about the building of the viaduct. Peter +.
Bryce G. R. Root, Frank DELL and other prop
erty owners who are not satisfied with the dam
ages awarded by the City Commissioners were
present with their attorneys. They said
that all they desired was to have some

any additional damage for which judgments
might be given, and they would consent to have
the work of building the viaduct go on. The
members of the committee agreed that some
should be reached by which the
viaduct should be speedily built but there Was

WAITING FOR NATURAL GAS.
Real Estate Dealers Think There Would Be
a Boom if 1t Was in General Use.

Business in real estate still continues to be
unusually active. and dealers unite in saying
nothing could prevent . boom far more extens-
i've than that of last spring If gas could be
turned into the city. While there is considera-
BILE property on the market. great many own
ers are holding until gas is in use which they
still believe will have some effect on valuations
There is but little improved property desira-
bly, located that can be bought said dealer
yesterday. with gas at the city limits. owners
prefer to wait until they introduce gas into
their houses. and naturally add very much to
the valuation The result is the trade is con-
fined almost exclusively to uEimproved property
around the city limits !"
The inquiry from the East for manufa cturing
sites shows that the manufacturing facilities OF
Ind annapolis are appreciated as they never were
before. Gentlemen here who acting as
agents for manufacturers hunting location say
that not hing will prevent the coming of large
number of manufacturing establishments this
spring. unless il is failure to settle the natu-
ral-gas controversy. Manufacturers do not do
sire to lose any more time than necessary. and
hence they will not buy land hero and prepare
to go into business as long as they can get no
assurance that they can obtain natural gas
within specified time. Quite number of OPP
tions have been secured on manufacturing sites,
and the sales will be closed as soon a. the IA +
ural-gas controversy is settled.
There has been gradual increase in the busi-
ness each week this year. During the last week
sixty-three deeds were recorded. representing
property valued at 500, 1893 Last week the
valuation of the property that changed hands
was $2O6, 900. There were very few large trans
actions. The block the northwest corner of
Market and Illinois streets was sold by Julia Il.
Rice to Enrique e. Miller and others for $780,
600, and Charles E. Coffin purchased the prop
erty now occupied by. Taggarss bakery, on
West Georgia street for $4,000. Mr.. Coffin
had previously purchased the lot on which the
Alvord block, on Meridian street stood. and on
Friday he sold to Robert S. Mckee a portion of
that lot. and a portion of the one on which
qrt'a bake sta OOO A
building will be erected on the lot by Mckee g.

inactive, but they are closing great many con.

DESTROYED BY THE FLOOD.

Part of a Railway Bridge at Cincinnati
Swept Away-The Loss 100000.
CINCINNATI, Aug 2z-The false work
erected in order to build the superstruct-
ure Of the Chesapeake & Ohio railway
bridge over the Ohio between Cow
ington and Cincinnati was swept away
Sunday forenoon by a great raft of drift
wood that had accumulated at it's base The
trestle-work was of wood and was over
100 feet above low water in the river A
V-shaped protection Of coal barges had
been formed on the upper side of the
trestle to keep off the drift, but the drift
sucked under the boats and made an i'm
mense raft At 10 a. m. this great
raft propelled by thirty-two feet of water
in the river mo7ed and pushed the lofty
trestle-work off it's foundations, dropping
$50 feet of the iron bridge, distance of
100 feet, into the raging stream below No
person was injured. The trestle with the
great raft of driftwood and fat-boats went
down the river ten or twelve miles, where
some of it was stopped and anchored.
The iron work lies in the river
near the Kentucky pier Of the chan
mel span. The losers are the contractors,
the PhGnixoBridge Company. They esti-
mate their loss at nearly $780, 900. Two
weeks more OF low water would have
made them safe. They say that if they
choose to go to the extra expense of work
ing both night and day the accident will
not delay the completion of the bridge.
