' A Bar Association Committee Finds a Deed Cnn bo Written In 00 Words A RIort. mcr In 235 Words na BIndloff n Ooe cress. The Bar Association held its regular meeting yesterday, with President H. A. Woodward in the chair. Tbe most im portant matter brought up was the report of the committee appointed to prepare im proved tortus of deeds and mortgages. This committee reported that it was its purpose, in what it had done, to eliminate such por tions of the forms now in use as are entirely superfluous, while retaining all the ele ments essential under the law. If it erred it had been on the side of the old verbiage, as it had retained some words which are plainly unnecessary, but which, having been consecrated by long and uniform cus tom, it was not disposed to reject them. Among tbe changes recommended in the form of a deed are the substitution of "deed of conveyance" for "indenture," as in the present state of conveyancing there is no such thing as an indenture, and the new term more correctly describes the instrument. Tbe words in tbe past tense in the granting clause are stricken out; the tenendum clause is omitted; words which are merely syno nyms and repetitious are omitted, and tbe receipt ou the back of the deed blanks stricken out, Altogether, the new form contains 96 words, while tbe form in use contains 378. In the form of mortgage, instead of call ingitan"Indenture,"it is termed a"Deed of Mortgage," and it is cnt down to 235 words from 685 in the present form. Continuing, the committee said that the question was of great importance to tbe pro fession and people of the county. In the beginning of 1850 there were 8S volumes of deed books in the Recorder's office; in 1830, 141; in 1870, 250; in 1880, 396; in 1890, 675. Ten years hence, at this rate, there will De 1,150. The mortgage books have increased more rapidly, although there were but 504 in 1890; in ten years they will exceed 1,000. In 20 vcars there will be over 4,000 books in the office, and there will tnot be proper ac commodations for them. The adoption of tbe new forms will dimin ish by one-third the number of books that will hereafter accumulate in the Recorder's office. If a change is not made in 20 years there will he 4,000 books confronting a title examiner, and the committee pertinently asked how will that title examiner's "soul be vexed when he reflects that a proportion of them, equal to 1,300 volumes of more than COO pages each, is filled with super fluous verbiage of no value to any person in the world." The committee thinks that a continuation of this state of affairs is a blot on the science of law, a recroacn to a learned profession, and a burden to all interested parties which ought no longer to be borne. The report and forms were received, ordered to be printed, and laid over one month before action will be taken. George P. Murray and George William Wurzell were elected members of the asso ciatioo. After the adjournment of the bar association the gentlemen interested in- the formation of a lawyers' club met with R. E.J oi.cv.urt in me cuair. xne iximmiliee on Membership reported that 130 attorneys had signed the application lor the formation of the club. The committee was instructed to continue tbe work until 150 signatures were obtained. Then a meeting will be called when arrangements will be made to procure n charter and formally organize. TRADE AND TRADES. Facts and Figures Showing an Active Movement Along the Line. EVERYBODY m GOOD SPIRITS. Eeal Estate Men Make Eeports Showing They Are Doing Something. THE FLIGHT FEOM GUI TO COUKTRY Local business presented no unusual features last week. The industrial dis turbance induced greater caution than is ordinarily observed, which had its effect upon some lines oi trade, as may be seen by reference to tbe Clearing House report, the week's exchanges showing a loss of $1,697, 000 in ronnd numbers as compared .with those of the previous week, which were the largest in tbe history of thj city. While it is well enongh to aim high, occasional failnro to reach the mark should occasion no surprise. As it was, business was of sufficient volume to demonstrate that Pittsburg is not given over to idleness. To particularize: Real estate was lifted ont of the rut and sent spinning along the groove ot activity. Every Broker in tho city spoken to on the subject reported a distinct improvement in the inquiry for all descriptions of property, as well as In the number of sales. Transactions in local securities outnumbered those of the previous weck,and prices were generally higher. Petroleum developed more strength, with a larger outside support, affording reasonable hope of a permanent revival. Money was in sufficient supply for business purposes and loaned at 6 per cent to regular customers, A Few Good Denis- Beat estate men had nothing to complain of during tbe week. The inquiry was good and a fair amount of business was transacted. The most important deal made public yesterday was by 8. J. Fleming & Co., who sold for Wlllram Tate, Esq., two three story brick houses of 11 rooms each, with lot 40xS4 feet. The purchaser "was Samuel W. Black, the wel'-known broker. He paid $20,000 for the property. The auction sale ot lots at Linden station by Black & Baird yesterday was slimly attended on account of threatening weather. One lot was sold and the sale adjourned until next Sat urday. Messrs.Anderson ABeekman closed up a deal at Wllmerding involving about S30, 000. Theyre port things on the jumD ont there. Citizens are beginning to talk of organizing a borough. A Liberty street merchant has just closed a transaction in real estate In Chicago, by which which h cleared 515,000. 93 the latter moving up $i ashare. Wcstlnghouso Electric, Switch, Bridgewater and Wheeling Gas were among tho other good features. The tractions were practically unchanged and neg lected. There was the usual Saturday bidding on bank and insurance stocks, with the usual Saturday result holders refusing tbe terms. There is every Indication of Increased activity as soon as a settlement of tbe labor trouble shall be effected, but in tbe meantime both sides are disposed to move cautiously to avoid entanglements. Buyers are a little under the market, and holders refuse concessions en the ground that there is nothing calling for a sacri fice. This places the market in a waiting atti tude, with very little stimulus needed to give it an upward direction. EXCHANGE STOCK. Bid. Asked. Pitts. Pet.. Btoct ft Metal Kx 0 ;o BANK STOCXS. Bid.

