ings that Washington has known. Three
beautiful English basement stone-front dwell
ings are about to be commenced on Connect
cut avenue, above Il street, four or five new
houses will soon be under way along the
northern part of Sixteenth street, and already
the cellars have been excavated for a group
of twenty houses on the south side of Q
street, between Seventeenth and Eighteenth
streets. Among the important improvements
to be made down town might be mentioned
the handsome apartment-house which Mr.. B.
H. Warder is about to build on the northwest
corner of Eleventh and G streets, opposite
his recently completed structure occupied by
Barber & Ross. The old dwellings occupying
this site are now being torn down and will
give place Immediately to the new building.
Messrs. Dubois & Dubois, the patent attor-
neys and publishers of The Inventive Age,
will erect attractive headquarters for their
paper on the southwest corner of Eighth nd
H streets.
Suburban pr operty is sharing fair pro-
portion of the attention of buyers, and brokers
say that the coming spring season will see a
larger number of villas erected than for some
years past. The recent act of Congress pro-
hibiting the sale of liquor within one mile of
the Soldiers Home grounds is already show
ing results in the Improvement of real estate
along Seventh street extended. The negotia-
tions for the purchase of the Scheutzen Park
were consummated last week when the neces-
sary papers for the transfer were placed on
record. The syndicate purchasing the pro-
perty is composed of many of the most care
full buyers in Washington, and it is said they
will offer the property for sale as whole
rather than attempt to subdivide at present
The tract contains twelve acres of ground
and is improved by large building, which will
probably have to be torn down to make way
for streets in case a subdivision shall be de-
cided upon. The price paid for the property
by the syndicate is 100000, or about 20c per
foot. Should streets be taken out of the tract
the price would run up to Soc. per foot.

dull as usual at this period, we cannot COM

several houses in the course of construction in

constantly increasing in number as well as in
size. Last week we received one for a million
bricks, and filled it, too. Then there is the
Mortar Company, recently organized in this
city, in which 1 am interested We are re-
ceiving very encouraging and flattering assur-

in no city could the outlook appear more

A Rise in Oak.

The cost of furniture averages 10 per cent.
more than it did year ago, on account of the
scarcity of the finer woods which have become
favorites. Oak has advanced from 20 to 30
per cent. owing to its growing scarcity. In
these days great care is expended in securing
fine grained wood. This is especially the case
with oak Two kinds of oak, plain and quar-
ter-sawed, are now most demanded for furni-
ture and store furnishings. Quarter-sawed
oak, when finished naturally, has grain and
brown mottle of uncommon beauty. 1t i'm
proves with age, and is susceptible of any
finish. The grain is very hard to initiate, but
limitations are not growing in favor. The oak
supply comes from Tennessee and West Vir-
ginia and the Mississippi country.

LIVELY WALLER " JACKETS.
A Man Under Arrest Claims They Caused
His Companions Death.

Special to The Statesman.
TYLER, Tex, Sept. 23.-Yesterday
afternoon two negro men were gath
ering and hauling corn on DR.. Doug
las farm, about four miles southeast
of this city. One of them, negro
who belonged permanently ON the
place, and the other, sort of a tramp
whom DR.. Douglas had hired to work
a few days. Sometime in the afternoon
the tramp or strange negro went to
the house and reported to DR.. Doug
las that the team had gotten into a
yellowjacket's nest, ran away and
threw the driver out, kicked him
under the wagon and that the wagon
ran over him. DR.. Douglas went into
the field and found the negro dead.
He examined the wounds and
concluded that they had not
been made as the tramp
negro had stated, and sent to town for
officers. Justice of the Peace Smith
this morning held an inquest, which
resulted in the arrest of the strange
negro who was placed in Jail. An ex-
aiming trial may result in developing
the real facts. Everything discov-
cred SO far points to a foul murder.

THE ONLY ONE OF ITS KIND.
Tie New Town Site of Chandler Enjoys a
Peculiar Distinction.

CHANDLER, O. T., VIA GUTHRIE,
sept. M.-No other town in the world
IS ike Chandler today, for which all
other towns may truly be glad. The
government site for the town OF Chan
der is still inhabited only by few
soldiers and surveyors, but the other
half of a quarter section just east OF
Chandler has been mapped out into a
town site, the population of which
changes every minute. The location
of Chandler is on high bluff. The
land which the surveyors have been
irving to survey into streets and
alloys is rougher than the hlgh
seas in a storm. Great rocks
as large as a small house are scattered
about all over the town site, and deep
gulIies cut it into pieces. With miles
0fleyel land all around it is difficult to
inderstand why such rough piece OF
land was selected for the town. The
rival town on the adjoining half OF the
quarter section is on level ground. On
Thursday men rushed into 1t and
drnve their stakes as anxious to Sc
cure a so foot piece Of the ground as
though it was worth $1,000, but
When they got it they were
moi delighted. After sleeping
out all night Tuesday, tortured with
hunger, thirst and the most rayenous
species of mosquitoes, hundreds rea,
lied that they had had enough ana
began to leave. One man yesterday
offered two lots in Chandler annex 1of
ham sandwich without hndmg a
purchaser. The town is overrun NV w dIIa
gamblers of every description. There
has been no trouble in keeping the
people off the site. All day yesterday
the people kept coming and at noon
there We're probably 1000 people here.
The country in this vicinity is very
moor and of no account for agriculture
Much of the Sac and Fox country is
GOOD farming land.

