Some One Numbered,

Lynchburg. Va, Jan. 21.-The city
council at a special meeting yesterday de-
cided TO change the present site of the
new High School building, which was pur-
chased at $4,000, and to purchase another
site in different part of the city at $S, 500
with a view to reducing the cost The
most desirable part of the original site
was sold to private parties by the o=ncil
committee having charge of the matter,
and it has developed that the remaining
part of the lot is so constituted and so
precipitous, although its actual cost was
$4,000. which is several thousand mora
than it can be sold for, that the council
voted that some one had blundered ard
that the city had better protect its loss,
give up the original lot and buy IA ..e y
one. This was accordingly done. An ex-
pensive foundation had been excavated d
and this, too, will have to be abandoned.

! The market this morning was another
| record breaking Saturday. During the
! entire day there was an immense flood of
| buying orders, which pushed up prices
| constantly in almost every direction. New
York Central made another exciting squirt,
| Illinois Central went up several points.
| the Atchison securities were very strong
and active, and, in fact, the entire list
! felt the stimulus of the public enthusiasm.
| There was realizing by those who have
! profited by the great advance. but at no
| time was the desire nearly SO great as that
! to get in. In every way the week has been
| a most remarkable one, except that the
| Street and the public have become habit
uated to such tremendous buying and such
unusual advances in prices by the course
| of the last two months gradual attaining g
| of momentum the feeling of astonishment
| would be much greater than it is. And
| even as it is, the oldest Wall Street peo-
pie acknowledge that they have never seen
a market in any way approaching this.
There is nothing in the situation any
where to suggest break in the near fu
ture. Everything in the generals news is
| satisfactory and the market, despite its
immensity, shows every indication of
health. Another bank statement even
| better than last weeks was given out to-

| surprising for such usually quiet stock
