eneral News of the State.
4 suit for damages was tried at the
Mercer Circuit Court yesterday that
was a matter of surprise to everybody
who heard it. Philip Degruchy was
a tenant of Frank Kroschurtz in a
house at No. 663 Second street, Tren-
ton. His landlord, who was the de-
PENDANT in the suit, lived in the other
side of a double house. On either
side of this double house were vacant
lots. Degruchy had a gate in his line
fence that opened into one of these
lots. During the day of January 10,
1889, a storm occurred that blew down
this fence and gate. On the 21st OF
the same month the defendant re-
built the fence and made it without
the gate formerly used by the COM
plainant.
The following day the complainant
got a saw and cut the new fence at the
place where the gate formerly stood,
81 as to leave an aperature through
which he could pass. That same
night the defendant came to the
