cal politics. The father died Jan. 8,
1889 He had served as alderman for
eight years with credit to himself and
advantage to the city. His practical
sagacity and sterling character
brought him successive appointments

and board Of health.
The alderman was born May "a,
1924, at Tarbert, County Kerry, Ire
land He came to America in 1847,
remained at Louisville, KY, until 1858,
and then removed to st. Paul. Here
he soon prospered as a contractor. He
was one of the builders Of the st. Paul

that railroad was begun in the early
SOS.
Mr.. O'Connor left widow and three
sons-John j. OConnor, born in 1856,

Mayor Smith displayed his human
sympathy yesterday when man called
at his Office in the city hall and asked
for work. He said his family was in
need of the necessaries of life, but he
had not much hope of getting a job,
for he had been in the city for so short
a time.
.How long have you been here?"
asked the mayor.
"Oh, your honor, I haven't been here
long enough to vote" replied his Wis
itor. 81 have been in ST. Paul less than
two months"
"It doesn't make any difference" de-
clared the mayor, whether you can

The O'Connor house is being remod-
eled This announcement will scarce
ly excite attention nowadays. Most
readers will ask, where is the O'Con-
nor house? But forty years ago every
visitor in ST. Paul was escorted over
to Fourth street that he might behold,
and then admire, the fine new stone
hotel.
More recent residents will find the
O'Connor house today on the north
side of Fourth street, west of Robert
street-that is, at No. 81, the first
house west of the National German
American bank building. The old ho-
tel is a tWo-story structure built in
simple, solid fashion of gray limestone.
1t was never a large house, but in
comparison with most local hostelries,
it was notably substantial forty years
ago. When it was erected, as old set

international, it is true didn't burn till
five years afterwards. But although
the international, built in 1856 at Sew
enth and Jackson streets, was a large
brick structure of four or five stories,
brick is not stone. AS for the Mer-
chants hotel, defying fire then as now,
at Third and jackson streets, on the
site of the old st. Paul house, the tam
arack logs placed in the walls of this
earliest hotel in 1886, were not trans
muted into brick until the Merchants

FIRE DESTROYS AN
UNTENANTED HOUSE
Dwelling in ST. Anthony Park Is a
Victim of the Flames.

An old and untenanted dwelling at
the corner of st. Clair and Cleveland
avenues was totally destroyed by fire
at a late hour last night. The house,
which was owned by William Hopkins,
Of ST. Anthony Park, was one Of the
Oldest in that part of the city and had
been unoccupied for some time.
There was no way of getting water
on the flames, as the hydrant was too
distant, and the only thing that could
be done was to call the residents in
the vicinity and form bucket bril-
gade. The dwelling could not be saw
ed. It is not known whether there
was any insurance on the property.

REAL-ESTATE MARKET
EXPERIENCES DULL WEEK
Large Dealers, However, Are Sat
iShed with Present
Conditions.
TRANSFERS AND NJ

There was a notable increase in the num-
Der of real-estate transfers made by the
larger dealers last week. Although no large
deals were closed, a great many small deals
were made, principally for persons who are
moving into new homes for the summer.
The real-estate market annually becomes
lively at the beginning of spring. and, while
March is a trifie early, real-estate agents
say the market shows the effect Of APP
preaching spring. There has been an I'M
usual number of small deals by the larger
dealers. Some of the smaller ones say
that they have not as yet felt the increase
in demand for new property and the past
week with them has been quiet.
Several dealers say they nave some large
deals on hand which they expect TO close
up this week. These deals consist largely
of business property, although several are
valuable residences.
One of the residence transfers made by
Spann & Co. last week was the property
at 21S West Vermont street to DR.. Graham,
of Madison. Ind. The consideration was
81, 500.
