RECORD IN REAL ESTATE.
Another Week of Healthy Activity.
The real estate market keeps on in the even
teuor of its way, without any ■ particular
change, and little can be said la regard to it
different from what has already been said.
The demand for good residence and basin*
property continues without diminution. The
property on St. Anthony hill takes the lead
in respect to residence sites, and probably
always will, especially as there
Is now ' a probability of having
wtter up there within a reasonable length of
time. The street car service, it is ■well under
stood, will be extended wherever it is deemed
desirable or necessary, bo that the distance
will not be so much of an objection as it has
been in th ■ past. Dayton's Btuffis also look
ing up as residence property. Of course,
the heavy business houses are coing in
on lower Third, Fourth, ;Sibley and
other street, in that vicinity. The foundations
are going in very rapidly for the immense
new bloc-v of Merriam it Wilder, on the
corner of Fifth and Sibley streets. This, when
completed, will be one of the largest blocks
in the city, and will occupy a
very convenient location for business
purposes. Work has been commenced
in good earnest on the Northern Pa
cific building at the foot of Fourth
street, and a large gang of workmen are con
stantly at work upon it, hurrying it forward
as rapidly as possible. This is as solid a piece
of masonry as there is in this solid city. The
foundations were very expensive, and are as
substantial as the pyramids. They are not
second to even the Gtlflllan block, and that
is saying a good deal. The work of ex
cavating for the First National bank block, on
the corner of Jackson and Fourth streets, is
still progressing. It was a good deal of an
undertaking to attempt to find a foundation
there for it will fee necessary to go very low.
The workmen keep at it though and
are making very good progress.
The foundations for .''ller's
block, on the corner of Seventh and K. Bert
streets are nearly all in. This block will
have over 100 feet front on Seventh street by
100 feet in depth, and will occupy a very com
manding position on that busy thoroughfare.
Mr. Herman Greve is preparing for
the erection of his block on
Fourth street between Jackson and Sibley
streets. This block will have an ornamental
iron front which it is claimed will be the
handsomest in the city. All the blocks on
lower Seventh street that hive been mentioned
heretofore are progressing rapidly, and will
soon be completed and occupied. The archi
tects and real estate men are all
fully occupied, the former in
preparing plans and specifications
for buildings to be erected and the latter in
disposing of real i state. In both lines every
thing is full of activity and bustle, and all in
dications point to an unusually active *um
mer's business. Mr. 11. S. Fairchild reports
the following transactions which have not yet
gone on the record :

THE ENGLISH CHANGE OF BASE.
Succinct Detaiia of the Situation— Views
of tli'-. Lt-Hcltirx.
Boston, May 5. —The Herald cable dispatch
from London says if Parnell and his colleagues
adhere to the tacit agreements unquestionably
made, the government may be considered to
have now a great victory. O'Kelly, Dillon
and Parnell deny having made terms with the
government. The fact is one of the trio
wrote Hualey from Kilmainham, saying, in a
guarded way, what the land league members
would do if let out, in brief, making certain
promises on certain conditions. This
was made still clearer ' by ver
bal promises given Healey by
Parnell in Paris two weeks ago, and the re
lease of Parnell on parole was for the purpose
of giving an opportunity to come to terms.
He.ily Ins beea the pacificator throughout.
The plan wh.s perfected iv Paris betweeu
Healy and Parnell, the former reporting to
members of the cabinet the terms of the land
league. The members at liberty are disposed
to siiek to the letter of the agreement and
give as little a- p-issittle; hence the assurance
that Parnell will place no impediment in the
way of the new arrangement implicating the
design of continuing operations. The whole
league's attitude is hostile as far as the
pledges permit.
Gladstone's parliament must dissolve, and
will fall between the whig* and radicals. The
latter will demand measures which the former
will nut concede. Either way he moves he
will lose enough of his followers to put an
end to his ministry.
