Old railroad men reported yesterday

bound North were more or less delayed
by the wind and several of them report
being almost completely stalled ON the

hard experiences with the wind and
cold.

THE WORLD OF BUSINESS


New York. March 3.-There was ma
terial falling OFF in the volume Of busi-
ness at the stock exchange today, and
dealings in stocks dwindled down to
201,57S shares. The decrease in busi-
ness was due chiefly to the fact that
operators in stock have recovered from
the scare produced by the Baltimore
and Ohio receivership and the action Of
congress on the Cuban question. Find
ing the supply of stock small recent
short sellers endeavored to cover, and
this with moderate buying for the long
account led to an advance near the
opening of 1aa2 per cent. In the rise
Cotton Oil preferred, Louisville and
Nashville. Laclede Gas preferred and
Tennessee Coal were most conspicuous.
An incident of the day was the rise in
st. Paul to TN and the decline In Bur-
lington and Quincy to 76h. This Is the
first time In the history of the stock
exchange that st. Paul stock has
crossed Burlington and Quincy. st.
Paul now stands second to Northwest
In the Granger group. In the afternoon
trading Tobacco dropped to 7G on re-
ports from st. Louis that the outside
companies intended to go into the cigar
cite business. This gave rise to a ru-
NOR which could not be confirmed that
the American Tobacco had sold 1000. 600
new preferred stock. The break in the
stock exerted an unfavorable influence
on the general list, but the decline, ex-
Cept in the case of Rubber, was unim-
portant. The stock named dropped 3
per cent to 2iia on the revival OF the
reports of internal dissensions. Toward
the close steadier feeling obtained in
the general market. ST. Paul at this
time exhibited considerable strength
Baltimore and Ohio securities were less
active and If anything, somewhat
steadier. The market closed steady to
firm. Net changes show advances OF

WEST SIDE EVENTS.
New No. Is, School on Bellevue Heights
Is Ono Of tho Prettiest In
the City.

Not only the cheapest, but In the
opinion Of many the prettiest and most
commodious in the city is the new No.
13 school ON Bellevue Heights, which
will be completed and ready for occu-
pancy before the end Of this month.
The school il situated on the top Of
q natural bluff In what was formerly
known as the "clover field" which. dur
ing recent years, has been divided into
building lots. From the turret of the
building, which is eighty-five feet from
the foundation. and at least fifty feet
more from the level Of I.ackawanna
avenue, the finest possible view Of the
city and valley Is offered. Not a sec
ton Of Scranton Is excluded but the
whole IL offered in an astonishing pam
Drama.
The building is architecturally hand
some. 1t Is built in the form of three
squares, each square being smaller
than the one Immediately I'm front. The
first division faces easterly and is built
in two different styles; one square and
one circular. over the main entrance
are two allegorical figures and the in
scription in stone, "School No. 13."
There are five entrances in all, two on
each side of the building beside the
main one in front. The external make
up of the building Is of brick veneer
with a wooden frame. Over the VIM
dows are arches OF buff brick, and the
foundation is of best mountain yellow
stone. The rest of the trimmings are
of red stone from the West Mountain.
The interior Is finished in natural wood.
Every room has from seven to nine
windows. and the building is unusually
we'll lighted throughout. There are
twelve rooms for pupils each, measur
ing 24xS2. The seating capacity of the
entire building is 600 pupils. There are
twenty-siX small closets and three spe-
cial teachers rooms, each being ten
foot square In size. The halls of the
two stories are handsomely finished.
Upstairs in the attic 9S by 12S foot
apartment is designed for the pleasure
of the pupils during the period tof
recreation. tSmead & Willis had charge
of the ventilating and heating. There
are four furnaces, with one large fan
for distribution of the hot air, and two
smaller ones for discharging the USE
less. The building cost $2s573. Edwin
s. Williams, who built the structure,
obtained the contract Tor S2S,373. Smead
d Wills bid $4,000 for the ventilating.
and were successful. John L. Duck
worth was the architect.

Tillman Challenges Harrison.

WASHINGTON, Aug. Ex-senator Ben,
jamin Tillman created another polltlcal
sensation here to-day by challenging E1-
President Benjamin Harrison to joint
debate on the issues of the pending cam
paign. Senator Tillman passed through
this city this morning on his way South,
probably to look after the interests of
Governor Evans, who seems to have slip
ped his trolley in his race for Senator
irby's seat. Senator Tillman has been
in Pennsylvania talking politics to the
coal miners, and it is said that he has
made q great hit with the diggers Of
dusky diamonds. He stopped over here
long enough to confer with National
Com mitteeman Lawrence Gardner and
notify him that he forwarded to Gen
Harrison, at the Fifth Avenue Hotel, the
following challenge:
Hon. Benjamin Harrison, New York
City, N. Y: have just spent week In
Pennsylvania, speaking to many thous.
ands. Your speech in New York last
night attacks me specifically, and would
be pleased to meet you in Joint debate be-
fore Northern audience, preferably at
Indianapolis. B. K. !ILLMAN.
At Democratic and Republican head
quarters the suggestion of a joint discus
sion between the two Benjamins occa-
stoned much comment. Harrison Is re-
garded as one of the ablest stump speak
ers in America, and his friends claim that
he is the best man on his feet, from an
oratorical standpoint, in the Republican
party, Senator Tillman is also one OF the
best rough and tumble debsters in the
silver ranks, and talking match between
these two famous men would be worth
travelling miles to witness. Neither
Democrats nor Republicans believe that
q Joint NJ Getting between the two men will
be- arranged, although it is not believed
that Harrison will permit Tillman's
challenge to be passed unanswered. SEN
ator TiIlman's visit to Pennsylvania is
said to have been in the interest of the
friends Of free silver. The senator says
there is an astonishing upheaval Tor
silver among the miners in the Pennsyl-
vania coal regions. He predicts that the
November election will be the biggest
surprise ever known in keystone State
politics. The Pennsylvaniansa are anxious
to have the South Carolina Senator return
for further campaign work. No decision
was arrived at as to where the Senator
will speak. His programme of speech
making will be announced when the
managers here confer with the national
committee in Chicago. 1t was thought
best not to assign the South Carollnlan 10
any place until it was found what assign
ments the national committee had given
him, Some of Tillman's enemies charge
that his latest grand stand play is made
in the hope that it will rally his followers
at home for the primary in the Senatorial
contest.-NeWS and Courier.

A Tough Story From Florida.

SAVANNAH, Ca, August 5.-A special
TO the Morning News from st. Augustine,
Fla, says: Allen Miller, residing at the
Moultrie settlement, near here, was bit
ten by skunk or Wednesday, and at
once gave signs of hydrophobia. Before
he was secured he badly bit his stepson,
and ran through the woods, biting trees
and everything coming in his way. he
was tied to the bed yesterday in parox-
ysm, broke the lashing and escaped to
the woods, severely biting two of his
keepers, one dangerously. Application
was made to Judge Cooper here tonight
for the sheriff and posse to hunt for and
capture Miller, who is raving maniac.
Women and children in the settlement
are terrorized, and as word is passed
about houses are barricaded against the
man, who, when last seen, was biting
cattle.
