SLEEP OF THE BRAVE.
How sleep the brave, who sink to rest,
By all their country's wishes blessed!
"When spring, with dewy fingers cold.
Returns to deck their hallowed mold,
She there shall dress a sweeter sod
Than Fancy's feet have ever trod.
By fairy hands their knell is rung;
By forms un6een their dirge is sung;
There Honor comes, a pilgrim gray.
To bless the turf that wraps their day;
And Freedom shall awhile repair.
To dwell a weeping hermit there.
William Collin.
THE fair of Post 151 at Salisbury Hall,
Southside, continues to boom. Some ex
cellent entertainments are .being presented.
On Friday evening Comrade D. A. Jones
recited "The Soldier Tramp," in character.
His makeup was excellent, and his imita
tion was greeted with uproarious applause
by the audience. Such a hit did Comrade
Jones make that his audience would not be
quiet until he hid given another recitation.
He gave as the second '"The Veteran,"
which was appreciated as much as the first
He was rewarded with a large, beautiful
bouquet. The ladies played a joke on him by
presentinc him with a large hat-box in which
was a very small hat, which Comrade Jones
will never be able to wear.
In Comrade Jones audience that night was a
large delegation of members from Post 157.
Numerous fine attractions are being arranged
for this week. Borne Sewickley vocal talent
has tendered its services for aext Thursday
evening. Post 3 will likely attend in a body on
Thursday evening.
Invitations have been sent to all the South
side Councils of the Jr. O. tf. A. M. to attend in
a body and several have accepted and will at
tend sum.
In Memorlam.

Hartranft, as folio s:
Comrade Hartranft was born In Xew Hanover,
Pa., December 16. 1630L . ,
He m one of the first to respond to the Presi
dent's call for trooos In April. 1S61, and from the
battle of Bull ltun to the final jrlorlous victory
before Petersburg, which earned for him the title
of '-The Hero of Tort Bteadinan," and a Major
General's rant, his career was an honorable and
brilliant one-
In civil life the people of his State twice elected
him to the highest honor wltnln their t-trt-Uover-nor
of the great Commonwealth of Pennsylvania.
At the time of his death he was Major General, in
command of the National Uuard of Pennsyl
vania. He filled every position confided to him, civic
and military, with commendable care and fidelity

by Mr. Manson 8. Jolly, who was on duty at
Fort Moultrie at tbe time, and sent to his
home. It has been in the family ever1 since,
and was left at the Jntelligencer office by a
relative of Mr. Jolly.
Before his election as Commander-in-Chief,
General Alger had promised Governor Foraker,
of Ohio, to assist him in his campaign for re
election. Immediately after the Milwaukee
encampment General Alger notified Governor
F- raker that be could not keep his promise, as,
auring his Incumbency as Commander-in-Chief

The pupils of room 9, of the Minersville
school, of which class Nellie Quinon, daugh
ter of Stephen Quinon, of the Chronicle Tele
graph, and who died' Thursday, was a member,
adopted, nnder the tutelage of Prof. Riddle, a
set of resolutions reciting their dead com
panion's many good qualities. The little girl
was only 10 years of age, and vas notedfor her
lovable disposition.
A canvass of the principals of the Pitts
burg school districts in which there are paro
chial schools indicates that so far there has
been no effect in the attendance on account of
Father Corcoran's sermon, in which he said
that Catholic parents who sent their children
to tbe public schools would not receive absolu
tion. Some of the school principals say they
have more Catholic children this year than
usual.
THE most interesting visitor at the Central
Board rooms yesterday afternoon was Mr.
Ernst Lythcke, formerly a Government mis
sionary agent of tbe island of Spitsbergen, He
says tbe Esquimaux have advanced wonder
fully in education in general since 1840. His
talk gives a very different impression of tbe
Esquimaux than that received from novels and
seekers of the north pole. The educational
law of the country is that a child shall enter
school at 6 and finish the course prescribed at
11, but if tbe pupils shall not hare finished tbe
course at that age tbey must continue
until they imbibe the required amount
of knowledge, and for that reason there is now
an Esquimaux woman 101 years old who can be
still considered a giddy school girl, as she is
still following tbe educational course laid down
by the law. Her intellect it of c-.nrse, too
dwarfed to study what is required of her, but
she is so anxious she still keeps on as a pupil.
If a pupil misses school he is fined 50 cents for
each day missed. He says tbe average age of
the Esquimaux is 149 years. Mr. Lythcke says
that Spitsbergen has a bank of its own in Den
mark, and owns its own vessels on the ocean.
He has taught in China and many other for
eign countries, and he says he would sooner
educate 20 Esquimaux than 2 Chinamen.