Northcote thinks before the new policy has
been practiced many months it will fail as
completely as the other one. No audacity or
change will save the liberal government.
Siiaw reiterat-d to-night his belief that no
dissolution will occur. He says the opposi
tion has no leader worthy of the name, there
fore Gladstone will be able to tide over the
great crisis, not on account of his own ability,
but because of the weakutss of his force.
Paruell says the rent mauifebtowillbe with
drawn, as it is practicably inoperative. As to
other action, he says., he cannpt outline a
di. finite policy uati he knows to what extent
tlir great reform would reach. He did not at
present see any reason for a noteworthy change
of frent, and he is more and more dissatified
with Lord Frederick Ctvandish's appointment.
John Bright admitUd that Cavendish was a
colorless man to a certain extent. He was
appointed partly for that reason. The task
of outlining the Irish policy would chiefly fall
to Lord Spencer. He will be able to guide
Cavendish* between whom and himself there
already is the utmost sympathy. The govern
ment offered the Irirh people the utmost con
cessions, and had every reason to hope that
they will be accepted.
Forster will say nothing beyond the fact
that he declined to accept the slightest re
sponsibility for thechange. He feared there
suit, but hoped for tue sake of his late col
leagues th;it it might succeed. Time alone
will determine which plan was best.
Healy says Smith's bill for, establishing
peasant proprietary was indefinitely postponed
not for the pretended reason of a grave crisis,
but because Smith was afraid the government
would trump his trick by hearing his plan,
rejecting it and adopting a similar one of its
own manufacture.
A Scandalous Sensation. ,
Dallas, Tex., May 6— A scandalous sensation has
ju.=t been revealed. H. A. Moore, editor of the In
dependent, at BerlD, Texas, lives in Ga'.veston. His
wife conducts a millinery business. O.D. Morrison,
well known throughout th» southwest as a city di
rectory publisher, has been occupying a room at
Mrs. Moore's hnuse Sometime last niaht Moore
returned home unexpectedly and found Morrison in
his room. He fired at him, Morrison retained the
shit and ran, followed by Moore who fired three
additional shots . Neither were hart and both were
arrested.
THE ST. PAUL SUNDAY GLOBE, SUNDAY MORNING, MAY 7, 1882
SUMMER SPORTS.
Haciny at Lexington
Lexington, X V., May 6.— Another hard
rain last night placed the track iv a wretched
condition for today's contests. The weather
was showery and warm. Attendance large, a
noticeable feature being the presence of many
ladies. The betting was heavy, particularly
on the second race, w^iich was over from the
start. Hughes had the mount on Vera th«
winner and he stole, a march ou the other
I jockeys by coming from behind on a rush,
und before they were well aware ol the fact
Veda was well on her journey:

Prospects at Louisville.
Louisville, Ky., May 6.— Severe storms
and heavy rains caused a postponement of the
matinee at the Jockey club grounds to-day, it
being put o!I until Thursday next, when the
stabling, grand stand and grounds will be
ready for the great meeting, commencing the
following Tuei-day, May 16f The stables of
Akers, George Lakes and Jacobs from Texas
arrived yesterday. The Dwyers have returned
from Lexington and report ihe quality of the
two 71 hundred odd horses quartered at the
track as superior in class to those to come.
There are two tracks at the Louisville
Jockey club and the character of
the soil renders training a matter of certainty
during the entire sesson, without a chance of
b iug prev< nted by the weather, while even
the outside is in capital order, and all horses
are doing regular work. At least 400 horses
will bj here, making all possible allowance for
the wetdiug out process going at th.- Lexing
ton meeting. The steeple chase continues to
excite the most lively interest. Not only in
Kentucky but in Onio and Indiana excursions
for thefe special days aro being made up,
while special cars are being chartered for
those desirous of being very exclusive. A
perf-ct army of workmen have been busy on
the grounds and improvements. From a dis
tance the ground and common stands are quite
imposing.
lt is no secret that many think that some
dark horse will win the Derby. Never in the
history of this classic event has there been so
mush room for speculation. The lot at
Lexington have failed to give any indication
as to tbe cracks of that section, while large
numbers, already at Louisville in training,
have demonstrated a quality far superior than
anything that has been shown this spring.
