SCARCITY OF HOUSES.
what the Real Estate Agents Say
"A Demand for $40 and SI2
Houses.

Houses.
Learning that the houses in this city
are being rented very rapidly, a repor-
ter of the REPUBLICAN visited the real
estate agents of this city this morning
in order to ascertain their views. J. T.
Heald says there is more inquiry for
property than there has been for years;
sales are more easily made, at about
last years prices or little in advance,
and the probable belief of all classes is
that property will soon advance in
price, as it costs about Is per cent.more
now to construct building and it is
therefore fair to presume that the rate
will rise aboat Is per cent. Houses
that rent from $40 to $l5 per month that
are tenantable are becoming exceeding
y scarce and are likely to be so.-
Houses renting from $l5 to $25 are al
ready moderately scarce; and houses
renting above $2j per month are more
plentiful.
Samuel C1lbsrt, whose off ice is 500
Saipley street, states there is large
demand for small houses, ranging in
price from So to $l4 per month. Houses
renting from 5l5 to $40 par month do
not rent so well, while the $40 and $25
houses are very plentiful. Mr.. Culbert
has made several sales, of houses vary
ing in price from 81, 200 to 81, 900.
Thomas R.Lally at 602R Marketstreet
has made several sales within the past
two weeks. He has sold four two-story
brick houses, and several building lots
at fair price. He sold farm in
Christiana Hundred of 73 acres, the
aggregate price being $4,927. The
price in real estate is better, aud he is of
the opinion that there will be an ad-
vance in the price in the summer. The
houses for rent are in demand, partic-
ularly houses renting for $S to $l2 per
month. Houses renting from SIS to $40
per month are not much in demand,
though the renting of them this year is
better than last.
AT Evans Pennington's offl3a No. 5
East Eighth street we were informed
that there was large dsmand for rent
ed houses.
George R. Townsend at GIG Market
street reports scarcity of houses for
rent in the eastern section of the city.
He is of the opinion that they bring
better prices on the east side than on
the West.
A young man in D. +. Hawkins Of
fee informed us that all his houses
were rented. Could rent 80 mora if they
had them. Some Of the houses had ad-
vanced 10 per cent. in the rent.
From the above it will be seen that
the rents are advancing, and unless
there is considerable building done
next year the opinion is that there will
still be a further advance nov,

The Millard Club In its really enjoy

snother success TO Its long list Of mu'
steal efforts As usual the audience was
large and fashionable comprising prob
ably the entire aesthetic lasts of our
city. The club consisting of about
forty members occupied seats upon the
stage. P. s, Gilmors's new national
anthem Columbia" was first render
ed, and was received with feelings akin
to enthusiasm. The male chorus "Soft

unusual. He was so loudly applauded
that he was compelled to re-appear

ed. The fresh sparkling chorus "Jack
aud Jill," was next on the programme.
lib reception was so hearty that II
had to be repeated. "Sweet Memory"
female chorus admirably sung, closed
the first part of the programme.
The second portion was devoted ex-
ciusively to Millard's new mass, which
is composed Of Solos, Duets, tlios, quar-
tettes and choruses. In the rendition
of the difficult selection the merit of the
organization was broughtto the surface.
The test was satisfactory one, and to
the taste of the audience the inspiration
Of NJ. Millard could not have been rem
dered better. The success of the enter
taiument il Ia the main attributable to
the untiring energy of Mr. G. B.Rhoads,
the musical director, who has labored
assiduously in rehearsals as we'll as
otherwise, to bring about the happy
result.

