serious.
Tho healthy condition of the city real estate
market is shown by the statistical record OF the
6rst fonr months of this year, as compared
with the corresponding period i'll 1888. Inc
total of the cOnycyances maze 'h's !o"'
amounted to about SIS, 100000 more, anu .ne
mortgages recorded amounted to nearly MILL
ion dollars less, than in the same time last year.
Other comparisons are not less SATISFACTORY.
There is more building going on at the present
time than in 1888 and the record o1 ianiiies
moving during April showed more coming ii'o
the city than going out. The. oht 'h'"s
real estate owners have to trouble them tins year
is the increase in the tax rate, due to an hem-
cient city government.
The complications of the English Govern
ment on the Egyptian question are growing
more serious. The proposal for conference Vi
the Powers to authorize fresh Egyptian loan
does not meet with the unqualified approval Vi
France. Hence it appears probable that Eng
land will have to abandon the conference. 10
add to the troubles of the Ministry, palnlul
impression has been created IN England by the
disclosure of the fact that the advice OF OF
EVELYN Barring, as well as that of the military
authorities has been dsregarded. Heretofore
it was supposed that the strange course OF the
Ministry, in refusing to send aid to General
Gordon in answer to his urgent request was
due to Sir Evelyn Earrings opposition. Now that
il is shown that the Government has refused 10
heed the counsel of all those persons having
special knowledge of the situation, 1t Is no
wonder that the indignation OF the country
grows deeper.
The Excise Commissioners report that they
are doing a rushing business at the present
time; and, of course. they are unusually care
full to SEQ that disreputable places are not
licensed Probably they do not give out this
news TO influence the Board of Estimate. before
which they are now seeking an increased APP
preparation for inspectors. This Is their busy
time of the year, according to their own report.
But according to the records OF their depart
ment they employ more inspectors i'll the
autumn months. when there is election work to
be done, than in any other season of the year.
The two things do not speak well fol. the Excise
Board. However, the city has seen much
worse set of Commissioners than those now III
Office If the Legislature would pass the High
License bill, as it should do, the rush at the
Excise Office would not be so great; and If the
Police Department then did its duty the city
would be greatly benefited.

According to the agent for one of the ocean steam
ship lines, the spirit of speculation has now got
into the negotiation of tickets for passage to
Europe on the fast steamers. Shrewd people Sc
cure passages by these vessels and then dispose OF
them for premiums in some cases large enough TO
pay their passage slower boats. This Is the the
atre ticket business over again, but with change
of circumstances but as most people who go to
Europe By the fast steamers can afford to pay the
premium, there is not likely to be any widespread
complaint. The agents say that they do not under
any circumstances charge premium themselves.

was at a few cities, $4,000 900 at Philadeiphia or
il g per cent and $4,30O000 at Plttsburg, or $50
per cent, being the larger amounts The proper

Columbus carried down 100 persons on January

Some little time ago. Rev. Mr..

letter telling him of this design and asking
him to have the West Virginia patch gotten
up. The writer is not at liberty to tell the
nsn:es of the ladies who made the patch,
but it was beautifully done and if the
other States are as handsomely gotten up
that quilt will be beauty. Silk satin and
velvet make up the small SCARE, which is
profuse with embroidery. In the centre
on a piece Of satin is painted the coat.of
arms Of the State. One corner contains the
name of st. Matthew's Church in EN-.

The patch was sent by mail day or two

1t is tough to suspect seller OF Bibles to
be a passer of counterfeit money, yet such
Is the melancholy case. Mr.. J. NJ. Kelley
has been here for some time, selling Bibles
from the publishing house of the Gsrrisons,
at Philadelphia. Yesterday he got on q
street car and gave the driver dollar. A
little time sfterward he was arrested, at
the instance Of the company, and taken
before Justice Schultzs, charged with pass
ing counterfeit money. The dollar shown
as the one he gave in was ter
ribly counterfeit Kelly was dis
charged by the Justice and was
tax en- before Commissioner Forbes, on the
same charge, and the case was continued
until Monday, the Commissions requiring
no bond from Mr.. Kelley. This gentle
man Is very near sighted, and II he really
gave that dollar to the driver, it Was one he
took In and gave out without knowing it.
He is very indignant at the charge, aud
from all the circumstances in the csse, his
indignation Is righteous. The charge 10 q
serious one, and should not be made but