The eleven days' meeting, embracing fifty
four races, with $-25,000 added money, will be
the grandest racing carnival known in any
country.
The press generally is much pleased with
the accommodations made for their conveni
ence. Ihe view from the towers is lovely,
and many contemplate viewing the races from
this lofty point.

STORSiS AND SNOWS.
Detailn of th« Heavy Storm in Southern
Illinois— Oili«r Storing.
Chicago, May o.— Additional reports from
the storm in southern Illinois say that a strong
wind, hail, thunder and lightning accompan
ied the heavy rainfall and made the right
one of terror, i'arrn work is stopped in some
sections. Grave fears are entertained at Van
dalia that the Okaw and other streams may
overflow and Hood th? farm bottoms. At
Marshall the creeks have overflowed, their
banks and flooded the farms for the fifth
time this season.
THE STORM IN LOUISVILLE.
Louisville, Ky., May 6.— The storm last
night tore the Chas. Morgan away from her
moorings at the wharf, and blew her up
the river a distance of forty yards, when she
swung around and struck one of Dugan's coal
flats, containing 500 bushels of coal. Three
hundred bushels of coal went into the river
while the remainder was taken off to prevent
the flat from suking. Men are at work this
morning pumping out the flat. The damage
will amount to about $2,000.
OTHER STOKMS.
St. Louis, May 5. — The severest hailstorm
that has visited this section for years passed
over the city this evening, and did damage to
window glass, trees and gardens. Hail ftll
nearly half an hour, and many of the stones
were as large as a full size marble. Thousands
of windows were shattered, and a number of
shade trees stripped of their foliage.
A Pinnsylvania inow Storm.
Lockhaven, Pa., May 6.— A heavy snow
storm is prevailing here.
Pottsville, Pa., May 6. — A heavy snow
storm has prevailed here and through the
coal regions. This morning at Frackville
three inches of snow had fallen, and it is still
snowing. The weather is Very cold and every
thing has the appearance of midwinter.
Unitarian Conference
Cleveland, May 6 —At to-day's session of
the Western Unitarian conference, after de
votional exercises, papers were read by Rev.
G. E. Gordon, of Milwaukee, on associated
charities, and by Prof. G^-o. L. Cary of
Meaoville, on preparation for tne Unitarian
ministry. The committee on educational in
stitutions reported this afternoon. A minis
ters' meeting and the first session of the
women's Unitarian conference was had, at
which an essay on woman's relations to the
liberal church was read by Mrs. Alice Wil
liams Cactherton, of Cincinnati, and one on
what the isolated liberal women of the west
do for the cause, by Miss Sarah H. Brown, of
Lawrence, Kansas.
Seeing much, and suffering much,
and studying much, are the three pillars
of learning.

Ist— TJiat previous to EAGAN'S opening, one year ago, St. Paul's buyers of clothing were compelled
to pay 25 par cent, more for their goods than they have to to-day. t( Of coutse, this -was to dealers of
principle."
2d—That notwithstanding Eagan has forced these high priced clothing "fellers" to drop 25 per cent,,
it is notorious that their tremendous expense does yet, and always will, put it beyond their powt-r to reach
Eagan's bed-rock prices,
3d— That Eagan must have taken some trade 'from those elevated clothing "fellers," which, reason
says, mikes this crowded-house theory they harp on only newspaper talk for a decoy.
4th— That Eagan's platform is now, always has and ever will be— low expense to himself, low prices to
hispalrons, no deception, no delusion, no misrepresentation, but good, hone-it goods and square dealing.
