H3W THE C1TI IS SPREADING OUT
The remains of the Siemens-Anderson
i Steel Company plant, which was bought at
the time of the failure, seven or eight years
ago, by a Eradicate of steel manufacturers,
was sold by "W. A. Herron & Sons yester
day for ?2l,500 spot cash.
The lot is located on Second avenue,
near Koss street, and is 72x160 feet, with an
I 42x52 feet The buildinps are not Terr valu
able. The purchasers will occupy it at once for
the manufacture of oil well tools and supplies.

In reply to a request for news yesterday even
intra member of the firm of Black A Balrd
said: "You may say that we hare just closed
the sale of a piece of city business property for
1163,000, but we can't give details to-day owing
to objections of the purchasers. The sale Is
bona fide, however." While nothing definite
can be affirmed as to the location of this prop
erty, there is ground for saying it is on Dia
mond street.
This presumption was strengthened by the
remark of a prominent business man: "It Is
likely that the widening of Diamond street will
lead to considerable litigation in regard to
damages and benefits, and, from what 1 have
learned, some of the more timorous property
holders are willing to sell so as to avoid
tronble."
a
At the present rato of building the country
between the East End and Braddock will soon
be thickly covered with bouses. The big bor
ough at the end ot the line is pushing west
ward to meet Pittsburg. Bradnock Is the nat
ural limit of Pittsburg in one direction, as
Sewickley is in another. Their absorption by
the city would add to its power and prestige,
and be beneficial all lound. This seems to be
the ultimate purpose of the movement now in
progress, and all public buildings, parks and
other institutions for the benefit of the people
should be connected with this probability in
view.
The forty-fourth annual statement of the
Connecticut Mutual Life Insurance Company,
which appears on another page this morning,
tells its own commendable story plainer than
any comment that could be written on it. The
company has within a fraction of (58,000,000 of
assets and a surplus of $5,530,000 on the most
rigid legal standard. Policy holders number
G3.830, insured for 151,739,491 The receipts
last year were 17,701,221 27 and disbursements
$6,916,399 98. The figures indicate the strength
and security of a conservative policy.
Mention was made a few days ago of the
Messrs. Mellon Brothers having sold a number
of fine fronts on the west side of Negley ave
nue, lately purchased by them. This property
extends back to Fairmount avenue and will, it
is understood, be opened up at once. This
will throw npon the market one of the hand
somest locations for fine residences in the East
End. Several sales have been made in addi
tion to those previously reported all Negley
avenue fronts. A number of fine residences
are already under way in this plan, and many
more are in contemplation.
The opening up of California avenue and the
introduction of rapid transit, both of which
are confidently expected this season, will give
quite an impetus to real estate down the valley.
This district has so far failed to receive all the
recognition its merits deserve, but it cannot
much longer be hidden nnder a bushel. It con
tains some of the handsomest residence and
business sites in the county, while the variety
and beauty of the scenery are unsurpassed. A
nnmber of prominent business men bare pur
chased residence sites invarions parts ot the
valley, and will build some fine houses during
the spring and summer. It is destined, to be
the fashionable suburb ot Allegheny City.
There is no abatement of the demand tor
suburban property, as the daily record of sales
shows. As fast as one plan is bought up an
other is opened. This keeps up the snpply, and
holds prices within reasonable bounds. Of
course, with few exceptions, each new location
is a little further from the center of the city
than the preceding, but this is far less objec
tionable than formerly, owing to the introduc
tion of rapid transit, which, in a large sense, has
obliterated time and space. Almost any part of
the East End is as accessible now as Lawrence
ville or Snadyside were a tew years ago.
Beat estate values are well sustained in
deed, looking up In favored localities showing
confidence in the present and future, and af
fording an irresistible answer to those who
prate about a reaction. With a brisk cash de
mand to back it up real estate will not only
hold its own, but gradually enhance in value as
wealth and population increase. This being
true intending purchasers can gain nothing by
waiting.

Ballroad Shares More Active. With a
Strong; Undertone A Bear Drive at
the Coalera Gains Scored
at the Close.
New Yoek, February 24. The stock market
to-day was moderately active and displayed
quite a strong tone in comparison with last
week, and prices this week are fractionally
better tban at the close on Friday. One of the
most influential of the causes which acted to
keep prices down was the further drop in
Tennessee Coal and Iron, which was coupled
with a continuation of the weakness in Louis
ville and Nashville. Great recuperative power
was shown by Louisville and Nashville In the
afternoon, and almost all of its early decline
was recovered.
During the decline in Tennessee Coal and
Louisville and Nashville the general market
displayed strength, although the improvement
was devoid of special movements outside the
late leading weak stock. Bock Island and Chi
cago, Burlington and Qulncy, to which was
added a sharp rise in Chicago, St. Louis and
Pittsburg preferred among the specialties.
Considerable irregularity existed in the early
dealings, but a fractional advance was followed
by a reaction which reached only small frac
tions except In the Coal stocks, in which the
bears tried to take advantage of the weakness
of Tennessee Coal to depress the effort without
conspicnous success, and prices again rallied,
while the Grangers were specially strong with
the rest of the list following. Tennessee Coal
dropped from 69 to 59, and later to 5L though
in the final trading a recovery to 59 was accom
plished, the stock for the first time since the
drop began seeming to recover Some support.
Colorado Coal sympathized with the decline
in Tennessee to a limited extent, and it also re
covered almost the whole of its loss in the
rally of the last hour. The market vitn qmet
bnt firm at the close, with most ot the list at or
naer the best prices of the day. The final changes
show a large majority of fractional advances,
and Chicago. St. Louis and Pittsburg preferred
is up 2 Burlington and Qulncy Vi. Rock
Island 1. Railroad bonds were dnll to-day,
and the dealings In all issues 'reached the total
of only 8172.000.

