FUNDS MADE AVAILABLE.
The Commissioners May Now Re
move Unsafe BufIdings.


s. T. Thomas, Attorney for the District.
has rendered an opinion to the District
Commissioners which will enable them
to put into effect the law of March ] last,
which authorizes them to remove all dan
gerous and unsafe buildings. 1t seems
that the act does not carry with ii any
appropriation for the expense of carrying
out its provisions and the Commissioners
found themselves in a dilemma when it
came TO enforcing the law.
The first situation of this kind was
brought TO the attention of the Commits
sioners recently by the District Inspector
OF Buildings in case where he had con-
demned certain structure as dangerous
and had ordered the owner, Thomas C.
Jones, TO secure it by underpinning. Mr..
Brady suggested that the work be done
by the District Government and the ex-
pense met out of the emergency fund, in
view of the failure of Congress to make
any specific appropriation in passing the
measure
The matter was then referred TO the
Attorney for the District, whose opinion,
recently rendered TO the Commissioners,
advises them that they may properly use
the emergency fund in enforcing the pro-
visions of the law. Attorney Thomas
opinion reads in part as follows:
This case is governed by the act of Congress
approved March ], 1899, 10 authorize the Com
missioners to remove dangerous and unsafe build
ings. By the first section of that act, if an,
building be unsafe the Inspector of Buildings shal
| examine II, and, II found unsafe, it is made hi
/ duty TO Immediately notify the owner, agent, o
| other person interested to cause the building Il
! be made safe, etc. Said act further provides thai
! in case OF neglect refusal of the owner, agent
/ or other person interested 10 cause the buildin.
TO be taken down or otherwise be made safe, tn.
| inspector shall proceed either TO make the build
| ing safe or take il down, and shall report TN
4 cost of the work to the Commissioners who ar
authorized 10 assess the amount thereof agains
the lot OF ground which the unsafe strIctur
stands or stood.
Ny opinion is, Mr. Jones. having failed afte
notice to make the wall Of his building on tn
alley safe. the inspector should proceed unde
| the statute 10 do il, and report the cost of til
work 10 the Commissioners
The act above referred to carries no appropria
tion TO execute its provisions, bu; tine emergenc
fund may be used, the case falling within til
language and in all cases Of emergency no
otherwise sufficiently provided for contained i
the District of Columbia appropriation bill in re
gard 10 the use of that fund
Mr.. Jones, the owner Of the building
has agreed TO underpin the wall as direct
ed and he will be permitted to proceed witt
4 the work.

4 Biy Draft Closes n BANKS Doors.

Dunkirk, n. Y, March 22.-The Excelsior
Bank. at Silver Creek, n. Y, OF which
August Heine is president, made an assign
ment today for the benefit of the creditors.
The immediate cause OF the assignment
was the inability OF the Excelsior to meet
a large draft made upon it yesterday by the
German Bank. of Buffalo. with which the
Excelsior had an open account, and upon
which it had overdrawn. The liabilities
are estimated at $4,000. but Cashier New
ton thinks this estimate too high. The as
sets are large. and includes valuable real
estate, various interests in prosperous
business concerns, and Mr.. Heine's own ex-
tensive private manufacturing business.
MIR Heine's assertion that the bank Will
pay every dollar of Indebtedness is gener-
ally believed.

The market of yesterday must on the
whole be considered a satisfactory one to
the bulls despite some periods of compare
tive weakness owing to high money. The
range of prices was somewhat irregular but
in a majority OF cases the close showed net
gains for the day. 1t was noticeable also
that the standard stocks were not sold, but
on the contrary bought, on all recessions,
by the leaders. In addition TO this while
the trading was largely in the specialties
it was better distributed than heretofore
for several days, showing apparently that
the public is again becoming interested in
speculation The public is very large and
when it begins to buy heavily will turn
the market into a fine bull movement
Perhaps this may not happen before the
end of March, but the advance is likely to
begin at any time. Money was high at
times yesterday, but there were evidences
that lower rates will be obtained within a
few days If not today. The best advice is
probably still to buy the good stocks on
| all recessions.
| Sugar, Brooklyn Rapid Transit, and Man
haitian were the features of the trading.
All were dealt in heavily and all showed
| great strength. In Sugar and Manhattan
| there were good squeezes of the shorts
which resulted in large gains for the day.
| and Brooklyn Rapid Transit also shows a
| net gain at the close, although there was a
decline of a point from the high OF the
| day There is little of news about any of
| these companies The movement in Sugar
| is apparently a gamble pure and simple.
The stock opened at 161. went down to 1853,
| had an advance Of II points TO 1863 and then
declined only to 167 1-2, showing a gain
| of IL points for the day. Manhattan was
| comparatively quiet during the morning
hours, but early in the afternoon showed
signs of accommodating momentum for an
| advance. Later it went up steadily TO
| 11O 1-2 and closed at no 37S. The talk is
of much higher prices for the stock. and
many are of the opinion that, move of
several points is now due in it.
| Brooklyn Rapid Transit despite the fact
that 1t did not advance so rapldiy as Ihe
other two most active stocks was on the
| whole more satisfactory in Its movements
than either of them. There we're no per

BLEEDING PILED

And all other forms OF this common and
often dangerous disease readily cured with
out pain or inconvenience.
Thousands of men and women are affiict-
ed with some sort of piles. without either
knowing the exact nature of the trouble,
or knowing il, are careless enough TO allow
it to run without taking the simple means
offered for radical cure.
The failure of salves and ointments 10
permanently cure piles has led many to be-
lieve the only cure TO be a surgical op-
Grafton.
Surgical operations are dangerous to life
and, moreover, not often entirely success
full, and at this time are no longer used by
the best physicians or recommended by
them.
The safest and surest way to cure any
case of piles, whether blind, bleeding OF
protruding, is to use the Pyramid Pile
cure, composed of healing vegetable oils
and absolutely free from mineral poisons
and opiates The following letter from q
Pittsburg gentleman, a severe sufferer from
bleeding piles, gives some idea OF the
prompt effectual character of this pile cure
He writes:

to let you know that l did not sleep foi
