic missions in Spanish states, briefly welcomed the visitors and assured them that they were now in a state that stood highest and fir^t in all that constitutes the highest civilization. He referred to the growth of the, Argentine Republic, and affirmed that in Buenos Ayres was daily published more newspapers than in any other city in the world, Ixmdon and New York not excepted. The speaker regarded the coming conference in its moral, social, business and commercial relations, as the most important ever held on this planet.

Senor Velarde, of Bolivia hoped that the unity which nature had realized would be" realized commercially and socially and in such a union of independence and profound affection among the nations of America, as would make of them one whole body.

Delegate Henderson spoke of the importance of establishing railroad communication with Central and South America, and again suggested that it might be done by land grants. Canadian friends were a little jealous, but when we had. completed tliis railroad they would ask to* participate ia the prosperity enjoyed by their southern neighbore." This would unite the snows of the south with the snows of the north. Then would follow an extension of the railroad through to Alaska, and the day was coming when a man might go from Brazil to Tendon without going to sea. The wool of the Argentine .Republic would not come in competition with our own, but if it does, then we will arrange it so that we will receive it free if they take it back from us ,free of dut^.when we manufacture it.

Delegate Studebaker hoped that the congress would result in an arrangement wherebv trade between the countries of the Americas would be as free as between the states of this union,'and he would work to that end.

Mr. Pima, of the Spanish American Commercial Union, proposed a toast to American womanhood, which was enthuBWStinilly received.

FALLEN FROM HIGH ESTATE.

Prefer* it Possible Death to Imprisonment. NKW YORK, November 2.—[Special.]— CONFICT Stanislaus Berkiewitch, the alleged Russian lieutenant of dragoons, who was arrested recently for snatching a purse from a lady in a public place and again arrested two days ago on suspicion of stealing a

quantity

of valuable rings

which he was endeavoring to sell to the jewelers, seems determined to make himself an interesting criminal. At the time of the first arrest lie claimed to be a friend ofmanv distinguished persons, among them being Oliver Wendell Holmes, and largely through sympathy for his supposed" fallen condition he was acquitted. This morning while being taken to police headquarters on Third Avenue on the elevated train in charge of a detective the prisoner snatched himself from tlie detective's grasp while the train was stopping at a station ami running the entire length of tlie platform endeavored to board another train just moving out,"but was pushed back by the guard. He then escaped to the track and climbing over tlie rail jumped to the walk below. His fall was somewhat broken by the network of wire but he landed with sufficient force to

break

here he would, as a citizei^. be first among those who warmly welcomed the strangers here.

both legs and injure

himself severely otherwise. He was sent ih an ambulance to the hospital. He told the officers he preferred to take the chances of his perilous attempt rather than go to prison. This was his second attempt at escape, having broken away from the ofiicers and tried to jump out of the window yesterday in the police conrt. rvt -v

TERRIBLE DISASTER AT GLASGOW.

Falling Hoof 'ru*l»e* Filly «omen nml Iris. ("II.ASOOW,* November 2.—During the high winds which prevailed here to-day a gable of a building in course of erection, on the site adjoining Tenipleton's carpet factory, on William street, was blown down. Jhe falling debris crushed through the roof of the weaving department of the carpet factory, where fifty women and girls were employed, and all were buried beneath the broken timbers, etc. It is probable that, forty of the inmates of the weaving room were kiled.

At midnight seventeen bodies have been recovered from the ruins. As ntarly as can be ascertained, thirty-three women aud girls are still missing. The wrecked building was 1500 feet long. It is rumored that the foundation of that portion of the building which fell was over an abandoned coal pit. Survivors relate that a sudden extinguishment of the lights in the weaving department was the only warning they had of the disaster.

At 1 o'clock this (Saturday) morning seventy-five bodies had been recovered, and the number of missing ones is now placed a#thirty. The search for the remaining lj0Ses is now going on as rapidlv as posatblk with the aid of electric lights. |Aii I iifortnnatc Moulder.

A man named Newton Be vis, claiming to be from Jifadison county, Ind., went through the car shops to-day soliciting contributions to a fund wherewith he wished to purchase an electric battery. He was paralyzed in the left side and walked with great difficulty. He claimed to be a moulder by trade and souarht tlie assistance of fellow-craftsmen. He said that he had started to the Hot Springs of Arkansas some weeks ago, hoping to be benefitted by that water, but that, upon reaching St. Ijouis he was advised by nhvsieians to return home and undergo tle(trt« treatment.

Madnin'fl Private Xeoretnrr. WASHINGTON, November 1.—This is an era of private secretaries. Not only do all public officials of note have private secretaries, but all busy private individuals, as well. Even the wives of public men are securing the services of stenographers. Mrs. I^evi P. Morton has engaged the services of Miss Nellie Hunt as private secretary. Miss Hunt is the daughter of Garfield's.Secretary of the Navy and Arthur's Minister to Russia, who died at the latter post. She is a charming vocalist and a general favorite. Miss Hunt held the position of private secretary to Mrs. Whitney.

MILTOX, W. Ya., November 2.—[Special.]—Reports have reached here of another bloody fight between the Hatlield's and McCoys. Last night a party of about 30 of the McCoy ame across the Blumfield camp in the woods about six miles from Green Shoals. The McCoys crept through a dense underbrush and fired a volley into the camp which included about twenty persons. The fire was immediately returned and the Hatfields, though taken by surprise, soon repelled the McCoys, being better armed. Half a dozen men were wounded and two killed, however, by the one volley of the McCoys. Among the killed were John Blumfield, one of the leaders, and Edwin Brown, the son of the woman recently shot. W. Fudgesereek. one of the wounded men, was fatally hurt. When ^daylight came two more ." dead McCoys were found and four seriously wounneu men were captured bv the llatfields and it is thought still others were wounded. The captured prisoners are Charles Ijimbkin, Pete McCoy, John Cain and Cain.

The latter whose first name is not known, was so badly wounded he wras left to die where he lay. But the other three men were taken to Hatfield's headquarters where it was unanimously determined to shoot them to-day unless they should be rescued by the McCoys which is not likely. The courier who brought this news was, shot at twice from ambush while riding through Lincoln county. ,/'• Harlan .tlaajMiere Confirmed.
