the time has come when a struggle must take
place Detween the Juniors and Seniors for su
premacy in this organization. The Stenbenvllle
aflair. brought on partially through both fac
tions, but forced now by the -Seniors, is the
most disastrous that could have occurred to
the organization in Ohio, and it is to be hoped

the wise judgment that becomes a dignified
body having tho welfare of their organization
at heart, and grant the charter applied for.

case which is of vast importance to import

law. The latter protested, claiming the
duties charged were too high, and the case
was referred to the Board of Appraisers at

here.

Circuit Court in this city for a decision.

jurisdiction in the case, and Judge Thayer
to-day decided that this court has jurisdic
tion, and has .issued an order upon the New

DEAL IN LIBERTY STREET REALTY
The Pro-Cathedral Parochial School Bnild
Ins Postponed for a lear.
HAZELW00D ACREAGE CGAN6ES HANDS
Captain J. J. Tandergrift has made
another investment on Fourth avenue,
having purchased from Dr. Lc Moyne the
property No 167 on that thoronehfare for
540,000. The lot has a frontage of 25 feet on
Fourth avenue and runs back along Scrip
alley 110 feet. The building is a good three
story brick, and is occupied by a number
of people as offices. Confidence in real es
tate by such a man as Mr. Yandergrift
should have a wholesome effect upon the
market. This deal is another illustration of
the fact that local capitalists are turning their
attention more and more to this form of invest
ment. Later it was ascertained that the sale was
made by Samuel W. Black A Co. Mr. Black
said: "This was a quick sale, the property
having been obtained by us by a recent adver
tisement, although we did not sell It to the
person lor whom we were trying to get a prop
erty." A Liberty Street Deal.
An important deal in Liberty street realty
was consummated yesterday. Mr. W. C. Stew
art sold to L. H. Smith, of the Smith Willow
wareCompany.the lot on Liberty 6treet,26xll0,
occupied until the recent fire by the L. H.
Harris Drug Company, for $17,000. Mr. Smith's
business has Increased in the last few years so
fast as to compel him to seek more capacious
quarters. It is his intention to break ground
at once on the lot just purchased for an eight
story steel-beam, stone-front building, to cost
about S43.000. The building will be so arranged
as to permit of a classification ot the goods, a
system quite common in large eastern cities,
but a rarity In Pittsburg.
Acreage Changes Hands.
It was reported yesterday that the Oliver
estate at Hazelwood, between 9 and 10 acres,
with 3 or 4 dwellings, bad changed ownership
at a price approximating JS5.000, the purchaser
being a prominent iron mauufacturer.
Postponed for a Tear,
It is understood that the parochial sohool
buildlog.for which a site was recently acquired
on the corner ot North and West Diamond
streets, Allegheny, by Bishop Phelan, through
the firm of J. B. Larkin & Co., will not be com
menced this year, owing to sufficient reasons.
There is no purpose to abandon the project,
however, and the delay is only temporary. The
building will be erected next year beyond a
doubt. Plans and money are ready.
A New Business Center,
Wick City, the new suburb of Kittannlng, Is
forging ahead like a young giant. Charles
Somers A Co. report the sale ot SI lots there
last week. Outsiders are coming in rapidly.
Plans tor 28 dwellings have been prepared, and
they will be started at once. Lots are selling at
the rate of 5100 a foot front. A big gasser has
been struck in the Immediate vicinity, which
will Increase the attractions of the place. It is
well known that KiftannlDE Is the center of
the largest undeveloped gas field In the State.
Wick City promises to be a great manufactur
ing place. A tract of five acres has been re
served for a large Eastern concern, which will
break ground for a plant tho coming summer,
A local company proposes to build another.
Mr. A. P. Miller, of the above-named firm, who
spent several days there last week, said yester
day: "Wick City is destined to be the business
center of Armstrong county"
Lively in the East End.
Bast End realty continues to move, as the
frequent sales out there show. Gilt-edged resi
dence property was never In better demand in
that part of tile city. Among the transactions
occurring out there during the week was the
sale by Baxter, Thompson & Co. of a new two
story house, ow ned by Thomas IL Chapman, on
the corner of Ellsworth avenue and Graham
street. Twentieth ward, with a lot 50x160. for
17,000. The purchaser, a Pennsylvania Bail
road official, will occupy the placs as a resi
dence. Good Roads and Land Values.
The following, from a correspondent in
Orange. N. J shows conclusively that good
roads enhance land values. There is a wide
field in Western Pennsylvania for this kind of
improvement: "A few years ago I bought i5
acres of larl for $1,500 an acre, not far from
Orange, I opened up the land and put iu the
best kind of 12-inch Telford road. This, with
other improvements, brought the expenses of
the land to me up to SlOa front foot. Pretty good
price, you saj T Well, wait a minute. I .sold
that land pretty nearly as fast as I could draw
up the deeds, and I sold nono of it for less
than 80 a front foot. There were 17 acres on
the other side of the road owned by the same
man ot whom I bought. This he offered me at
the time I bought the first tract for $1,200 an
acre, but I didn't buy it. The improvements
which I put on the adjoining land gave this
second tract a boost also, and 1 was very glad in
the course of a year to buy it at $2,000 an acre.
1 Improved it a3 I did the other tract, and in
less than two months I sold enough of it to pay
the purchase price and cost of improvements,
and I still own a part of it which I can sell to
day, if I want to. for $100,000. Every dollar that
I have made out of that land I made because
I improved the roads,"
Signs of a Settlement.
The impression is gaining ground thot build
ers and carpenters have agreed upon the basis
of a settlement, and that there will be no strike.
On this subject a gentleman who has consideta
ble building on hand said yesterday: "It seems
to be in the air that the eight-hour question is
good as settled. I havo no special authority
for saying so, but 1 believe there will be no
strike, and almost everyone with whom I have
talked during the last few days is of the same
opinion. I hope It is true. There is so much
building to do in this city and vicinity that a
strike would be a positive calamity. With this
danger out of the way, I think we will have a
busy season."
A Southern Enterprise.
. The old and eminently respectable city of
Richmond, Va., is enjoying quite a business re
vival. A new suburb has been laid out, called
East Richmond. It comprises 800 acres of val
uable land, and $1,000,000 will bo expended upon
it in Improvements. The company doing this
work is represented in Pittsburg by Charles
Somers & Co., one or whom said yesterday: "I
think this is one of the greatest enterprises of
tho day. It is a splendid opportunity for
Northern capitalists tu invest safely and profit
ably. As a residenre location Richmond is un
surpassed. This will attract outsiders to the
new suburb. Improvements will comprise
everything necessary to convenience and com
fort electric cars, water-works, schools,
churches, and railroad communication with all
parts of the country. Several large manufact
uring concerns aro located near by. I think
new Richmond is the coming city of the Old
Dominion."

