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. A large amount of
Indebtedness of this kind was satisfied last
week.

HOME SECURITIES.
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.

and cloed at SOKc bid. About 10,000 barrels
changed hand.
There was no change In refined. Average
runs, 71,293; average shipments. 69.759. The
belief that the Wildwood field has seen its best
seems to be the main factor lu boosting the
price.

MY YORK STOCKS.
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.

Country Produce Jobblnc Prices.
Trade in this line Is quiet and the situation
continues in favor of the buyer. Receipts of
potatoes have fallen off the past few days, but
not enough to srtve strength to marKcis. Sales
on track are from SI 00 to SI 10 and from store
$1 15 Is tbe top price. Cabbage is very dull and
slow, supply being in excess of demand. Fruits
of all Unas are quiet. Markets are over
stocked with Florida oranges and lnide rates
prevail. Eggs have found a Ion er level ana tbe
top of markets Is now 23c per dozen, with sales
generally a shade below this figure. Demand
for choice creamery batter is somewhat im
proved, but old prices stand. Choice grades of
Ohio cheese are scarce and markets are'tirm at
the recent advance. A wet Monday, such as
to-day has been, rarely furnishes any crumbs of

A 111 uslilng Bride Deceived Into Marrying

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

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.

MARKETS BY WIEE.
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.
The leading futures ranged as follows, as cor
rected by John M. Oakley & Co., 45 Sixth street,
