From Wall Street To-Day.

NEW YORK, Feb. &c. IL a.m.-The business in
the stock market this morning was very re-
stricted, only Reading, Cotton Oil, and St. Paul
showing any activity. The London prices came
generally lower, but first prices here did not
follow the lead, being in most cases from Il to
4 per cent higher than last evenings figures.
but the market developed declining tendency,
which was most marked in Cotton Oil which
retired Is per cent from its opening figure
The losses III the regular list, however, were in
no case for more than Is per cent, except in Ore
gon improvement. which continued its rapid
decline of the past few days and dropped per
cent. The downward tendency was checked by
the end of the first half hour, and full recov-
cry, except in the specially weak stocks, was
made, Denver, Texas and Fort Worth and St
Paul preferred showing some strength. The
market showed no other feature and at IL
o'clock was dull and steady at about opening
prices.

ATTACKED WITH EPILEPSY.
Beverly F. Cole Seriously Injured by a
Fall in the Interior Department Building

Beverly F. Cole, the chief of the mineral
division in the general land office, was attacked
with epilepsy while going down an iron
stair case in the north wing of the
Interior department building to-day. He fell
from the top, striking on his head, about mid
way in the staircase. He was at once taken to
a room, and DR.. J. p. Littlewood was at first
summoned, and then DR.. J. Ford Thomp-
son. 1t was found, upon examina-
ton, that he had received severe
fracture of the skull. DR.. Thompson expressed
the opinion that the injury was not fatal, al
though very serious. The wife of the injured
man was informed and reached the department
before he was removed to his home.

ARE YOUR TITLES GOOD?
Over Twenty Squares of Private Prop
erty Claimed for the Government.

The Secretary OF War to-day transmitted to
the Senate copy of a letter of the 10Th
instant from Col. John NJ. Wilson, the officer in
charge of public buildings and grounds, to-
gether with copy of the report of the
draughtsman of his Office, in regard to certain
building lots in this city which are shown by
the old records to belong to the United States
The'Secretary commends the consideration of
this important matter to the early con-
sderatlon of Congress. Col Wilson in
his letter states that among the duties
appertaining to his Office is that of the care of
the old records of the city of Washington which
show the action of the original commissioners
under whose direction the city was laid out and
the sales of the United States lots since October
II, 1871. These records, Col Wilson saws have
been the subject of much labor on the part of
Mr.. John Stewart, the office draughtsman i'm
order that the papers might be 80 arranged that
they could be easy of access to those who de-
sired to examine them.
THE QUESTIONABLE LAND.
"Such examinations as my duties would adj
NIT" says Col Wilson, have led me to the con-
clusion that there was a large amount of land
within the city limits held by private parties
which legally belonged to the general govern
ment and for which no deeds of transfer of
title have ever been executed by the United
States. Mr.. Stewart has spent much
time and study in this matter. and his report.
a copy Of which is submitted herewith, shows
that he believes there are twenty entire squares
and 2,00l other lots within the city limits now
claimed by other parties, to which as far as
can be shown by our records. the United
States still has legal title.
hesitate to cloud the title to property of anv
man who may hold it under the impression
that his title is perfectly clear; and shall.
therefore, not officially indicate, until the
matter is more critically examined, the squares
and lots which, from the incomplete records
on file of former commissioners Of public build
ings. it would appear that the United States
still holds clear title"
Col. Wilson closes his letter with request
for an appropriation for clerk to take up and
push to a conclusion this important work.
The report of Mr.. Stewart, accompanying
the two letters indicates that the twenty
squares referred to are in the northeastern
portion of the city, on the Eastern Branch.
