THE REAL ESTATE LETTER'.'

EASTWARD TBE*D OF RDIIXEM IX PIC ATE* A UOO» UBOWTH. Is*.-**

The Put Wttk was Dnll—All Pr*p »rty Is Earatnc a ti««l *»ewe»||? tage on Ike Money. ipi

The past week has continued the winter dullness in the transfer* of real estate. Nearly every piece of improved property the city is earning an income. There are no vacant houses to apeak of Every business store-room on Main street from the river to Fourteenth street i& occupied, or under repairs for a tenant, with the possible exception of one room in Mr. Mayer's new block which has never been occupied. The stores vacated between Fourth and Fifth street* are undergoing repaint. The opportunity for repairing serves them not amiss for It is difficult to remember when one of the store rooms was vacant before.

As these buildings are so soon filled with tenants, the opinion prevails that the eastward trend of business is a growth more than a removal. Should some of the western store rooms remain vacant it would be evident that Main street was overbuilding, that rent would probably decline for a time until the city had grown in her demand for business space. It may be stated for the present that all of improved Main street is required to do the business of Terre Haute. Demand will soon also close up the remaining vacant ground, fay in two or three years. Then Home of the poorer buildings must come down and taller ones go up.

NOTES.

The recent extensions of the city limits will bring into the city quite a number Of five acre tracts to which the following law regarding taxation will apply: "Lands lying within the limits oi any city or incorporated town that are not platted as city or town property and are not used for other than agricultural purposes or are wholly unimproved shall not be taxed in such dty or town for all purposes at a higher aggregate percentage upon the appraised value thereof than the aggregate percentage of the tax levy in the civil township wherein such property is situated." This law length" ens the arm of property that reaches out after the unearned increment However, there has not been any abuse of this law in Terre Haute. But few tracts have claimed ex emption from taxes. A law very similar to this was formerly in force in Ohio, the law applying to tracts less than five acres. A storm of indignation was raised in Cleveland because the millionaires on Euclid avenue had been careful to buy sufficient ground to get the benefit of the law. Ground that was worth several hundred dollars per front foot was taxed at farm rates. After a bitter fight the Legislature repealed the law. Generally speaking any law that gives an exemption from a full share of public burden is wrong.

The practice of buying a lot on time and giving the seller a mortgage second to Uie first mortgage of building and loan associations has run to seed in the minds of some people who tbiufc they are in the market as purchasers. Recently a man wished to buy ft lot and asked the owner to sell him the lot wholly on time and agree to take a second mortgage whenever tho purchaser could make a loan from a building society. Tho purchaser stated that he was not yet a member of any building association but would take some share* if he could buy the lot his way. It is necessary to become a member of a society first and after it is possible to make a loan from the society, then it is time to talk about buying a lot. Or buy a lot first and after it la paid tor join a society.

It is a cause of wgrH to know that the handsome double residence house on the corner of Eigth and Ohio streets built by Dr. Gerstmeyer is riot altogether satisfactory as an investment. This house is the best that has been at %mptod in Uie city. It is provided with ail modern conveniences, has gas, water closets, bath rooms, furnaces and electric bells. The rooms are large and are all thai could be desired as regards light The cost ol the house was $10,000.00, the ground is rated as worth *4,000,00. This investment pava about four per cent net There can be no doubt that the property will^e permanent and is likely to increase its Income. Nevertheless for the improvement of our city it wouldf be better to know that such buildings would pay as weli a* lending tho money out at interest

The question of central and outside or intermediate residence property does not necessarily require the same answer to values as the ease of business property. As herein stated the Oewtemeyer property pay# a low per cent on the iaveet* ment Nevertheless residence property near the center of the city is most secure in its value, thai is as far a* the value is in tho realty and not in poor Improvements, Hie greatest inem** in value will come to outakie residence iotf, the increase generally comes quick due to street-car facilities, is soon over *sd ft permanent value fixed for hood. intermediate jmiperty ia theuftet undatable a* rewrd* increasing values.

Mr. Burnett has for several years been well known in fire insurance circles, and had a host of friends and a wide range of business and social acquaintances. He quite recently resigned wis position with the Franklin Insurance Company, and had accepted a position with the Public Opinion Company as traveling representative, leaving tho city on his first trip just a week ago. Ho had stopped two days in Baltimore and reached Philadelphia Friday last. Mr. Presbrey, manager of Public Opinion, received a letter from him Monday, in which hs spoke encouragingly of bis business, and noted his plans for the present week's work. Mr. Burnett was of a happy, genial disposition, made friends quickly and retained them. He had been & successful young business man and was devoted to whatever he was engaged in, not allowing himself to be diverted from his line of duty by anything suggestive of a fast life. While in Washington his evenings were invariably spent in the home circle, of which he was tne for his cause for the rash act —, letters, it will probably never be known. [This is a deserved tribute to a most excellent and lovable young man but the statement that he left no letters is a mistake. He wrote a beautiful and touching letter to his family giving the cause for the act he was about to commit as it has been stated in the daily papers.

