The Inside Facta Regarding a Big
Piano and Organ Factory.
ANOTHER HEW TOWS' LAID OUT
Mysterious MoTemants of Owners ef Kealtj
to Bide Their Tracks.
THE ADVANTAGES OP OVTOIfiG A HOME
A short time ago it was stated in Thb
Dispatch that arrangements were making
to erect a largo piano and Organ factory
near Coal Valley, 18 miles up the Monon
gahela, on the Pittsburg, Virginia and
Charleston Railroad, concerning which some
additional and important particulars were
obtained yesterday.
Ground for the plant has been donated by
Mr. Corwin, Secretary of the Pittsburg, Vir
ginia and Charleston Railroad, and the
"Wilson heirs, and consists oi 20 acres, elig
ibly situated lor manufacturing purposes.
Tho surveyor finished his work on Friday,
and the necessary buildings, which will be
extensive and costly, will be put under contract
at once. They will be finished as soon as pos
sible, as it is the intention to have this factory
ready for operations by fall. The cost ot the
plant buildings and machinery will closely
approximate 8150,000. ,
The company is a combination of two, one at
Cincinnati and the other at Philadelphia, and
the reason for removal to the new location is to
enjoy the advantages of natural gas and other
helps la their line, tor which Pittsburg and
tributary territory are pre-eminent. The com
pany will employ about 600 hands, and will
endeavor to turn out work of a superior
quality.
Ituas also learned yesterday that a new town
will soon be laid ont Just above Coal Valley, to
be called Corwin, in honor of tho enterprising
railroad Secretary, who, next to the Wilson
heirs, is the principal promoter. Surveys are
now in progress. Extensive car shops for the
Pittsburg, Virginia and Charleston Railroad
will be erected In the new town to give it a
start, and the first residence a very handsome
one wiU be built by Mr. Will S. Stokes, of the
Pittsburg Company, Limited, dealers In real
estate. His plans are completed, and work on
the pioneer dwelling will begin in a week or ten
days.
w
That Squirrel Hill Deal.
The most Interesting movement during the
week, and the one about which most guessing
was done in real estate circles on Fourth ave
nue, was that which comprised the sale of
nearly 100 acres of ground on Squirrel Hill,
bordering on Greenfield avenue, as mentioned
in yesterday's Dispatch. No certain infor
mation could be bad as to tho purpose of the
purchasers, but the most reliable intimations
pointed to the development of the ground by a
passenger railway to Homestead, connecting
with the new Duquesne Traction Company's
venture. Tho Messrs. Burchfleld wore the
agents who negotiated the sale of these prop
erties. They have been very active and suc
cessful in that district.
w
Operating In the Dark.
Curious people are found in every branch of
business mysterious people who go about sur
rounded by a sort of Homeric cloud to conceal
their movements. If they buy anything they
will not tell you what it cost; if they travel
they will not tell you where they are going or
what they are going to do. Like shadows they
come, like shadows they depart.
Quite a number of real estate owners belong
to this class of mortals. When they buy or
sell their chief concern is to keep the transac
tion secret. One of these gentlemen, who
owns a large amount of property In the city
proper and in tho East End, is about to build a
block of houses not far from Hazelwood. Yes
terday he had a long conference with a real
estate broker whose office is on Fifth avenue,
not far from Grant street, to make arrange
ments about the plans, payments, etc He
wanted everything to go in the name of the
broker, so as not to be identified with
the business in any way, and he left a
large amount of money as an earnest of his
sincerity. Asked his reason for wishing to re
main in the background, he said: "Well, I am
in business. If it should become known that
I am building these houses it would injure me.
People would say: 'He's rich enough; he should
sell bis goods at lower prices, or give us better
terms.' My rivals would also use the circum
stance against me. They would say to my cus
tomers: 'Mr. has made money enough; see
the houses he is building. Give us a chance;
we'll do as well by you as he possibly can, and
perhaps better.' I think, therefore, I had better
keep in the dark."
Another plea for secrecy put forward by
many real estate dealers is that the publication
or transactions ireqnently prevents other deals,
or the securing of options. This may be so in
some instances, where properties are contigu
ous; but it has another aspect. If the city
papers were to ignore the real estate business,
making no reference to It in anyway, it would
soon flatten ont like a flounder. But by calling
attention to it in various ways, by urging peo
ple to buy and establish homes, they keep it
before the public as a lively issue, and thereby
create and maintain an interest which would
otherwise bo wanting. Publicity is the life of
the business. Once let the impression get
abroad that nothing Is doing and stagnation
win be inevitable.
Advantages oTn Home.
No one will seriously question the truth of
the observation that there is nothing which so
greatly conduces to happiness, or Is so calcu
lated to promote habits of thrift and economy
as tho owning of the home In which one lives!
The man who has a homo of his own feels a
sense of permanency and takes a livelier inter
est in things going on around him, than he who
Is a renter. The strongest feeling in man's
strange and complex nature Is the love of
home, and this feeling unsatisfled, as it must
ever be with a rented house, which is at the
best, but a temporary abode, tends to disad
vantage and unbappinoss. So long as he lives
in a rented house he thinks it hardly worth
while to buy new furniture or make any effort
to beautify the place; his wifo and daughters
feel no encouragement to plant flowers, and his
children grow up with none of the softening
ana reaning mnuaneeir ui a ueaitniul home
life. It is no longer difficult In Pittsburg for any
Industrious man uttli economical habits to
possess a home. Comfortable homes of any
size or cost desired, standing on good lots, can
be purchased inanyof the surrounding suburbs
on long time and small payments, amounting
to no more than ordinary rent. Besides, there
are scores of building and loan associations
which are ready to assist, bringing a home
within the reach of almost every workingman
in the city. To refuse these offers and neglect
these inducements, which It is so easy to com
ply with, is more than a mistake It is a crime
against the family and an injury to society.
Movements In Real Estate.
Real estate during the Week wits quiet on the
surface, bat theie was a great deal going on
down below." Business was said by a numhnr
of dealers to be considerably better than at the
same time any previous year. If owners want
to maintain an active market, they must re
strain their demands within reasonable limits.

