12 THE CHICAGO DAILY TRIBUNE: SUNDA " 'REAL ESTATE. -A Decided Tncreaso of Sales, But Generally at Low Prices, Capitalists from Abroad HMere in Search of * Bargains:*® They Show a Disposition to Buy Busi- ness Property. First-Class Residence Property Chang- ing Hands. Sales in Various Quarters. - A change ia evidently coming over the real sstate market, There has been no time eince Iast August when thero was such a perceptible incroase in tho inquiry for all classes of prop- erty as within the paet weck. ‘This i the unani- mous report of nearly all theresl estato brokers. One well-known broker, sho deals almost ex-~ clusively in firat-class business aud residence property, tells us that wheress ho did slmost nothing for nearly three months, up to two waeke 880, be has within s few days made trans- sctions to the amount of several hundred thons- and dollare, and that he has now not less than three customers, capitalists from other cities, who are here looking for chances to invest in DUSINESS ITOPERTY, either improved or unimproved. Several impor- tant transactions in this class of property have ‘been about concluded in the fast fow days and will then sppear in the sily lists of trausfars, but for the present the brokers are unusually reticent about the prices obtainod, and tho re- porter is obliged to givo & pledge of secresy be- fore he can get enongh information to convincs -him that this ambiguous talk about large trans- actions is net all gammon, The cause of this unnecessary nervousness about publicity, scoms o arise from the fact that mearly all the sales have becn made st & considerable DECLINE IN PRICES trom thoss at which the same property wonld havesold a year agp. As Dear a9 we can eati- mate, the recent transactions indicate an average decline of 15 to ¥ PER CENT on business property generally, as compared with s year ago. On State, Olark, Madison, and Wachington streets it has not been snywhere near 8o much, and probably few pieces of prop- erty on these streets could 'be bought any less than a yoar 2g0, except in cases where owners ‘wero obliged to sell within a giventime. But, with the exception of the Madison strect frontage, it is probable that nove of the businces gronlfly west of Fifth avenue, and =8 far as the river, ‘wonld sell for 88 much £9 it was held at s year ago by from 25 to 30 per cent. The real estate ‘brokers, however, all claim, and with Somo show of 7eazon, that the recent transactions in busi- ness property have nearly all been forced sales, and that, therefore, they do not indicate any general reduction in the prices of even such property as i offercd for sale. It is true that while the owners of four-fifths of the prop- . erty in the business district north of Van Burcn street, would not sell forless than the prices they asked a yoar ago (and most of them wonld not sell even for that) any property now forced to eale must sell fora good deal Jess than last year's price. 1t is & noteworthy fact, however, that every one of the recent sales of business- “property has been mado at from FIVE TO TEN PER CENT MORE than the same property could have been bought for sixty days ago. i This upward tecdency of Eficea and increased aciivity 1 connection with business property is ot quite £ positive in connection with FIRST-CLASS RESIDENCE PROPERTY. Nevertholess more of this kind of property, botb improved and wnimproved Lss changed - owners witkin the last two weeks, than in nearly two montns provions. In & good many instances these transfers of residences have been in the settlement of the indebtedness of the former owners. In otbers the owners have concluded to move furiher out and have ex- changod central for suburban property and a 1ittle monoy, intending to build cheaper homea; and, in soma cases, this has been the means of drawing nevw residents to the city to occapy tho more_expensive houses thus = vacated. The Hough mansion on Prairie avenus, sonth_of Tventy-first atreet, ia the finest resideu o that %38 appeared in the published list of transfers for somo months. The price in the deod, is __ ©50,000, which _ is thonght €0 b from $8,000 to £10,000 less than the prop- erty would readily have sold for nyear sgo. The handsome residence No. 110 Calumet 8v- enue, mentioned in the published transfers yes- terdry 