The most desirable feature about the carefully-constructed stable is that the facilities for ventilation are such that dryness and cleanliness about the place are insured. Four or five large ventilators admit fresh air in great abundance to the garret above meatiooe*!, and smaller ventilators in the ceiling regulate the amount that reaches the horses. The institution is very complete in every detail and very handsome.

NEW GAS STOVE.

The I'ni^ne Invention of l.o«l* l. dir, of This City. I^ouls H. Calder, of this city, has completed an invention in the shape of a gas burner for heating and cooking purposes, which is one of the most ingenious and successful devices of the kind known to the mechanical world. It is pre-emi-nently superior, so far as superficial observation is able to detect, to the ordinary gasoline stove and to every other invention of the kind. The owners of the burner, which is attached to an iron framework exactly similar to that of a gasoline stove, claim for, their consummated household convenience innumerable advantages over all of its competitors, and apparently not unjustly.

The fluid used in this stove principally is coal oil, a gallon of which will run two burners constant!v for twelve or fourteen hours. The oil is* placed in an elevated tank—similar to that in which the gasoline is placed in stoves of the latter variety—posses down and is vaporized in what called a "stand pipe." then goes red-hot

*..« passes shot upward through a mixing chamber, or air-retort, from which it issues to be ignited and create a beautiful blue flame that creepa through the peiforated bur-ner-top and makes a clear, odorless, exceedingly hot fire. The burner becomes red-hot and one could scarcely imagine a more charming sight than it presents in a darkened room.

By a trivial change in tho ingenious mechanism, fuel gas, gasoline, manufactured gas or natural gas may boused in it But the patentees *.\y that the standard fuel for it is coal oil that the gas of the latter, after pawing through the air-retort and becoming mixed with air, secures perfect combustion and that it is absolutely without danger of explosion.

Mr. Calder was engaged on the invention for a year and tour months before he accomplished his present perfected Move. It is a very remarkable thing and will be on exhibition in the window of the Townley Stove Company this afternoon and night

The headquarters of the Calder Oil« Gas Stove Company is at 910 South Seventh atreet St Ixuia» Mo. A large numbet of the stoves have been manufactured and are ready to be put on the market

NORTH DAKOTA'S LOTTERY BILL. It Is Severely Condemned By These In Aathorlty.

BISUABCK, N. D.,

WASHINGTON*,

Febraary 8.—[Spe

cial.] The Sand ager Lottery bill was read the find time In the House yesterday. It will be rasd the second time to-day. Its passage is regarded as certain. Governor Miller will veto It, but it is thought the majority will be large enough to paaa it over his veto,

Postmaster-General Wanamaker said, with reference to this subject: "If this kind of legislation is to succeed, Congress must be invoked to enact laws to suppress this iniquitous business everywhere." "I was astonianed beyond measure," said Attorney-General Miller to-day, "to hear that any bill of that kind had cone through one branch of the North Dakota Legislature. 1 had hoped and believed that the day for the chartering of new lotteries had gone by. I had supposed that the only reason for the existence of a lottery anywhere in the Fnited States was the fact that it had become by a sort of a proscription so entrenched in some localities that it could not be easily removed. That the Louisiana state lottery, for instance, is a great public evil, 1 think, is generally conceded, and I as little expected the Legislature of North Dakota to sanction a lottery as that the Legislature of Massachusetts would legalise polygamy."

REMARKABLE RUNAWAY-

A Uroeer's Delivery Horse Performs a Wonderful Feat This Morning. A horse belonging to Addison W. Bell, the grocer, and driven by Elmer Banaford, ran away this morning, and in doing so performed a rather marvellous feat The horse got away from the driver and started at full speed up the street It bad gone only a short distance when a vehicle in front obstructed the way. and the frightened horse veered to the left, dashed between two trees bringing the delivery wagon safely behind—and took directly up the sidewalk. The space between the fence and the trees was barely sufficient to allow the wagon to pass if guided with faultless precision, and yet that frenzied animal successfully ran the gauntlet for nearly a block, emerging finally into across street, where he was caught and where it waa found that both wagon and horse escaped without a scratch,
