WnAr THE RENTING AGENTS SAY.

WHAT THE RENTING AGENTS SAY.
There is n Demand Tor u Certain Kind Of
Dweiiing--property owners Have Made
Rent Reductions.
A visit was paid to some Of the lead
ing real estate offices on Friday IN
order to ascertain the nature OF the de-
mand for houses and MS to what part OF
the city the demand would show
preference at present.
JOSEPH l.. CARPENTER, IN.
At the office Of Joseph L. Carpenter,
Jr., it was learned that there is a de-
mand for all kinds of houses at rates
from SO up. The demand is mostly for
houses on the west side. The usual de-
mand is for houses letting at Sl5and
upwards. There is quite number OF
vacant houses, House property owners
have allowed a reduction of about III
per cent
HEALD & co.
At Heald & Co.'s it was learned that
middle-priced houses, varying from $l2
to $40, are more plentiful than there IS
q demand for. What are largely asked
for are small houses letting at $40 and
under. AS regards higher.p priced houses,
rents are not changed. OF these there
will not be many left over on March
25th. 1t looks as if people are doubling
up in the rentals from $l4 to $15.
HAWKINS co.
At Hawkins & Co.'S office the report
is that high. priced houses are not in
active demand. Prices above $50 are
fHkA nhtaf Inf,p t,1 Ia frgf,,
$12 to $50. Below $l2 and above $50
there is not much movement. There is
a number of low.priced houses, ranging
from So to so, offering. But these are
usually in remote and inaccessible loca-
tions.
What is needed is modern style,
two.story house, compactly built, say
eight rooms, and costing from $4,000 to
$4,000 to build. Such houses would
sell well and would always rent. In
| quiries indicate this, A model Of this
kind Of house was exhibited at the
Worlds Fair. Inquirers also ask for a
front yard and porch. Those who have
had them once decline to rerent any
other kind of house. ..s
GEORGE II. TOWNSEND co.
| At the Office OF George IL. Townsend
& Co. it was learned that there has been
some reductions in rentals. Some $1S
rentals have gone down TO $11. The
demand is as good as could be expected
these times. Landlords arc disposed t
be considerate, and are inclined L
shoulder their share of the presen
stringency.
FINLEY & FoULK.
The rental supply is much ahead o
the demand is the statement from
Finley & Foulk. The demand is TO
cheap houses. The largest demand i
for homes on the west side. Owners a
rule are conceding reduction o
about 10 per cent.
j. JACKSON PIERCE.
At the office of j. jackson PIERCE tn
statement is of an over-supply of house
and the belief is that people are doub
ling up, that is of two families takinI
one house. Business is expected to i'm
prove before the 25th. There are NOR

MEAT DIMIGED BIZ FIFE.
A Disastrous Cnnfiagration at the Estab
lishinent of the Wilmington AbatfOli

A Disastrous Cnnfiagration at the Isstab-
lishinent of the Wilmington AbattoIr
Fire Of unknown origin broke out in
portion of the large plant of the Will
mington Abattoir and Cold Storage
Company q few minutes before mid
night last Friday night and before ii
could be gotten under control by the
Fire Department, considerable damage
had been done to the building and
several dollars worth Of meat destroyed.
The heaviest loss falls upon the firm of
Sawdon Is Thongs. who rent portion
of the building of the Wilmington
Abattoir and Cold Storage Company.
They will lose between $4,000 and
$4,000 by the fire, while Joseph ii.
Gould will lose in the neighborhood Of
$4,000. -,-..
The flames were discovered first in
the cold storage department, where over
100 head of dressed cattle were ready
for the markets. Sawdon 81 Thomas
lost rs head of cattle, while Mr. Gould
had 80 head more or less damaged by
the flames.
The oliremen reached the burning
structure by running their hose up an
alley leading from Second street, near
Tatnall. TIE smoke was so dense at
one time that it was with the greatest
difficulty that fhe firemen were able to
get their streams successfully on the
blaze. When they finally succeeded in
getting the water on the fire the flames
were brought into rapid subsection.
The building is probably damaged to
the extent Of $4,000, which loss will be
borne by the A battOir COmpany. which
is corporation owning the entire estab-
lishment. This would make the total
approximate loss between $4,000 or
$4,000, part Of which is on the build
ing, but the greatest amount on the
stock of meats.
The fire is complete mystery.

As yet no official action has been
taken in regard to calling anybody to
the pastorate of Asbury Church. EARLY
in the week several members of the
church. acting on their own RESPONSE
bility, went to Laurel and consulted the
Rev. $. N. Pilchard in regard to extend
ing him pastoral call Asbury's
otticiary is favorable to Mr.. Pichard,
but it is doubtful whether he would
accept an invitation from that church at
the present time. Laurel Methodists are
extremely anxious for him to return to

to come back they have agreed to in
crease the pastors salary.

More Prayer and Less scheming.

A wise and devout brother writes: The
complications involved IN a number of
changes contemplated ut the coming ses-
sion of our Conference leaves the matter
Of exchanges in so much uncertainty that
little can be known until the bishop and
his council shall in their wisdom de-
termine what is best. In the meantime
would it not be well for both preachers
and churches to pray earnestly that the
Lord will direct in the making Of appoint
ments. We believe in prayer in the matter
of appointments, and feel confident that
substantial profit would come to pastor
and flock il there were more prayer and
less sCheming.

JOHN sEDo, 6ABINET-MAKER.

The third prominent cabinet-maker
of old times is John Sebo. He was an
industrious man making collins and at
tending funerals at the corner of
Seventh and Market streets, in an old
frame shop, where Beetem's drug store
now is. He was afterwards noted for
his patents, patent bedsteads, wheel
barrows, carts, &c.
One of his patent carts had the horse
inside the cart, that is the cart was over
him and you could hardly see the
animal. Among other inventions of this
busy ingenious man was new kind of
cradle. He found out that the children
had all been rocked the wrong way.
According to his ideas the baby should be
swung from the ends, not rock sideways.
Tho invention was pretty good thing
and the truth of his idea is now shown
in the perambulators or baby carriages
which the mother gently moves back
and forth with one hand instead of the
old cradle which is never seen now
with its old sideways rocking movement.