Nothing Exciting at the Banks, bat Every-
thins; In Good Shape.
Things were quiet In local banking circles
yesterday, but for all that business was in a
very satisfactory shape. Existing influences
which are detrimental to the expansion of busi
ness, and which are so well understood as not
to need repetition here, aro on all sides re
garded as temporary, and with their subsi
dence there will come a revival of activity.
There is rio lack 01 money, energy and skill in
the country to make trade hum. The demand
for discounts was only fair, and checking and
depositing were of moderate proportions.
Funds were abundant for the regnlar trade,
and rates were steady and unchanged. There
is no lack of 6 per cent money for gilt-edged
paper.
The Clearing House report was not quite so
optimistic ifs usual; still, it was largely on the
right side of the account, showing a gain in
bank clearings for the week over those for the
corresponding week in 18S9, of $2,700,000 in
round numbers. This, without the aid of
speculation, is cheering and encouraging. The
report follows:

Money on call at Now York yesterday was
easy, with no loans, closed offered at 0 percent.
Prime mercantile paper, 47. Sterling ex
change quiet and steady at $4 &yi for 60-day
bills and 4 86 for demand.
The weekly statement of the New York
banus, isued yesterday, shows the following
changes: Reserve, decrease, $1,841,750; loan in
crease, $2,382,900; specie, decrease, $2,039,400;
legal tenders, increase. $530,000: deposits, in

Amount m reserve above legal requirements,
$1,483,975.
The exports of specie from the port of New
York last week amounted to $12,600. all gold,
of which $1,200 went to Europe and $11,400 to
South America. The Imports of specie
amounted to $607,510, of which $17,961 was in
gold and $589,570 silver. This Is the first week
in many years that no silver was exported from
that port, and this exception is undoubtedly
due to the anticipated silver legislation.

