ESPECIAL rELEGRAM TO THE DrsPATcH.1
UNIoNTowN, May 23.l- Prothonotary
Witt this evening received from Butler
Judge Hazen's decision in the disbarment
proceedings against r. P. Kennedy, Esq.
The decision is a lengthy and spicy one. In
the preamble his Honor, scores Abner
Lynn, the petitioner, saying that he is not 9
member of the Fayette county bar, and
that the petition does not state that he is
even a citizen of this country. He thinks
that the opinion Of members of the same
profession is the ultimate tribunal OF q
fellow practitioner, and that the petitioners
motive in constituting himself reformer of
the bar was spite work. The sixteen original
charges are taken up singly and marked
"Not sustained" and the four supplemental
charges, which were later added to the Pc
tition, his Honor holds were not properly
brought before the court, aud were in vio-
lation of rule of court, and sustains re-
spondent's exceptions to the same and dis
misses them.
In conclusion His Honor says, that after
fully weighing the evidence submitted to
him, he is of the opinion that the general
charge, together with the 16 several specif-
cations, are not sustained even by the weight
Of evidence, much less by clear convincing
and undoubted evidence, and that the pc
titioner pay the costs. The costs will
amount to about S400.

FMDLAY, May "a peculiar trust or
combination has been discovered here
whereby the supply of houses for rent has
been ''coppered" and rents advanced % to
Sc per month, according to location. The
first of the year three:young men with little
money conceived the idea of leasing every
house in the city that was for rent for q
period of one year, with the privilege of
three, the intention being to rerent at an ad-
vance of 50, 81 and Sc per month over the
amount paid the owner of the property for
the same. They worked very quietly, al
ways closing every lease they obtained by
paying three months rent in advance, and
by "moving day." May 1, they had in their
possession nearly every available house in
the city.
Then the trust or combine began reaping
the reward of their shrewdness. People
were compelled to have houses, and they
could only get them from the trust and at
the trusts terms, and as a consequence the
scheme has worked to the complete satisfac-
ton of the trio of young fnanciers. Of
course, there is much indignation, but that
don't get houses or pay rents, and the trust
is on top.