28 s0ld for 35,00, was, we understand, & g1t from s father to his daughter. A Jr; 40280, on the corner of Btate and_ Ohio Streets, was s0ld n fow daya ago_for €4,500, nesrly all cash, While this is & Littlo 00 near to Lusinoss fo be considered firstclass residenco property, it was neveriheless s vory low price. Wo hear aiso of other and much more desirsblo ‘property ou the North Side being offered at {rom 10 to 15 per cent less than the prices st which it ‘wag held s yesr sgo. - “There sccms to be a better demand for resi- denoce lots st from _ £80 7o $100 PER FoOT than almost any other class of property. The -great-bulk of this kind of property is in the near suburbs, and yet within the reach of horse- cary and other conveniences for doing business in the city. SUBURBAX ACRES in_almost any direction but southward and southwestward aro very difficule to cell. e ‘bear of the exle of one tract of sixteen acres in the norther:t quarter of See. 35, 3 mile south- weat of the ewell. for nearly all cash, but the parties decline to state the prics for publica- tion, because it was very low. Wo bear also of sovera! offers for acres at various points south of the Bouth {Parks, but as tho prices offered _ware low and owners of land in that direction do not feel disposed to make much reduction in ‘prices, nothing important has been accomplished In that quarter Jately. The property within half a milo of tho north'division of the South Park is probably more firmly held up to former prices than any other in or about thecity. The city continues to grow, and its extenaon along the lines of the various railrosds running south- ward through Englewood snd Hyde Park is shown by the continual incresse of new - wooden houses that are being_Luilt oven now in 38 soason when there isusually a great decreaze i the activity of building in any guarter. 2 SONME REOENT sales which have not appeared in the published list of transfers yet aro as follows : W.

WOBK FOB THE DESTITUTE. i The Conneil Committes on Public Buibim!:s met yesterdsy afternoon in tho office of the City Clerk. Ald. M. B. Bailey presided, and Ald. Heath, Bchmitz, and Brand were present. The Chair explained tho object of the meeting tobe the consideration of the improvement of the old Post-Office building, and the removal of the debrisin the Court-Honse square. Commisaioner Carter, of the Board of Public ‘Works, in response to a question. said the Board wes probibited by the Clisrter from maling acon- tract for work for which there wns n0 appropria- tion. Baut, in order to give work to a faw of the many unemploved men in the city, the Board in- tended to aslk the Conncil for suthority to widen ihe river at Twenty-second strect. The worls conld be done by hand, as well as by dredging, and wonld give 8 number of men &n opportunity to carn a living during a great part of the winter. AlQ. Heath eaid he favored prosecuting the work if it conld be done with advantage to the city. Hewas of the opinion, however, that jn- asmuch a8 there was no appropriation, the Coun- cil would be debarred by law from ordering the proposed improvement. Ald. Bailoy said_there was about $200.000 to the credit of the building fund, and he thought the cicy conld draw from it to makeimprove- ments. Commissioner Prindiville. of the Board of Pub- lic Works, eaid he feared the fund could not be touched, tuless the Council made an appropria- tion from it. The widening of tbe river would cost abont $5,000. Ald. Heath said it would bo useless to recom- ‘mend to the Council tho removel of the Court- House debris, nnless there was money to pay for doing it. i ‘Commissioner Prindiville said that work wounld give employment to ebout 630 e, but he could Tiot 8eo whero they wore to get thei: poy. “Ald, Brand moved that an_order be prepared directing the Board of Public Works to cause the removal of the debris, the expense to bemet from the szle of the material, and aay deficiency to be paid out of the building fund. Commissioner Prindiville £aid tho sale might Do slow and nneatisfactory, and the men would have to be paid promptlg. Ald. Schmitz moved that the Board of Public ‘Works ba directed to remove the rabbish, and :lmrgn the exponse to the canal redemption and. A1d. Heath objected, because he believed the Conncil bad 1o right to