@ THE CHICAGO 'TRISUNE: SUNDAY, MARCH. 3, 1878—SIXTEEN - PAGES. REAL ESTATE. The Contest Between State Street and Wabash Avenue. The Concentration of Different Trades in Special Lo- calities. Firmness of Store Bents in the Busi- negs Centre of the City. Prospects of Duwelling-House Rents--- New Building Enterprises. Satisfactory Payments in the Lioan IMarket---Sales of the Week. Rents were the main objects of negotiation {n real-estate quarters during the week. There were more actual transactions in store rents than in dwellings. but in both the prospects of a satisfactory business for agents, and satisfac- tory terms for tenants, are good. The inquiry for stores in the ceatral part of the city is active. A pew and promising feature is the demand from Eastern partics for premises for manufactur- ing purposes. There is a decided movement of the manufacturers of fancy goods aud similar articles tothis point. Tn the shifting of busi- gmess quarters each epring the tendencics of various trades TO LOCALIZE AND CONCENTRATE ‘become more apparent. The dry goods, boots and shoes, hats, and related houses have evi- dently found a permanent centre in the peizh- borhood of Monroe and Franklin streets. The recent removal of M. Selz & Co. from Madison strect to Monroe strengthens this tendency. Lake street is becoming a street of iron and hardware dealers, although the strect is too Jarze or the firms are too few to make it as yet a market for those goods exclusively. THE GROCERY LOCALITY in the neighborhood of Lake street and Michi- gan and Wabash avenucs promises to be per- mancnt, and that part of the city taking in South Water street appears destined to become the point of supply for articles of food. The retail tendencies of State street and Wabash avenue above Madison street are becoming more pronounced. A vizorous effort is to be made to realize the hopes and espirations of Wabask avenue property-owners these mauy years, that that strect might become A GREAT RETAIL THOROUGHFARE. Whether these efforts prevail, the publie will decide. Several new building enterprises, noted below, are in train on Wabash avenue, and rents there, as we have shown, have stifiened consid- erably. Nearly every business man who ap- plies to an agent for quarters wants to get a 2 storcon the west siGe of State street, between Washingten and Monroe streets. On this ac- count rents in _that place bave been firm, and have advanced. The diversity of views isehown by the fact that some teuants now insist upon ‘being accommodated on Wabash avenue, and refuse to listen to proposals from State street. Vergho, Rubling & Co., the toy dealers and mauutacturers, have resewed the lease of their double store on State street 21315000 a year. Their rent previously has been §11,500. J. C. Sampson & To. have leased a twenty-foot store on Madison strect, near La- Salle, for $1,800 a year. The two stores on the main floor of the new Athenwmumn Building, on Dearborn street, have been rentea to Richard- son, Boynton & Co. for §3,000 a year. The Davis Sewing Machine Comvany have secured the store on the northwest corner of Quiney and State streets for $3,000 a year for two years. The Scoville Manufacturing Company ~have Jeased a four-story and bascment building on Lake street, near Fifth avenue, for $1,500 a year. C. B. McCormick & Co. have rentea the build- ing 122 State street, now occupied by Fairbank & Co., for $12,000 & year. The Builock Bros. have taken a lease of the store near their pres- ent_quarters now occupica by Chapin as a candy store. TOTSE RENTS. In bouse rents transactions have not been pumerous, but negotiations are active. The demand for dwellings held at $35t0850a month is keen, and these rents will remain_steady. -Houses renting at $1,200 and upwards are a drug in the market. Many persons living in such residences arc abandoning them for some- ting thieaper, aud the probabiity is that tho reduction in rents of these high-priced tene- ments will be considerable. The tlree vew houses built by Daniel Wells, Jr., on Harrison street, near Michigan avenue, have been rented for $3,200 a year. BUILDING NOTES. A. W. Fullerton is about to crect a four-story and basement brick store. on Wabash _avenue, south of the Williams Building, and Mr. Wal- lace, owner of the two Jots south of the Fuller- ton property, is bplanning to improve his land. Mr. Williams has completed his foundations, and now holds his plans subject to such dispo- sition as he mav make of the property. 1f a good tenant offers himeelfl and desires to modi- 1y the ylans to suit his business, that will be conceded, or the property will be sold outright to any firm that would prefer to finish it. THE WILLIAMS BUILDING and the new structure proposed for the three Jots zo the south will add a great @eal to the attractiveness of Wabash avenue, and increase its chances in its contest with State street for the control of the retail trade. There are some other building enterprises projected mot yet ready to mention. - Michigan uvenuc property below Twelfth strect is attracting attention. In addition to the handsome house now being crected by Sexton, the contractor, between Van Buren and Congress strects, Daniel Wells, Jr.will build three handsome stone-front houses oon Michigan avenue, at the corner of Harrison street. Edward Heaton is to build a four-story and basement store, stone front, on Madi street, at the head of Laflin. The frontage will <be twenty-five feet, and the cost about S7,000. LAST WEER'S PERMIT: Duriog the week past the Building Depart- ment issued forty permits covering the erection of forty-six buildings. Followingarethe largest permits: AL M. Aspinwall, two-story stone- front dwelling at 529 North La Salle strect, to cost $3,500; J. B. Wilson, one- story dwellinz at 52¢ West Twelfth strect, to cost $2000: C. W.

