SETTLING ON LUZERNE STREET.
The settling of last summer, which
affected the territory on western Lu
cerne street, has again begun. Yes
terday and Monday evening Assures In
the ground were noticed and several
foundation walls of houses cracked and
caused the buildings to slope. In an
open lot of ground on Luzerne street
there appears a perfect network of fis
sures. The houses of J. P. Acker, Mrs.
J. M. Acker and the parochial resi
dence of the German Catholic church,
all on South Main avenue, have Buf
fered the roost from the cave-In.
About two years ago the Acker resi
dences were badly damaged. J. P.
Acker at that time expended several
hundred dollars in repairing his prop
erty. Now the foundation walls are
again shaken and it is thought that ,
new ones will have to be placed. The
cause of the settling Is from an old
and unused working of the " Central
mine. The place Is said to be almost
pillurleas and the recent rains have
caused the downfall of the roof in sev
eral places. After last summer's cave
in the Delaware, Lackawanna and
Western company placed a few sup
porting pillars In the vein, but It seems
that they were Insufficient. Evan . E.
Evans, who Is acting assistant general
Inside foreman for the Delaware, Lack
awanna and Western company during

not at home last evening when a Tri
bune reporter called. .

Reynolds, Miss Mamie Jordan, Miss
Greener, Miss Annie Sclioen, Miss Mar
garet Jones and Miss Anna Durkin.
The pupils were Juniors, whose ages
ranged from 10 to 14 years. Miss Vina
Lindsay was the first to seat herself at
the - piano. She played "Golden
Spangles," by Rohm, In a nice, easy
style for one of her years. Miss Lizzie
Stover's selection was "Moroeau Mlg
non." No. 6. by Novara. Her effort
was pleasing to her friends and her
Instructor. A sonatina In C, op. 65. No.

preted by Miss Anna Boland, and Mas
ter Robert Webber,, who might be
called the only boy pianist of the occa

technique bore evidence of careful
training.
The programme of eleven numbers
was concluded by the ladles chorus,

Chord" during the entertainment, but
a solo by Mrs. B. T. Jayne was substl
tilted.

THE WORLD OF BUSINESS
Wall Street Review.
New York. March 10. There were few
features of Interest to the railway and
miscellaneous speculation today. To

shares in a grand total ot 1S9.597 share.
The stock first declined to 72 and then
on heavy transactions rose to 754 with
a subsequent reaction of The
advance In the stock waa ascribed to
covering of short contracts. The aver
age trader is giving this particular
specialty -a wide berth and its erratic
fluctuations are ascribed to manipula
tions to insiders. There waa a little do
ing In Cotton Oil and the stocks were
firmer, the common rising to 15 and the
preferred to 6014. A house credited with
Y underbill connections was the heavi
est buyer and it was also said that the
company had no floating debt. This
stated a latent short interest into cov
ering with the result Just noted. Sugar
was quiet and General Electric firm.
The transactions in Sugar were unusu
ally light amounting to only 2.400
shares. Leather preferred broke to 69
and the stock lacked aupport. In the
railway liat Baltimore and Ohio was In
fair request advancing to 18. The
stock was in better supply in the loan 1
crowd but It still commands M per cent,
for use. All the Ooutd stock were in
demand, the decision on the part of the
directors of the Western Union and
Manhattan to make the usual distribu
tion ot stockholders having had a fav
orable influence. The report of the
Missouri Pacific for the year ending
December SI, 1895, strengthened that
stock, for a time. The Grangers. In
ternationals, Trunk Lines and Anthra
cites were without feature and trading
In them was on an unusually small
scale. The debate In the sennte on the
Cuban matter Is engrossing the atten
