WEST SIDE EVENTS.
Mott Homestead on Jackson Street Is
Beiof Torn Down to Make Way for
i More Modem Structure.
The old Mott homestead one of the
oldest landmarks on this side Is being
torn down by its owner, L. P. Williams,
to make room fur a more modern struc
ture. The house Is sltuuted on the
northern side of Juckaun street, be
tween Lincoln and Keuecca avenues.
It has quite a history and the tule was
unfolded to a Tribune reporter last
night by Mr. Frank V. Mott, who sur
vive her husband at the use of 55
year.
Mrs. Mott now lives on North Hyde
Vark avenue. She left the old home
stead in 1SU2. at which time the pres
nt owner took charge. Mrs. Mott is a
daughter tf James Kilmer, one of the
vriglnal settlers In this valley, who "In
the beginning" tilled a farm on the
land now covered by several blocks be
tween Jackson street and the northern
limit to Hyde Park. On this farm. In
1S29, when Mr. Kilmer came here, was
the customary old farm house. This
house Is the Oram homestead on the
corner of Jackson street and Sumner
avenue, a block's distance from the
house now being torn down. How long
this farm house existed prior to '?J
Mrs. Mott could not say. She was born
there In WW, and in 1SU0 her father, Mr.
Kilmer, sold the farm, 1-0 aciet in all.
to Puncoast & Price, of New York city,
v1k: was represented in the transaction
by Dr. H. H. Throop, the well known
Hcr.mton pioneer.
The New York firm bought the land
for the wealth of coal under It. When
he sold the farm Mr. Kilmer reserved
three acres of sacred ground. There
the family cemetery was located, and
on this plot the Mott" homesteud was
built during the winter of 'M-'u3. Up to
a few years ago the mouldering tomb
stones of the sturdy pioneers could be
seen staring from the foliage of the
Mott garden.
In the spring of 1860 Mr. Kilmer mov
ed West and settled near Juynesville
In Rock township, Michigan. His
daughter, Harriet C. (Mrs. Mott), about
that lime met and married F. V. Mott
and since that time until a few years,
ago Miey have taken rare of the old
home. This Is why the house is called
the Mott homestead by th present gen
eration. It Is a venerable structure.
Though suffering In years, when com
pared to Its aged mother homestead
down the street, yet the Mott home
looks ancient and picturesque. The
stories are two In number and in the
upper there are three llttlo peep holes,
called In tliofee days windows. The In
terior arrangement Is of pleasing sim
plicity. There Is the customary spa
clous vestibule leading to the rooms of
the first floor. Kvery apartment is
square and the stairs are narrow and
quaint. Hut the porch Is the best of ull.
It Is a small affair with four support
ing pillars of Colonial style. Add to
the features the clinging vines and sur
rounding shrubbery and we have quite
a pleasing dwelling of "ye olden time."
In tearing down the house the work
men found the timber to be In fairly
good condition. In the rear garret an
old spinning wheel was discovered.
This tells a story In Itself. It Is a regu
lar old tinier.
Mrs. Mutt chatted at length ubout the
early days of Hyde Park. She remem
bers when only eleven houses could be
counted between the old White hotel
on Main avenue to the back road.
There were several farms but the foul
craze ate them as the years advanced.
People who wtsh to witness the pass
ing of she "ye" have only a few days
left; the Oram house is being repaired
and the Mott homestead Is cringing
under the feet of Progress.
Speaking of the development of Hyde
Park Mrs. Molt says that In 'KU-'ltt three
brick buildings were erected here. They
were the Potter und Mears homes and
Fuirchild's hotel. It was after the war
that Hyde Park took a good leap for
ward and for the past ten years the
advance, says Mrs. Mott, has been
greater than ail.

After long weeks of suffering Mrs.

MARKETS AND STOCKS
Wall 8tret Review.
New Tork, July 21. The announce
ment that the New York city banks
had determined to place a part of their
gold at the disposal of the government,
thus restoring the treasury gold re
serve to tha hundred million mark,
changed the temper of speculation at
the stock exchange from weakness to
strength. This had a particularly good
effect In London and the early cables
brought higher prices and numerous
orders for St.' Paul, Louisville and
Nashville and some of the railway
mortgages dealt In abroad, estimates
place this buying aa high as 25,000
shares of stocks and $500,000 railway
and other bonds. In addition to these
favorable factors It was stated that the
banking Interests wete at work on a
plan by which It Is believed gold ship
ments can be diminished. Various
suggestions have been made but noth
ing definite has been agreed upon as
yet. 'Even If the conferences on this
subject should come to naught one
thing can be relied upon, and that Is
the city banks will do everything with
in reason to help the treasury depart
ment. Some bankers want to place
their entire stock at the disposal of the
government subject to call by Secre
tary Carlisle. This manifestation of
confidence stiffened I'nlted States four
shillings of lyB. and the bonds ad
vanced to 114, a gain of V. from the re
cent low point. Buying of securities
was stimulated during the afternoon
by a falling oh In demand for sterling
exchange and actual transactions In
the latter were reported at figures Vc.
below the quotations current at the
opening. The decline in the exchange
ought to stop exports of the metal on
Thursday und It probably will. The
gain In stocks at one time during the
day was equal to . to 4 per cent., every
prominent Issue on the list participat
ing in the upward movement. - The
Industrials, Grangers and Internation
als, however, were most conspicuous
in the rise. Near the close the market
suddenly dropped Vt to 3 per cent.,
Burlington and Qulncy leading. The
slump was generally credited to sales
by a leading bear operator who has
beep, unusually successful of late.
Other big bear traders stood aloof,
however, and no adequate explanation
for the drop could be obtained. Specu
lation left off Irregular and In the main
weak. Net changes show losses of
01 per cent., except for Northwest,
General Electric, St. Paul and Kansas
and Texas preferred, which gained 14al
per cent. Lake Shore, however, gained
4 and Minnesota Iron 6 per cent. Total
sales were 353,659 shares.