Dauring the month of February the Building Department issued permits for €ixty new build- incs, forty-seven slieds, and thirty-four alter: tionsof old buildings. The_ cost of the ne buildings was $212.500: of additions and shed: $60,500: total, $212.000; total for February, 1877, £323.150. The estimated cost of bufldings crecied since Jan. 11 $405.200: during the same two months of 1577, §315,500. The total feet of frontaze of the mew buildings last month was 1,416; for January and Feornary, 2281, The permits for February was for cight brick and twelve stone-front buiiding: oue store, sixteen stores and dwellings, thirty- {:‘a’l?n S\:lvm.llmgs, two manufactorivs, and eight Theto stiil SRR LOAY e AsnEEr continues to be a largs i in the amount of loans as compar;':fldj\:"l;?):mr:gc‘i vious years. It is true, the fizures of the past month loom uv Jargely, but this §5 accounted for by the re-record of 2 mortgare given by the Chicazo & Northwestern Railway Company in the year 1872 to secure consolidated gold bonds amounting to $48,000,000, interest at 7 per ceat, payable Dec. 1, 1902~ This re-record is o account of a stipulation in the original docus ment that any property thereafter acquired by the Company should be considered part of the security. The R;nwag* Company has lazely come_into possession of the LaCrosre, Trempe- Jeau & Prescott Road, which accounts for the reappearance of the mortgace. Deducting the railroad mortzages of the year 1878, the total local business for January and Febriiry foots up §25,00,000 or thereabouts,—nearly $1,000,000 Jess than in 1577, and $2,700,000 less than in 1576. From these firures, it is plain that there isa “falline-off in the relative rate of decreasein busioess, but the vpward movement has not et struck the market. On the other hand, p: ments have not been better for three years than they are 2t present. In this respect, Chicago shows a balance on the right side of the ledger. ‘This §5 not only the tesimony of the records, but of our heaviest loan-tzents, who have but few complaints to make.

