?&?& "PP' &&WF. T A WILD WEST IDEA Utilized in the Construction of a Flat on the Korthside. KEPAIKS TO TENEMENT HOUSES. A Sharp Reaction in Electric, but Coal and Gas Stocks Score Advances. THE XEWS AXD GOSSIP OP TOE C1TI One of the completest flats or apartment houses so far erected in either city is owned by Mr. S. P. Harbison. It is situated on McClure avenue, Allegheny. The buildine is three stories high, with six rooms and bath on each floor, and is so arranged that access to one story is independent of the others. The entrance is through a vesti bule by three doors, corresponding to the number of the floors. The buildine: stands on a lot 40x150, and cost about ?12,000. It has just been com pleted. The idea worked out in its con struction was imported from St. Louis. It possesses several novel features which must be seen to be fully appreciated. The agents, Alexander Legirate A Son, will take pleasure In exhibiting tte bunding to owners, archi tects or an; others in quest of new ideas in this line. ft Landlords and Tenants. A correspondent wants to know if it is the custnrn in Pittsburg for landlords to keep their booses in repair. The law requires tenements to be kept in habitable condition, but all else is matter of agreement. Leases generally specify that all changes and improvements shall be at the expense of the tenant. Some landlords contr;e this provision literally and refuse to do anr'hins in the way of repairs, while others are quite liberal. Generally, however, when a landlord sets a good tenant he wants to keep him, and bears the expense of maintaining fences, irates, walks, eta, in a (rood condition. 'Ibis matter should be understood before leas ing. For tho Children. Societies have been organized in several of the Eastern cities for the establishment of parks and playgrounds for children. The move ment is a good one and deserves support, es pecially in the smaller cities and touns where no such parks exist, and where, at present, it is not a difhcult or costly matter to provide them. It has been demonstrated that the es tablishment of public parks, including both tho cost of original purchase and of improvement, is a wise expenditure from the business point of view, bj increasing the value of adjacent property, and by making the city more at tractive as a place of pcrminent residence for men of means, to saj nothing ot the effects 1 snch open spaces ana recreation grounds on the health, morals and manners of the people. Western Pennsjlvama. fnll of flourishing cities and towns, is a good field for improve ment o this kind. lSasimt News and GosIp. Business was a little offjeslerday on ac count of the rain. It was blue Monday in deed. It is stated that the breakage of glass m windows from shocks by heavy blasts may be prevented by pasting on the class strips of paper crossing each other in different direc tions. These, it is said, will prevent or stop the vibrations produced by a shocK, which are the cause of breakage of the gUss. The largest of 22 mortgages on file for record yesterday was tor JS,53J.

Klectric Stock Falls Itack, but Coal and Gas Come Higher. There was a revulsion of sentiment In Elec tric circles yesterday, as shown by the drop in the price of the stock, but this was probably due to a plethora of selling orders, with a scarcity on the other side. Some maintained the decline was a natural reaction from the rapid advance of last week. The first sale was at 1GJ and the last at 15JJ. The close was 15 bid. The strongest of the active stocks were New ""fork and Cleveland Coal and Philadelphia Gas. Tne former was bid up to 40. with more offered, and the latter sold as high as IS, clos ing at 12 bid. Switch and Signal was a tnfle firmer, while the Tractions, although more active, showed little chance in figures from those ruling last week. Total sales were SU9 shares. THIRD CALL.

A Strong Turn and Everything Tfos Uni form Low Priced Securities Were In General Demand and Got All the Important Advances. New York, Feb. 9. The stock market to day w as quiet but strong almost from opening to close, and while the improvement in prices was in all but a fow specialties confined to fractional amounts, everything traded in felt the strong tone, and the improvement was gen eral and I aiily uniform. The low priced securi ties are now attracting more attention daily, aua to-day they scored almost all of the im portant advance. There was no stock pressing for sale to-day, though there was some selling by London and a little hammering by the bears wherever they thought there was a vulnerable spot, but these efforts resulted in nothing, and the improve ment in prices went forward steadily till the cloe. Pacific Mail was again advanced upon favorable rumors in regard to tho shipping bill, and at times bt. Paul, Union Pacific, Rock Island and Atchison led "the movement anion;; the usually active list. North American bo came a feature late in the day, and scored a material gain in addition to Sugar. The move ment m the rest of the list, however, was con fined to small limits, and the market, while closing dull to firm to strong, was only slightly changed from Saturday's figures except in Jerser Central, which is up 1, North Ameri can , Sugar 1, new Sugar stock 2 Chesa peake and Ohio first preferred l'i, and Sus quehanna and Western preferred 1 Railroad bonds were fairly active, with a steady tone and small changes. The sales reached 1,665.000. The marked changes were few and show a majority of losses. St. Louis and Arkansas certificates lost 2 at 80. Government bonds have been dull and steady. State bonds have been entirely neglected. The Post says: The early London prices for American stocks were lower this morning, and London was thought to be selling some stocks, but the London market is now so Wire of the speculative class of American securities that all of that kind likely to come from there would have little effect on a market as strong as there appears to be. Almost the only feature of the situation which now obstructs an important rise in both stocks and bonds is the uncertainty about tbe possibility of some blunder on the part of Cungresk in regard to free coinage.