THE BOSTON SCHEME
For a Market House on the Allegheny
Indorsed by High Authority.
LOCAL 8PECULAT0BS PINCHED.
Dwelling Houses Built in Pittsburg as
Cheaply as Anywhere Else.
AH0YJ2MEKT IH THE P0IHT DISTRICT
Hon. David KirK indorses the Boston
gentleman's scheme for building a market
house on the Allegheny river, as presented
in The Dispatch a few days ago, Mr.
Kirk said yesterday: "Itis coming to that.
Land in the heart of the cities is already
too valuable to be wasted. The market
houses occupy much space that should be
devoted to other purposes. A. market
house on the river, as proposed, would
afford tbe necessary relief.
"I think the scheme is entirely feasible.
The cost would not be great. Bonds issued
to pay for the work would command a
premium, and could be paid off with money
received for rents and other market privileges.
Such a building would be a great advertise
ment for Pittsburg."
The oil crowd bad good reason yesterday for
taking more interest in the New York stock
quotations than in the commodity to which
they are supposed to be wedded. It is reported
that a good many -of them lost heavily on the
break in the Cotton Oil and Lead Trusts.
It is also strongly hinted that quite a number
of Pittsburg speculators not connected with
the Exchange dropped large amounts on the
same delusive securities. The child immortal
ized in the old saying knew nothing about fire
until it burnt its finger, Then it kept at asaf e
distance.
A lot 60 feet front on tbe corner of Penn and
Collins avenues was sold on Friday of last week
for $50,000. Its location in the business center
of East Liberty, where good sites are scarce,
accounts for the tolerably steep price realized
nearly $900 a foot. It is understood the pur
chaser will erect a fine business house on the
property.
In answer to the assertion frequently made
that it costs mora to build a house in Pittsburg
than in Philadelphia or Chicago, a well-posted
gentleman remarked yesterday: "I know from
my own experience and observation that bouses
built in Pittsburg for sale are more substantial,
have larger rooms and more conveniences than
those of tbe same class in any other city which
I have visited, and particularly Philadelphia
and Chicago, from vjbich we bear so much
boasting of low-priced bujldlngs. Tbey also, as
a rule, occupy more ground, which gives them
additional value.
"Bearing these facts in mind, it is easily seen
that Pittsburg houses are as cheap at the prices
asked for them as those in the places indicated.
A majority of the houses now on the market
are offered at prices very little above actual
cost some at cost the profit being made on
the ground."
A Pittsburg gentleman just returned from a
visit to Kansas City, said Yesterday that real
estate there is advancing so rapidly that noth
ing but a cabls car can keep np with it, so they
have built 60 miles or more of cable lines in
that city. The gentleman was so lavorably im
pressed with the appearance of the place with
its business bustle so like Pittsburg that be
thinks its destiny is to become one of the great
cities of the country.
Quite a number of old-time Pittsburgers are
in business there.
The Equitable Loan Association, composed
of 50 well-known business men, has purchased
a tract of land near Fleming station,-on the
Pittsburg and Lake Erie Railroad, for which
it paid $21,600. A brief notice of this transac
tion was given at the time, but the feature of
it of most interest was not divulged until yes
terday. The intention of the association is to
lay the property out in large lots, with wide
streets, lawns, etc
To secure low rates on building material for
35 or 30 houses, to be commenced at once, con
tracts for supplies and buildings will be let in a
lump. This will be a departure from the usual
practice in this city, and is the same as tire
Philadelphia system. A few of the lots will be
sold to outsiders and the proceeds applied to
tbe improvement of tbe rest of the property.
It will be called Park View Place.
Young America should begin the study of tbe
Spanish language as soon as possible. Our
nearest neighbors, and those with whom we
are destined in tbe near future to have close
commercial relations speak Spanish. It is only
a question of time when N ew Mexico will be
admitted as a State of tbe Union. The major
ity of its inhabitants speak Spanish, and it pre
dominates in tho courts and schools and with
most of the newspapers in tbat Territory.
Pretty soon our manufacturers and merchants
will be pushing their goods on the markets in
Spanish-American States and a thorough
knowledge of the language will insure thou
sands of energetic young men remunerative
employment and a splendid opportunity to ac
quire wealth.
As Pittsburg will be one of the greatest gain
ers by the new trade relations which are certain
to be established between the United States
and the Spanish speaking people to the south
of us, as the outcome of the Pan-American
Congress, soon to assemble at Washington,
local educators would meet what will soon be a
public want by adding tbe Spanish language to
their curriculum.
i
There has been within a week or two a
marked increase In the demand for downtown
business property, wbere several important
transactions have taken place, and more are
pending. The Exposition bulla lng, the exten
sion of street car lines and the proposed park
have brought tbat part of the city into greater
prominence than It has enjoyed for many years,
and directed the attention of capitalists to it as
a good opening for investment,
Tbe situation is unequaled for the conduct
of any kind of business, and by making
necessary improvements either by remodeling
tbe old buildings or putting np new ones, which
would be better in most cases the Point dis
trict would scon become one of the bright spots
of the city.
Mr. Charles Lockhart is rushing things on
Dinwiddle street. Tbe 60 dwellings which he
is building on tbat thoroughfare, will be under
roof by the last of the month. The bouses are
of a good class, with stone fronts and modern
conveniences. These booses will Improve the
appearance of Dinwiddle so mnch as to make
it look almost like a new street
Mr. Lockhart states that 35 of tbe houses
have already been leased. There is a lesson In
this which other builders could study to their
advantage.
There was nothing peculiar in business condi
tions in Pittsburg last week. The iron market
was less excited, but active and firm. Money
was plenty at 67 per cent, with a certainty of
continued ease during the remainder of the
year. There was a liberal movement of all the
staple products, with values about steady. Real
estate developed considerable activity, and a
number of important transactions were con
cluded. There was a good inquiry for and a
large number of sales of small properties.
In local securities the break in Philadelphia
Gas was the feature of chief interest. It re
covered most of the loss and closed steady. Pe
troleum was for tbe most part active and firm.
It reached the highest price recorded for nearly
five years, but weakened under free realizing,
closing steady at 105.
Tbe most important real estate deal on the
Southside for some time was concluded on
Friday, when the Pittsburg, Virginia and
Charleston Railroad Company purchased all
the land on Josephine street, from the railroad
to Judge Mellon's incline, paying 119,000 for
it. The owner was represented by George a
Burgwln, attorney.
It is the purpose of the railroad company to
fill Josephine street with tracks, and open
another street for public use further out.

