TITMAN'S PURCHASE. Becomes the Owner of the Cather Property and will Put New and Modern Style Dwellings on It. One dny Inst week the Hriiald an nounced Hint the town was nbont to lose several of its most respected and induce tinl citizens by tho departure of Mine In spector Stein's fatally nud that Mr. Stein's removal was forced because he had been unable to secure a suitable residence in town. It Is with pleasure that a change ot determination is recorded on Mr. Stein's part. His family will remain here, nnd the desire for a suitable residence will be met. The announcement, with tho comment that It was a pity to see good citizens leave the town because of a lack of proper dwellings, aroused the interest of Mr. C. E. Titmau and, as a result, he has become tne purcuaser 01 tne uatuer property ou West Oak street. All negotiations urn complete with tbe exception of the delivery of the deed and that will be rortncomlng within a few days. The price fixed for tho property Is $0,500. When Mr. Titman becomes twihpscimI nf his new nurchaso he will hecrln exneniHnrr several thousand dollars in alterations and the erection of new buildings. The houses now occupied by the Stein and tatner ianmies anil which will be retained dv mem, as tenants, will ne extensively altered. They will be furnished with nil modern improvements and made almost new. The vacant lots east of these hniiRes. which have bo frequently been the scenes of ruiuiv delightful carden narties. will soon vnnlsh from view. The mnsons nnd carpenters will soon remove the carpet of green and commence the erection ot three first-class dwellings, each eighteen feet wide, sixtv feet ileen nnil tlirp stories nign, nnu suppneu witn an modern conveniences. me street upon which thlspronertv Is located is a mostdeslrnhln one for family residences' nnd when the Improvements are comnletecl Mr. Tltmnn will doubtless find this investment a vaiuauie one.

Forinslnn. properties on Plum alley, immediately south nnd north of the western end of the Oak street bridge, will become excellent sites for good dwellings, and the few stables now there will he transferred to some more secluded part of the town. The part of Plum nlley referred to will be entirely changed as soon as the bridge is cuinpieieu. iieretoiore it lias ueen a dark, neglected quarter, seldom visited by any other than the residents, but when the bridge is finished and people find that they cuu reach the First ward from Oak street direct, by means of the foot bridge, and when the electric oars ruu through the place its character will be changed entirely, and, with the good uature of the Borough Council, an electric light will make the place almost ns desirable as the corner of White and Oak streets, There Is another part of the town which needs tbe new life which only an electric railway can give, and that is Centre street, west of Jardin. There are a num ber of Idle houses in that quarter, more on account of the distance from the live quarter of tho town than for any other reason. People from out of town never travel that streot, unless It is to make vlsltB. There Is nothing to draw people there. Tho electric rallwav would draw them nnd something should be done to get either the Traction or Lakeside com pany to extend its road through that quarter.
