Schools Fail to Make Reports.

When the trustees of a school employ
a teacher the law requires that they shall
notify the superintendent, giving the
name, postofiice address and the salary
paid. Dividends were withheld from
schools in Sussex county last year who
failed to comply with this requirement.
The same thing will be done in Kent
unless the law is obeyed. Each reader is
interested in this matter and should ask
the clerk or secretary OF the school board
if he has sent the necessary notice to the
superintendent.

SUIT To GET LAND.
Mar Hare alleges That INTERIOR
Ough Broke Contract.

Max Marx. through his attorneys, Alexander
& Ash. filed a complaint in the County Clerks
office yesterday against the marlborough Rapid
Transit Company and the City Real Estate
Company, to compel the specific performance
Of a contract to sell to him two blocks OF land
between 144th-st.. 146th-st. and 9TH and Nta
ayes. for the sum of 81. 100000. at which price
Marx alleges he agreed 20 purchase them Mr.
Marks story was told in Fridays Tribune.
The complaint sets forth that the property is
in the name of the CITY Real Estate Company.
which is merely holding it for the Interborough
company. Marx alleges that September u he
purchased the two blocks for the sum of 81
100000, on a written contract He was to pay
down $4,000 in cash. S450O00 the delivery
Of the deed, within six months from the eXecu-
ton Of the contract, and 81 100000 by the de-
livery of bonds and mortgages to the Inter-
borough company.
At the time of making the contract the IN
terborough company, Marx alleges, agreed to
execute a more formal contract in writing Sep
TENDER IA, but before it could be prepared by the
attorneys for the marlborough company that
corporation wrongfully abandoned its agreement
and refused to make the contract. For this rea-
son, Marx says he was prevented from paying
over the $4,000 in cash, and from executing the
more formal contract.
He therefore asks judgment for the specific
performance of the contract by the defendants
and the delivery to him of conveyances of the
property for the sum of 81, 100000.

COMPLAINS OF POLICE.
Captain Got No Help from Them IN
Chase of Thief.

AS the result of an experience which he had
with the police Of the Oak-st. station last Thurs
day afternoon, Captain George w. Rodgers of
Battery K, 18th Regiment, National Guard of
New-York. has sent a formal complaint to Com
missioner McAdoo relating his capture of
thief single-handed and his unpleasant recep-
ton in the police station.
It seems that Captain Rodgers on the after
in question chased a man who had stolen
his hat and overcoat from the office of his
printing establishments, at No II Vandewater-s st
At the bridge he caught the fellow, who was of
powerful build, and during his struggle with him
policeman, who was walking up in a leisureIy
fashion, made no attempt to hurry. When the
thief broke away the alleged guardian of the
law did not run after him, but allowed Captain
Rodgers to chase him, and then followed slowly.
They went together to the Oak-st. station.
There, Captain Rodgers says. a sergeant. who
was sitting with his feet the desk and a
cigar in his mouth. began to bully him for max
ing the arrest. He insulted him by sneerngIy
saying that the coat not worth the trouble
Captain Rodgers declares that there was not
the slightest senbance of discipline in the sta
ton. that the sergeant was giving orders in a
profane manner to the man at the telephone and
that man stuck his head out of the captain's
room and, addressing a crowd of policemen
lounging around the room. said:
What are you fellers hangin' around here FORT
Get the h out of here, Get. now"
