to our City in quest of means wherewith 20

In 1896 the value of real estate on Manhattan
Island was $64,sO4,OjO; to-day it is about
Silj0OO,OOO. Forty years ago the annual real
estate sales in this city amounted to hundreds
of thousands of dollars; now it is hundreds of
millions. If any argument is necessary TO
prove the almost headlong manner in which
capitalists and small operators have traded in
houses and lands this year, it may be found
in the summary of real estate business for
April. which we print in another column. The
recorded transfers in this city last month
amounted to S23,S53,1SS, and in Brooklyn to
$7GlO,Ol7; $j5,577,743 worth of real estate, or
about IL per cent of the total valuation in this
city. has changed hands since January in
Brooklyn the amount during the same time
has been sl7,Sjj,l45. These figures need no

Gov. FentOn has again interpOsed his veto
to protect the taxpayers of this city from an
enormous "jOb." He vetOes the bill to author
ize the Street Commissioner to widen West-st
from Battery-place to Hammond-st.. on the
ground that the work belongs to the Common
Council; that it cOnfers extraordinary powers
on the Street Commissioner giving him un-
restricted control over the expenditure of mil
lions of dollars aud that no provision is made
for the protection of the interests of property
owners affected. The audacity of this swind-
ling and pillaging bill is well set forth in the

The darkness and degradation in which

A dispatch was received in this city yester-
day. early in the afternoon, announcing that
the Tory Ministry had resigned, that Mr.
Gladstone had been sent for blythe Queen, and
that to him would be entrusted the formation
of new Ministry. This report is now Off
cially contradicted by the speech of Mr. Disraeli
in the House of Commons last night, who
stated that the Queen had asked him not to
tender his resignation, and not to dissolve
Parliament, but to retain office until the next
election, to be held according to the new cleo
toral law, would give to the people an oppOr-

THE LESSON OF THE DAY

The spectacle of the Chief Magistrate Of a
great nation on trial before it's Senate for al
legged violations of law and right is one which
Europe is pondering with interest and Eve
trusD with ultimate profit. Byron, in his
"Vision of Judgment represents old George
III. as put on trial at the great asSizes like
any other sinner-tO "see if kings may MT be
"be damned like me or you"-and the lesson
that the highest dignitary in the land is not
above the laws, but amenable to their jurisdic-
ton and their penalties, the same as the
humblest chopper or ditcher, is one that men
"drest in little brief authority" need to have
frequently and practically exemplified. There
should be dozen impeachments where there
is one; and there must be more than there
have been if we are ever to have a pure, im-
partial administration of Justice again.
Tom Moore, in his Fables for the Holy
alliance" exhibits the good effects of such
process in a pleasant narration that may be
new to some of our younger Ieaders-SO we
quote it. 1t is entitled

9 1 n e Ia Acc1dene-Ten FEouae,
,ssg Blown IDoxgn.zr. gre

From the Chicago Post, Aprilll. rs'
This morning at about half.past 9 40
alarm of fire was sounded from box %.
The Fire Department were quickly on the
spot, but instead of finding a fire they dis.
covered the ruins of q block Of ten stores
and dwellings, in process of erection,
which had been blown down, and from
which the alarm originated. The build
ing was situated on the west side Of Clark
street between Taylor and Twelfth streets,
and was being erected by Mr.. G. P. Nc
Kay, q carpenter and builder. The block
consisted Of ten stores, was three stories
high, with a basement underneath. It was
1873 feet in length and A feet deep, and
solid block. II was commenced about the
lst OF March. There were at the time of
tho fall between fifty and sixty carpenters,
masons, and fathers at work in, on, and
around the building, and Immediately the
rumor was started that q large number
had been killed. Men were at once set to
work to remove the debris, and it was
found that not a man was killed, although
several were badly injured.
The first intimation that was given of
the starting Of the building was a slight
trembling caused from the blowing of the
wind. In less than two minutes the entire
building was 3 complete wreck, the bro.
ken timbers and boards lay around in the
street in piles, and the crowd of people
that came from all quarters Immediately
went to work to find the dead and dying.
Mr.. Mckay, the owner, was surrounded
| by an anxious number who piled him with
questions as to the cause. He said that
the cellars were all completed and the
trst-story joiSts all up, and seven stories
carried up to the roof and the %roof-boards
laid on. The flooring was also laid, and
the six north buildings had the partitions
set all through. The two north houses
we're ali lathed, and the outside of the
seven north ones were completely boarded
around, while the other three were in pro-
cess of raising. The wind was from the
southwest, and struck the southwest cor
ner, where it was open, and the north end
being boarded up, there was no escape,
and, consequently, as there was a heavy
wind at the time, the fall of the entire row
was the result.
How the men inside escaped with their
lives is a miracle, and they are unable to
explain it themselves. One man was at
work on the roof at the southwest corner,
and when the building started, he ran to
the northwest end, and was thrown into
the middle of the street, but received no
injuries.
The loss to Mr.. Mckay will amount to
about $40, 900; there was 500, 900 worth of
lumber and material in the building, but a
great portion will be saved.
