A MOVING

Here is o bit of clever work that
was accomplished overnight by .
smart Pennsylvania householder.
A dispatch from Wilksbarre, Pa,
Gays: IA singular exploit was
performed at Pleasant Valley, a
small town near Pittson, Saturday,
in the secret removal Of . dwelling
house from one lot to another with
out disturbing the slumbers Of the
inmates. John Mclaughlin had the
house built . year ago by Andrew
Frolinger, . Scranton contractor.
He gave Mr.. Frolinger to under
stand that the lot was his and that
he would pay him for the house Is
soon q finished. When the build
ing was done Mclaughlin refused to
pay, and Frolinger then discovered
that he didn't own the lot and never
had owned it. He was unable
therefore to legally seize the build
ing, but went about it in another
way. He bought . vacant lot next
door, and Saturday evening came
to Pleasant Valley with . force Of
twenty-five men. The house was .
frame and they lacked it mp, put
rollers under it and moved it to
Frolinger's lot, . distance Of twenty
five feet, without waking the family
inside. The house was occupied by
. man named Garfield and his fam
lily, to whom Mclaughlin had rent
ed. Having got the house on his lot
Frolinger notified Garfield to pay
the rent to him or vacate. He has
decided to vacate and began NOV
ing to-day"

A WIFE'S RIGHT.

-
1t 10 well known that a husband
may maintain IN action for damages
against . man who has alienated the
affections Of his wife. May . wife
maintain IN action against q woman
Who has robbed her of her husband :
On this question the judges Of the
Court of Appeals, Second division,
have divided. The opinion Of the
majority is that the action may be
maintained.
BY the common law . wife could
not sue in her own name. But the
injustice of that Law has been large
" removed by statutory legislation
comforting on q married woman
many Of the legal rights that have
always been enjoyed by the hus-
band. That q wife should have the
same right to sue for the loss Of her
husbands society that he has to
sue for the loss of hers is obvious.
As Judge Vann, in delivering the
opinion of the Cour. of Appeals,
forcibly says
The actual injury to the wife from
the loss Of consortium, which is the
basis of the action, is the same as
the actual injury to the husband
from that cause. His right to the
conjugal society Of his wife is no
greater than her right to the society
Of her husband. Marriage gives to
each the same right in that regard.
Each is entitled to the comfort,
companionship and affection OF the
other. The rights of one and the
obligations of the other spring from
the marriage contract and are mu-
tual.
As the wrongs of the wife are the
same in principle and are caused by
acts of the same nature as those OF
the husband the remedy should be
the same. Why should he have q
right Of action for the loss Of her
society unless she has . right OF
action Tor the loss of his society!
Does abe not need the protection OF
the law in this respect at least As
much rs he does? Will the law give
its aid to him and withhold it from
her Eobs>
hG. pzorum Of justice and COM
mon sense there is no answer to
that reasoning. But in the case be-
fore the court it was necessary to
determine whether the right was
conferred upon q wife by the statu-
tory law of the State, and that ques-
ton the majority of the judges
answer in the affirmative. New
York Herald.