This ensuing week Mr. Eagan offers extraordinary inducements. All his departments have been

"UNCLE TOM'S CABIN."
How It Came to be Writteit.
Two miles distant from this village,
over among a g roup of hills through
which used to -wind the celebrated Crab
Orchard pike of half a century ago,
stands a fine old red-brick mansion fac
ing south and commanding a view of
miles upon miles of wave-like hills and
valleys. Fifty years ago it was the plan
tation of Gen. Thomas Kennedy, a Vir
ginian, who fought at King's mountain
with Marion and came to Kentucky
about 1780 to wrest the garden of the
central portion of the State from the In
dians. The old red-brick house and the
ground all about it have lately become
famous as being the original scene in
Mrs. Stowe's novel of "Uncle Tom's
Cabin." Gen. Kennedy owned 7,000
acres of land, 150 slaves, and was en
ormously wealthy for those days. He
was a man of wonderful character and
determination, a Black Douglass in the
Garrard hills. He was a tall, athletic
and hale man, with the erect carriage of
an Indian and the mien of a, commander.
He was, in the main, a man of fair im
pulse and royal generosity when calm ;
but, when angered, he was insatiably
cruel to his slaves. Gen. Kennedy died
in 1836, and left the bulk of his prop
erty to his son Thomas, then about 120
years old. In three years the young
man had run through more
than a great fortune, and was
dead at the very outset of his career.
Among the slaves left in his estates was
an intelligent, high-strung octoroon boy,
named Lewis Clarke, who had been
granted comparative freedom, in being
allowed to travel about with an open
pass, trading, weaving and occupying
himself as he pleased, paying his master
-a certain sum every month. When the
estate came to be settled, it was discov
ered that some of the slaves must be
sold, and an execution was issued
against Lewis among the others. The
rumor got out — and at that day the ru
mor was a dreadful one among slaves —
that they were to be " sold down
South." On the first night of the Sep
tember court in 1841, Lewis Clarko
mounted his pony and struck for liberty.
He rode away and over the hiiis to
Ohio and to Canada. Then he went to
Cambridge, Mass., lived for seven years
with A. H. Safford, a brother-in-law of
Mrs. Harriet Beecher Stowe. Mrs.
Stowe visited her relatives every sum
mer, and took a deep interest in Lewis
Clarke, his experience and his narrative
of incidents, pathetic, humorous and
terrible, of slave life, and the horrors
which the system made possible, and
which were, in localities, frequent from
brutal and irresponsible masters.
From Lewis Clarke's own lips I gath
ered the story of how Mrs. Stowe came
to write "Uncle Tom's Cabin." Dr.
Bailey, who published the Philanthro
pist in Cincinnati, had been persuaded
to move to Washington city about 1848
or 1850, where he established an eman
cipationist organ, the National Era.
He thought if he could get some woman
of literary reputation and ability to
write a series of articles for his paper
every week on the subject of slavery
and its violation of the finest senti
ments, that it wonld revive public^ in
terest and carry his paper to people it
had never reached. before. The names
of Mrs. Lydia M. Child and others were
proposed, but not accepted. Lewis
Tappan, who was one of the counselors,
finally said he knew of one woman who
could do the work successfully, that she
was poor and must be paid for it, but
that she would succeed. He then men
tioned Mrs. Stowe, and advised Dr.
Bailey to write to her, and, by way of
earnest, inclose hey a draft for §100.
The letter was written and the draft
sent. The next week there appeared in
the columns of the National Era, not
the first of a series of articles on shivery,
but the first chapters of a story called
" Uncle Tom's Cabin." The circulation
of the National Era increased at once,
and soon became very large. Mrs.
Stowe was poor and earning her money
so laboriously that, for fear the great
novel would be cut short, she was sent
an additional draft for §300. Then she
copyrighted the story, which in b >ok
form has made her a fortune, and be
come more famous than any novel ever
issued from a printing press. — Lowell
