of Houses Damaged.

For the past few days the surface

Luzerne street has been greater than

a small office. owned by Richard AS
well This building has suffered from
the settling and, in fact, every struc-
ture in the vicinity is more or less
damaged.
In front of the Main avenue home of
John Gaffney the portion of the gate
shows the disturbance of the surface.
The gate has sprung fully seven inches
and it seems to have never been in
tended to close as an ordinary gate.
The plastering in this house is cracked

greatly from the disturbance. Many
other buildings are affected but no

MARKET AND STOCK REPORT
Wall Street Review.

New York, May l2-lnternational
matters were the controlling influence
at the stock exchange today. AT the
opening speculation was characterized
by strength. the better outlook for an
amicable settlement Of the difficulties
growing out of the seizure of the Amer
loan schooner Competitor by the Span
ish government having led to fairly
large purchases for both foreign and
home account. London bought nearly
10000 shares OF stocks. St. Paul and
Louisville and Nashville figuring most
prominently in the dealings. The early
rise was equal to halL per cent, the
Industrials. Grangers and information
ais leading. The buying power, how
ever. was soon exhausted and a period
of dullness followed. In the afternoon
trading the market was more active
and prices declined throughout the list.
The selling was partly based on reports
Of an Anglo Russian dispute over ter
ritory in Che Eco and partly to the
failure Of the leading Republican can
didate for the presidential nomination
to announce his position on the cur
rency. 1t may be added that the pro-
fessional bears are taking full advan-
tagc Of the latter to bring about liquida-
tions. Up to date they have not been
very successful. The decline in prices
during the afternoon ranged from Il
to 2ss per cent, Manhattan leading.
This stock was sold on reports that
thu forthcoming quarterly statement
will be unfavorable. Missouri Pacific,
the Changers, Louisville and Nashville
were also pressed for sale. Near the
close on buying to cover short sales
prices rallied fractionally. Speculation
closed about steady in tone. Net
changes show gains Of lsa1s per cent.
Manhattan lost 9, Consolidated Gas lia
and Tennessee Coal and Iron ! per cent.
Total sales were 12S, ,353 shares.

male friends Of the society, two short
plays were given. Miss Margaret
Gibbs, the talented young West Side
lady. who has delighted hundreds by