The Latest Pension Bill,

The Committee on invalid Pensions
in Congress has unanimously agreed to
report favorably the bill providing for
the payment of arrears of pensions to
to the widows and minor heirs of sol
diers who died in the United States
service during the war of the rebellion,
or who have since died from wounds
and injuries contracted in snch service.
Under the construction of the present
law for the payment of arrears of pen
sions, this class of persons have been ex-
cluded from the enjoyment of these ad-
vantages. Under the present bill, pen
sions granted under the general pen
sion laws are made to commence from
the date of death, if the death occurred
while in service, or from the date of
discharge where the death is subsequent
to their leaving the service Represen-
tative Clardy has had consultation
with the Commissioner of Pensions re-
garding the probable effect of this bill
and the amount that would be required
to carry out its provisions. The Com
missioner stated that he would prepare
careful estimate, but as far as he
could ascertain from an informal exam
ination of the question since the bill
was introduced into the House, the
sum required would probably be less
than ten million dolars.-Er.

swer to bis insinuations, he knows well

in one single year, failed to vote for
and support the names standing at its
head. To the old Republicans of the
county we know that it is unnecessary
for US to be making the above reply to
the Eagle, but as there are some in
the county now who might believe its
charges, we have thought the above
proper, and in conclusion have only to
saw. that if it thinks it profitable to
further pursue this theme of party
fidelity we will hold ourselves ready
to further respond.

The Bribery Trials.

Proceedings in and the result of the
bribery trials at Harrisburg last week,
growing out of the corrupt action in
the Legislature last winter on the Riot
claims bill, will be found in our paper
this week. The first of the proceedings
will be seen on the fourth page of this
paper Four of the principal defend
ants, Messrs. Kemble, Salter, Rum
berger and Crawford, it will be seen
pleaded guilty to the charges against
them. This was surprise and gave an
unexpected turn in matters. The gen.
eral opinion is that these pleas OF guilty
were entered in order to save from ex-
posure others back Of and behind the
parties indicted, and that the Pardon
Board will be resorted to for pardons
How this may be we cannot say; but
one thing is apparent, that if this
course is pursued, to save men from

fundamental law of the State, the New
Constitution that the people of this
State have been TO SO much labor and

an alarm and indignation that will GER
tainly be damaging to all concerned.
1t was with great difficulty the cases
reached trial, and the result is one OF
the most important for the future pu-
rity of our Legislation that has ever
happened in the State. We cannot be-
lieve the fears entertained that the
Governor and the pardoning power will
vet interfere and defeat the laws of the
land on an evil that has so long been
complained of by the people and that
has made Pennsylvania the subject CT

of the county can be heard a to how
their money is expended. And besides
this is not the first instance of the kind.
1t would be very convenient and agree
able TO the editor no doubt to have all
such transactions kept in the dark.
We knew but little about this 800
matter and did not desire to have any
thing to say about it, but when asked
by one of the Commissioners about
paving it, we told him about the same
Judge Bredin told the Court Audi
tors, namely, that the Sheriff had by
the law the control of the publication
of his annual election Proclamation,
and the power to say what papers he
would publish the same in and what
papers he would not. And that is the
law. be the motives of the Sheriff
in this case what they may. But what
we wish to refer to in this, is the Ed-
qle's self conviction from its own state
ment at the close of its article last
week 1t says, there was almost a
parallel" case happened to this paper,
the CITIZEN, "some four or five years
ago." and happening too, it states on
political grounds, and in which the
commissioners refused to pay him
(the CITIZEN for it," Now why did
they refuse He, Thomas Robinson,
gives the reason himself, and he knows,
for he was in truth and fact the whole
cause and instigator Of the then
| trouble. He says, it was because "the
Sheriff." mark you, "the Sheriff, :" 'did
not give the CITIZEN the proclamation
| for psblication." Now there you have
| it Mr.. Robinson. The "Board refused"
you say, and refused because the Sher-
iff had not ordered it published in the
CITIZEN. This decision then was made
upon the legal ground that the Sheriff
| had control Of that matter, and it don't
alter the case a bit, in legal point OF
view whether the CITIZEN "two years
afterwards secured pay for it, or not.
He says, two years afterward and by
"imrortunities" it was paid. The
Eagle had not to wait 80 long By
'importunities' it got the money in less
| than two months time. So here that
honest and consistent editor will see
how "chickens come home to rooss, "
and how necessary it is for double
dealing, tricky man, to have better
memory than he seems to have. We
take his statement as we find 1t last
week, but at the same time his facts
are very wide off the mark.