THK GL0KG1A UAH OUTDONE.
A Peddler Telia or at Chinese Lily Growing
In lToa'a Stomach.
Birmingham, Ala., February 24. A
peddler who has just returned from Winston
county tells a story which, if not true,
evinces au imaginative power which no one
would ever suppose him to possess. A tanner
named Greene, while in town, was per
suaded to buy a few Chinese lily bulbs,
which will grow if placed in a bottle or jar.
They resemble in appearance a diminutive
steer's head, and sell on the streets for a
mere trifle. Farmer Greene took a fancy
to them and bought a dozen of them. When
he reached home he had no bottle or jar to
put them in, and threw them into the hog
lot with a. bucket of spoiled potatoes.
A few days alterward one of his largest
hogs became sick, refusing food and, laying
down in a corner, grunted as if in constant
pain. No signs of disease could be discov
ered, but a few days later the hog died. The
cause of death was discussed in the usual
family council around the supper table and
it was finally concluded best to cut up the
hog and find out, it possible, whether or not
the disease was contagious.
This was done and the cause of death was
instantly apparent. The animal had swal
lowed a Chinese lily bulb whole and there
was sufficient moisture iu the stomach to
cause it to grow. The bulb had not only
swelled and sprouted, but leaves had actually
formed. The animal was not adapted to the
purposes of a flower garden and died.
STKAKGE FREAK OF NATDRE.
An Indian Wllh Most or Ibc Characteristics
of a Bean
VAHCOPYBB, B. 0., February 24. 6ne
of the most remarkable freaks of nature
ever known can be found near this city in
an Indian settlement. The strange being is
called Joe, and it is difficult to tell whether
the animal is a bear or an Indian. This
uncouth being is ot prodigious size and
strength, with limbs well iormed, ex
cept that the ankles turn out, giving the feet
the appearance of paws. The) face and head
is shaped very nearly like that of a grizzly
bear. He never sits or stands like a man,
but when at rest settles upon his haunches
like a bear. When in motion he walks on
all fours with the peculiar, sidelong, awk
ward motion of a bear. He cannot talk, but
gives vent to growls like a bear. When en
raged he seizes the object of his wrath in a
deathlike hug. Thus far he is to all intents
and purposes a bear.
But his parents are Indians, his associates
are Indians, he loves red blankets and
Indian trinkets, he drinks whisky like an
Indian and his lood is Indian food". Joe is
well known in British Columbia and Wash
ington Territory. Every year he goes with
the other Indians to the Puana Valley and
the Snake and Columbia rivers in the hop
picking season and proves himself to be the
best hop picker of the tribe. He is a iamiliar
object "in the towns of this section and at
tracts great curiosity, but no one has ever
yet been able to define his exact position in
the animal kingdom. '

Country Produce Jobbing Prices.
A wet Monday morning is not apt to bring
activity to trade. Commission men make their
calculations for bine Monday, but the blue cast
to-day was more intense than usual. Poultry
Is in better supply than it has been for a week
or two past, and markets are a shade off. Ihere
is talk of 17c eggs, but no sales at this figure
could be traced. Dealers are glad to get 16c
for the best. Onions are weak and lower.
Cheese shows upward tendencies In the East,
but markets here are unchanged. Sweitzer
cheese has advanced in the West, and a rise
here is looked for before the week is out.

LOCAL LIVE STOCK.

