LANDLORD THAYER's LEASE.
Owners of tho Augusta House Want to
Turn Him Out.

An interesting case affecting the Au-
gusta house property and lease has just
come before the courts in Augusta.
Judge White house. on Saturday last,
| issued an injunction against Vickery g.
Hill of that city, restraining them from
the prosecution Of an action of forcible
entry and detainer which they had be-
gun in the municipal court against A.
W. Thayer, to GUST him from the pos
session of the Augusta House, Messrs.
Vickery & Hill claiming that the lease
had been forfeited.
1t appears that In 1890 Mr.. ThayeI
leased the house from MIR. Charles Mill
ken and the Alden heirs, they being the
joint owners, for ten years. The rent
was payable in monthly installments
on the tenth day of each month.
| The version of MIR. Thayer's side Of the
case il as follows: When the August
payment became due Mr.. Tbayer was
detained away from home by illness in
his family, and did not return until
September 18th, two days after the rent
was due. Immediately on his return he

due two days before, but the payment
was refused, and Mr.. Thayer then
learned that on the eleventh of Septem-
! Der Vickery & Hill mad begun an action
in the municipal court, claiming for
feiture of the lease by reason of non-pay-
ment of the rent on the precise day on
which 1t was due, and seeking to put
Mr.. Thayer out of possession. MIR.
Thayer's contention was that az the pro-
| prietors had repeatedly accepted rent
several days after the tsnth day of the
month, they had waived that provision
in their lease. A hearing on the bill in
equity, on which the injunction was
issued, will be had before Judge White
house October 27th.
Baker, Baker s. Staples are counsel for
Mr.. Thayer and Heath & Andrews for
Vickery & Hill.
Viokery 8 Hill claim that payment
was demanded Sept. 10 and refused; that
the suit WIS brought Sept. II. a. the
statute requires it to be brought seven
days from rent day; that the claim Of
illness was not set up until the injuno.
tion was asked for; that the check wal
sent after the quit was brought; thai
Thayer was told In June that he must
pay promptly; that there was no hearing
before Judge Whitehouse, an injunction
being granted upon giving bond o.

All Traffic Blocked.

Lockport, N. Y, Feb. 2o.-The worst snowstorrn of the season has prevailed here since o'clock yesterday and rail- roads and country traffic is completely blocked. No trains have arrived from the east since 4:S0 yesterday afternoon the trains due here from Niagara Falls at o'clock last evening arrived this morning at 2:S0 drawn by three en- zines.
 Niagara Falls, N. Y, Feb. 20.--The effects of last nights storm are still be- ing felt here. Only one train has come in from the west since last night, and several trains had to be abandoned, in- cluding the night train to Lockport The trains from the east were many hours late. The Rome, Watertown and Og- densburg railroad seems completely blocked along the lake shore, as is also the Peanut branch of the Lehigh Valley between Batavia and Tonawanda, the trains coming here by way of Buffalo. The ice jam is considerably larger and the flow of water over the falls is growing less.

Have Little Conflence.

Rome, Feb. 20-Advices have been received here from Adigrat, the head quarters of the Italian forces in Abys- sinia, saying that King Menelik has in- stigated the peasants of Agame, prov ince oe Tigre, in Abyssinia, to revolt against the Italians and that the peas- ants consequently joined the forces of the native chiefs, Sebat and Agos, who had previously deserted the Italians, taking part of their followers with them. The deserters made an attack upon the outpost to the south of Adigrat but were defeated by the Italians with heavy losses. the Italians losing fifty men killed and wounded. The defection of the native chiefs, Sebat and Agos is important as showing that the natives have little confidence in the white troops.
