There were no surprises yesterday in the real estate market, but judging from the activity among the brokers some interesting announcements are expected to be made during the week. From all accounts several big projects are under consideration.

Some of the brdkers sav least three large syndicates are being formed, having- for their purpose the purchasing of a block of downtown realty and improving it with a skyscraper. There were some deals closed yesterday but not so many as was expected by the brokers. Several have received "hand" money, but until the deed tarn been passed no announcement will be made of tha, deal. The largest transaction closed yesterday called for a consideration of $19,000. An interesting feature of the deal is the fact that no broker handled the negotiations, but the sale was made direct -from the seller to the buyer.

It was more surprising owing to the fact that the seller lives in New York. He was E. Emergene Lusk, and bv. the deal he deeds to Klizabeth P. Smltlev, 48xl0S feet at' WeJiesiey and Euclid Nineteenth ward.

LTLmJIIaI THEBIGST0RE" I ITALIAN ON TRIAL ACCUSED OF KILLING. lAntonia Grande Pleaded Not Guilty. Prosecution Finished Its Side of Case. Antonio Grande, an Italjan, was placed on trial before Judge James R. Macfar-lane yesterday on the charge of killing Raffaelle Constablle, a fellow countryman, at Port Perry May 18.

Constabiie was shot during a quarrel. Dominick Gutteria, who was with Grande when the shooting took place and who was also indicted, has never been arrested. When arraigned Grande pleaded not g-ullty. The principal witness against him was Frank Constabiie, a brother' of the man who was killed. He said that he and his brother were on thwir way home from a christening when they met Grande and Gutteria.

His brother and Grande, he said, drew knives, but he got his brother away. Grande and Gutteria followed them and Grande fired three shots, one of which struck his brother. Half a dozen witnesses testified to substantially th same story. The prosecution finished at 4:30 o'clock and the case will likely be concluded to-day, as the defense has not many witnesses to call. Instructions hfive been posted on several divisions of tho Pennsylvania, railroad, and will probably be made eirec-" live on the entire system east of Pltts-fcurpr, that the practice of exchange of signals by tho enginemen and firemen, which has long been customary and 13 generally observed by all engine crews, though not strictly enforced, shall hereafter be compulsory.

The order that the engine crew tally on the signals is said to be the direct outcome of the accident at Paoli. when the general manager's car was demolished a few days ago and several persons killed. Never before in eo short a time have so many instructions looking to trie-safer more expeditious operation of trains been issued on the Pennsylvania as since June, 1905. The operating department has been prompt to observe points by which the safety of the trains may be increased and hus lsued orders accordingly, after careful Investigation or ac-Oiients: Ridlng with any careful engine crew, one trtwerves that it the engineman seen the signal flrat he calls out "white," 'green," or 'red'" as the case may be, and this is repeated by the fireman; and vice versa if the signal Is on the left-hand side. The new instructions are that the engine crews shall be scrupulously careful thus to call out the signals and this will be done, except in the obviously impossible case when the fireman is tiring, as he cannot then see signals.

This keeping tally on signals will ensure the recognition of each by the engineman, and will greatly reduce the chances of accident. It will mean nothing new to the majority of the crews, trtio have been observing the practice as long as they have been in service. The order ha not been Issued on the Pittsburg division yet. but if it is made general it will be posted here. Last 'Honors to Prevost.

A laige contingent of leading Pittsburg officers of the Pennsylvania railroad went to Philadelphia last night to De present at the funeral of Sutherland Prevost, late third vice president of the Pennsylvania. The runeral takes place this afternoon at 2 o'clock In St. Mark's church, Philadelphia, and arrangement has been made to allow all vne onicers of the Pennsylvania nae a last look at the dead executive. Many will attend the services from Washington, Baltimore and New York. Among the Pittsburg officers who went were: Robert PitCiUrn, resident assistant to the president; Superintendents long and Morrow and General Agent Jaggard, of the Pennsylvania railroad; First Vice President McCrea and others, of the Pennsylvania lines.

President A. J. Cas-satt, who had gone for a few days' visit with a daughter In Maryland, returned to Philadelphia and will attend the funeral services. The interment is private. Flags were hung at half-mast over the Union station yesterday, and there was much comment on the death of one of the Pennsylvania's ablest executives.

As might have been expected, speculation, is nte as to the official changes that may result from the death of the third vice presJdent. Ila has been in 111 health for so long that all of his duties have fallen to Fifth Vice President Thayer, and doubt is expressed as to whether there will be any changes, at least at present, on account of S. M. Prevost's death. The third vice presidency may be left vacant, or there may be a moving up of the fourth, fifth and sixth vice presidents.

On account of the duties peculiar to each of the vice presidencies and the circumstances under which Mr. Thayer and Mr. Tatnall were made vice presidents, it has long been a matter of supposition as to whether or not an operating man made vice president in case of vacancy will not be advanced over the others. Ueneral Manager XV. W.

Atterbury is logically the next vice president, though he has not been general manager for tne length of time customary betore elevation. Michael Trump is his most likely successor as general manager, but beyond that successions can be only guessed at. Small Roads Hold Cars. The large railroads of the East are still having trouble with small roads which are hjlding the cars of the former. As announced last week, the Baltimore Ohio, Beading and other roads have put an embargo on tneir cars, and the Pennsylvania is likely to follow suit.

The Ohio is experiencing dim-cuity in enforcing this embargo. The charge for the use of cars is 20 cents per day, with a penalty of 80 cents per aay more after a certain period. The email raads find it more profitable to hold me cars of the big systems and use them to supply their own shippers than to buy or iease'ears, hence the partial ineffectiveness of the embargo. -The only resort of the big roads is to cease -giving traffic to the small roads, which leads to a parley and settlement between the executives of the roads. Tracers are being kept busy looking after cars which cannn be found, and are being held by foreign lines, and some general action looking to the raising of penalty charges may follow the trouble that has arisen from this source this fall.

It recurs every time there is a shortage of cars. The demand for bituminous coal In the East is enormous on account of a fear that there will be a strike next year In the antnracite region, and this is one reason for the car shortage. Demurrage charges are being paad by many consignees who have not storage room for ctal delivered to them. P. R.

R. Employes Pensioned. Three veteran employes of the Pennsylvania railroad at Altoona have been retired, having reached the age limit after long and faithful service. William Conrad, a watchman at the machine shops, who has been with the Pennsylvania for 41 years, worked for 21 of these as a machinist, witn th loss of only one day. In he was made a watchman, having suffered an injury in the machine shop.