Llaht Receipts at Herr'a Island
Smnll Supply of Sheep nnd
Swine More Lively at
East Liberty.
Office of Pittshuro Dispatch,
Monday, February 24, 1890.
The ran of stock at Here's Island yards
was unusually light, bnt, in spite of this
fact, markets were sluggish. The slow move
ment is attributed by drovers to the mild
ness of the weather.
The quality of cattle offerings was not up
to the average, and, while receipts were
light, markets were slow and lower than
they were a week ago. The best heavy Chi
cagos offered brought $55 25; medium weights,
1,350 to 1,500 lis, $1 7o4 85; do, L200 to 1,300 lis,
$4 504 65; prime light weights. 900 to 1,100 fts,
S44 25; common to fair, thin and rough steers.
S3 253 50. There were no fresh cows or spring
ers iu to-day's offerings. A few bulls and stags
from nearby points sold at 33Kc $ ft. Calves
wero in ligbtsupply, there being but 23 bead on
sale, all told, and the market was firm at a
range of 56cfl ft. Only very choice light
veal calves brought the latter figure. Receipts
from Chicago: I Zeigler, 106 bead; L. Gerson,
105;A.Fromra, 73: L. Rothschild. 41; E. Wolf,
18. From Pennsylvania: Various owners, 9.
Total receipts, 398; last week; 420; previous
week, 383.
Sheep and Lnmbs.
The run was very light. It seems that stuck is
very scarce tbrongh the country, and prices in
Chicago are higher than butchers here are will
ing to pay. For several weeks butchers have
complained that there is no profit to them in
handling sheep and lambs at the prices they
are compelled to pay for the live stock. The
total snpply this week comprised 293 heaa, of
which 12a head were left over from last week.
There were sufficient on hand for all demands.
Prime heavy Western and native, wethers sold
at 85 255 50, with sales or a few bunches of
extra fine at 85 75. Medium weights sold at
$4 755 15; lightweights, 84 254 60; common
and mixed stock, $3 7501 25; lambs, 56Mc

Iberty Llvo Stock.
The run of cattle was abont 75 loads against
60 loads last Monday, and 60 for the week be
fore. The quality of receipts this week showed
improvement over last, and for this reason
principally prices were better. Some dealers
claim an advance of 25c per hundred over last
week's prices, while others, report the same
grades as the same inpricfe. Sales were firmer
in their views than buyers and markets weTe
hanging, on the demand for an advance on last
week's prices at noon to-day.
Receipts of hogs at Liberty were from 20 to
25 loads and the top price was 84 25, a decline ot
1015cfrom rates of last week. Some sellers
demanded 84 30 at the opening of markets this
morning, but buyers could not be brought over
to their views. A Diamond market butcher
who buys at East Liberty said that he bought
hogs 20c lower to-day than last Monday. Sneep
and Iambs were scarce and markets were active
at a shade better prices than last Monday.

THE
CAUSE
OF
CONSUMPTION
is now admitted by tbe medical authorities to
be a deficiency or undue waste of Oxldizahle
Phosphorus normally existing in the human
economy. The remedy consists in the admin
istration of a preparation of Phosphorus being
at once assimilable and oxldlzable. WINCHES
TER'S HYPOPHOSPHITES is the only prep
aration of Phosphorus which combines these
characteristics in the highest degree For
Consumption, Bronchitis, Coughs, Night

Chicago Too Mnch Excited Over the World's
Fair Victory .to Pay Much Attention
to Business Leading; Com
' modules Lower.
Chicago Wheat-A rather dull and easy
feeling prevailed during most of the session.
Trading was principally among local operators.
The opening was weaker and cbelow Friday's
closing, declined Jc more, later improved some
and c of the early decline was recovered.agaln
ruled easy and the closing was about
lower than Friday. Milder weather induced
rather free selling.
Corn A moderate bnsiness was done and the
feeling prevailing was easier. Tbe market
opened at Friday's closing prices, was steady
for a time, a very fair inquiry existing for May
and Jnly, but offerings were largp, and the
undertone heavy. The market declined Kc
closing ySc lower than Friday.
Oats were fairly active, w eaker and lower, due
to mild weather, fair receipts, tbe decline in
otber grains and also to tbe selling" by longs.
Prices leceded lAlic early. Tbe market closed
strong at the same as Friday's last sales.
Only a light business was done in pork, and
almost exclusively In May. Prices ruled about
5c higher, and closod steady.
Lard was dull, and there were no changes to
note.
.There was only fair business in short ribs.
Prices are a little more favorable to sellers.

AN ACTOR'S AFFLICTION.
HE LIVES TO TELL THE STORx".
He says: "My health began to fall nine years
ago. At firt I noticed that my urine became
niguiy colored and
scanty at times. Then
for a few days it would
be profuse and light
colored. I was then
taken with rheumatic
fains all over my body,
had a constant, dull,
aching pain in my
back. Abont every 10
days my head would
so pain me that I
wouia irequentiy go
1 n t o an unconscious
condition, and, falling
off my chair, would
have to be car
ried to mv bed. where
I would be compelled
' DR. shafeb. to remain for days. As
my disease further advanced I had to void my
urine very often, which was attended with
great pain, and also had mnch pain abont the
bladder. My appetite left m'e. I had belching
of gas, and a bad taste in my moutb. My mouth
and throat wonld fill with slimy muens, and a
tight, backing cough set in. with an aching and
burning sensation In my breast, night sweats
further reduced me, and I became very weak.
I was compelled to break several engagements,
my health not allowing me to follow my usual
business. I bad received treatment from sev
eral prominent physicians, but received no
beperlt. Being advised to consult Dr. Shafer,
of the Polypatbic Medical Institute, in regard
to mv case. I did so and. findine their charces
very reasonable, I began treatment, and am
glad to say that I have been entirely cured of
my disease. 'C Bcott Chambers."
