WEST SIDE
THE EARTH SINKING.
Many Houses Are Badly Cracked and
Damaged.

many douees are badly Craokeo ana
Damaged.
On Friday last. tiny assures were no.
ticed on the streets at various places
from Eynon to Rock street. The
cracks were first Of litils, or no impor-
tanee, but on the same evening they
widened to Q considerable degree. The
portion of the territory most affected Is
Eynon and Hampton streets. west Of
Main avenue In the Fifteenth ward.
Many houses are badly cracked, while
much Of the plastering has fallen from
others. The trouble is caused by the
big vein, which Is about twsnty-one
feet in thickness, where the squeeze is
taking place. At an early hour Sat-
urday morning rumblings were heard,
and many people were badly fright
ensd a. they feared q great calamity
was about to occur. A TRIBUNE re-
porter traversed the ground and Wis
tied many Of the houses yesterday.
The place which seemed to be tbs
most seriously affected Is the drug
store Of David M. Jones on South
Main avenue. The building has
dropped about Ave inches In the rear,
and where q connection was made
about the centre Of the structure it
has bean divided, leaving q crack from
the roof to the ground measuring
about two TO four inches. The double
dwelling occupied by Tax Collector
Reese G Powell and Mrs. James on
Eynon street was visited. There are
four large cracks in the cellar walls,
and the building has fallen about four
inches in the rear, A noticeable fact
was, that the buildings affected all
drop on the side which faces Hampton
street. The main water pipe on Hamp,
ton street was bursted by the eruption,
and o gas pipe at the corner OF Main
avenue broken. ln many places g por.
tion Of the sidewalks have hsaved up,
and the cracks in the road, which at
first could barely be disesrnsd, have
greatly widsnsd.
School building No. IS. ,on Eynon
street, suffered little damage, although
the yard contains many assures. Con-
trarY to the announcement in yester-
days Free Press there will be school
today. II there Is not another settle
msnt In the ground the damage can
probably be easily repaired. But as
matters stands the buildings are now
in such condition, and the founda.
tions so uncertain. that another slight
cave would cause few Of them to tot
ter and fall. Mrs. Gore, Of Hampton
street, was overcome with the odor Of
gas from the break In the pipe, but il
now racoYarad.

EVOLUTION OF A STREET CAR.
What Was Once Tram Car Now Used
az Q Land Office.

az Land Office.
The traveller on the turnpike road
that leads from Peckville to Jessup,
observes after crossing the river at the
former place on the left hand side Of
the road near the banks Of the pearly
Lackawanns. the hulk OF an ancient
street car moored to stakes in the
ground to prevent Its being carried of.
On the running board at the top Of the
car can be traced the following line,
the letters almost worn off by the
weather, Cedar and Pittston ave-
nues,"
1t is No. /, and was the first horse
car run on the South Side line. The
length Of II Is 10 feet 8 inches, and Ii
was guaged to the narrow horse Car
tracks. After the electric motor super
seeded the equine as motive power this
car was purchased by the Winton real
estate agency. and has since been used
as land Office. The impression the
stranger receives on looking at the car
is that 1t is used by a camp Of gypsies,
as 1t stands near small grove Of trees.

CHICAGO MARKETS..
The BOARD OF TRADE.

CHICAGO. Oct 6-Trade was frmer to-
day, but the firmness characterized all the
principal speculative markets. Wheat
gained &c as the result of the days BUSH
ness. Corn rose &c for October delivery
and &c for May. Oats are without change
and provisions higher. Liverpool Was
quoted steady on wheat. but Paris and
Berlin lower. Business in the pit was
dull and trading without any special feat
ure. The market was firm and December
closed at SIC and May at 55I.e. December
opened at 53s.c and fiuctuated between
those figures and 54ssc. Corn received but
moderate attention. the market ruling
much less active. The feeling was fairly
firm. There were eighty-eight cars in to-
days receipts and this created steady
opening, but little realizing by local longs
carried the price down nc. the trading be-
ing ofthe evening up order. The prices
afterwards advanced a@Jzc. changed
some, held steady aud closed at 5iLc.
There was q moderate call for October and
it was generally held at 1s@ssc premium
over May. May was sold early by q large
shipping and private concern, but later
the early sellers turned buyers and
steadied values. The estimated arrivals
for Monday were light, at sixty-five cars,
aud these had a strengthening tendency.
In oats but q very email amount of stuff
was handled, and that within q very mar
row range. The market ruled duh through
out the entire session. There was no dis
position to trade either way. May started
today at SAC, sold of TO $3.50, and con-
tiuued easier all the way until Just before
the close, when Sac was again paid, aud
the market rested at that price. Proyis-
ions started weak. but soon began to
gather strength and rise in sympathy with
other markets. They closed at q fair ad-
vance on yesterdays prices. Compared