ML Marshall had the singular good for- tune to recover last week a desk lost by him at the tumeof the Great Fire. It was mislaid among some of Mr. Pinkerton’s things, and lay unnoticed in a store-room until yesterday. Be- side sowme yaluable private papers, the desk con- tained seventy real-cstate abstracts, some of them dating as far back as1863. Among the other contents was a copy of thelast number of the eat Estate and Budding Journal issued before the fire, dated Oct. 7, 1571, It contatns an en- thusiastic description of the ‘‘magnificence and grandeur of Riverside,” and an extract from a Chicago letter to the Springifield Jepublican, which says: **I have been waiting several years to scea collapse in real-cstate speculation “here, but it does not ome. Sometimes the fever is Iugher than av others. Now it will rage in one suburb, and now in another, and now at the centre. But somewhere prices are always boil- ing, and nowhere does there seem to be o real decline. Every other man and every iourth womun has a speculative investment in lots. To double one’s mouey ina year or two is a common oceurrence.” RENTS IN NEW YORK. ‘With rezard to house rents the New York Herajd says: People who rented a $4,000 house last ye offer £2,000 and thnk. they will et it: ‘bt they are mistaken as well as the landlord who insists upon making only & slight concession. There are any number_ of houses to let, and but very few takers at last year's prices. In fact, people cannot pay the rents of lust year und of the previous years, They do not make the profits, and hence insist upon a curtailment of expenses. Business rents are very weak, The Herald says: Compared with last sear all the rents even in the dry goods district of Worth, Thomss, Franklin, Leonard, Ciurch, and White 'streets, are from 10 1015 per cent ofl: What 19, however, equally re- markable along with the steady decline of ronts, 80 far as it covers the whole district, a peculiar characterstic of this year's moving 1s the fact that specialties in certain lines of the dry-goods trade crowd one anotber in particular localities more than_ever. In nll the streets below Chambers btreet rents are lower, with the exception of Bar- clay street, which has ‘become a creat centre for Catholic_publications and varfous other book houscs, all of which tends to keep up rents. Al the streets from Chambers to Barclay presents stores to-day for whicha rental 15 to 20 per cent lower than last vear s being paid. Tle numerous failures of the paet #ix months have bad 2 depress- ing effect upon the rent market in that scction of the city. —_—— THE CHICAGO POST-OFFICE, To the Editor of The Tribune. Crieao, March 1. —While you are on the ** Post- Office_Qucstion ™ T would fike to ask why i necessary to have the collection of letters from al the boxes in the business scction of fhe city as carly 28 3:40 p. m, for the Eustern mails, when the tramsdo not_leave until 5:15,—nearly two hours Jater. If the colfection at tuc Board of $ 1,060 5,750 Trade boxes could be even half an hour later, it would be a very great convenience to all CouuIssIoN MERCHANTS. A reporter called at the Post-Office and in- quired as to the facts. AMr. John M. Hubbard, Superintendent of Carriers, explained the mat- terina very few words. ‘ The mail,” said Mr. Hubbard, *1s made up at 4 o'clock, and it takes the odd twenty minutes for the collectors to get in with the mail matter. People forget that every letter bas to be distributed, that the stamps have to be, canceled, the mail sorted, Dagslocked up and convered to the train all with- inan hour. In conveying mail matter to the Fort Warne depot an allowance has to be made for swung bridzes, and, in short, you can say that ir there was any possible means whereby titizers could be given evea so much ps five minutes mere in which to finish up their mail, this oilice would have found out that means lon¥ azo.

SHOOTING A TIGER. Rochester Democrat. Prof. Henry A. Ward, the geologist and naturalist of the University, has, since the early part of last fall, been in receipt of several ju- teresting letters from William T. Hornaday, his agent, who fis mow collecting specimens in Southern India. Appended will be found a por- tion-of one of the first: . CaMp 1§ THE FOREST, ANNDIALLAY IILes, SoutnerN INDIA, Sept. 1, 1877.—~DEan Pror. Warp: Iam sorry that I eannot report an ele- phant slain, but still I have not given up. During tue first balf of last wouth I bhunted constantly for them, rain or shive,—and it as nearly always rain. Inelevendavs’ hunting for elephants I got two fair shots, fired exactly as I had been told, and both times I was aston- ished to see my victims (?) zo off with the herd. 1 had good shots, but my gun failed to Kitl, and that discouraged me someywhat, for I had done my best. Then Theobald wrote: “Hold on, and in two weeks I will be with you, and I give youmy promise that we will bag one, sure.” AndsoI concluded tohald on, give tne ecle- phantsa rest, and hunt smaller game for the two weeks. While huuting clephants we haa no chance to shoot smalier game, save enough deer to eat, as all our time and attention wa oceupied by the elephant bunting, which, by the way, was very laborious indeed, and taxed every encrgy to the utmost, At fast I have the pleasure to inform you that I have killed a splendid tiger, as you dirccred some months ago. I bazzed this one within a mile of my hut, and directly between me and, the settlement. - He was evidently tryine to' cut off my retreat. The best of all is that T did it with my little Maynard rifle, with two shots. It was last Monday, while T was out, with two men