The Roadhouse soId-The Naked Ground
Would Have Brought the Same Pricc-
Lenses Where Buildings Are Sometimes
Incumbrances.
The well known property the Roadhouse
and grounds of the late Tony Newell cor
ner Of Forbes and Shady lane was sold yes
terday by William A. Heron & Sons, Col
onel Heron being the administrator of the
estate of Martha Newell deceased. The
purchaser was III. A. Miller, Esq, and the
price S5S, 600. The property had been offered
week previous and withdrawn on bid Of
S31, 500.
The desire Of the purchaser could not be
learned. John K ely stated that he sup
posed the property would be utilized, but
in what way he knew not and Mr.. Miller
could not be found. As he isn't in the
hotel line, it is supposed he was acting for
someone else.
Though the house is well appointed
one for the purpose intended by Newell, it
is thought the ground would have brought
as much money without the building as
with 1t. The location is fine but not many
people want to keep hotel, and unless peo-
pie find a building to suit them all ready to
hand, they seldom care to buy, but had
rather build themselves.
A notable case was that of the late Cap
tain Dick Gray. He owned a piece of high
ground in Allegheny, covered with good
buildings, that a generation since were
fashionable in style. Mr.. Gray wanted to
sell, but couldn't get his price, and he
couldn't get tenants to suit him. Finally
he had the houses torn down and hauled
away and the ground graded into beauti-
full lawn. The alteration attracted the at
tention ofthe people of means to the ground
and they bought it at price considerably
higher than had been asked for both grounds
and buildings.

BRISK TRADE

In the Quiet season-How it IL Secured.
The hustle and stir pervading every de-
partment of the immense stores Of Messrs.
Boggs & Buhl induced an inquiry from
your representative yesterday as to the rea-
son of such activity in the last week in July
"a time when. reigns In
most branches of business. In response to
the question member of the firm said that
II was their policy to maintain the interest
of buyers during dull seasons by offering
extraordinarily low prices in the most desi-
rable lines of goods, and thoroughly adver,
tising the bargains through the medium OF
the daily papers. By this means quick
sales are effected, and the counters cleared
of goods before the fall stock is brought for
ward.
A tour of the stores was made in COM
pany with a chief of department,
and the display of beautiful fab
RIGS at half Cor less) regular prices
impressed even the usually Indifferent news
paper man, and a sight of the bargains Of
fered would have rejoiced any woman's eyes
and not have greatly reduced even mod
erately filled pocketbook. For instance,
there are hundreds of pieces Of French nov-
elites for dresses. All wool, AZ to 46 inches
wide. for Soc yard. All this seasons pat
terms, and really imported materials, too.
EARLY in the season the prices were 81 to
81 IS yard. A profusion of beautiful
beiges were shown at soc a yard formerly
S1); heaps of challis, Indias, surahs and
other silks at very low prices, and a number
Of pieces of Anderson's ginghams at alb
surdly low rates. In buttons there are
dozens of novelties; in belts all the new
things-alligator and seal belts, with oxi-
died silver buckles, for S1-dainty chate-
LANES, hand sarchels and travelling bags,
and leather goods innumerable. The firm
takes pride in always being able to show
unique designs in all the lines of ladies'
wear. The writer was shown such quanti-
ties of bona fde bargains in dress goods, in
cluding silks, woolens, wash goods of all
kinds, laces, trimmings, linens, underwear,
furnishings, hosiery and notions, and even
beautiful selection of standard novels, cloth
bound, at 25c each, that space and memory
fail to recount all. Truly great drygoods
business is a wonderful thing.

Mrs. Henrietta Schreiner Denies Her Dead
Husbands Allegations.
Mrs. Henrietta Schreiner. widow of John
F. Schreiner, of Moon township, the woman
who with G. W. Scott was censured by the
Coroner's jury, for alleged cruel and In
human treatment of the deceased, denies
Schreiner's charges generally and particu-
larly and asserts terrible abuse on his part.
She says Schreiner not only failed to sup
port her, but beat her in fendish manner,
leaving ineffaceable scars; beat her with
piece of iron, with a club and with shoe
at various times, and would not allow her
to make her own living in peace.
AS to Scott, she denies any undue rela-
tions with him, and says that Scott was
hired by her and her husband. Scott corro-
borates Mrs. Schreiner's story.
The case Is very much mixed, and the
only thing definitely established seems to be
that the couple had led very miserable life
for the last % years.

by a colored family living across the alley.
