A PECULIAR EJECTMENr SUIT.
An Old Man Gives His Property to His
Wife on Condition That She be Kind 10
Him-It in Claimed She In CrueI

An Old Man Gives His Property to His
Wife on Condition That She be Kind 10
Him-It il Claimed She Is Cruel.
James 81. Porter, Esq, has prepared the
papers and will in few days file suit In
ejectment in very peculiar case. A few
days ago complaint was made to. the Anti
cruelty Society of the treatment of Peter
Mueller, an aged resident of the Southside,
by his wife and her family. Superintendent
Dean investigated the case, and the result
is that Mr.. Porter will bring suit to recover
property decided by Mueller to his wife.
On October Z, 1884, it is stated Mueller,
70 years of age, and Carolina Kirst, aged 90
years, were married. At the time of the
marriage Mueller was the owner Of house
and lot at No. 1108 Carson street, valued at
$1,000. In consideration OF the marriage
between them contract was entered into
that Mueller was to transfer his property to
his wife, she to work for him, cook for him,
to clothe him, and in all respects to be to
him kind and affectionate wife. In pur-
suance of this contract Mueller, by deed OF
general warranty, dated October 7, 1884, and
acknowledged October "a, conveyed to his
wife for the consideration mentioned his
property. The value given in the deed was
$1,000 but she paid no part of it.
After receiving the property, it is claimed,
Mrs. Mueller failed to work or cook for
him, and.refuses to be kind and affection
ate wife, and has been stranger to him
since she secured the property until now.
The whole arrangement, it is claimed, was
an unlawful conspiracy between his wife
and her father to obtain the property, and
the marriage was mockery and a scheme.
Mrs. Mueller brought to their house her
father and mother and whole family, and
they took full and complete possession of
the place.
Mueller demanded that the property be
reconveyed back to him, but instead. was
forcibly thrown out of the house. He re-
turned and was then locked up in a small
room. Ever since he has been locked in the
room every night, refused clothing and gets
barely enough food for sustenance. A man
named Henry o. Stanley is tenant of part
Of the house, and pays all rent to Mrs.
Mueller.
Superintendent Dean, when investigating
the case, found that Mueller was kept in a
small room and was almost starving. The
wife and her family refused to make any
restitution, and it was decided to take legal
steps, and the suit in ejectment will be
brought by Mr.. Porte in few days.

While the circus wagons and anfmals'

ton Park last evening several leopards were
set froe by the breaking Of their cage.
Ending the efforts of the keepers to catch
them the animals dashed into the street.
made Straight across the covered bridge at
the Point, and rushed through Duouesne
way to the Exposition building. The
crowd scattered in alarm. the gatekeepers
shrank back, allowing the animals to enter
without the formality Of showing tickets.
and these savage "deadbeads" gained free ad-
mission to the show. There were none to
oppose the leopards' progress, and they
struck out for the gallery, where they were
most skillfuIly captured BY the artist In
charge Of the White sewing machine ex-
hibit, and by him deftIy transferred to can
yass and placed in frame, to the admira-
tion OF ali beholders. Their attitudes are
most lifelike. and to gaze upon them now
viii cause pleasure unmixed with alarm.

NEW HOME FOR THE AGED.
The Little Sisters of the Poor Are Erecting
Another Building.

The new home for the aged, which is being
constructed on Washington street, between
Cedar and Madison avenues, Allegheny, by
the Little Sisters of the Poor, is nearly
completed, and will be ready to receive its
$50 inmates in few weeks. 1t is of brick,
with stone trimmings, and will cost between
$50, 900 and $50, 900. The style of architect
ure used is modern, more attention being
paid to solidity and stability than to
beauty.
The Home will have a fronting of 112 feet,
be 95 feet deep, and will have two wings,
each 25x95 feet. A spacious chapel, capable
of seating 100 people; dormitories, infrm-
aries and all rooms suitable for old people
will be found in the building.
1t has been made nearly fire-proof, brick
partitions and iron work being used freely
throughout, and besides elegant fire escapes
have been provided for emergencies. All the
latest modern improvements will be added,
and among them will be an apparatus for
steam washing and drying.
The building will contain three storiesand
a finished basement, and will number 81
large and commodious rooms within its
walls. 1t will be one of the finest structures
of its kind in the two cities.

HANDSOME CATALOGUE.
Knufmaun Bros. Furnish Buyers With Z
Description of Goods.

Kaufman Brothers have issued hand
some catalogue of their fall and winter
goods. Apparently the Kaufman depot is
starting out as universal emporium, for
almost every article required by man in the
way Of wearing apparel, fancy goods, brio
a-brac, etc., is enpmerated in the extensive
catalogue. Certainly the clothes advertised
are marvels of cheapness, and they are all
made of the very best and most lasting
material. There is very apropos saying OF
the Able Latour in the catalogue 1t is:
MANS duty to society demands that he
dress like gentleman" 1t might be added
that if man wants to look like gentle
man, on the least possible expenditure, he
should go at once to Kaufmanns'.
Pants, suits. overcoats, hats, shoes, um-
brellas and fancy uniforms for men and
bows, together with ladies' garments innu-
merable, are to be had there of excellent
quality and at the very lowest possible
prices. The number and variety of the arti-
cles displayed positively dazzle and confuse
The reader. The catalogue itself, beside
possessing very pretty exterior, contains
much useful information to intending pur-
chasers, as to the best methods of ordering
goods by mail and other matters. 4