HOME SEGURITIES.
Electrio .Opens Weak, hut Braces Up on
Bullish News From Boston Philadel
phia Gas Maintains Its Grip
Eastern Speculators Shaky.
The only features of special interest de
veloped In local stock circles during the week
were the alternations ot the strength and weak
ness in Electric, and tha general steadiness ot
Philadelphia Gas. Sales yesterday were 170
shares; for the week, 3.260, of which 1,795 were
Electric and 944 Philadelphia Gas. As a gen
eral thing, the close was at about the top.
Electric was dull on call yesterday, Boston be
ing quiot and few orders in. After call, how
ever, it firmed up on the strength of a moro
bullish feeling at the Hub, and the receipt of a
few orders, presumably from the same place.
On call it was quoted at 11 and U. The later
impetus sent it up to about 12, which was the
Boston figure.
Mr. Westinghouse was expected to reach the
city last night and return to Isew York to
morrow. It is now known that he has been in
constant communication with the committee
of creditors, and It is believed that his state
ments to them have been satisfactory.
Trading was dull at the wind up on an unsat
isfactory ban.1; statement and a widespread
feeling in the East that a monetary stringency
is impending. There may be some ground for
this apprehension so far as Wall street is con.
cerned, but funds aro easy for legitimate busi
ness, and likely to remain so during the season.
The "scare" is no doubt due to the bad condi
tion of Argentine finances and a few European
failures. In this country the situation seems
to be steadily Improving.

Bank Exchanges Make a Good Showing
Business Steadily Improving.
The volume of Clearing House exchanges
the past week was considerably more than
$1,000,000 greater than for the week before.
This shows that business is on the mend. An
other good feature was the scarcity of cur
rency, showing that it is not hoarded, but
actively employed.
The supply ot money was adequate to all the
requirements of business. The call for dis
counts was better than lor some time, showing
a broadening tendency to bniness. Hatei

TEE 'WEEK 1H OIL,
Price Shrinks About a Cent on Very XJght
Trading.
There was no trading in oil yesterday, the
buying element failing to show up. The range
of fluctuations was restricted to KJ of a cent.
The opening, highest, lowest and close was
76 At the wlndup 76J was bid.
The market was strong and weak by spells
daring the week. The highest point reached
was 78, and the lowest TI. As compared with
Monday's opening, Saturday's figures showed a
loss of about 1 cent.
The only reason for the weakness developed
yesterday was the unsettled condition of the
outside stock markets and apprehensions of a
money squeeze. Otherwise the conditions were
Dullish, tho decline In production and increase
in shipments being conspicuous.
There was no change in quotations on refined,
but a hint was conveyed in a London telegram
that it would be marked up this week.