Tbe following was wired John M. Oakley &
Co., from New York: "Money is dear, but it
can be had on good collaterals at a price. The
banking money lending fraternity discriminate
against trusts, and the lower tbey go naturally
the less they are inclined to carry them except
for tbe best houses. Losses in cotton oil have
been heavy and have not been confined to out
siders.. As one gentleman puts it: The rams
as wellja the lambs were fleeced.' It looks as
if thejgp tigers themselves had been unduly
hop&H5a that the complications and ramifi
cations of the business bad been so great as to
disable tbe managers from fully comprehend
ing what tbe final figures would really show.
"Tbe item of bills receivable of over $i000,
000, with something over $3,000,000 of offsets,
alarmed tbe street as to the obligations of tbe
trust, and awakened suspicions as to tbe value
of the offsets, but this is mcro surmise and
wholly unsupported by evidence, yet it makes
tbe market nervous. When once people lose
confidence in a thing they will not believe any
thing." The weekly statement of the New Tork
banks, issued yesterday, shows the following
changes: Reserve, decrease, 3,800; loans,
increase, 768.200; specie, increase, 8547,200;
legal tenders, decrease, 2231,100; deposits, in
crease, 1,299,600: circulation, increase, 316,200.
The banks now hold (1,120,475 in excess of the
25 per cent rule.
Money on call at New York yesterday ruled
tight with no loans: closed offered at 6 per cent. 1