In Retaliation She Oiled Much Territory
Splits la CornopolU Another Well
Down and Resulta.Ratber
Problematical. -
Developments In the Chartlers Valley are
giving the P. & L. E. R. R., considerable travel
mesa days. The O'Brien well No. 2 aroused
fresh enthusiasm yesterday. She was shot
about noon yesterday with 120 quarts. The
dose was not given because the well was
falling, but because the owners wanted to get
the amber fluid out as quickly as possible and
some of their neighbors say they want to get oil
out of adjoining territory before the latter
reach the sand. Be that as It may, the shot was
a great success. The reaction was immense,
throwing oil up the hillside nearly to
the backbone road. Then the well
took a 20 minute breath and re
sumed operations, cleaning herself without
awaiting help, and putting some sand into the
tank along with the oil. Just what she will do
when cleaned out cannot be stated before to
morrow. Mr. O'Brien and his partners are
Sabbatarians, and ordered that work in that
direction be suspended until after 12 o'clock
to-night. They will allow the well to work on
her own hook to-day, however. She flows at
intervals, and on Computation was found to be
making, with tho dirt in tho hole, 980 barrels a
day.
O'Brien No. 1, the "Folly," is flowing 130 bar
rels a day and shows power to continue that
gait Indefinitely, She has been putting out 50
days now and has produced three times what
the whole property could have been purchased
for at almost any time In several years.
The Coraopolls field has civen the scientists
another black eye. The Kendall well, which
some said was too far down the river, is esti
mated at from 50 to 250 barrels a day, while
'Squire Ferree's well Is said to be hopelessly
dry, and it was "on the line." The Bridgewater
Gas Company's well on Alfred McCabe'sfarm
was also called dry, but yesterday It was stated
that it had given greasy indications and would
be shot before the casing be pulled. George
Lashell's well, near the original Ferree well, is
in qouue, some saying mat IE iooks use a
duster, while others say it may be a payer.
The original Coraopolls well on George
Ferree's farm Is still paying, but has declined
to a point that suggests to the operators the
advisability of giving it a dose of nitro
glycerine. 1

NEW YOEK STOCKS.
The Market Looked Tired and Prices
Barged The General Peeling SiUl
Bullish Marked Activity la
Railroad Bonds.
New Yore, May 10. The stock market to
day, during its Session, maintained the
large volume of business. The market, how
ever, bad a tired look, and prices sagged away
during the greater portion of tho session, al
though the general feeling Is still very bullish
and the nndertone remains strong. Texas Pa
cific on the favorable comments from Mr.
Gould, was active at advancing figures, while
the rest of the list, as a rnle, were sagging
away. The active features were Atchison,
Missouri Pacific, Texas Pacific, Richmond and
West Point, St. Paul, and the Trusts. The
only really strong features of the day
however was Cleveland, Cincinnati. Chicago
and St. Louis, which made a sharp spurt in the
last few minutes' trading and rose 1 per cent,
while Pacific Mall was the weak paint in the
list dropping away upon certain election
rumors. The uncertainty as to the complexion
of the bank statement made the traders in
clined to follow the lead nf the bears and the
demand was not quite sufficient to moet the
pressure, but after the bank statement was
issued there was a dlspostion to take In the
short lines put out earlier, and a smart rally
occurred in the last few minutes' trading
although the losses were not made np. The
close was active, and strong generally at small
fractions below last night's figures. Paciflo
Mail declined lA per cent, bnt this with the
rise in Cleveland, Cincinnati, Chicago and St.
Lodls, were the only important changes for the
day.
Kailroad bonds continued to exhibit the
marked activity of the past few days, and the
sales for the two hours were 1,895,000, out of
which the Texas Paciflo seconds furnished
$417,000, the Iron Mountain was $205,000, the
Wacash seconds $179,000 and the St. Louis,
Arkansas and Texas trust receipts $122,000.
There was the same firm to strong tone with
little special feature to the dealings, and not
withstanding the activity, the Important move
ments in prices were very few in number. New
York. Susquehanna and Western seconds rose
6. to 78; Iron Mountain 5s i, to 94. The sales
of bonds for the week aggregated $16,283,000.