tonch that fund. The motion prevailed. THE OLD POST-OFFICE. The resolution of Ald. Spaulding, calling for the repair of the old Post-Office Luilding, was next considercd, As the imgmvamnm would cost 975,000, and tho city wonld derive no par~ ticular bencfit from the outlay, tho matter was laid on the table. EURERA. A remonstranco against the ndoption of tho “Earcka” plan for & Court-Honse, signed by numerous property-owners in the blocks front- ing the Court-House square, was placed on file. POSTPONING BUILDING THE COURT-HOUSE- A resolution postponing the erection of & Court-House until Iate in 1874 was placed on filo. On motion, the Corporation Counsel was di~ rected to give an opinion as to the right of tho Council to nse suy part of the canal redemp- tion fand for the purpose of removing the de- Dbris of the Court-House. The Committes then adjonrned. RAILROAD NEWS. The Pittsburgh & Fort Weyne and the Pan- Handle Railroads, both of which belong to the Pennsylvsuin Company, having successfally weaihered the strike of their locomotive en- gineers, while making all possiblo efforts to rotriovo their losses, have just been attacked by still more powerful enemy, The grotwing up of the Pennsylvania Company to one of the most powerfnl railroad monopalies has alwags been watched with o jealous cye by the altimore & Onio Railway, but, up to tho panic, they could accomplish but little against such an antagonist as Col. Scott. Since that time the Pennsylvania Company has been under & cloud, Col. Scott losing a large part of his for- tune by tho tumble in railroad stocks. The notes of the Texas & Pacific Construction Com- puo, which s tho lessoo of tho Tosas Pacifio Railrond, and which failed shortly aftor the panic, wero aleo indorsed by Scotf, who, on ac- count of this additional misfortune, tendered his resignation—which, bowever, was not accepted— 1o the Pennsylvania Company. The Baltmoro & Ohio Railrond, to add snotber load to tha al- ready heavy burdens of the Pennsylvania Com- parly, now steps in and reduces its rates to such Sigures as no Railroad Company conld Fiofitably :idopt They hevo made the Tollowing reduc- jous : Leticeen To Baltimoro sud Pitteburgh $6.00 Baltimare and Cincinnaf 10.00 Baltimore and Chicago. rates the Pittsburgh & Fort Wayne and Pon.

Messrs. Clement & Ssyer, the well-known manufscturers 2nd dealers in clothing, gave, New Yoar's pight, their fifth annual ball to their employes. They turned tho lower foor of their fine building, Nos. 284 and 286 Milwaukee ave- pue, into a ball-room. The floors were cleared, all the goods caried up-stairs, and the whole floor, 40 by 120 foet of black walnnt snd msh, mads » finer room for dancing than almost any of our largest public hatls. All the employes of the firm,—clerks, catters, talors, and sewing- gzls—to tho ‘number of 300, wers pragent, and istened to the music of the Scandinavian Strin Band, danced till long after midnight, enjoy: the best supper that Browns® could farnish, and listened to speeches, etc. It is this cordial rela- tion between employers and employed which, combined with the cheap cash sales of the firm, has made the house =0 popular snd so influen- tiel, and gained it so large a custom in Chicago and suburban towos. THE PENNSYLVANIA COMPANY. Hore Abont Their Snit Against John B. Sherman et al Interview with Mr, Storrs, the Connsel for Complainant. Abont three weeks ago, a statement of the caso of the Pennsylvania Railroad Company . John B. Shermap and others, was published in Tre Trmyse. Yesterday a reporter callod on ‘Emery A. Storrs, counsel for the Railroad Com- pany, to learn what ho had to eay. Tho infor- mation elicited is subjoined. Reporter—3r. Storrs, I would like to hear your side of the great railroad case; have you any objection to giving it to mo in detail ? Mr. Storrs—Not the elightest. I have almost alwaya declined to give information about cases | in which I am interested, because I prefer to try them in court. But if this case is to be tried in tho newspapers, I would a8 soon try it there as anywhere, T.—What brought about the suit ? Mr. §.