D0IKGS IN OIL.
An Outsider ITefines His Position by Telling
n Little Story.
The oil market yesterday was the most unin
teresting of tbe week, very little being done at
any of tho Exchanges. Here the "boys" de
voted more time to New York stocks than to
their legitimate calling. What little strength
there was Pittsburg furnished. The weakness
sprung from Oil City, New York waited and
watched. There was nothing new in tbe way
of conditions.
The opening price was $1 06V. the highest
$1 00 tbe lowest and closing $1 05 Friday's
clearances were 1,067,000 barrels. Clearances
for tho week were 6,134,000 barrels. The out
side interest tbe lambs who were wont to be
fleeced continue to maintain a position of dis
interested neutrality. One of tnem said: "You
have beard the story of the woman sitting on
a rafter of her backwoods cabin watching a
right between ner nnsDana ana a Dear, ana
?:
SCHNDAT, NOTEMBEE "
couraging each of them alternately. That's
my fix in regard to the oil operators. Let them
fight it out."
Field news stated: Hart Bros.' Bellevne No.
2, Washington county, is showing up well. It
improves tbe prospects of several wells in its
vicinity. Meyers, Me ran t Co.'s Smith lis 23
bits in the sand and has made 50 barrels in the
last 24 hours. M. Smith's Trinity Hall Is
through the sand and will make a small pro
ducer. An important venture is being made in
the old Smith pooL MunhallACo.'sweUonthe
R. D. Wylie farm is being cleaned out prepara
tory to drilling it to the hfthsand. If it finds
oil in this sand all the old wells in Ita vicinity
will be deepened.
James and William Galey have secured ex
tensive leases inproperty along the east side
of the Beaver creek at Rochester, and will, on
Monday, begin the erection of a rig to develop
what is practically new territory. The well
has been located a tew rods above the Big
Beaver bridge, connecting this place and West
Bridge water.
A dispatch from Butler, Pa., says: The
Huselton & Co.'s well, on the Shannon farm,
in the Fetersville district, reported as dry, was
drilled through the 100-foot sand yesterday and
pay streak found. The well will be'good for at
least 60 barrels a day;

.THE TRUSTS SHAKEN.
Benrs Contlnae Their Demonstrations
Against Them A Lower Level
Reached Dllsaonrl Paciflo Also
Raided- Gains and Losses
Aboat Even.
New Yoek, November 1 The stock market
was fairly active to-day, with the trusts less
prominent in the trading, though, with the ex
ception of Missouri Pacific, there was no real
activity in the railroad list. There was consid
erable anxiety over tbe bank statement, and
before its issue opinions differed as to its com
plexion, aud the disposition was to await its
publication. Tbe bears, in tbe meantime, made
another demonstration against the trusts, and
both Cotton Oil and Lead were knocked, down
below the lowest figures of yesterday.
Anomer weak spot n -tno marxet was
'3, 1889f
Missouri Pacific, which, with Chicago Gas
Trust, failed to recover with the rest of tbe
market. The traders were Inclined to work
for a' rally, but the bears continued to hammer
the list and after a steady opening tbe pressure
upon the three trusts and Missouri Pacific,
which caused declines in those stocks from 1
to 2 per cent, was felt in the rest of the mar
ket, and sympathetic losses of small tractions
were sustained. A material rally" then began,
which in many cases brought prices again to
and above the level of the opening figures.
The pressure upon Missouri Pacific was not
relieved, however, ana that stock remained at
its worst, which afterward affected tbe general
list, and the market finally closed active and
weak generally at -fractional losees from the
opening prices. The'flnal changes are. fairly
well divided between gains and losses, and are
for small fractions in most cases, tbe only im
portant ones being losses of 1 in Missouri Pa
ciflo and li in Chicago Gas.
Railroad bonds were comparatively active,
the sales of all issnes for the two honrs reach
ing 8726,000. Tbe market failed to develop any
feature of interest. Sales of bonds for the
week, 16,861,000, against (6,837,000 last week.

