TWO REAL ESTATE DEALS THURSDAY

Miss Maud Spitler Sells Residence to Geo. Reed and Oren F. Parker Buys Lots.

Two real estate deals in Rensselaer property, both of Which came as surprises to the public and which are of interest to all, were made Thursday. Miss Maud Spit'ler sold her fine residence property on North Van Rensselaer street to George W. Reed and wife, retaining the west 75 feet of the property. The consideration was $6,000, based upon the entire plot of ground, but Miss Spitler allowed S6OO for the portion of the ground she retained, making the price to Mr. Reed $5,400. He gets 75x75 feet of ground and Miss Spitler retains the same sized plot. It is understood that Miss Spitler and her brother, Mayor Charles G. Spitler, consider the erection of a modern flat building on the ground which she retained. Mayor Spitler recently contracted the sale of his property on South Cullen street to Geo. H. Healey. Oren F. Parker, of the firm of Rowles & Parker, who had contemplated building a residence on lots purchased some time ago of Hon. Edwin P. Hammond, of Lafayette, and located at the corner of Washington and Weston streets, Thursday purchased of Mrs. Mary E. Thompson, the north 100 feet of her property at the corner of Washington and River streets and expects to build there; offering his other lots for sale. The consideration for the lots purchased from Mrs. Thompson is understood to be $2,500, wjiieh is $1,250 a lot and probably the highest price ever paid for unimproved residence property in this city. M. Kanne recently paid $2,500 for two lots at the corner of eWston and Cornelia streets, but there was a good sized barn on the lota. Mr. Parker will build a fine residence, probably the best that has been erected in this city for several years.

Mr. and iMrs. J. D. Bresnahan, after an extended visit here with her parents, Mr. and Mrs. Johp English, left yesterday for their home in Wash.

RECOGNITION GIVEN WORK OF SCULPTRESS

Miss Mary Washburn, Now Visiting Here, Has Received New Honors for Art Work.

Miss Mary Washburn came from Chicago Wednesday for a visit W several-davs with her brother. Dr. I. M. Washburn and family. She has just received the very welcome news that a subject of her sculpture had been accepted by the Philadelphia Art Association ' and will be exhibited at the 167th annual art exhibit in that city. This is* the oldest and most exclusive art association in this country and the honor of havng the first subject entered accepted is a considerable one and will be welcome news to her many friends here. A year ago Miss Washburn was honored by having a subject admitted to the Paris, Fiance, art exhibit and she had previously had subjects admitted in Chicago. Her next offer will be to the New York art society and when received there she will have all the recognition that she cares to attain. Her works are now regarded among the best of the present day sculptors and she is enjoying some splendid returns for work, she is doing. Since returning from Paris she has been living in Washington, D. C., until recently when she came to Chicago to do a work in sculpture. Miss Washburn modeled the General Robert H. Milroy statue, which ftas unveiled in Reqsselaer almost three y ears'agoT“

Dan Waymire was the defendant in a suit brought by Orin Pruitt and tried in the Newton circuit at Kentland Wednesday. Waymire sold Pruitt a horse, which he alleged was sound and w r hich Pruitt claimed was.balky. The evidence was very conflicting and Waymire received the decision.- About the most interesting part of the case was the Greeiy Davis poetry which has been read with interest by many people here. The verses are more rythmatic that elegant, however, and we are compelled to decline them space in this paper.
