REALTY MARKET DULL.
Continued Cold Weather Has Had
mich To Do with This.


The real estate market is, at present, very
quiet, exceedingly so for this season of the
year Real estate dealers say this inactivity
is accounted for by the extended winter
weather and the general business stagna-
ton. The prospects for the seasons build
ing are, however. encouraging, as large
number of contracts are being let every
day Some of the contractors say that the
increase in their lines is due TO the low
and prophesy that in a short time the rush
of building will restore original prices.
The increase in building contracts is q
favorable sign to real estate men. They
are not in the least discouraged at the
lateness of the opening of their busy sea-
will come with rush. There have, as yet,
been few inquiries after salable property,
for as long as the cold weather continues,
people care little about visiting or buying.
One dealer asserts that people Will also de-

during the last year that several pieces of
property in the districts where the tax was
the heaviest are being offered for sale,
without takers.
of real estate will run during the coming
season, but it is thought that they will
remain very stiff. The market is not flooded
with valuable sites. though many more Will
be placed in the hands of the dealers in a
few weeks, when the demand for such opens
up. If the weather is favorable, dealers say
that the indications as TO the spring trade
will begin to be apparent in about two
weeks or a month, and they look for a
rather active season of transfers.

To the Editor of the Indianapolis Journal:
There is an item in your issue of to-day
which. while probably not intended, does
me an injustice. A very large number of
bills were referred to the judiciary commit
tee, and all, except few that were referred
to us when it was too late to act upon
them. received careful attention. do not
believe that our committee can be charged
with smothering anything. The bill you re-
fer to, at the earnest solicitation OF Mr..
Ketcham, was pushed forward out of its
order and three reports were made on it;
Newly, LaFollette and Vail reported in ia
vor of its passage, Kern and Parker for
amending IT. and cranor and Shiveley for
indefinitely postponing 1t. The report made
by Cranor and Shiveley was adopted by the
Senate. Afterward, when l was in the
chair, a motion was made 10 reconsider the
vote; a point of order was raised that a
motion to indefinitely postpone could not
order. an appeal was taken, the Chair was
sustained. the motion was put and the Sem

referred to my committee. think Mr..
Ketcham will bear me out IN the state

FIRING OF THEIR CABIN.
A Posse Runs Them to Cover
and a Fierce Fight Wages
for Several Hours.
THE OUTLAWS REFUSE TO YIELD
Then the Match Is Applied to
Their Retreat and They Perish
in Agony.

LITTLE Rock, Ark, March 10-A special
from Enterprise, I. T., says that posse in
pursuit or two men who had stolen thirty
horses in the Choctaw Nation followed
the thieves for three days, finally sur
rounding them ten miles east of that
place The thieves refused to surrender
and kept up constant fire, having dis
mounted from their horses and taken to
the woods. The posse pressed them closely
and the fight was kept UP for two or three
hours.
One of the pursuers received bullet in
his arm, SCATTERING it and causing him to
fall from bis horse. Finally the entire
party massed and charged the two crimi-
nails, forcing them to take refuge in a
cabin. Here the thieves barricaded them
selves and defantly proclaimed that they
would not be taken alive.
After repeated efforts to induce them to
give up the house was set afire. Although
the roof was mass of flames the thieves
still refused to come out and threat
ened death to any of the posse who ven
tured near. At last the frame of the build
ing fell in, buryiDg the desperadoes in the
ruins and they were roasted to death.

there are no idle men in Benicia; so every
thing seems CHEEKY. The working people
all live in detached cottages, with pretty,
little dooryards in front, and for these
attractive little places the rent ranges from
S. to $12. One striking thing I noticed,
and that is that every workingman has a
daily paper put down at his door.
The business houses seem to be in good
condition. One of the most artistic places
| imaginable is the iewelry and art novelty
store of T. J. Stumm. Mr.. Stumm, who
was engaged in the same line of business
in Paris and London, came TO California
for mis- health and continued in the same
artistic line, partly for personal gratifica-

sought and to-day he has orders from all
parts of the State.

ASSEMBLYMBN IN A CAUCUS.
HELD-A SECRET MEETING YESTER-
DAY AND DISCUSSED THEIR
PROGRAMME.
THEY WILL VOTE IN FAVOR OF a
GENERAL COUNTY d.
VISION BILL.

About score of members of the Assem-
bly,, including most of the leading spirits
OF that branch of the Legislature, came
over from Sacramento yesterday and held
a quiet little meeting to lay out a pro-
gramme for the last week of the thirty first
session. The meeting was held in the back
room of a well-known place of entertain
ment and in its nature closely approached
party caucus, all persons who are not
members of the Legislature having been
vigorously excluded from the deliberations.
The programme, as laid out, includes the
passage OF general law regulating county
division. The bill containing such a
statute has been taken from the file but
according TO the programme it will be re-
placed and hurried to its final passage.
The measure which grants to Boards of
Supervisors authority TO regulate the
charges of electric light companies was an
other which received favorable considera-
ton. BY its provisions the Supervisors
will meet annually to fix the rates for cleo
trio lights in much the same fashion as
they now regulate city water rates
The Powers bill, enlarging the powers of
the Grand Jury so that that body may
hold open sessions and take evidence and
conduct their Investigations in public,
was also discussed This measure was
finally passed on Friday night by large
majority vote, but notice OF reconsidera-
ton has been given and the matter will
probably come up in Sacramento this morn
ing. Among the Programmes there was a
division of opinion upon the merits of the
bill, but they decided finally to vote for a
reconsideration in order to allow further
argument in the matter. 1t is not likely,
however, that there will be a slip in this
part of the programme.
Several other measures were talked over
but in regard to them the Assemblymen
present at the meeting maintain the ut
most reserve. In fact, many of them when
closely questioned return to the cross

Among the Assemblymen who were in

down in force, among it's members being

that though several of the Assem- blymen

case do their names appear on the hotel
registers.

For the Benicia public schools 1 have
not words with which to express the praise
which should in justice be given. The
school trustees have allowed the most per-

The teachers are alive to everything that is
new and for the best, SO it is hard to specify
any one thing in particular. Miss Emma

well as teacher in the High School, is the
dominating force to which the perfection of
the work is due. The vice-principal, Miss
Anna Burner, is a most energetic, popular
lady. The primary department is es-
pecially well conducted, the lady in charge
having had the same school for twenty-five
years.
