The principal event in real estate circles
| yesterday was the Saleof the Shane q Clark
property, located on Penn avenue, corner of
Garrison alley, the lot being 49111O feet to
Exchange alley, to NJ. Seibert & Co., the
furniture men, for $65, 5000, or 1880 foot
front The same property was bought bV
H. C. Frick year or more ago for $4,000.
1t will be remembered that NJ. Seibert &
Co., a few days ago, sold the property re-
Gently purchased by them, corner Eighth
and Penn, to Messrs. Arbuthnot, Stephenson &
| Co. By the new deal the former firm have re-
| located themselves in the same vicinity, and
will, it is stated, improve their purchase.
1t was stated in THE DISPATCH last week
that Mr.. Walter Hay, of Allegheny City, had
purchased two considerable bodies of land in
the Heron Hill district. Particulars of this
deal were obtained yesterday. The property
consists of about six acres, fronting on Heron
avenue, Thirteenth ward, just above the Center
avenue cable line power house, and formed
part of the estate left by Controller Henry
Lambert. There are good dwelling, drivers
house and stable on the ground. The price
paid was $40, The land, as originally stated,
will be subdivided and put on the market.
Other details were sought of Messrs. w. 81.
Heron & Sons. which firm, 1t was learned, was
interested in the deal, but they were reticent.
The mystery investing the purchasers of the
Schmertz and Beymer properties in the East
End seems to have been solved at last. They
are now said on good authority to be Mr.. Guck-
enheimer and Mr.. Wertheimer, the well-known
distillers.
In reference to the meeting of the Carnegie
Library Committee of Councils, on Tuesday,
at which Mr.. Carnegie was present, to consider
the selection of a site and other matters con-
nected with the library, prominent manufact-
urer said yesterday: Il have no ak to grind,
but hope a central location will be selected for
the building SO as to afford all the citizens an
equal opportunity to enjoy the advantages of
the institution. and also to make it available
to strangers visiting the city, who have
neither time nor disposition to make
long trips for that purpose. The location
should be such as to display the magnificent
structure which It is proposed to build to the
best advantage, so as totreflect credit upon the
generous donor, Andrew Carnegie as well as
the community in general
"a central location would attract thousands
