Suit Against Mueller and Creelman.

In the Superior Court, yesterday, Austin,
Nichols 6 Co., of New York, creditors of Emil
Mueller to small amount. filed their complaint
against him, Margaret Mueller, his wife, and
Frank CreelInan. They allege that Creelman
and Mueller, from the 10th of October last to
The 2lst of this month, were partners, doing
business under the name of Emil Mueller. Dur
ing that time they sold goods to the latter and
charged the account to him personally. as they
were not aware of the partnership. On the 2lst
Of December, they say, Creelman became sole
owner of the store by paying therefore $4 500,
part of which was by assuming debt of 81, 800,
which Mrs. Mueller claimed was due her. Com
plainants allege that the partnership was kept
secret for the purpose Of defraudpg creditors,
and that the debt to Mrs. Mueler's has no foun-
dalton in fact. They ask judgment for the
amount OF their claim and that Creelrnan be
compelled to pay into court the said sum of
81, 500 for the benefit of Mueler's creditors.

How Harry Genet Lost at Poker,

Quite the most remarkable story
ever heard about draw poker, says a
New York correspondent, was that about
Harry Genet. The game occurred when
Genet was at the height of his fame and
fortune.
Seven men were at the table, and
they were all friends. They were play
ing S5 limit, and at that time they were
not playing straight hushes. The high.
est hand was four aces Genet lost
81, 800 on one hand. He held the ace
and three kings. Everybody came in;
Genet raised them and they all stayed.
Then they drew cards. Genet discarded
his two extra cards, which happened to
be an ace and a nine spot, and drew to
mis- kings. He almost turned cold when
he got another king on the draw Every
body around the table drew cards and
when they got to the sixth player, who
also had threes, the dealer was obliged
to gather the discards, re-shnffie them,
and deal them out again. The betting
began, but in the course of a few min,
utes they discovered that Genet and the
sixth man at the table had extraordinary
hands, and so they fled and leaned back
III buelE oudlIS " WHICH, bu6 D6ttluB.
Genet knew that nothing would beat his
hand but four aces, and as he had
thrown one ace away to fill his kings
and there were only four aces in the
pack. he felt dead sure of the pot. When
the betting reached 81, 800 they laid
down their hands. The sixth man had
held three aces, and in redealing tho
cards had received the fourth ace. It is
a thing that might occur once in thou
sand years.

We both worked at the same bench in a
cabinet-maker's shop in OberIin, Ohio
in 1854. His genius was a part Of his
birthright. I remember well his COM
ing to the shop one day with his face
badly cut by glass with which he had
been experimenting in the mixture of
chemicals. We worked a year OF two
together and then Gray married Della
Sheppard. l knew her well and she lived
only a mile west of Oberlin. After that
he moved Oh to her mothers farm and
commenced peddling milk and making
butter. This he continued until he de-
monstrated his inability to make a profit
and succeeded IN compelling his mother
in-law to mortgage her farm and saeri-
flee her property, whereupOn he began
the study of telegraphing and of tel
egraph instruments, something that he
before knew nothing about.
"TWo or three years he thus spent in
fooling with an old instrument, until
his proverty increased to such an extent
that his wife had to appeal to friends
and neighbors for the necessaries of
life. For weeks he would hardly speak
to her and the impression became prev
alent that he was not in his right mind.
One morning he returned from his work
room with a smile and said: Della, I've
got it, and at once commenced a long
dissertation upon the advantages Of
"a self-adjusting helix. So incompre4

All through the night, how lonely it seems
For no little hands wake me ont Of my

Day time, or night time, wherever go,
Dear little hands, 1 miss them so
Dear little hands. they have gone from me
now,
Never again will they rest on my brow
Never again smooth my sorrowful face,
Never clasp me in a childish embrace.
And now my forehead grows wrinkled with
care;
Thinking of little hands once resting there,
But know in happier, heavenlier cline,
Dear little hands; I will clasp you sometime.
Dear little hands, when the Master shall call.
I'll welcome the summons that comes to us
all
When my feet touch the waters so dark
and so cold,
And catch my first glimpse of the City of

If I keep my eyes fixed on the heavenly gate,
Over the tide where the white-robed ones
