How II IL Affecting the Horse Market
In tho city Of PIItsbnrEh.


PlrrsRpRoH, February 27.-"Do you
know" said a prominent speculator in
horseaesh to reporter this morning, "that
this tariff business is having its effect on
the horse market at the Stock.yardsP"
What horses had to do with the tariff was
not exactly clear. to the reporter, and he
asked TO be enlightened on the subject Of
such general interest and Importance. az
will explain" continued the horsemsn.
"In the first place there is very little :eam.
ing being done among the mills and manu-
featuring establishments on account OF
dullness In trade, which is supposed to be
caused by the uncertain feeling which pre-
walls in regard to this bill. When busi.
ness Is booming in Pittsburgh, and the
mills are all overrun with orders, then Is
the time that the teamsters, or those who
do heavy hauling, are the busiest. They
can afford to run four or FIVE teams, and
then have all they can do, but when there
is but little doing they can't afford to keep
aliyery stable and pay for feed without any
thing coming in. Bear in mind reier to
the heavier class OF draft horses. Since the
depression in the manufacturing business
there has been no. demand for this class Of
horses, and the consequence is parties are
buying up all the horses they can at a rea-
sonable price and shipping them West,
where the demand is said TO exceed the
supply. There are very few horses coming
to this market any more, and when car
load arrives at the stock yards there are
generally several dealers from the horse
market on hand to take the lot know
OF two speculators who come to the East
End yesterday and bought up two carloads
Of horses and shipped them West"

LATRoBr, Pa, February 27.-It is an
nounced here this morning that A. o.
Tintsman has Just closed bargain with
William Thaw, Esq, Of Pittsburgh, for the
sale to the latter Of about one thousand
acres Of land desirably located on the Con-
nellsville coke beltlying down the country
from Latrobe. This land consists Of the
coal underlying about dozen farms, from
the owners Of which Mr.. Tintsman secured
options about two years ago. Our farmers
have been complaining Of his delay in
meeting his payments on account Of the
land and threatened to foreclose their
mortgages ifsomething definite was not done
soon. No doubt this has compelled him to
sell out TO the Pennsylvania Railroad party
who have been buying up coke lands for
some time past to head of the Vanderbilt
and Baltimore & Ohio parties. II isa well
known fact that no matter how fayorably
located railroad may be, It cannot secure
freight when the land Is owned BY hostile
interests. The price at which this land has
changed hands could not be learned def.
nitely, but It Is said to be about Sl0O an
acre, as Mr.. Tintsmon was partially forced
to sell on account Of the maturing pay

THE visitor to Philadelphia has been
struck with the handsome marble pile at
the intersection Of Broad and Market
streets, facing the new Pennsylvania Rail-

the people OF Philadelphia good deal
harder. To date the City Hall has cost

but there has long been q belief that a

A Meeting of The stockhoIders-EIer

A Meeting OF The stockhoIders-Eler-
tion OF New Board OF Directors.
There was meeting OF the stockholders
OF the Wheeling Grape Sugar and Refining
Company held yesterday at the works
which was TO say the least highly interest
ing. 1t partook largely Of the nature Of an
investigation meeting, resulting in the re-
moyal OF three membeSof the Board Of
Directors, the resignation OF the remaining
two aud the election OF new Board.
The financial difficulty that this con-
cern, that started out 80 auspiciously, found.
itself involved in about i've months since,
is already known 10 the public. When Il
was first made known, the general impres.
sion was that II was only temporary and
that the large works would soon be in OPP
Grafton again, but after the election Of
Board OF Directors at the annual meeting
In January, the affairs as reported began
to look worse, and three OF the Directors, a
msiority, adopted q resolution consenting
to the sale Of the property. A msjority OF
the stockholders became aroused by this
time and the matter was agitated exten.
sively in the courts in the way OF injunc.
tions, arguments, &c. The claims OF the
majority OF the stockholders are expressed
in the action taken yesterday. The meet.
ing was well attended and DR.. Hazlett pre-
sided.
The following preamble and resolutions
were adopted:
WHEREAS, AmaJority Of the directors Of
thecompany passed q resolution consenting
10 the sale OF the properly OF the Grape
Sugar and Refining Company, and
WnEREAs, Such action was not In the
interest Of the stockholders, but solely In
the interest Of few large creditors; there
fore belt
Resolryd, That such directors did not
properly represent the interests OF the
stockholders, and sstockholders we hereby
censure them for their failure 10 protect US
as It was their duty 10 do.
Resolved, That the new Board OF Directors
are hereby directed 10 repeal the resolution
or action giving consent TO the sale Of the
property Of this company, and that they
be requested to. lay before the Judge having
jurisdiction in the case the fact Of such
repeal and any other matter pertaining to
the interests oil the stockholders, provided
they may consider 1t OF advantage to do 80.
Messrs. F. P. Jepson, q. E. Dwight and
George Carl, members Of the Board, were
then by a large majority vote removed
from their office, and Messrs. William

NEw YoRK, February 27.-The funeral
OF Mrs. Burnell, the dwarf. who died at
her residence, No. 1l5 Crosby street, on
Saturday afternoon, took place this morn
ing from the above address. There were
but three mourners present-the dead
woman's husband, her son, child OF two
years, and her mother, an old lady, who
sat at the head OF her coffin, weeping bit
terly. The remains were removed to the
Grand Central Depot, whence they were
taken on the eleven o'clock train to Rich.

G. David, better known as Daniel Leon,
the dwarf, who died at Bellevue Hospital
on Sunday, the 18th inst, OF consumption.

years ago. He was removed from his
former lodging house at No. 2 Pell street
last week BY Charles Whitman TO Bellevue
Hospital. The little man was the son Of a
circus manager, who died and left him
small fortune. He went to Alabama and
there spent considerable money in gamb.
ling. He was taken down with fever and
ague, and liquor was administered in'great
quantities as medicine. He thus acquired
an appetite for strong drink. He returned
TO this city few years since without money
or friends. He then commenced TO sell
and books, from which he OBJ.
tanned fair living up to the time when
the fatal sickness overlook him. Although
the dwarf was well known in this city he
never gave any information about his
family. til said he has friends in Wis.
consin who are well of. and dispatches
were sent to them notifying them Of his
death, but no reply has as yet been re-
ceived. The United Charity Association
have taken an interest in the matter, and
the dwarf will be buried tomorrow unless
the body is claimed by friends. The corpse
has been enbalmed.

CLEVELAND, February 27.-Awell known
character on the West Side, John A.
Glueck, committed suicide yesterday
morning and died in horrible commissions
at his place Of residence on Barber avenue,
next door to the Ninth precinct station.
Glueck had been in bis better days an ex-
ceedingly smart man, and an especially
good musician. When several years ago
the German citizens Of Brooklyn dubbed
together to support a private school, he was
the first teacher, and he has taught mum:
ber OF schools since then, but has been
discharged, almost invariably, his amor
ous propensities getting him into
trouble. It Is said that he could play
with ease on almost any band in
strument, and was an excellent instructor,
but OF late years he has gone to the bad.
This Is not the first time he has tried TO
shuttle off the mortal coil, but for obvious
reasons It will undoubtedly be his last, He
has been drinking very hard Of late years
and became so abusive and cruel 70 his
wife and children that the former refused
10 live with him any longer. They have
been separated now some three years. His
family are very estimable people and are
universally liked and well spoken Of, and
this is peculiarly hard blow 10 them.
