The tracks of the railway company

there will he no obstruction TO travel on

Not so Many Changes ghis Year

Through the established custom yester-
day was moving day. The day OF al days

good hOusekeepor, AID on winch the male
portion Of the household much prefers to
take its dinner down town. 50 as to AVOID
the din and confusion Incident to the Oc
CaSion. There WIS not 50 much moving
going on yesterday, though. as is usual
On Oct. /. This IS due TO the iact that
great many people have already moved
and others will wait until after the lst.
so rs 10 avoid the rush that generally
happens on that day. This makes the l,t
not so general a moving day as 1t used
10 be.
The real estate agents all report a GOOD
demand for houses o. almost every class.
The medium size house, reuting from $25
to $40 per month, is the most nOpular and
renls more re Oily. One prominent real
estate man has nothing on his list except
very large or very small houses-all the
lutermo date ones being taken. All the
new houses That are gong up find good
tenants as soon as they are finished, and
! the majority OF them are engaged before
the wOlkmen leave them.
The tenement houses going up IN the
CITY are ali IIOklbE EOOu Investments,
and pay good dividend on the money
put IN them.
There is virtually no change in rents
The same size and style house is renting
for just about what it did last year. One
agent reports that he has had some
trOu bic IN renting his negro houses. from
The fact that some OF them we're impressed
with the idea that the recent earthquake
was prelude TO the DESTRUCTION OF the
earth, and they wouldn't long have any
use for house. This fear has about sub.
sided now and the agent thinks he Will
soon he able to dispose OF all his
houses. TIE earthquake is also re-.
sponslble Tor good many change
that otherwise would not have
been made. Quite a number OF peo-
pie imagine that their houses were worse
shaken than anybody else's, and think
they must have been damaged more or
less, in consequence OF which they decided
To hunt up new quarters. Some, too,
moved from brick TO wooden houses,
thinking they would be safer in case of
another shake.
"ln what part OF tho city are houses
most sought fOr?' was asked OF a well
known real estate man.
"Tnaps rather hard question to an
swcr," was the reply. "Most people want
il house convenient to their business.
There seems, though. TO be a growing ten
dency towards the southern portion of
the city, and this is getting more and
more so every year. Houses In the neigh

ROUGH WEATHER AT SEA.
The British Steamer Marion En-
counters IA Hurricane.


The British steamship Marion, Capt.
Jetfels, arrived here yesterday from Ca
diff in ballast. The Captain reports that
on Sept. % at noon, while in lat. 26 north,
long. $3.50 west, he encountered severe
hurricane from the south-soutbwest, &C
companied with rain. The barometer
fell 10 % at noon. About mid
nig1t the wind veered around TO
the eastward and blew terriicaliy,
the barometer falling to 28.04, and rising
again as rapidly as 1t tell. On the 26jh
another terrific yale set in, which WAS
also accompanied by heavy rain, the
wind mOderatlng towards midnight.
During these gales there was fearful
sea on, rolling mountains high, and at
times the cross seas were terrific. This
was probably the storm which was looked
for ABOUT that date, which had previously
developed in the Gulf, but which was lost
sight of and went OF shore. The snip be-
haved very we'll, and sustained no
damage.