—In 1864—in April of that year—John B. Sherman, Archibald M. Allerton, Joseph B. McPherson, and Ssmuel W. Allerton, thinking that the East Liborty cattle-yards might be made o profitable enterprise, went o tho City of Phiadelphis, and induced Ar. Howard, the General Solicitor of the Penn- esivanis Railroad Company, to exccute s lease to a1l those parties, upon s reduction of $10,000 o year rent, on the ground of the upposed infiu- ence of John B, Sherman and Archibald M. Al- lerton in dirocting ehipments of ivo stock. R.—When did they take possession ? Mr. 8.~The very next day after the lease waa exccuted. R.—Did the names of all the parties appear in the lease? Mr. 8.~No. Sherman and Archibald Allerton were complicated with other roads, snd, af their own persional Tequest, their names did not ap- pgl&{. Vs artnership name agreed upon? —Was a ership name Rr. E-—Yi‘a’& Jonor\:h R. McPherson and Samuel W. Allerton. In that woy tho lozse was signed ip presence of sll the partics, and its terms dictated by Archibald M. Allerton. R.—What wss the covenant in the deed ? Mr. 8.~—Theycovenanted to nse their influenco and oxertions, tparsonnl and official, to secare tho shipment of live stock over the Pennsylva- nin Road. 1tis obvions to any ono that the prospority of the yards deponded_entirely upon the faithful performance of the covenant in that lease, for, if no cattlo were ani%ped over the road. there wonld be none fed and yarded there, The interests of tho yarde and the rond were identical. Without the lease, there could havo beon no partnership. < R.—When did the ¢ trouble " begin ? « Mr. 8.—A fow months after the organization of this firm, and tho execution of tha lease, John B. Sherman and Archibald M. Allerton de- clined to assist in the shipment of cattle over the road ; SBamuel W. Allerton sold out his inter- est, and in 1866 Sherman and his copartner, Archibald, sued Samuel W. Allerton in the City of New York, and filed a complaint which was sworn to, and in which they testified that they leasod thoso yards, Whon the trial camo on against their ‘copartnor, they testified to the eamo thing. Thoy recovered, finally, 8 judg- ‘ment before Jadge Barnard, based upon "their complaint and their testimony. 1t baving tumed out that, instead of uainiothei: influence in favor of the Pennsylvauia Boad, they bad per- eistently exerted it in favor of tho New York Central aud the New York & Erie, the Penn- sylvania Road, lest January, brought suit againut them to recover damages for the breach of this 2 at did they firet do? r, S.—They at first filed & plea of, covenant, pro forms, the legal offect of which vas to ad- ‘mit the execution of the Icase. Testimony was taken st Pittsburgh, Philadelphis, New York, Albany, and Buffalo, and it was demonstrated ihat, through the agency of these bwo parties, John B. Sherman and Archibald M. Allerton, one of the heayiest shippers ever known in the West, John T. Alexander, was induced to leave the Pounsylvania Road, and iransfer his business to the New York Central. It also ap- pears, from the testimony on_file, that the very object which the New York Centrnl people had in view was to break Alexander, aud they suc- ceeded ia doing it., R.—What sum isit claimed was lost Dy this transfor of shipments ? 3Ir. 8.—Tho transfer of these large ahifmenls, ‘brought about by the influence of John B. Sher- man and Archibald Al Allerton, cost the Pennsyl- yanis Road, as is proven by tho testimony now on file, the sum of nearly $2,000,000, Tho case was at issue. It was eot for trial. Suddenly, onthe very day tho jury was_impsnoled, new counsel laving been amplofad, Sherman and Archibald M. Allerton asked leave to file a plea deny- ing that they had over exccuted the lease. After a somewhst _protracted argument, Judge Blodgett permitted the plea to be filed. Upon tho point thus prosented, Judge Blodgott, alter 2 long discussion, ruled, substantially, that the leage could ot be admitted in evidence, for tho simple reason that the names of John B. Sher- man and Archibsld M. Allerton did not sppear, cither in the body of the leaso or as signers thereof. A motion for a new trial has beea en- tered, and Judge Drummond is to sit when that motion i§ argued, which is to be done mnext Tnesday. ndi‘o Blodgett is a man of keon, sharp intellectnal perception. I sliare in none of the animadversions which tho Bar, or ortions of the Bar, have made against him. 0 is an upright and 8o incorruptible man, but ho is in his pataro an advocate, and my impres- sion is that Judgo Blodgett, when he comes coolly to deliberato upon o poit which Lo bas decided, will be inclined to revise and reverse his opivion. I havo received, einco the publica- tion of his opinion, lelters from almost every portion of the = couniry—one from the Attorney General of the State; another from Halo Austin, as prominent a Iswyer s {hero is in Western New York—and I haye yet found no lawyer who sgrees with Judge Blodgett in tho opigion which he has expressed. R.