ALAMEDA, Sept. 14.—Another death took place at Melrose last evening, which is regarded by the relatives of deceased as having been due to the effects of the recent powder explosion at Melrose. It was that of Mrs. Elizabeth Stévenson, mother of Smnle‘/ Stevenson of this city. One of her sons lives with his family at Melrose, and his house was badly dam- aged by the exploslon. Mrs. Stevenson was visiting in Alameda when the explo- slon loccurred, and as soon as she heard it she was {mpressed with the idea that her son and his (nm(lg had been killed or seriously Injured. This so preyed upon her mind that, although the truth was soon communicated to her, she did not recover ‘from the-- shock -of fear, and passed away last evening. She was aged i3 years, and her funeral will take place Friday. ' Interment will be at Mountain View. A Collector Disappears. ALAMEDA, Sept. 14.—Arthur L.

' RESULT OF THE TAX LEVY BROKERS. FEAR THAT IT WILL RETABRD PROGRESS. A Review of the Records, Recent Sales, New Building Contracts and General Realty Notes. Real estate showed little tendency to- ward improvement during the past week. The explanation advanced by the various | brokers for the deplorable want of activ- ity is that there have been too many holi- days crowded into the week. Although there was practically no ad- | vancement made, the market still maln- tains an even course; and the indicated prosperity which began to mature at the close of the summer months still con- tinues to manifest itself. Considerable adverse comment is being indulged in against the proposed increased tax rate of $2 on a $100 valuation. Brokers are of the opinion that such a burden im- posed upon property-holders will have a marked tendency to undo the present en- couraging condition of the market by pre- clpitating it into that state of stagnation which characterized the ‘“World of Real- ty” for nearly a year. Although no imme- dlate evil effect would be felt by the adop- tion of this system of taxation it would undoubtedly work a gradual change for the worse and undo what little prosperity is now existent in real estate. According to Umbsen's Rea! Estate Record there was decidedly more prosperity in real estate during the month of August than that telt for the preceding thirty days. The follow- ing passage taken from the record Indicates the advencement made: ‘‘August made a bet- ter showing than the preceding month, when the number of sales was 152. The chief im- provement has been in the 50-vara and the Western Addition districts. Almost all of the resent demand is in those two sections. The Pest class of income producing property Is al- ways considered most desirabie when there is an absence of speculation {rom the market, and this feature is very noticeable just now. Buy- ers gre, however, extremely conservative in the values which they place on this kind of ture. For their own residences in the more fashionable parts of the town, they are, how- ever, more disposed to meet the views of the holders.” REVIEW OF THE RECORDS. During the week there were Aty mort- gages and trust deeds recorded, amounting to §155,435. For the same perlod forty-five re- lenses and reconveyances passed to record in the total sum of $146,322.
