Method for Concentrating bioou'
A cheap and rapid method for con
centrating the enormous quantities OF
blood collecting In abattoirs has been
invented recently. The blood Is Inject
ed into an oven shaped chamber, open
at the top. and brought into contact
with a current OF hot air ascending
from below. All the water Is eyapo-
rated In this manner. and the blood
powder is carried TO the receiving
chamber. The product thus obtained
is tasteless. and contains 1874 per cent

SITES HER LANDLORD.

| Mrs. Adeline Covert, who until re- gently lived at 90 Goffe street. where she kept boarders, has started in to make things interesting, if not exactly pleasant for her former landlord, Mi chael Stokes. Two of her boarders, Luther Thorpe and George Matthews, have joined in the rebellion, and all three will fight Stokes to a finish. Three civil wits, in each of which Michael Stokes is the defendant, were returned to the city court yesterday. Mrs Co., vert is the plaintiff in the most fmpor- tant writ, and Thorpe and Matthews are the plaintiffs in the two smaller writs.
 The allegations set forth the follow ing story: On September 10 Stokes be- gan to shingle the house at 90 Goffe street, where Mrs. Covert resided. When night came on he left a large hole in the roof. Mrs. Covert and all the boarders remonstrated with him, and begged him not to leave them to sleep under the stars. but he "Wilfully maliciously, wantonly and negligently refused to even spread rubber blank ct over the roof" It rained hard in the night and the plaintiff claims that her carpets. rugs, beds, bedding, clothes, lamps and furniture were greatly dam aged; also that the plaster fell in the night, frightening Mrs. Covert almost out of her wits, and that she caught severe cold from the wetting and con sequently suffered great mental and bodily pain and anguish. She claims $500 damage.
 George Matthews alleges that a suit of clothes valued at $10 and several shirts worth $1.50 were ruined He claims $1O09damages
 Luther Thorpe claims $50 damages through the loss of a suit of clothes valued at $5
 Mrs Covert claims that she was obliged to set up her boarding house elsewhere as the result of the disaster.

COMMON PLEAS SUITS.

Suit for $1,000 was instituted yester- day by Joseph Farino, the barber in the Turn Hall building, through Attorney E. J. Maher, against Julius H. Frost, dealer in barbers' supplies.

He wants to have Frost take the shop off his hands now, but the latter refuses to do so. The case is returna- ble to the October term of the common pleas court.
