A ouv wheie husband and wife can bo tenants In common was Instanced jesteiday In an opinion fiom Judge H. M. Iklw.uds, In tin paitltion ptoceod ings of Mai lo. Katheiino Kolb und John Gottleib Kolb. hoi husband, against Daniel liiennainun The paitlcs to tho case weio ngroe ablo to the paititlon, but Judge El waids was somewhat In doubt as to whether ot not tho putitlon could be legal! made, and took tho matter up foi Investigation. AVheie a husband and wife hold an undivided half inteiest each in a piop 01 ty, thej hold it in entirety, and as was decided in the Whitiock case, from Scotl township, they could not make paitltion In the rnesent case, however, a peculiar 1 iicumstaneu takes It out of the contiol of this decision. The lot In question Is on Remington avenue and is 40x100 feet in dimensions. Kolb puiihased the lot fiom the Paw nee Goal company, rebiuarv 12, 1874. December I, IS7-J. Kolb and wife, by deed, eonvejed an undivided one-half inteiest in tho lot to John Appert, and on the same da, Appeit conveyed the said undivided one-half inteiest to Mis. Kolb individually. By this airange inent an undivided one-half was left In the husband and the same in the wife. The husband's one-half inteiest was sold at shoilffs sale, June 30, 1S92, to H. M. Hannah, and on December 7, JSH3, the Hannah inteiest was sold at sheriff's sale to Bieiinainan.the defend ant in the piesent case. Judge Cdwaids tlnds that "tho estate as vested 111 the husband and wife, De cember 1 1874, was not an estate in entliety, but was an estate held by tenants in common, and thoiefoie sub ject to paitltion." The husband, Kolb nnd Appeit weie tenants 111 common, and when the wife succeeded to Appert's half, she became a tenant in common with her husband. Be-enteied Upon Coal Lands. I. H.

Tho Judgment In ejectment, which thej had Mr. Bums file yesteiday, was the flist step In these ptoceedlngs. Proceedings Stayed. In the case of Gtlliln against Smith, an older was made yesteiday, by Judge H. M. Hdwaids, that all pto ceedlngs on the Giltlln judgment be stayed until further oider of court.

" NEW COAL ROAD IS DEFEATED SALE OF PENNSYLVANIA COM PANY VIRTUALLY ADMITTED. Statement That Amounts Practically to an Admission of the TrHith of the Transfer Stoiy Comes from Vice President Thome, of the Pennsylvania Company New York Dispatch, Which Bears Evi dences of Being Inspired, Attempts to Make E. L. Fuller a Scapegoat. Tho Independent load to tidewater, piojeotcd by the Pennsylvania Coal company and B. L, Fuller for the re lief of the Individual opciatois, Is as good as doomed, and the duy of tho in dividual operator In tho Lackawanna legion la closed. What piactlcally amounts to an ad mission of the truth of the story that tho Bile Is to have contiol of the Pennsylvania Coal company was made jesterduy, in New York, by First Vice President W. V. S. Thoine, of the Pennsylvania company. To an Inter viewer ho said: "The negotiations for the stile of the stock of tho Pennsylvania Goal corn pans have not been consummated. Theie will be nothing to give out on th subject today." The Dally Philadelphia Stockholder, In Its Wall stieet letter, yesteiday, said that an Important announcement concerning the antluaclto stocks would bo foi thcomlng toinonow. The closing quotation In Pennsylva nia stock, Monday, was oOO bid. The next day it wus 600 bid, while on the curb it was tilfi bid, 645 asked, Fiom soutces that ure considered re liable It is leal ned that the Erie is not to be the sole beneficial y of the Pennsylvania compan's transfertal. The output of ti.e Pennsylvania col lletles is to be shaiod In by the On tario and Western and Delaware and Hudson companies The allotment of collleiles will bo governed in a gieat nieasuie by the matter of convenience. At piesent all of the eleven bieukeis aie on the line of the Bile and Wyom ing, which connects with the Krle, so It is piesumed tne Btie will have the lion's share. This matter, however, is Incidental as compared to the main purpose of the deal, the defeat of the independent road to tidewatei. BLAME FULLER. Now Yoik dispatches which weie evidently insphed lays the blame for the defeat of the new road project upon E. L. Fuller. The action of Mr. Fuller in selling to the Ontario and Western, the Mt. Pleasant collierj, Is the excuse for making him a seape goat. At a distance this mlgtit seem to be a Just accusation, but to those acquainted with the facts in the case, It is the eiiest bosh The Mt. Pleas ant Is so situated that it could not be made a contributor to the tiallle of the new road without building a long round-about and consequently expen sive tallroud to connect It with the Brie and Wyoming. If the whole truth could be made public: It is likely that it would be admitted that no one ever expected the Mt. Pleasant to be a contributor to the Independent road. The fact that Mr. Fuller's other collleiles, such as were In the territory to be tapped by the new load, weie letained by Mr. Fuller to become a pait of the trlbu tailes to the new load, removes the foundation fiom the charge thut "Mr. Fullei Bucked Out." Mr. Fuller left for New Yoik yestei-' day befoie the allegation that he had "backed out" appealed in the public pi hits. In regai d to the lepoited Eiie Pennsjlvania deal, Mr. Fuller said he had no official Information. In manner lather than woids he Indicated that he did not doubt it. He was about to go to New Yoik, he said, and hoped by toniouovv to know all about the affair. THltOOP COLLIERY SOLD. The leported sale ol the Pancoast colliery at Tluoop to the Ontario and Western people, announced In Tins Ttlbune as likely, thiee weeks ago, and biiefly mentioned In an unofllciul way yesterday, is combined. Supeiin tendent Bryden, of the Scianton r company, one of the blanches ot me Ontario and Western's coul depait ment, will have supervision of the newly acquired propetty. This makes fifteen collieries the Ontaiio and West ern now controls. The Pancoast com pany was capitalized at $200,000. To Enjoy Spiing Under Southern Skies.