Business Notes. .
Bad weather was the bearish feature of the
business situation last week.
Pjctsbubq will soon hare the best rapid
transit system of any city in the country.
The stores and shops are beginning to fill up
with holiday goods, for which it 4s expected
there will be a big demand.
A few landlords have signed the agreement
ts change moving day, and the rest ought to.
Don't stand: in your own light, gentlemen.
The widening of Cecil alley.in all probability,
will prove the beginning of a series of improve
ments which will benefit a large area of busi
ness property.
The Pittsburg Exchange will be closed on
Tuesday, election day, that being a legal holi
day In New Tork, but not In this State. New
York closes for Pittsburg when there is a legal
holiday here. lbs banks will be open as
usual.
It Is stated that the long fight between the
Pittsburg, Allegheny and Manchester and the
Pleasant Valley Passenger companies has been
amicably settled to tbe satisfaction of both cor
porations. Tbe agreement bas not been signed,
but it is believed it will stand.

necessary to properly conduct its business as
well as to provide for existing mortgage debts
on its property and franchises.
MAEKETS BY WIRE.
The Wheat Pit Without Pentnre, but Prices
Give Way a Little November and
January Pork Active and Un
settled, Closing Steady.
Chicago Wheat ruled weak and averaged
lower than yesterday. A fair business was
transacted, but there was no decided action to
the market either one way or the other, and
after a decline of Kcthe marketheld fairly
steady most of the day, and the closing was
about o lower for December and c lower for
May. There was nothing new in ontside influ
ences, and the market was governed by local
speculators. The impression was that parties
who were buyers yesterday were principal
sellers to-day. Shorts covered moderately.
The market really was without special feature.
The receipts in the Northwest continue large.
Five loads were reported taken for export at
New York to-day and 8f boatloads atr Balti.
more. European advices quoted dull markets.
Domestic markets were weaker, though Minne
apolis held up steadily at the start It was es
timated that the visible supply would show an
increase of about 2,500,000 bushels, and may go
above these figures.
Corn ruled quiet the greater part of the ses
sion, less interest being manifested than for
several days past Fluctuations were confined
to a Ho range, and trading was mainly of a
local character. The feeling prevailing was on
the whole firm. Tbe market opened at yester
day's closing prices, was flrm.changed but little
and closed same as yesterday.
In oats a moderate business was transacted,
and a steady feeling prevailed. May received
the most attention. A fair business was also
reported in changing trades from January to
May, at "Kc difference.
Pork trading wa quite active, with the bulk
ot tho business In November and January de
liveries. The fact that the supply on hand is
nearly five times as large as that reported on
band one year ago, and that the manufacture
for October was equal to abont 68 per cent of
the total of last season, bad a denressing effect
Prices declined 2027Ko on November and
year deliveries, and 710o on January, rallied
slightly and closed steady.
In lard only a moderate business was trans
acted. Prices ruled about 2Ko lower, and the
market closed steady.
In rib sides a little more, activity was notice
able. Tbe feeling was stronger for November
delivery, and prices were advanced 1012c;
January was easier, and changed hands at2)3
6c decline.