PEHDLHG HUPTIALS IHTEHEUPIED BY A CLEVER ETJSE. A 111 uslilng Bride Deceived Into Marrying the "Wrong Man, TVhlle Her Lover TVas Drugged and Kept Away Cupid's Final Triumph- Paris, Tex., Feb. 9. Pecan Gap, a small way station 25 miles south ou the Santa Fe railway, near the Fannin and Delta county lines, was the scene a few days since of a highly romantic occurence where love plotting and friends played parts It is impossible to give; the names, since they are not known, they being strangers. A young lady was wooed by two suitors. One gained the favor of the parents. The other was the more pleasing to the damsel, and she being of that age when she could marry whom she pleased, the likes of the parents were not regarded in tbe premises. The courtship progressed so well that the young people set the day on which to begin their new life, and apparently recognizing that any opposition would be futile, the parents made no opn resistance. The wed ding was to occur on Monday night last, but the parents and the suitor of their choice planned, and successfully, a differ ent wedding to the one the invitations were issued for. The bridegroom lived sev eral miles away, and just before he was to start to his sweetheart's home, several young men dropped in to congratulate him. With them they brought a bottle of wine. As the young man started !. ... .....) ., ..Ail an1 a tn'cnn buia ua jiuuu.u mmu o..nut. was onerea to nis success. .Lueyisuors nere in the parents' plan and the wine was dragged so that he became helpless and was easily disponed of so as not to appear at the wedding, aud meanwhile tbe parents had managed tbe daughter in much the same fashion, so that when she was led, supported by ber parents, before the min ister, she was unconscious that the man who stood beside her, and to whom her vows were plighted, was not tbe man-of her choice. The wonder of the guests at the change was quieted by an explanation from her parents that she had discarded the old love and taken on a new. ' Yesterday morning when the bride awoke and discovered the foul plot, of which she was the victim, she was greatly outraged, and at once left home, and taking the first train came to Ambia to some friends and sent for her lover to meet her. Steps will be taken at once to nrocure a divorce, and then in spite of all, the young couple will achieve their deferred happiness. It is highly probable that there will be other reckonings over tbe matter. LATE MWS IN BRIEF. The State Line ana Eastern Railway has been incorporated at Indianapolis, with ,a capital of 2,500,000.

It "Was as a Wrestling Match on the Chicago Exchange After a Strong Fight the ' Bulls Carried Off the Laurels -ot Victory. CHICAGO It was a day of surprises in the wheat pit. The operators were like well matched contestants In a wrestling bout, first one and then tbe other party being uppermost, and tbe victory in the end was a narrow one, but such as-it was rested with the bulls. Wheat for May delivery is ifi higher tban tbe close of the market on Saturday. A fair amount of steadiness was the first characteristic of tho trading, followed in a few minutes by decided weakness. Tbe price for May at the start was 97c, with plenty of sellers at 97c, with a tightening transformation to 97c, and as quick a change to 9c. 97c and down to 99c before buyers again predominated. The fluctuations here noted occupied the first half hour of the session. Tbe predominating influence at the opening was the .cold wave hurrying hitber waro from the Northwestern storm reserve, and this was succeeded by tbe easy wheat mar ket at Liverpool, and tbe expectation of not over 200,000 bushel decrease in tbe official visi ble supply; but tbe chief disturbing factor to holders near the opening was the heavy re ceiptssat primary markets. Cautions local speculators were indisposed to sell short over a week's decline aggregating 5 cents per bushel, and easily persuaded themselves wnen prices began to recover from the break noted above that least dangerous operation was to buy "for a turn." The local crowd was encouraged in the above conclusion by a good many outside buying or ders, and belore they called a bait tbe prices of May wheat had advanced to 9798a Early in tbe day Linn, Cudabay and Pardridge were the sellers most prominent and persistent, but cov ered on tbe break. At tbe behest price the prominent speculators named were sellers once more, and the crowd was with them. Leopold Bloom bought heavily ou the first ad vance, and at 97J4cbe was bidding only for a quarter of a million. From 97098c for May there was a rapid de cline commencing after the visible supply was posted, and 96c was reached, with every ap pearance of a further break, when it was whis pered around tbat Liverpool stocks bad de creased 600,000 busbels in a week, and the crowd having sold itself short aealn became alarmed, and in their efforts to clear them selves tbe price shot up in five minutes to 97c. The opening strength of wheat made first trades in corn close to the latest quotations of Saturday. May opened at 53c. with sales at 53Jic and also at53c. There were a few sales soon at 5353c ami these were quickly fol lowed by a slump of c and after an interval of trading around 53c weakness became the predominating feature of the deal, and when a little later the receipts for to-morrow were esti mated at 484 cars, the market lost all rallying power and upheld only by covering purchases by those previously short as prices gradually shrank. Tbe lowest price on tbe decline was 52c, and at tbe close sellers were offering it at 62c or c lower than on Saturday; Oats attracted comparatively little attention, tbe market being dull with moderate trading in all the active futures. Milmine-Bodman and Schwartz-Dupee weie the principal sellers, the buying being scattered. Tbe provision trade was scarcely prepared for receipts of 60,000 hogs, which was the number tbe early advices from stock yards announced. The receipts were even further increased 2,000. There was a rush to sell at the opening, pork standing 15c under Saturday's closing figures aud lard aud ribs at a decline of 10c These prices were too tempting to be resisted by tbe shorts and con sequently there was a rally and steadier feeling after tbe first few minutes, and in the course of day a recovery which left tbe loss to specula tive holders. Measuring it bv the closing prices of to-day and Saturday only 2c on pork, 5c on lard and 7c on ribs. Tbe estimates for hogs for to-morrow are 45,000 head.
