REAL ESTATE CHANCES.
Ths Priss f Cnrbondalo Property Is
Literally Bowsing Thou Days, as Will
Appear froea tk, Sam Set Forth IWlow.
Notwithstanding the prediction that
the price of real estate In this city Is
declining, property la still on the boom,
as may easily be seen by the prices
paid for various' properties in the Inst
few -eeks. Among those who have
investe ? their money in r;Rl estate Is
Furniture Dealer A. Berry, who yes
terday purchased of Miss I'.lnnche Ar
nold the property on North Main street
-which has been occupied by Michael B.
"White. The plot In question Is one of
the most desirable pieces of property
In the city, having a frontage of thirty
toet on Main street and beliiK seventy
five feet deep. The consideration paid
by Mr. Berry was $6,000. which disap
proves the prophecy that real estate is
on the decline. The house which Is now
on the lot will be at once torn down
and work on a three or four story build
ing will be begun shortly. The new
building will be of brick and will h:ive
all the modern Improvements. Includ
ing these will be an elevator which will
run to the top. The building will prob
ably be devoted to the exclusive use
of Mr. Berry and his rapUUg growing
business was one of the principal rea
sons for 'Mr. Berry's purchase. He can
carry but a small stock in the store he
now occupies, and half of Ms storage
room being separated from the main
tore makes it very inconvenient. The
rooms -rill not be partitioned off. and
will afford an excellent opportunity for
(he display of furniture.

was caused by a culvert being blocked
up and the track washed out by the
overflow.
This, r h? c'a'ms. was due to negligence
on tr.e pan or tne rauroaa company,
as the culvert was not p-operly con

of the roadbed at that point is culm,
which was easily wahed away by the

should bs ballast which would not wash

met last night to ask for semi-monthly
payments. In case their request Is re

A more clearly defined feeling Is ap
parent in the coal trade that the plan
for rehabilitation will not change the
management of any of the properties,
but will restrict their outputs and fix
their coal-selling prices through the
Sales Agents' association. The situa
