Real Estate.

1he largest fortunes and the greatest
number of moderate fortunes have been
made in real estate, and it will be next
to impossible to find a capital lost in
that property where it has been bought
judiciously and paid for with the pur-
chaser's own money, 1t never breaks,
1t never runs away, although a man NAV
run away with it; it does not spoil by
keeping; IL cannot be stolen; it has no
bad habits. So good, so reliable is it in
itself that it forms the basis of taxation
everywhere, and it is too often the syn
onym of real value when the owner of il
may from unfortuitous circumstances be
quite the reverse. A vacant lot may
have cost $4,000, and to the CITY reDrex
sents SO much money, while to the pro-
prietor it is for the time being dead
stock, and what he pays is paid for the
honor OF being property holder. Still
II Is the one real thing which represents
a positive value. The lot NAV change
owners hundred times but it never
changes its location.
Starting from the premises two con-
illusions naturally follow, that, for, safe
ty there is no security equal to the real
property, and that it is a bad thing to
hold in hard times if it has been boueht
with borrowed money. A man sleeps.

Inc rule does not always hold good to

there is point when it is perfectly safe
10 DO so, and that point in real estate is
undoubtedly reached now. A still lower
level would involve the country in entire
bankruptcy. The indications. however
are all the other way. The political war
is over, the industries of the country are
gradually improving, the feeling of con

crops promise well, and the foreign de

Death From Hydropho-
bia.


TsRRlBLE. CASE IN THIS CITY, REsUL-
TING FATALLY THREE MONTHS AFTER
raE BITE.
On Christmas eve Michael Crossep
"a years old, bartender 10 the saloon
of his nephew, James Crosson, at tha
southwest corner of Eighteenth and
Naudain streets, Philadelphia went
into,the cellar fora glass of aleIfor Gus
toner. The cellar was dark, and Mr..
Crosson did not notice q terrier cur
lying on the ale barrel. In cropping
about in the darkness Mr.. Crosson put
bis hand on the dogs head, and before
he could withdraw his hand he was
bitten on the third finger of the left
hand. The dog was killed that night
and the wound was cauterized within
two hours. In few days the finger
healed and the affair was almost for
gotten. Last Saturday Mr.. Crosson
felt his hand growing cold, succeeded
by numbness and tingling pains. The
scar turned red and grew ssre, but the
redness would entirely disappear in an
hour or two. On Monday the pain
was felt in the shoulder, and on Tues
day Mr.. Crosson, thinking it to be a
case of acute rheumatism. sent for DR..
William Carroll of 617 South Sixteenth
street. DR.. Carroll came in the after
noon, and. knowing nothing about the
bite, ne thought the pains were rheu-
matte, and treated them accordingly.
At 8 o'clock in the evening the patient
had grown alarmingly worse, and
Or. Carroll was again called. He
found Crosson reekinP with perspira-
tion. His pulse was high and his
breathing heavy. His thirst was in
tense, but he was unable to swallow
either water OF medicine. When
water was offered him he made tire.
mendous effort to swallow it, causing
a spasmodic contraction of the muscles
in the neck. DR.. Carroll then learned
that Mr.. Crosson had been bitten by a
dog, and, fully comprehending the
case to be one Of hydrophobio, he told
the patients relatives that it would
result fatally. At midnight the disease
had made terrible progress, and DIR.
Forbes was called, and, after consult
ting with DR.. Carroll, nitrite OF amyl
was administered. The patient was
kept under the influence of anodynes
until Wednesday morning, whe7 Drs.
Ashurst and Winters were called,
Later in the day, while under the
influence Of m0rphia and amyl, Cros-
SON was able with great difficulty to
swallow water. The patient did not
sleep for several nights,and during the
intervals. when the pain was slight, he
spoke OF his approaching death and
waited patiently for its arrival. His
mind was clear until yesterday morn
ing at l.30, when in terrible spasm he
jumped out of bed. Four strong men,
who were in the room, were hardly
able to put the frantic man back in
bed. After passing nearly an hour in
a most terrible delirium, Crosson sank
back utterly exhausted and died. The
disease had not reached its height
when the patient died, there being no
trothing at the mouth; ION the contrary,
a hot, dry feeling in the throat.

FALL OF A BRIDGE.

