1t is probable that owners of houses
in this city will in short time form an
association for their protection against the
tenants. A well known property owner
who has suffered greatly at the hands OF
the tenants stated last evening that he
was tired Of being beaten out Of his
rent. 9
Another tenant vacated one of his
houses yesterday afternoon without notice
md shipped the goods to Northeast. lie
learned Of the case last evening and after
looking the matter up found that the
goods had been transferred in the west
yard and unless he went to great amount
Of trouble he could not stop them aud 1t
might be only by chance that he would be
able to catch the goods. The proposition
which will be placed before tho several
owners of houses in this city will be to
the effect that they shall combine to allow
no persons in this city to rent q house I'M
less he can show release from his former
landlord. The movement Is looked upon
with favor by many owners OF properties
as 1t will do away with the benting sys-
tenn so prevalent by which the tenant will
consider it cheaper to pay rent than 1t is to
be without homo.
The shirt factory closed down last even
ing for week. This will give chance to