Barrels similar to tbe American ones, but of beech wood, are now made in Germany, and many of them are made In such a w ay as to seriously defraud the re tailer. On the inside of one, or perhaps both the ends, is screwed a block of beech wood, of which no sign is visible on the outside, but tho presence of which is revealed when the cask is empty on account of its extra weight. There are said to be largo numbers of these casks in use at tbe present time in Westphalia. The block of wood screwed on to tho end of the cask weighs from 17 to 23 pounds, which means, of course, a corresponding netl0S3 of petroleum to tbe rotailer.

Chicago, May a The Evening Journal says: There is every reason to believe that Mr. Villard and the Northern Pacific Kail road Company have acquired control of the Chicago and Great Western Railroad and the Calumet and Chicago Terminal Bail road. In fact it is given out on reliable au thority that the two roads and all their equipments and property have been pur chased, the price paid being $30,000,000. Securities to the amount 01 something over the purchase price will be issued against the property thus acquired after sufficient time elapses to perfect the details of these great transactions. The property included in the sale con sists ot the following: The Calumet and Chicago Terminal road, wbieh starts on tbo property of the Calumet Land Improve ment Company at Hammond, Ind., runs west to Blue Island, thence northwest through the town oi Worth, and northward to Lagrange, xne line consists of 30 miles of track. The Chicago and Great Western starts from Harrison street and Piith ave nue, westward to a point about a mile west ot Cicero. It is over this company's track that the Northern Pacific and Wisconsin Central roads bring their trains into Chi cago. The Chicago and Great Western owns two blocks of land on tbe east side of the river, and a leasehold of a part oft sec tion 10, town of Cicero, running 70 years, the latter land being used for transfer yards. It controls about 140 acres of land in Cicero and Chicago, which is declared by an ex pert with tbe subject to be worth ?10,000,000. The company also owns the magnificent new depot at Harrison street and fifth avenue, which is valued at 51,000,000. HE STUDIED "VTVISECTIOU' Tbe Hcptnaopha.

Arther Jackson, colored, of Bristol, while drunk last night at 12 o'clocK went to the Bristol House, where hiswife is a waitress, and demanded that she go home. She got up and dressed to save a scene, and went home. First he made her hold alight while he killed his dogwithauax; then with a razor he began operations on tbe woman. He cut her throat horribly, and also' cut off several of her fingers. But for the arrival of a neighbor, Jack Fish, who found tue man kickini? the dvini woman, he would probably have cut her in pieces. Jackson had saturated the room with kerosene oil. and was evidently in tending to burn the house. Jealousy is said to be the cause. Jackson was arrested at Plainville this afternoon at the house of James Bishop, where he was eating dinner. Jackon and his wife have been married four years and have one child. THE 5EW ERA DT CITY BUILDING. Bualnes Nevr and Gossip. Tbe largest mortgage placed on record yes terday was for $20,000. There were 80 others, varying in amount from 16,500 to S200. The Turtle Creek Valley Electric Light Com pany has commenced the erection of a large central tower. Tbe plant will soon be in work ing order. Groveland, a new suburb of Beaver, is build up very fast and promises soon to become a highly creditable feature of the famous old town. Good lots are selling at from 8300 to S500. aiany buildings and other improvements are under way. Sales of local securities on call last week were 1,101 shares,againstS3 the previous week. Thomas B. McGowan, the liberty street mer chant,bought a piece of property in Homestead 10 years ago for J500 and wasn't anxious for it at that figure. Yesterday he sold it for 81,850 cash. Negotiations for placing the stock of the San Carlos bilvir Mine are progressing satisfac torily. Straub A Morris have placed mortgages amounting to $15,000 on city property in the last few days. Property owners in the Second ward, Alle gheny, have such exalted views of values that they have driven nearly all the buyers out of tho market, inflation always works that way. The treasurer of the Pittsburg and Castle Shannon Railroad Company desires the holder of bond No. 214 for $100 to present the same for redemption. The West End Savings Bank has declared a semi-annual dividend of 3 per cent "" Norman May, 108 Fourth avenue, has placed murtgaces on city properties to tho amount of 813,000 for threo years at 5 per cent. Four hundred books of deposit in tbe Law iraiou,iuhj0 suit out. Anis is delaying a settlement, Room In the Country. Tha business area of Pittsburg proper is being rapidly absorbod as a result of tho growing d i mands ot trade. This is driving residents to the country, where many of them are establish ing homes. Some fear has been expressed that this movement would mako residence sites scarce and dear. Itmayhavethateffect in some localities, but not generally. On all sides of the city, within convenient distance and accessible by steam and street cars, are large bodies of unoccupied land, which are being put on the market as fast as justified by the demand, and at prices within the reach of anybody and everybody. There is no danger, therefore, that tho rush from the city will cause a famine in building lots, or deprive any one so Inclined of the privilege ot living under his own vino and ng tree.

