A BOOM IN REAL ESTATE.

Residents in the Capital Surprised by a Rapid
Advance in Prices.
Special to the Indianapolis Journal.
WASHINGTON. May 3l.-One thing that sur
prises the average citizen of Washington is tbs
manner in which real estate has advanced dur
ing the past six months. It was expected that
change Of administration would lead to de-
preston in the real estate market. This was
expected because the clerks and officials who
held their Offices under a Republican admins
tration were in many instances owners.
of small parcels of real estate.
Naturally, it was supposed that
when the Republican dynasty came to an end
these places would be thrown upon the
market and would thereby depress it greatly
Such has not been the case however. Last fall.
as soon as it was known that Cleveland was
elected, New York bankers and capitalists sent
nies several millions of dollars to be used in pur
chasing any real estate which might be offered
at q sacrifice, but no such offers were made
A great deal of this money has since
been put into unimproved realty and building
operations are going on here this spring to
greater extent than before In great many
years. Rents have advanced, and the Democrats
who now come in and attempt to move their
families here will find that with the cost of re-
inoval and the payment of the first quarters
rent they will have very little of their salaries
left. This is not a very pleasing prospect.

order to reach them Strange was obliged to cross
q marshy valley While advancing, the Indians
commenced firing, and the troops were extended
in skirmishing order for three and a-half hours,
a steady firing being kept up. Strange's loss is
very small, only three being wounded. Tie
troops retired in good order to Fort Pitt.

scow, and joined the main body on the inland
march. Thirteen men were left behind to guard
the provisions on board. Rossiter also states

PARIS, May 30.-A peculiar trial has just
commenced at Douay, in the north of France.
1t is that of the duelist, De Keinel. He is ar
raigned under the singular accusation of having
during duel which was fought with rapiers,

it can be proved beyond doubt that
he was guilty of this cowardly conduct The
surgeon who was called to the witness stand
testified that De Kennels left hand was badly
cut where he grasped Chapus's sword Numer
Gus fencing experts are giving their opinion of

LONDON, May 31.-The most encouraging feat
ure of the agricultural outlook is the favorable
change in the weather, which has come at
most opportune time, when warmth and sun
shine will produce the best results especially as
it has been preceded by copious rains. The
backward condition of the crops and the dis
coloration of the wheat has been a source of
complaint, but it is now admitted that no last
ing injury has been done, and if the present fine
weather continues q rapid improvement in har-
vest prospects is expected.

The Poets Burial-Place.

The famous Pantheon of Paris, in which VIC
tor Hugo's body is 20 be sepulchered. stands very
near the site of an oil church built by Clovis,
near his palace, and dedicated by him to the
Apostles Peter and Paul. st. Genevieve, in 512,
was buried in this church, which was then dedi-
Gated and she became the patron saint of Paris.
The church fell into ruins, and Louis XIV began
the construction of the present superb structure,
from designs by Loufflot, to take its place. The
first stone was laid by the King in 1854 1t was
not finished before the great revolution came
and was then transferred by the Directory into
Pantheon, and dedicated to national heroes
The building was restored to religious uses after
the return of the Bourbons, but it
shows the intention of the revolution
airy authorities in every detail. Over the
superb portico of sixty-six Corinthian pillars, to
which fight of eleven steps ascend, there is
massive triangular pedment l29 feet in breadth
and % in height, on which in bas relief there is
splendid composition by David of Anglers, the
sculptor, representing France dispensing honors
to the great men who have illustrated French
history. To the right hand may be seen Fenelon
Malesherbes, Mlrabeau, Voltaire, Rosseau, La
fayette, Carmel, Monge, Manuel and David, the
Napoleon in front, representing the republican
and imperial armies. History and Liberty, sit
ting at the feet of France, are busy inscribing
the names of her great ones. Under the portico
are bas reliefs representing Genius, Science
Art. Legislation and Patriotism.
The entrances are guarded by bronze valves of
fine workmanship. The building interiorly is a
Greek cross, from the center of which springs
fine circular dome surrounded by q peristyle of
thirty two plain Corinthian columns. From the
entablature rises a majestic dome, terminating in
a lantern with gallery and balustrade. There is
curious architectural novelty consisting of
three stone cupolas one within the other and
each of independent construction. The extent
and grandeur of the building may be conceived
when it is recalled that the length is 302 feet by
255 in transverse; the breadth of each limb of
the cross IS lO5 feet the total height from floor
to lantern is 268 feet, and there ATS steps to
