AMAZED LEASE HOLDERS.
ihe Schenley Estate in Allegheny
VIII Raise All Rentals.
From the Pittshnrr pnSt

ihe Srhenley Estate in Aucrbenx
Will Raise All Rentals.
From the Ifttsbury Post
Lease holders of property on the Schen-
ley estate in Allegheny were intensely
worried by a circular they received last
week. The circular notified nearly 2.G;p
lease holders that their leases expired
next April, and asked each lease holder to
state the amount of ground he occu,ied
and character of building upon it,
1t was learned that all the property own
ed by Mrs Schenley in Allegheny. embrace
ing about $50 acres, in the very center Of
the city, is scheduled to be improved. and
the new leases will be increased in value.
u, Inc iessees Will be called upon to increase
tne value of the property by means of inn
pfovements. 1t is the plan Of the SchenJey
estate owners to make their property the
most improved, If not the most VALUABLE.
in the city of Allegheny
The agents of the estate will agree with
the consent of the owners Of the Schenley
estate, to renew all leases on Allegheny
property. providing that the lessees are
or more on their holdings.
Ihough the value of the property in
VOWED In this transaction cannot be def
niteiy stated, City Assessor Brown says it
Is not less than $2,OOO,UO, and when the
property is improved it will add at least
S5oo,0UO more. Though the Scheniey estate
is in the very heart of Allegheny, there
,s much Inimproved property. but all hold
ers have leases. The Schenley holders want
to catch those who lease the unimoroved
property. If holders of Schenley leases can
not guarantee to improve the property
they viii not be able to get extensions of
their leases, but If they can there will be
no trouble.
Within the limits of the Schenley estate
are some of the finest residences of Ale
gheny. OF course, the holders of this kind
OF property will be allowed to renew their
leases, but not at the old figure Every
riece of leasehold ground owned by the
Schenley estate will be advanced in price
and the yearly dues proportionately in
creased.
The sending out of the circular caused
a commotion yesterday in the best part
Of town, 1t was the common tcSic of
discussion. 1t was generally agreed that
the demands of the Schenley agents would
have to be acceded to, and within the mex.
few days all lease holders will send def
mite statement of their hold nss, the amount
of property and the improvements they
have made. A great many lease holders
did not know that their leases expired next
April.

Constable Thomas Wright, of Hoboken.
last night arrested Robert Stewart, who
said he was a resident of Mount Vernon,
N. Y, for being drunk. Witnesses of the
arrest said that the constable was not
justified as Stewart was only slightly in
toxicated and the constable was quite as
drunk as Stewart. Stewart, two other
men and Wright were standing in front of
a saloon at the corner of Newark and
Hudson streets, at ha1f-past eight. The
men appeared to be holding a spirited
conversation. Suddenly Wright was seen
to put his hand on Stewart and attempt
to take him toward the police station.
Stewart who is an old man refused to
bulge from the spot and Wright being
unable to move the old man took a black
jack from his pocket and threatened him
with a clubbing. This did not move
Stewart one bit and he told the con-
stable to go ahead and strike him. Stew
art drew back. his hand in a threatening
manner and told the constable if he
used the black jack on him he would
break his head. The constable put the
black jack back in his pocket and whistled
Tor a policeman. Stewart protested that
ne had not done anything out of the way
ana would not be arrested. The constable