Tha Old Fashion of Erecting Lone Rows of Houses Jast Alike Is Going Oat. Carpentry and Building. It is a pleasing thought that the habit of building long rows of city houses, all exactly alike in outward appearance, as well as in interior arrangement, is fast goin out of fashion. The marble trimmed rows of Philadelphia the brown stone rows of New York, the brick rows oi Baltimore, St. Louis and other cities, so monotonous in their lines and so opposed to all ideas of distinctive individual ity, are fast becoming thinrs of the nasL Thev are being rapidly replaced by dwell ings, artistio in all their details, each having its own particular charm no two of which are exactly alike.

Some of the Local Banks Closely Laned Up Encouraging Figures. Said a Wood street bank cashier yesterday: "This morning I was telephoned by a neighbor ing bank if I wanted a good loan of $20,000. 1 replied that we wero a little short, and referred the Inquirer to two other banks. Tho answer came back that both of tueso Institutions had been applied to and that neither was in a po sition to take the paper. I mention this inci dent to show you that a few of the banks are pretty closely loaned up. Thero Is no dearth of money, however, for regular business pur poses. Tue fact that funds are actively em ployed shows a prosperous condition of busl-no-8." Tho Clearing House ropoit, while not so good a that of the previous week, was any thing but discouraging. Tho week's clearings were $1,000,600 in excess of those of tho corre sponding time last year, which, however, was only a five-day week. Still, the ea'n is suf ficient to show a steady expansion of business, which promises to increase as the season ad vances and disturbing Influences are removed. There is nothing in sight to cause mistrust of the future.

In spite of the industrial disturbances, last week was a busy one among the builders. The number of permits taken out was 67, represent ing 72 houses, against 87 permits and 116 bouses the previous week. The cost of the improve ments Is estimated at 8132,823. The decrease is attributable to tbe unsettled condition of the labor market, a full settlement of which Is thought to be in sight, so far as Pittsburg is concerned. The total nnmber of permits issued this year to date is 866, against 791 for the corresponding time last year, with a proportionate increase in tbe value of tbe improvements, the buildings being generally of abetter class.