NEW YORK STOCKS.
The Share Market Continues Active and
Weak, With Aggravated Bear Balds
Material Losses All Along the
Line Bank Statement.
New York, March 7. The stock market to.
day was fairly active, especially for the leading
stocks, but remained weak, and, notwithstand
ing heavy coverings of shorts, shows material
losses for the day all along the line. The news
from abroad was again disquieting, and the sit
uation iu the Argentine Republio was repre
seated as being serious, which condition of af
fairs was reflected in the Loudon market by
lower prices for all securities.
There was no Dercentible selling of stocks In
this market for foreign account, but the pro
fessional element in tue room was Dearisn to a
man, .and notwithstanding the more hoDcful
sentiment on the street, were enabled, by the
freo offering of short contracts, to canse
further marked losses in many of tbe leading
shares, the general list of low-priced and in
active shares being still comparatively neg
lected. As during the past few days, the
Grangers and coal stocks felt the brunt of the
pressure, but there was evidence of consider
able support in tho Villards, and those stocks
were rather firmly held. The Var,derbilt. on
tho other hand, yielded readily, as did also New
England, Louisville and Nashville and Missouri
Pacific. The opening losses extended to per
cent, but at the lowest figures the declines
reached as high as 2 per cent in IllinoU Central.
Tho discovery of au uufavorablo bank
statement was also one of the moving forces in
the early raif, but the issue of tbe statement,
with its loss of nearly 3,000,000 of the surplus
reserve, wa3 unaccompanied by any demonstra
tion other than the effort to recuperate the
shorts put out uo to-day. The dealings were
principally of that character, and in the Grang
ers, Missouri Pacific and Villards' the rally from
the lowest prices reached more than 1 per cent
in many Instances. The close was, therefore,
quiet but firm at the improvement. The final
changes are generally confined to fractions,
however, tho only marked losses being 1 in
New England and 1 per cent in Canada South
ern. Railroad bonds displayed the usual quiet
business, bnt bympathized more than ot late
with the depression in stocks, and some
marked losses were sustained. Tbe business of
the day reached onlj $123,000 with considerable
animation in Atchison issues. The Texas
Pacific incomes and Buluth and Iron Range
firsts are up 2 to B9.
The exports of specie from the port of New
York last week amounted to 81.495,065, of which
000.541 was in gold and 501,521 in silver. The
imports of specie during the week amounted to
218,765, of which $139,631 was in gold and $109,
081 lu silver.

Speculation Crippled by Argentine Matters
Foreigners Unloading Americans.
The situation in the speculative center of
America is interesting, as shown in the follow
ing telegraphic letter from Watson A Gibson
to John M. Oakley A Co. :
We can hardly add anything to our letters of
the past fortnight in which, by varied phases,
we tried to express our opinion that the mar
ket was artificial and destined to break sooner
or later. It has been supported in a negative
way by holders who have Deen reluctant to
sell, but who bought no more. Little bears
have been timid and modest because those
whom they have been accustomed to follow
have apparently been committed to the bull
side, and this has taken the nerve and courage
away from the smaller ones.
Argentine matters continue threatening
though to-day and yesterday have been holi
days in Buenos Ayres, arranged by the Govern
ment there to check tbe panicky feeling and
give time for reflection. Hut reflection can
hardly bring agreeable results for the simple
fact is that the cupidity of European invest
ors has furnished a population not much larger
than London itself with 11,000,000,000 In a few
years under the temptation of high interest
rates. That population cannot take care of
such Indebtedness and some of these foreicn
bouses, most deeply involved, must fall and tbe
Argentine Government itself stop payment be
fore tbe acme of the crisis will be attained.
Ourstock market feels tbe Argentino situa
tion by reflex action through London and more
gold will have to go to the Southland and it
can be bad here more readily than elsewbere.
Then, too, it is the old story of foreign holders
parting with their best American and domestic
investments to protect their cats and dogs in
South America, When things getsettled En
glish capital when-lt goes away from borne here
after, will come this.way and some time will be
a great bull card for our securities but not
yet.
To-day's market was weak, and in many
stocks tbe lowest prices of the year were reg
istered. Tbe bank statement showed a loss of
3.250,000 specie and legal tenders due to in
terior shipments and Treasury absorptions, but
this had no special influence because it was not
unexpected. This close brought a rally of
about halt a point, but this was solely due to
the covering of shorts by room traders, who,
seeing tbe falling tendency of values during
the past few days, put out a few Bborts.
Silver does not go down, and it ought not to
go down, nought to and doubtless will go up
for the structure ofjdebt and credit of bank de
posit and financial operations is so ereat that
tbe world's stock of gold is inadequate. A
more liberal policy toward silver is inevitable.
It will all have to be used as money, and but
little of it will continue on the market as
merchandise.