and a boy trying to kill a deer, ast] we were out of meat. ‘I had my rifle, and the boy carricd a shot-zun, loaded with No. 5 shot. 8o you see we didn’t have a very heavy battery, as ‘all old Indian hunters do. of “two-grooveéd Purdy, No. 12, and Wesley Richards, No. 12, doubie rifle, ete.” But to continue: We came upon the tracks of a huge tiger in the sandy bed of a little mnarrow creck, where the old fellow had been moving down the stream, walking sometimes in the water anil sometimes out. The tracks were just about ae_big around asa saucer, Ithink, and they looked appall- ing. Themen (natives, of coursc) asked me it I would dare to shoot at a tier with that small rifleif we saw one. 1 replied, * Yes, of course,’ for I was determined not to s: No,” esp Iy as I thought there was no likelihood of our ever seeinz a tiger. Well, we went on down the little stream, when suddenly the man in ad- vance of me(the shikaree) grasped my arm awfully hard and pointed through a elump of bamboos, behind which we were standing. Great Cresar! There in the bed of the creek, thirty yards away, standing broadside, was old Stripes in all his glory. It was a beautiful, clear day, and “if ‘he didn’t look gorgeous’ Iuever saw anythine that did. He seemed as big asan ox. “Well, I nad my plan all studicd out long, long ago, as to how L could kill a tiger with my little rifle, so 1 knew just what I wanted to try to do. 1 wai ed about half a minute, until the beast looked full in my direction, and then blazed away, aim- ing for the eve. Then 1 reloaded in an” awful hurry. When I looked again it was in the same spot, turning slowly round and round in its tracks. When he came around just rizht, I fired at his neck, aiming to hit the soinal cord, and at that shot he instantly fell. Reloading, L went cautiously toward him—ror my two men and boy haa not_bolted, as 1 supposed they would—and stood up on the bank, watching his last agonies. He was bhit very hard—couldn’t have “been hit harder—and” in three min- utes he was stone dead. My first shot had bit bim exactly in the left eye, aud the second had brokenhis neck in a most zratify- ing way. But wasn't he an old rouser! He measured nine feet ecight and o half inches, as he lay, and his welght was 495 pounds by the scales. 'The largest tigers do no not ex- ceed ten feet by more than four to six inches, and the average is cieht fect four inches; 50 you see this one is first-class. People may call e a fool for shooting at him' on foot, with such a small, single-barreled rifle and notbing to back it up, but you see I had him just exactlyas I wanted him, and I knew what the rifle could do. The first was the prettiest shot I ever made, considering everything—and just when it Was most necessary, too. The beast was just thirty yards from where I was standing when Lshot.” Lhave always advocated small rifles and accurate shooting rather than such big, thundering guns. For instance, Col. Beddome, also on foot, shot a tizer up here from a disfance of twenty vards with a No. 12 double rifie and hardened balls, but it took ten shots to kill his tiger, and the skin was a sight to sce. I'm having a hard fight for it with the weath- er, but I'm going to send you the finest tiger- skin you eversaw. It has rained cver sinee the hide ‘was hung out to dry, and 1 have had to watch over it as if it werea sick child: but alum and ealt will win the day. It is safe now, though I have to keepit banging inside my hut. Tam determined to save it if I kave to take it to bed with me. AN OLD-TIME DUEL. Pultaceiphta Times. Tt is a notatle fact, however, that the most determined @uel of which I have any record was fought in New York State and very near the metropolis of that name. - 'I'he meeting was be- tween De Witt Clinton and John Swartwout, in 1802. It appears probable that if the dispute in which thisl:innl ur‘;ginuted had taken its natural course the most famous duel in any history— that between Hamilton and Burr—would bave been omitted. Clinton and Burr bad o verv flerce and. truculent political dispute, which finally becsme personal. Before it had fairly come to an issue John Swartwout becameinvolv- edin It, taking Burr's place. Hechatlenged Glin- ton, who accepted. On the ficld Clinton re- marked “that he wished he had the principal (Burr) before him.” [fhis wish had been Zratified thereis little douby that his fatal precision of shot would have put Burr where he could ot have killed Hamilton threc years later. Alr. Swartwout insisted that he should bave fm apology, aud prepared one that he insisted Mr. Clinton should siry. Mr. Clinton, of course, declined, and the parties went to the ficld. The duel was such a rewmarkable one that I preseat an account given of it by Mr. N. 8. Smith, who was Swartwout’s second. He says: The gentle- wmen took positions and fired without effect. At Ar. Riker's request I asked Mr. Swartwout if he was satisfied. Heanswering in the negative, the sccond shot was sired without effect. [ again asked Mr. Swartwout if ne was satistied. He re- plied, * Tam not,” ana the thivd shot was ex- changed without injury. I then asked Mr. Swartwout, *Are vou satisticd, sir?” He re- plied, “Tum not, néither shall I be until the apology is made which I bave demanded. Until then we must proeeed.” I then oresented a paper to Mr. Riker for Mr. Clinton’s sicuature, containing the apology demnded, obscrving that this paper must be sigued or we would vroceed. Mr. Clintion declared that he would ign no paver on the subject, that he had no animosity to Mr. Swartwout and would willing~ 1y sh: hands and agrec to meet on the score of former Iriendship.