MODELLED AFTER THE AsHTABULA
BRIDGE-FoUR PERSONS INJURED.
An accident of an exciting and un-
usual character occurred about II A.
N. yesterday by the falling of the
Canton-avenue bridge, spanning Jones'
falls, carrying with it q number Of
workmen, four of whom were badly
injured. The crash attracted q large
crowd of spectators, who watched
with some anxiety the removal of the
debris. apprehensive that some one
would be found buried beneath. The
bridge was being removed by Mr..
Buck, who had purchased the old
material. A workman in removing
the nuts from the vertical ties began
close to the western abutment instead
of at the middle, thus throwing one
end drown into the water. William
Nicholson, residing at No. "A South
Central avenue, had his face and right
arm badly cut; Jesse Dehara, SO
North Caroline street, suffered COM
pound facture of the right ankle; G.
b. Hayes, II William street, had his
ankle badly sprained and his head
cut; Edward Harris, ,colored, 81 Dover
street, had his right arm broken. They
were rescued with difficulty, and
seemed to be suffering greatly. They
were Immediately conveyed to their
Homes, where they received the neces-
sary medical attention.
A number of others ON the bridge went
down with the wreck, but escaped un-
hurt, while some others, warned of the
danger. stepped. from the structure lust
before it fell, The bridge has been in
position for more than half a century,
1t was of the old style Howe truss pattern
of the same construction as the structure
that has passed into history as the cause
of the Ashtabula horror. 1t has been con-
demned and closed to travel. and will be
replaced by new and handsome iron
bridge, to be erected by Wendell Boil
man. 1t was reported that man had
been caught beneath the debris, and was
drowned in the falls, which, however
was not credited. A force of workmen
began at once removing the wreck, but
no discovery was made to confirm the
rumor.

Young man, Go West.
From the New York Herald.


Among the unemployed in New
York there are thousands of unmarried
men, with no one but themselves to care
for, who might obtain employment, pro-
perty and additional self-respect by max
ing their way to the newer countries OF
the far West and becoming land owners
in the inexpensive manner devised
by Uncle Sam. A great deal OF nonsense
has been talked and printed on this sub
ject, but the truth remains that hundreds
OF thousands of ordinary men ignorant
OF agriculture, have found homes and
competence IN the West, and that chances
of others doing so are as good as ever
they were. The young unmarried man
is peculiarly fitted for this sort of enter
prise; no amount of laundering can
bring him to nakedness or starvation,
AID only the most objectionable care
Iessness can prevent him from having
the value of his homestead increase I'M
til he finds himself in comfortable cir
cumstances. No new country yields q
living to the man who does not work,
but neither does New York city to any
one but politicians and burglars. Half
of the successful farmers in the new
West started with nothing but rifle, axe
and frying pan, and many Of the de-
clare that they could not afford even
these; but the industry and spirit that
mske good laborers and able salesman
what they are enabled the pioneers to
achieve success. Even tramp across
the continent is not an unhesrd OF
thiLg Many an unemployed mechanic
has within year done as much walking
In search of work as would have trans
ported him to the good lands of tho
Northwest, Texas or California. At
the worst no labor and privation pecu-
liar to new countries can be as hard as
waiting, rusting and starving to death
in New York.

ENR1cHlNs THE MANURE.

We are, Is rule, working great des

2. We shall net need so many loads
per acre, thereby saving IN time Of

8. If we make richer manure, it is moi
probable tina. we shall make any less in
quantity, thereby increasing the richness
and fertility of the soil, and consequently
adding to our profits.
To make rich manure, it is very essen.
tial that grain, bran or other concentrat-
ed food, be used in connection with hay
and straw. And ] am we'll satisfied that
little grain fed daily through the win

our sheep, in the extra clip OF wool, and
in increased growth of lambs, and in the
extra quantity of milk and butter from
our diaries.

manure under shelter; in fact there is
little use in trying to fet d and make ma
nure unless this is done. / have q shed

manure, and there it will heat all through

not eeat enough to suit, they can be re-
moved for few days and the manure
piled up until the heat gets we'll started,
and if they do not root enough, or il the
manure should get too hot, scatter little
corn around and that will set them to
work.
All the dung and urine of the pigs are
saved (which is not often the case when
pigs are kept in pen by themselves)
making very rich pile OF manure fine
enough to mix easily with the soil, and
ready for use at any time when wanted.
