IMPORTANT TRANSFER or REAL EsrATK.-
Mr.. y. T.. McKelden has purchased OF Col. y
:. Smoot what L. known the De Kraft prom
erty, next the May Building, on 9TH street, be-
tween and streets, for $4,000 This lot has
fifty feet front, and from its eligible position II
IL probable that Mr.. McKeIden in its purchase
bad an eye to its use as the site of the new
dent. The adjacent lot of twenty -four
feet front was sold by Colonel Smoo,
recently to Mr.. Beveridge for SD, 900, and as
Col. ,. bought the whole property some nine
teen months ago for 81 900, il will be seen that
he has made very good thing of il, while the
purchasers are doubtless very well satisfied with
their acquisitions, in fact we doubt if Mr.
McKeiden would to- day rein guish his purchase
for q considerable premium. This real estate
sale, together with other occurring daily In
different parts of the city, serve to show now
CITY under the new order of things and the msrcf
of Improvement entered upon by our Districi
government.