Wheat Still Eiclted and Nervous Some
nigh Quotations Made Fart of the Ad
vance Lost Stock Estimates and
the Foreign Situation.
CHICAGO Price fluctuations In wheat were
nervous and irregular nearly all day. The first
half of the session was particularly exciting.
Despite tbe bearish figures given out by Brad
ttrecl'i and the heavy receipts at Northwest
and Southwest points the market made some
rather high quotations. The principal cause of
it was the extremely firm tone of the foreign
cables and advices of heavy sales of flour at
Minneapolis at an advance of 25I0c over pre
vious prices. May wheat started at 5101. sold
off to SI 00ai OOJi and then speedily climbed
to 1 01K- the wheat sold on this advance car
ried it down to 51 00, and it held steady
around $1 00Jg for a long time. Toward the t
cluae of tho session tbe weight of the long ,
wheat began to bs felt and prices weakened
materially. May wheat sold off to 1 00. ,
Consolidating Beerbohm's and liraustreet's
reports of stocks of wheat in second hands in 1
Kurope, afloat for Europe aud in the United l
States acd Canada on .March 1 would make
89,523,000 bushels or 3,C31,U0 bushels more than
last year. Keunett-llupkius special said: Ar
gentine cables situation is bad. The stoppage
of the payment ot Buenos Ayres loans is inevit
able. A freh currency issue is certain. Tbe run
on the Provincial Bank took 510,000,000. There
is an easy feeling. The stock market declines
on liquidation. Beerbohms' closing cable said:
Pari3,1020 centimes higher;flour,l franc SO cen
times Higher. English country markets Cd to
Is per quarter higher.
Corn made a little show of strength early.but
finally gave way under heavy realizing sales oy
longs and less heavy sales by people who
thought it high enough to sell short. .May
corn started at 59Jc, sold to COc, broke to 5&a
on estimates of heavy receipts for next week.
Oats followed corn. Realizing sales by
Schwartz, Edwards and others carried May
from fiOKo to 49C
Provisions were easier on realizing sales by
outsiders and moderate short selling by pack
ers. The market was not very weak as sales
were not much more than sufficient to supply
the demand.

English. Detectives Spend Large Sums for
Them Only to Lose Them.
Portland, Oee., March 7. An English
detective named Partridge recently secured
possession ot the famous letters of Charles
Hammond, 01 London, but was a few days
ago robbed of them by a man named Tyr
rell. Officers arrived here in hot pursuit,
and expect to have Tyrrell under arrest in a
bort time.
Partridge says he came direct from Lon
don with instructions to secure the letters
at any price and at all hazards. He fol
lowed his man to Australia, then to Cali
fornia, and finally located him here. A.
dicker was made and a compromise effected
whereby the holders were paid several thou
sand dollars for the letters in question, a
number of which were from noted persons
in England.

BABE FACTS.
The Whole Matter Conclusively
Summed Up,
THE SUBJECT DISCUSSED.
What is catarrh rCatarrb.as generally kn own,
is a diseased condition of tbe mucous membrane
of the nose and throat.
How caused? Its causes are numerous, but
frequent repetitions of colds, consequent upon
our changeable climate, is the one most gen
eral. What does It lead to? If not treated it leads
to various unhealthy conditions, such as im
paired hearing, loss of tbe sense of smell, weak
ened vision, bronchial affections oftentimes
terminating in consumption. Tbe stomach and
intestines become diseased ill-smelling dis
charges from nose and ears result; in tact, the
whole system becomes affected.
Is it prevalent and can It bo cured? Dr. Carl
Seller, the most eminent throat and nasal spe
cialist in tbe United States, says: "It is esti
mated that about nine hundred and ninety
thousand persons out of one million suffer from
this disease. This very frequencv gives rise to
a popular belief that it it incurable. Yet with
proper and rational treatment a patient can be
cured in a comparatively short time."
The preceding should prove conclusively that
we make no false claims when we say that Drs.
Copeland Blair's treatment absolutely cures.
Hundreds of patients can so testify. This week
we add tbe following:
Mr. R. McDonald. Duqucsne, J'a.
Mr. R. McDonald, living at Duquesne, Pa.,
and employed as weichmaster at the Alle
gheny Bessemer Bteel Works, says: "I have
suffered for 10 years. I had pains in the head,
limbs and chest about tho region of tbe heart.
My nose was stopped up. and.there was ringing
noises in my ears. I hawked and spltupmucoas
continually. My eyes wsro weak, aud I suf
fered from nausea and weak stomach. Had no .
appetite, felt dizzy upon rising, and was always'
tired in the morning. I decided to treat with
Drs. Copeland & Blair, and I am glad that I
did. I am free from headaches and puns. My
nose h clear and hearing well. I have regained
my appetite, and in tho morning I feel rested.
My dizziness has left and I feci better to-day
than ever before."