—It has been intimated that ihe case was prosecuted in the interest of Samuel W, Aller- ton; is it true ? Mr. 8.—It was go hinted on the trial, and indi- cated ‘in tho aniclepublisked in TuE TRmUNE, but thero is not & single syllable of truth in the assortion. As s matter of course, Samuel W. Allerton, having faifpfully fultilled 'sll the cove- nants of this leage, is injured precigely in the gauo maunor that {he Ponnsylvania Compaoy is injared. R.—1Why was he made a joint defendant ? Mr. S.—Because he was a partner. It is to his interest, if bas _performed: his covenant, to shift liatility from lus own stoulders to those of his guilty co-partuers, The atrocity of the whole busines is this : They have, in the New York Courts, compelled Samuel W, Allerton to account for the profits of the business, which, as the proof alresdy on filo shows, they per- sistontly and industriously sought to destro; So far from endeavoring to sttract bust ness to the East Liberty Caitle Yards, tho proof shows' to a demoostration that, for years, they sought to divert business from them. That theyshonld ever have recovered a judgment entiting them to any share in the profits of a business which théy soughtto de- stroy shocks tho plain moral sense, and violatos overy notion of legal right. I have letters be- forc mo from the General Solicitor of the Penn- sylyania Railroad Company, which indicate the fealing they have upon this subjoct. Thoy will ‘prosecute to the bitter end, and time will deter- mine, what wo perfectly well nnderstand, that the case was brought in good faith, will be pros- ecuted in good faith, and will never ccase until John B. Shermsn and Archibald M. Allerton ~_are compelled to pay the damages which tho Pennsylvania Railroad Com- pany have suffered from thoir groas violation of s solemn a covenant as was ever e. R.—Do you think o new trial will be granted ? 2. 5.—We havo overy confidence, and overy reason to believe the motion will bo granted. Archibald M. Allerton and John B. Sherman Doth testified that the lease never would bave been executed hiad they ot been the substantial parties toit. Iam quite willing to leave thom with their plea, sworn to, that they mever exe~ cated it, contrasted with their testimony in their wearisome litigation with Samuel W. Allerton. If they can derive any honor from the possession of that charactor, they are welccome to all the; can echieve. Idonot think Mr. Dexter woul over have filed his plea. He isa man of broad senge, snd_would have iried this casoon the merits, and, as I think, holds in ntter contempt the cheap triumphs that do not last a month. Let him lough who wins, The day of reckoning _for thess gentlemen come. It is D to bo eupposed that ihe Pennsylyania Bailroad Company can entertsin any feeling of hostilit; toward Samuel W. Aflmgn a8 fin i.l:dividfll!{ when every syliable of the proof shows that, from the beginning to the end, he bas faithfully and religiously kept his engagements with that Company. _JuaEan moat go against him 28 well as against his partners ; but the extent to which they shall contribute in the settlement of | sud ent is & guestion” whick he himself must gottle with his partners, and with which we have nothing to do. THE WORKINGMEN. Abstract ot Their New Platformi. PLATFORX OF TIE WOREINGMEN. Yesterday’s Times contained & synopsis of what purported to be the platform sdopted by the Workingmen's Committee at their late secret meetings. Wo are enabled to state, on the very best authority, that the wholo of that report was a fabrication, having its origin in the vivid imag- ination of a reporter. Not one word or thought was devoted to * taxation by the classos,” asthe Times had it, nor was the subject of compulsory education discussed in the manner reported by the Times. Not only