Samuel Miller was arraigned before the
Municipal Court this morning on charge
of peddling without 9 license, but the
charge for which he was arrested was of
different and more serious character.
Miller ia one of trio that peddle house
furnishing goods for man named David
B. Horner, No. 1929 Poplar street, the
distributing agent for Fensler IL Co. and
E. Gattley s. Co., Of Philadelphia, who
supply him with bed-spriDes, rugs and
other housefurnishing goods. Miller re-
sides at No. 22S shipley street, and Lewis
Finger, engaged In the same business,
resides AZ the same place. Isaac Klein
berg, who makes up the trio, resides at
No. Go Christiana avenue.
They all peddlc goods for Horner.
KleinberR, n few days ago, sold rug to
Mrs. Kate Davis, No. 800 East Sixth
street, and wanted to sell one to Mamie
Owen, a colored woman living close by.
Mrs. Owen did not want rug, but
wanted an organ worse. Klelnberg told
her to go with him and he would show
her where to get an organ. She went
along and he took her TO c. W. Kennedy
X Co. . store, where she bought q sos
organ. She made arrangements to pay
cash as soon as the organ was delivered,
Ovens husband was not at home, and
the organ was not paid for at that time.
The organ, however. was left at the
house. Next day Mrs. Owen was eur
prised by visit from Heidelberg and his
associates, who said that Mr.. Kennedy
wanted the cash for the organ.
Not feeling that all was right, Mrs.
Owen did not pay them, when they let
on to send for a wagon to take the organ
away, which, however, they did not DO.
Mr.. Kennedy knew nothing OF these men
calling Tor the organ. After being pes,
tered by these men for two or three days,
Mrs. Owen sent for Mr.. Kennedy to come
and take 1t away, as she wanted TO get
clear OF her tormenters, though she liked
the organ, and thus Mr.. Kennedy lost the
sale Officer Burleigh had been put on
the case, and was watching for an oppor-
tunity to arrest either or all the men, but
no opportunity was offered until day or
two ago, when he saw Miller come out of
Mrs. Owens house, and he took him into
custody.
All the parties concerned, however,
succeeded In having the affair satisfac-
torily arranged and charges withdrawn,
but Miller was still held for selling good 8
without n license. Mr.. Horner appeared
this morning aud stated that he thought
he had paid all the licenses required, but
Judge Ball told him that store license
gave him no right to have men under
him going on the streets peddling goods.
AS Mr.. Horner expressed q willingness to
pay all the licenses required. the case was
dismissed with the understanding that he
would consult the proper auth critics and
take out the requisite license.
