Also, one from Matthias Schwabe. to de liver to the borough, free of expense, in any part of town, crushed stone at 90 cents a ton, or in the rough, to bo crush ed by tho borough, at 60 cents a ton. After the matter of purchasing was dis cussed at some length it was decided to advertise for bids to furnish stone. The street committee was instructed to pre pare specifications as to the quantity needed. A resolution was passed that on all streets south of South street pavements, curbs and ditches be laid within sixty days, and that the street commissioner have notices served on the owners of such properties as have failed to comply with tho law; if not done at tho expira tion of sixty-days that tho work be done by the borough at tho expense of the property owners, with 20 per cent addi tional.

From the Wilkcsburro Newsdealer. An interesting case involving the rights of tenants and landlords was heard by Alderman Donahue Monday. John Lancashire is a tenant living in a bouse of Louis Smullyan. this city. On Tanuary 2 last Lancashire moved into tho house and by the provisions of the lease he was to pay $0 a month. He paid his rent February 1 and March I, after which thorn was no rent due until April 2. On March 20, however, the landlord sent Constable Evans with i distrained warrant to collect the amount of rent for the month of March. The constable compelled Lancashire to pay tho money, together with tho costs, amounting in ail to $7. Lancashire consulted his attorney, John T. Lenahan, and tho result was tiiat lie brought suit against Smullyan for SIOO damages. At tho hearing the landlord stated, byway of defense, thai be was ignorant of tho law and was if raid that if his tenant moved April 1 he could not collect Ids rent. Squire Donohuo told Mr. Smullyan lie had made a mistake; that a landlord in Pennsylvania lias such extraordinary powers with tenants that they must be very careful how they proceed to collect rent. If they make a mistake, said the squire, as in this case, they must pay for it. He therefore entered judgment in plaintiff's favor for the amount claim ed, SIOO. Tendered u Farewell Party.