BREAK IN THE STOCK MARKET.
Various Rumors as to the Missouri Pacific
Cause the Trouble.

New YORK, Sept. 24.-Yesterday
afternoon and early this morning
rumors were freely circulated that the
Missouri Pacific had suspended pay
ments. At first nothing definite in
regard to the rumors could be OBJ
tanned. The directors of the COM
pany generally denied that any
such action had been taken.
from official sources it was learned
last night that the controlling direct
ors had discussed the matter and that
statement was made that the money
had already been borrowed by the
company for other purposes, and it
then was decided to take no action on
the dividend. In accordance with
this decision no directors meeting
was called today as was expected,
and none will be called, the considera-
ton of the matter being indefinitely
postponed until the next quarterly
meeting. The announcement in regard
to the Missouri Pacific dividend today
caused general surprise, and for a
short time CONSERVATION, while the
immediate effect upon the Missouri
Pacific and the rest Of Gould
stocks was to decidedly democrat
ize them, the whole market
felt the depressing effect. 1t was sur
prising how stubborn the resistance
to bad break was, and showed how
quickly many shocks recovered, when
given chance to show the strength
of the present upward movement in
prices. The opening was irregular
and excited, and the weakness in
Missouri Pacific was more pronounced
at the outset, and 4 per cent was
knocked off in it's price within the
first hour. The rest of the market
was dragged down, and while the de-
cline was steady under the pressure
to sell from frightened holders and
the triumphant bears resistance,
in view of the nature of the
depressing force it was remarkable.
Over 100000 shares changed hands in
the forenoon, and after that time there
was comparative quiet in the mar
ket, with some slight improvement
and recoveries, although the market
remained feverish throughout. In the
last hour, however, there was re-
newal of depressing influence. Trans
actions again resumed enormous pro-
portions, while the prices melted away
rapidly. Missouri Pacific took an
other dip and touched 65 cents against
"A 1-2 cents last evening, while Union
Pacific dropped to SO cents and many
others showed marked weakness. The
stocks, which had throughout the
forenoon resisted the decline, nov
gave away. The market, under con-
tinucd pressure, closed very active
and weak at about the bottom figures
| of tine day.

A LEGAL FARCE.
THE GURLEY, ROSS AND GURLEY CASE
BECOMING VERY RIDICULOUS.
When Judge King Has an Arrest Made For
Contempt of Court, Release by Ha-
beas Corpus is Ordered by Judge
Goodrich And Vice Versa

Special to The Statesman.
SAN ANTONIO, Tex, Sept. 24.-The
tangle in which District Judge Good
rich of Waco and DistrictJudge King
of San Antonio are involved, is one of
the most singular and most ridiculous
in the judicial history of Texas, but is
serious enough to call for the interven-
ton of Gov. Hogg before it is ended.
In Judge Kings court the receiver
ship of the San Antonio and Arkansas
Pass railroad is vested. Before ther e.
ownership was instituted the company
contracted with Gurley, Ross q Cur
ley of Waco to grade the Waco extern
sion. Gurley, Ross q Gurley sub-let
the work. After the receivership was
instituted the sub-contractors APP
peared and swore that they had not
been paid by Gurley, Ross u Gurley,
aud asked that their claims be
allowed. They were passed on by the
master in chancery and allowed.
Gurley, Ross d Gurley claiming that
the Arkansas Pass road owed the $780,
600, appealed for and were granted an
injunction by Judge Goodrich, re-
straining the receiver from laying
rails on the graded work. Judge King
told the receiver to go ahead.
Three foremen of the track-laying
gangs have been arrested by order of
Judge Goodrich for contempt of court.
Judge King has issued orders for their
habeas corpus trial, and will release
them. He has also issued an order
for the arrest of the sheriff of McLen-
nan county for contempt of the San
Antonio court in serving the Goodrich
writ. Judge Goodrich will doubtless
release him.
The affair is likely to continue in
definitely. The men whom Goodrich
iails for contempt will be released
under habeas corpus by King, and
the men whom King jails for contempt
will be released by Goodrich, and
should the sheriff of McLennan
county fail to obey Judge Kings
habeas corpus order, the governor
will be appealed to and rangers will
be sent to Waco to enforce it. Should
the BeXar county sheriff refuse to
obey Judge Goodrich's habeas corpus
order, rangers will be sent to San An
tonic to complicate matters. Good
rich has issued writs for the arrest Of
Receivers Yoakum and Mcnamara for
contempt.
In the meantime tracklaying on the
Gurley, Ross q Gurley extension will
60 merrily on, and as fast as the fore
men are arrested for contempt fresh
ones will be substituted, and Judge
King will release the jailed ones by
habeas corpus process. Itisi nsisted by
the San Antonio court that as the
receivership is vested in it, the claim
of Gurley, Ross q Gurley, if they
have any claim, should be filed be-
fore the master in chancery like the
claims of other creditors, and be pass
ed upon in regular order. District
Judges Goodrich and King were in
consultation in Austin some days ago,
but were unable to reach any agree
ment. 1t has become evident that
sooner OF later Governor Hogg will
take hand. Altogether it is a very
pretty how-dy-do.
