Real Estate Depfcssion in chicago.

Real Estate Depression in Chicugos
A Chicago exchange expresses tho following
opinions
1t is apparent that there must lie u revival of
trade and industry before tlIere Will be any con-
siderable class of purchasers for real estate OK
cept the rich, viz those who are not i'll debt,
and who have more money thau they can lend
at or per cent. Any attempts to foreo real
estate oil by auction sales of cheap lots IN snch
times aa the present will fail. Even il tho claS :
who would be expected 10 buy such lots for
their own occupation have little money stYed
up somewhere, 1T is known that they are more
tmid about investing it than the capitalist is
about the much larger sum corresponding to
Lis resources.
Many persons think it strange that while tho
most valuable business property in the cify and
some Of the highest priced residence property,
can be sold readily by some reduction IN the
price, the same cannot bo 0onewith the cheaper
property in small lota iiut tho explanation IL
that the expected purchasers are of different
classes, the rich and the poor, and tho rich have
grown richer and the poor poorer.
The prospect of a change in this condition of
things, and the return of times when real estate
will sell in small, cheap lots, depends largely on
tho revival of trade this fall. There seems now
no doubt that here in the Northwest we shall
have abundant crops of everything, and
tlis will mako " revival of trad
in Chicago even if it does 30
nowhere else; but it industry continues do
pressed throughout the Eastern States, and the
average rate of wages continues low, even the
revival of commerce hero in Chicago will not re-
yive the demand for cheap property for work
mems homes 30 soon as the necessity to invest
capital in larger suns will increase tho demand
for IL more expensive class OF property IL IL
true, however, that the same urgency for the in
yestment of capital may induce purchases of
cheap property In large blocks or tracts to be
held for speculation, but the sale of cheap sin
gle lots will be the last branch OF the real estate
business to revive.

SHE sAcRTFICEs HER LIFE IN AN FfFoRT To SAVE A
CfILD-BoIH BURNED TO DEATH.
On Monday, of last week, the dwelling of Mrs.
Wilmington, rect of the late Isaac T. Whiting
ton, ut Marion Eastern Shore H. r.. was burned.
During the night colored girl, lG years of age,
who was sleeping below stairs WAS awakened by
tho fumes of smoke, and rushing up stairs
awakened Mrs. W., who hurried down, leaving a
little grandson in bed to ascertain the cause of
tho smoke.
Upon opening the bacl, door she found that
the -mQkeliou was covered with flames and
that tho heat therefrom had set fire TO the side
OF tho dwelling. Seeing the dangerous condi-
ton of the dwelling Mrs. W. immediately sent
tho black girl up stairs for tho little boy, but
unfortunately tho door being open, tho smoke
bad filed tho house from top to bottom, and
though the coiored girl foundsthe child, she could
not find her way down stairs again, but wan
dered with him in her arms to a room whose
window she tried to open end then jump ont
but alas it was securely fastened, and though she
could be seen from the outside holding the dear
little boy i'll ono arm and beating tho Wfdow
out with the other, there was no way TO rescue
them, and besides by this time tho crimson
flames wore overlapping the building from tile
ground to the roof, and when amid the crash of
sinking doors and falling walls tho girl
fell into the burning mass below, eho fell, hold.
ing in her arms the little child for whom and
witll whom sle lost her life. When the ruins
were cleared away tho two children were found
ia each others embrace, but charred and crisp.
The building was utterly consumed aad with
il considerable personal property, together with
the smoke house and ouI-hOuses. 1t is contl-
IDENTIFY believed that the catastrophe is tho woliI
