A BOOM FOR BRICK.
Pittsburg to Become the Head Center
for This Great Industry.
ABIG DEAL In LOCAL REAL ESTATE
Petroleum and Electric the Features of the
Speculative Markets.
STATUS OF THE BARBED WIRE PATENTS

Pittsburg is to be the great brick-making
center of the country, in the opinion of sew
eral gentlemen connected with that busi-
ness. One Of them said yesterday: "Brick
is rapidly coming to the front as the princl-
pal building material. Lumber will soon
be too scarce and dear to be used exten-
sively for that purpose. With the aid of
natural gas brick can be made here better.
cheaper and quicker than at any other place
in the Union. We have inexhaustible stores
of the best quality Of clay for the purpose,
and all the experience and skill needful to
turn out a superior article. Since we COM
menced to use natural gas in our kilns our
business has grown very rapidly. We supply
markets now that were unknown to us before.
We expect to make as great a reputation for
Pittsburg brick as has been made for PittsDurg
iron and glass;"
The biggest real estate deal for some time was
consummated yesterday by w. A. Heron &
Sons, consisting of a block of ground on Forbes
street, Twenty-second ward, containing II
acres, the price being $4,000. The purchaser
will use it for residence purposes. This proper
ty was sold just three years ago for s12, 500 The
purchaser rued his bargain and asked the own
er to relieve him, which he did, as he was sat-
isfied the ground was worth more than he had
asked for it. By holding on to it until now he
has just doubled his money. This is another
straw showing that values of real estate are
steadily moving upward.
Concerning the reported discovery in st.
Louis that the control of the barbed-wire pat
ents is not vested in any American firm or cor
poration, because the device of barbed wire
was patented in France, to Louis Janin, on
April 49, 1866, Messrs. Washburn and Moen say
in private letter: Assuming the facts to be
as stated, it is not necessary for us to consider
what bearing this might have upon the Kelly
patent, because, that patent is now expired.
Our only interest is in the bearing 1t has upon
the Glidden patent No. 57.l24, and we do not
think it would affect that in any way. Glidden
does not claim to have invented spurs or
prongs; indeed, he distinctly disclaims that in
his patent No. 150,6 What he does claim in
No. Isl, ,124 is twisted fence wire with spur
wire bent at its middle portion about it and
clamped in position by the other wire strand
and the French patent in question is no an
tlcipation of the Glidden invention"

Court House Privileges-The Commits

A considerable source of bother tc the
County Commissioners for some time past
has been the number of applications from
enterprising citizens for permission to start

with requests for the privilege of selling news

persuasive argument holding that it would be
great boon to the judges, lawyers, clerks,
jurymen, ETC., who could save time at noon
by having but few steps to 60 to get their
dinner
The request was refused, the Commissioners
Stating that they were not entering into COM
petition with property-holders on the streets in

The latest applicant is barber, who has
asked to be allowed to start barber shop on

promises to make it the finest shop in the

Oil made another jump toward the dollar

lowered around that price for some time and

gradually sold up to 931Sc. which was the high

THREE COUNTERFEITERS ARRESTED.
A Mysterious Letter Leads to the Capture
Of Dangerous Gang.

ESPECIAL TELEGRAM TO THE DIspArcH,1
INDIANAPOLIS, February 26.-The dis
covery of a suspicious letter secreted among
some household goods sold to secondhand
furniture store led to the detection and cap
ture to-day Of three counterfeiters, one of
whom is woman. According to her story
her name is Ida NJ. Forna, and her parents
reside in Syracuse, N. Y. Four years ago
she became acquainted with Samuel J.
Stewart, railroad clerk of Albany. They
came West, and were Influenced by William
Bachelor, OF Cincinnati, to engage in the
counterfeiting business.
They have been operating in house in
the suburbs of indianapolis and have man
ufactured large Quantity Of spurious coin,
much of which has been good enough to
pass without detection. The two men were
arrested by federal officers at Shelbyville
to-day.

Metallic Magnesium Cheup in GERMANY.

A Berlin correspondent of an English paper
says that German company has recently
erected works where pure metallic magnesium
can now be produced at the comparatively low
price of Is francs per kilo in the raw state, and
at SO to IS francs per kilo for wire bars or pow
der. According to experiments made by MIR
Martens, a German engineer, this metal can
millimeter, and, when in a compact mass, it can
be heated TO a high temperature without its
igniting. Magnesium can be wrought in vari-
Gus ways when heated, but the surface becomes
easily oxidiZed.

LIGHT is BREAKING.
Causes of Dizziness in the Money Market
Signs of Improvement,

There was no special stir in the local money
market yesterday. There was the usual
amount of checking and depositing to meet the
actual requirements of business. Very little
paper was offered for discount. "While busi-
ness at the banks is very dull" remarked
Fourth avenue cashier, sit is no worse than
usual at this season of the year, and no worse
than we expected. Several causes combine to
bring about this condition. The Inauguration
diverts the attention of thousands of people
from business. Railroad building is at stand
still. The iron market is fat The frequent
failure of the natural gas supply is a great
drawback to many local industries. One mill
on the Southside ran only two turns last week
notwithstanding it had urgent orders to fill.
The prospecr. however, is frightening up. and
we anticipate radical Improvement within
the next two or three weeks" The exchanges

HIRED A MAN TO MURDER.
Arrest of q PrivRte Detective at Chicago
on Serious Charge.

CHICAGO, Ill. Dec. 21.-John Tolbott, a
member of Doer q Co.'s detective agency,
is locked up in the Englewood police sta
ton charged with impeTsonating an officer
and carrying concealed weapons. The
police say there is something more serious
behind the charge. Mrs. c. II. Bayley,
Tolbott's mother-in-law. lives with her
daughter at SiXtieth Street and Stewart
Avenue. Tolbott and his wife for some
time have not been living together. The
police say that EnoS Bond. pri-
vate detective, reported to them that
Dick Lindsay, a colOred man who lives
near Telbott, lad come to him and said he
had been approached by Tolbott and of
fered 500 if he would take the life of Mrs.
Bayley. Capt. Danforth sent for Lindsay,
who, it Is alleged, said Iolbott had told him
to go to the Bayley house for the oStenSi-
bic purpose of purchasing stove which
was in the second story. When Mrs.
Bayley should show him the place
he was to seize her, cut her throat,
and steal two watches that were in a side
room. He was also to be supplied with