was there no desire ex- pressed on the part of the Committee to form a coalition with the farmers, but the latter have not been once_mentioned daring the do- liberations of tho Committes. Tho last plank of the platform having beon sdopted only night ‘before last, the Committeo had determined not to furnish the press with & copy until after its raport to the workipgmen in mass meeting. TrInoxe reporter, however, succeeded 1n ob- taining the main points of all the nine articles of the new Constisution, and we herewith give them : E. 1 calls for the abolition of all class legislation, and for the repeal of all existing 1aws favoring monopolies. Art. 3 declares that sll means of transpor- tation, such as railroads, canals, etc., snd tele- graphs, shionld be controlled, mannged and op- eratod by the gate. ; : Art. § asks for the abolition of the prevail- ing aystem of letting out punlic works by con- tract. ‘The State or municipality should bave all one under its own works of a public nature supervision and control. 6 ‘A%, 4 demands the amending of the laws in regard fo the recovery of wages. All suits brought for the recovery of wages should be de- cided within eight days; also that the payment of wages by the month should bo done awny with, and weokly payments to bo universally adoptod.. N . Art, &' doprecates the Liring out of prison Jobor to companies or ingividvals. Prisoners should L.e employed by and for the benefit of the Btate ouly. Art. 6speaks of the adoption by the State of compulsory education of all children between tho ages of soven and fourtecn years, the hiring out of children under fourteen to bo prohibited . yAxt. 7 recommends that all benking, both com- ‘morcial and saving, should be don by the State. ‘Art. 8 denounces all kinds of salars-grabs, and demands that all public officers shall be paida fixed salary instead of foes. Art. 9 troats of tho forming new societies under the new by-laws, ete. As s00n a8 & convenient hall can be had, the Committeo intends holding s mass-meeting of workingmen, and submitting the abovo enumer- atod articles for adoption. AT THE READQUARTELS. The usual crowd of unemployed were stand- ing in front of tho premises on Polk street, waiting for *something to turn up.” When a reporter called thero to seo what was going on, he was mistaken for a member of the Relief So- ciety and at once surrounded by soveral hungry- looking men, women, and childron, who de- manded of him ** Relief Society tickets.” Hein vain asgured'the crowd thot he was not & mem- of the Society, and consoquently had no tickets to give. Thoy still clung to him. At last ho revealed his busivess by telling them he was s “ nowspaper man,” when they sll, a5 1f by com- mon consent, clezred the way for him to loave. CRIME. Joseph Henry was fined $100 by Justice Scully yesterday for snapping a revolver at r. Dennell and Fraok Kingsley, of No. 555 Soumth Canal street, E Silas Veton was examined yestarday by United Btates Commissioner Hoyne, for tlleged fraud under the Bankrupt Iaw, and was held in bail of £5,000. Daaiel McCarthy and John Blackmore were ar- rested yosterday by tie First Precinct detectives, upou suspicion of baving robbed a trunk Lelong- iog to a poraon liviog in New York, Tho trank was thrown _from a Michigan Central Railroad train near Jackson street croseing. Thcy were arraigned before Justice Boyden, who held them for n further heaving. A Mrs. Kelly complained of her hneband John, to Justico Boyden, yesierday morning, alleging that hio bad beaten her. Sho wes lame, and o physician’s certificate sho presented ret forth that her left kneo would always bo stiff. The injuries received by tho woman were too severo to allow of letting the brate off with s tine, g0 he was held to answer at the Criminal Court, and placed under £500 bonds edditional to keep the peace. About 6 o'clock yesterday eveing, as Mr. Samuel Hill, of No. 23 Silver street, was walking on Caunal strect, between Jackeon and Van Buren, he way seized from behind by threo men, thrown down snd choked, while they rified his pockets. The highwaymen obtained only 1 and a gold watch chain, but that such an attack could take placo at such otime and ou sucha frequented street is suficient evidence of the desperute character of some of the ronghs in this city.