In a lengthy correspondence that has lately been published in one of the Russian papers respecting recent exploration in Siberia, a curl- ous incident is related by one of the travelers. Happening to drive in a sledge along the base of one of the moustrous ice-cliffs that overhang the estuary of the Kiver Lena, he came upon a pack of wolves devouring the frozen flesh of a mammoth. The latter must have been in an almost perfect state of precervation when first exposed by the breaking away of the cliff, as the snow was littered with frazments of skin, to which in some instances small picces of flesh still adhered. Considering that countless ages have rolled by since animals of the mammoth speies could possibly have cxisted in Siberia, there seems small doubt of the frozen flesh in question (if it were really what it was allezed to be) being the oidest preserved meat in the world. If the story is as true in its details as the traveler = would have us belicve it to be, his supposition that otier mammoths arc imbedded there in an cqually ood state of preservation may turn out to be correct, and we may yet live to see the gourmands of Paris in- dulging their appetite with filet de mammouth warranted * fresh from Siberia,” after havine been stowed away in nature’s ice-cellar for a few score thousand years. S littie has been explor- ed of theice-beds of Polar Siberia that, for aught we know to the contrary, 2 grain of truth may exist in the opinion of the same enthusias- tic discuverer that * accumulations of antedi- luviar animals frozen alive during the eudden transi.ion of the climate of Siberia from cqua- torial weat to arctie cold lie imbedded in the ice strata of the North Siberian coast.” Until, however, some of the meat bas been sent to Europe and has been pronounced genuive by Prof. Owen, or some other eminent authority, we must be permitted to place the discovery of “ meat mines ¥ in the same category as_that to which people usuatly assign the stories that have made Baron Munchausen’s name immortal. MISS FLAHERTY AND HOER RAT. Burlinaton (Vt.) Correspondence Bosion Glode. For the past two or three weeks a family by the uame of Flaherty have noticed that the young daughter, 7 years old, has each day stolen into the back yard with pieces of bread, meat, aud whatever she could lay her hands on in the shape of food. - When questioned she invariably answered that she fed her kitty wita the food. otlung was thought of this, the mother sup- posiug that_her child had made a pet of some stray cat. But on Monday the action of the lit- tle girl was folly explained. About the middie of the afternoon she went out with her accus- tomed suppiy of food, but shortly returned with an enormous rat in her arms. The parents of the child were both absent, an 18-year-old daughter and an 1l-year-old son only being at home. Like most younz ladies of the present day, the sister lost all control of herself, and, jumping upon the table, cominenced a series of hysterical cries. The brother mrasped his young sister, who at this time had dropped lier pet, threw lier upon the bed, and then went for the rat. He inaugurated the contest by trying to kick the rat to death. But the animal showed fight, and was much too active for the boy, erasping him by the pants a number of times, but fortunately not being able to fusten bis teeth into the Iegs of the boy. Fi- nally a poker was secured, and 2 well-directed Dblow stunned the rat.. It was but the work of a few minutes to hunt up the family cat; but when brought into the room the rat had re- gained his wonted vizor, and stood in a corner at bay. Nothine could induce the cat to make an attack, notwithstanding she was repcatedly thrown upon his ratship, and the,boy found it necessary to finish the rat with the poker. Miss Flaherty and her brother state that the rat made a” hissing noise when attacked, something like a snake. QuIPS.