WAIL STREET GOSSIP.
Points for Speculators on Both Sides of the
Market.
Special to John M. Oakley & Co.
BNew York, May 10. The short session of to
day has been lively, and business has been
good, considering the brevity of toil. Bullish
feeling shows no perceptible abatement.thodgh
the switching interest from one stock to an
other produced irregularity for the moment.
The proper caper is to sell out those stocks
which have had a good np-turn recently, and
buy something that has been quietly resting for
awhile. The boom in MissouriPaclDc continued
to-day, bnt it closed at 7$K, after crossing 7B.
Wabash preferred made a good second to-day,
and near the close Cleveland, Columbus, Cin
cinnati and Indianapolis ran up IX. to '&,
without the slightest resistance. Texas Paclhc
wasialso a bull card, and Gould stocks gener
ally are in better favor.
There were some weak points. Atchison and
Sugar, for example, were apparently sold dur
ing the progress of the bull excitement, bnt
inev recovereu laeir loss at the end. Pacific
Mall was tho weakest stock on the list, and
L. 8. and S. C. did nnt sympathize with the gen
ifal Hat. Wa f avor ntirrhnfta nt Pnf n. m.ti

East Tennessee and Georgia earnings for the

Atchison $78,161 twwt u
Small traders are getting pretty full of
stocks and some time early next week this mar
ket ought to get a moderate reaction. It would
be better for it and would not arrest the bull
movementinow in nroeresa.
xne uanK statement to-oay, as foreshadowed J
In our letters this week, showed a loss In re
serves of $1,000,000, the actual loss ot cash being
only a trifle less. Loans were Increased nearly
$2,600,000. Mnnev is In good demand, and rates
next week promise to rule very linn. The
great safety valve In money is London, where it
is cheap. Money, like water, always finds its
level, and foreign money will come this way If
our demands are great enough. The approach
ing summer season is the safest period of the
year for a bull market as far as money supplies
are concerned.
Business throughout the country is active, as
is attested by the large volume of Clearing
House exchange and railway trafde. The tem
per of business outside of Wall street has been
improved by the changed sentiments of persons
frequenting this locality.

progress.
Chicago Grain Market.
CHICAGO Wheat Trading was quite active
again, but the volume of business was not so
large as during the preceding three or four
days. The feeling developed was very nervous
and operators anxiously awaited the Govern
ment report. Prices were very irregular and
covered a very wide range. It was difficult to
do any business in May and trading In June
was also rather unsatlfactory. Trading cen
tered principally in July, with increasing busi
ness in tne mure deferred futures. The open
ing for July was lKlc higher than yester
day's closing, but quickly weakened and prices
declined with numerous small fluctuations
2c from top prices, ruled very lrregnlar with
in the established range, and closed a higher
than yesterday. May wheat closed about lo
higher and June about the same as yesterday.
There was nothing really In outside news to
have caused the unsettled feeling which ex
isted, but the uncertainty of the Government
report made operators undecided which course
to pursue, though the declining prices induced
many operators to sell. There was heavy real
izing during the session. Rain was reported in
the Northwest. The condition of wheat in
California, it was claimed, was 65 against 71
last month. Bt. Louis also sent in some bullish
news, claiming that the crop of Missouri was
reported 25 per cent snort of an average.
Corn was fairly active and unsettled, the
market ruling firm early and weak later. Offer
ings were heavy from all quarters, the country
Selling freely, as well as local warehousemen
and room traders, ihe demand was confined
mainly .to short-. Receipts were light, and
this and wet weather tended to hold up value,
though the firm opening was due to the ad
vance in wheat at that time. The trade cen
tered in July, aud there was heavy trading in
this month around 35. The market opened
Ho better than the closing prices of yester
day, but soon became weaker, and declined,
with slight reactions, Kc rallied a little,
ruled steady and closed i4c better than
yesterday.
Oats were fairly active but unsettled, but the
volume of trade failed to reach the magnitude
ot yesterday. The opening was firmer and J4
Vie higher on the leading futures, owing to
cvld, wet weather, and higher prices for wheat
and corn. The highest prices were recorded at
the opening, but were not maintained long, as
the demand was not large enough, and the
offerings became free. May declined life,
June c and July He, and closed at neatly In
side figures.

