quired by the city by condemnation.
There are houses on the bed of the
avenue that are appraised here at their
full value that can be moved off and
placed on the remainder of the lot FOR
less than $500 each. Some will have to
be moved only 10 to 10 feet. All the other
houses can be sold to adjoining property
owners for at least one-third of their
value. Two of the houses that can be
moved are worth $500 each. The other
buildings by my computations are worth

are exactly alike. Care was taken to
follow the precedent established in that
case. Price street is opened or partly so.
If the Wyoming avenue ordinance is not
according to law neither is that for opeh-
ing Price street.

months term in the LuZerne county

Attorney T.. II. Shurtleff went down
tC Wilkes Rarre Saturday to ascertain
from the district attorney as to when
Aubrey and Spencer would be called
upon to deliver themselves uD. The
district attorney was about TO send
them formal notice Of the finding Of
the superior court and refusal of the
supreme court to interfere, together
with u summons to present themselves
to Warden Boland as directed in the
decree of Judge Wickham. Mr.. Shurt-
leff's visit made these formalities un-
necessary, it being agreed to waive
technicalities and arrange mutually as
to the time when the sentence should
begin. The district attorney said they
might come down any time now and
upon learning this the convicted men
decided to give themselves up today,
wishing to have the thing over with as
soon as possible.
Mr.. Spencer's business interests will
be looked after by his sen during his
absence. Aubrey's wife will go to their
FORMER nome III ouluelldllu, ElSldnu'

there by her husband when he is at
liberty.

such bad business. 1t is understood
that in the course of a month or so an