Dealing la Railroad shares Show a De cided Loss of Tim Tha Railroad Muddle a Disturbing Element Insignificant Changes. New York, May S, The stock market was quiet to-day in comparison with the large busi ness of late. Xt remained feverish with no marked changes except in a few shares, which were affected by special influences. This was most marked in the granger stocks, Lacka wanna, Oregon and Transcontinental, Manhat tan and Wheeling and Lake Erie, both pre ferred and common. Trading to-day was of a professional character, but the pressure was from Chicago. Whilo thero was a good demand for specialties there was a feeling of disap pointment about the condition of the railroad war. There is nothing to show that the settle ment contemplated is intended to cover any thing but passenger business, while the war of freights, which represents the most important part of the railroads earnings, is likely to con tinue. UThe market was up and down witnln narrow limits, with no movement at all worthy of note in the general list, and only in a few special ties was there anything like life. Oregon Im provement, the Chicago, St. Louis and Pitts burg stocks and one or two others made sharp upward spurts, but these constituted tbe only features in the trading. There was a better tone developed toward the close on tha scarcity of stocks offering, and tbe close was fairly act ive and firm at insignificant changes for the day. St, Paul, Atchison, Oregon Transconti nental and Richmond and West Point were tbe active stocks. Railroad bonds were quiet to-dav, tho sales for the session being $1,007,000, with Texas Pacific seconds and Atchison incomes the leading activo features. Government bonds have been dull and steady. State bonds bave been dull and neglected. Petroleum opened weak at 85 for spot and $- for June option. Spot oil moved np 108 then became dull, and remained so until the close. June option fell to 85 and closed dull at that figure. Stock Exchange opening, 85; highest, 85; lowest, 85; closing. &. Consolidated Ex change opening, 85; highest. 85K; lowest, 85: closing, 85. Total sales. 121.000 barrels. The exports of specie from port of New York last week amounted to 283,893, of which $86,678 was in cold and $197,220 silver. The imports of specie for the week amounted to $8,b07. of which $8,176 was in gold and $72,631 silver. The Post says: The early prices for stocks in Lon don this morning were generally lower than the closing quotations here last night, and this was followed by lower prices here for nearly all stocks throughout the short session. A re action has been expected for several days past. Prices had gone up so steadily for two weeks that tbe professional speculators, many of whom bad carried long stocks for two or three months, had pretty well sold out, and many of them bad put out lines of short, in St. Paul. Union Pa cific, Lackawanna, Northern Pacific, perferred. Burlington, and some others. The news of tbe cut made by the Eastern Minnesota and Northern steamship companies on through freights from the Northwest to Atlantic sea board, thus threatening to cause another freight war among all the Northwestern roads together with the reports of labor strikes in Europe and United States, also had some effect. The reaction, however, was much smaller to day than might reasonably have been expected uuder the circumstances, showing that there is an extremely strong prevailing sentiment In favor of a continued rise in prices, which is not likely to be changed, except by some thing more unfavorable than the occurrences of the last day or two. Thore Is a reasonable probability that prices may react still further on tbe first two or three dajs of next week but at considerable reaction speculators are pretty certain to bo buyers again, because they see it is easior to advance prices than to depress them.

CHICAGO There was an immense trade to day in wheat, and the market was an unusually wild one, prices varying so rapidly that jumps of c to lo were made in May and June, and ip to Jc in July without a trade. Excitement was at fever heat, and so anxious were buyers at times that offers of c to 1c above what previous sales wero made at were rapidly accepted. Buyers fairly jumped for the wheat. At times tbe mirket was bare of offerings for May and June, and tbe sharp ad vance in prices in these deliveries carried up the more deferred futures, but tbe advance uas not so great as in the nearer futures. May opened IKc higher, and sold up 6c more reaching $1. then eased off and closed at5c higher than yesterday. Up to noon prices ranged from 9-le to 9Sc. and then jumped to 09c toil very quickly. Juno advanced 6c, and closed about IJc higher than yesterday. July was very erratic, and opened from jcto lc higher than yesterday's closing, aavtnced very irregularly 3(S3c more, and closed 3c higher than yesterday. Orders came pouring in from all quarters, the majority to buy, though a good many selling orders were received from uarties. who. havlnz Drorlt3 in their favor, wera disposed to realize. Parties who bad sold yes terday In expectation of lower marKet on pros pects of rain, covered freely to-day. Trading was general and individuality was almost lost in tbe shuttle. A prominent trader was reported as having bought freely and there were some parties who thought it was short' wheat. There was nothing new in the situa tion, tbe excitement and nervousness being at tributed to the continued dry weather in the Northwest and bad crop news. Although cloudy weather was reported in tne Northwest scarcely any rain ba3 fallen with the exception of a slight shower at Duluth and St. Paul. Ad vices from South Dakota report the ground dry as powder and high winds blowing seed out or tbe ground. Several dispatches of this tenor were received from tbe Northwest, To offset these advices, however, a harvester company claimed that if ram came within a week or ten days the crop would be all right. Tho acreage m tbe Northwest while smaller In some Sections is larger in others, and may on the whole be as large as last year. FEEE-TO.MOK.ROW-FB.EE.

Copeland & Blair, says: Every fall for the past five years I h-we been troubled with cbronio dvspepsla. llave tried countless remedies and various physicians without any relief.

St. Paul earnings for the fourth week of April increased S71.130 gross. The sentiment on Atchison, Ht. Louis and San Francisco and At lantic and Pacific issues is so favorablo that it is sato to predict closer alliances between these roads. Rock Island, which runs two long arms of road into the Southwest, also maintains its firmness wonderfully well considering its limited earnings. In the presence of these facts, the relatively low price ot Gould's Missouri Pacific and his Sphinx-like silence or vagueness of expression, create the impression that, astute as be is, the Atchison and Rock Island people may bave been getting the better of bim in the South west, and perhaps stealing some of the business heretofore obtained by his road. The Lead Trust is now earning money under its able, business-like management.