HAD GrOT DP H0PJJ
And Was a Mere Wreck of His
Former Self.
ANOTHER NOTABLE RECOVERY,
It is not the face of Longfellow that ap
pears in this column, though the features
bear a strong likeness to those of the Cam
bridge poet. Mr. James Ackelson, whose
face is that reproduced in the portrait, has
lived for 30 years six miles oat of Pittsbnrjf,
at Bemington, Eobison township; just ad
joining Chartiers. He is a carpenter by
trade, but has done no work for five years,
on account of severe catarrhal and bronchial
trouble.
"It had grown upon tne," he said to tha
writer, "until I was a mere wreck of my
former self. I had lost in flesh, my breath
ing was labored and difficult and X was
weak and despondent.
"When did it begin? At least eight years
ago. At that time I wonld have frequent
coughing and sneezing spells. My head
was continually affected. My nose wonld
be stopped np, first on one side, then on the
other.
"After a time my esrs troubled me. Tho
constant bnzzing and ringing sonnds were
enough to distract me. Dull pains in my
head, especially in my forehead, wonld
come on. My throat wonld fill np and I
had to be constantly hemming and raising
to clear it.
?::. siy
Mr. James Ackelson, Hemingion,
''As I grew steadily weaker, sharp pains
wonld take-me in the chest, running through
to my back. At times they wire so bad that
I could not draw my breath on acconnt of
them, and o'ten they would wake me np in
the middle of the night and pain me so that
I conld not raise np in bed.
'Withinthe last few years night sweats
came on. 'My limbs became swollen. 1 '
conld rat hardly anything. A bite or two
cf bread and butter would make my stomach
moat, ana Dnngon norrioie pains and nausea.
"I could onlv sleep 10 or 15 minutes at a time
before I would be awakened by the cboklng
and filling up in my throat. My chest felt as If
there was a terrible weight upon it.
"I became so weak that 1 could scarcely
move around, and every effort was a positive
pain tome. Of ten I bad not strength enough
to get up stairs to bed, but 1 would have to He
down on the sofa until my breathing wonld be
come easier. Soma times my breathing was so
difficult that I feared I would choke to death.
"When I went to Drs. Copeland and Blair I
had d'spalred of ever getting any better. I
was so weak and sick that I could see no hope
for myself. I Improved from the start under
their care, however, and I feel strong and
hearty now. Am 100 per cent better than I was
when I commenced treatment. I feel as if I
had taken a new lease of life."
Mr. Ackelson, who makes this remarkable
statement, lives at the address above given.
His words read like a miracle, but he will be
glad to verify everyone of them.
SYMPTOMS OF CATARRH.
How the Sufferer Can Detsot the Coming of
Trouble.
One of the most common and annoying
effects of catarrh is a continual dropping in
the back part of the throat which is es
pecially noticed while lying down in bed.
Tbe patient affected with this disease feels
fairly well in the afternoon, bnt toward
evening the nose becomes partially stopped,
the voice gets a little husky, and, in some
case, the throat may ieel a little sore, or
stuffed np, and when he retires for the night
the patient finds that, added to his other
symptoms, he cannot breathe thronzh his
I nose, which has become entirely plugged
np, tne result 01 wnicn is mat ne snores to
the annoyance of himself and room mate,
and, in some cases, when the partition is
thin, even his neighbors' lives are made
miserable.
A person so affected will drop off to sleep
only to wake np after a shorter or longer
period by feeling a dropping in tbe back
part of the throat. After passing a wretched
night filled with bad dreams and annoying
sensations, caused by the dropping in the
throat, he will awake in tbe morning not at
all relreshed, bat feeling more tired than he
did the night previous on going to bed.
After getting out of bed in the morning
he finds his throat and upper part of the swal
low filled with slime and mucus which has col
lected there by tbe dropping therein in tho v
night, and which causes a bad taste and a sticky '
sensation in tbe mouth.
Tbe first thing be is called to do Is to rid his
throat of the mucus, which he does by hawk
ing up the offensive material. In some cases
this causes gagging and vomiting. Ihe result
of all this Is a disgust for food, and no break
fast, or a very light one. Is tbe rtsnlt.
But this is not the worst. During the night
Considerable of the offensive mucus Is swal
lowed, and when food is taken into the stomach
it is coated over by this material, and so pre
vented from coming in contact with the di
gestive fluid', the result of which is the food
decomposes, gas is formed, which bloats the
patient up, causing him to belch and tasting
the offensive material. Part of this poisonous
material is absorbed by the blood and taken
Into the system, where It irritates tbe nerves,
causing headache and the thousand and one
little aches and pains that people complain of.
