Why THEY ARE ANXIOUS.

1t Behooves the Police to Find These
Garments Soon.
vosburRh g. Steup's tailoring establish
ment, on Newark avenue, was burglar
lied one night last week. The police con-
sidered the infer nation too valuable to
be shared with an unappreciative
public and Kept the mat
ter to themselves as we'll
as they could until the report became
noised abroad, and the fact OF the rob-
berry was given out. The mere announce
ment, however, was about all there was
to give out. the lends of justice" not hav-
ing been advanced an inch by lack Of
publicity.
But the still hunt for the thieves has
been active. There are three reasons why
the fficers are particularly anxious to
find the plunder. They are as follows:--.
1. New overcoat built to the measure OF
President John P. Feeney.
Q. New suit adopted to the manly form
of Superintendent Smith.
g. Another suit which Commissioner
Kelly will look well inf he ever gets
there.

ALL MIXED UP.

Suits and Cr oss Suits That Would Puzzle
a Philadelphia Lawyer.
A complicated suit was commenced In
Chancery this morning before Vice Chan
cellor Pitney. It was the case OF John
Wheelihan VS.. Elizabeth Kirstead. Mrs.
Kirstead was the widow OF Edwin N.
Wilson, late cashier Of the Second Ma
tional Bank. Away back in the
seventies Emma Budd sold q piece
of eight lots on the west SIDE or the Hill.
It was subject to a mortgage OF
$4,000. Wilson sold the land
TO Wheelihan subject to the mortgage.
The mortgage was foreclosed py
Mrs Budd, who bought the
property at the foreclosure sale
by Sheriff Toffey. She subsequently sold
tie property to Edward Wilson.
%.sn Mr.. Wilson died, among the prop
erty which came to his widow was this
land and bond of Mr..
Wheelihan's. Mrs. Wilson subsequently,
became Mrs. Kirstead and began suit Ia
the Supreme Court upon the bond
against Wheelihan. Wheelihan OBJ
tained an order from the Chancellor
compelling Mrs. Kirstead to show cause
why she should not be restrained from
prosecuting her suit. And IL was on this
order that this mornings proceedings
were held.
The matter was complicated by the In
tervention Of clerk In Vredenbu ana
Garretson's office, who WAS made Receiver
for Mrs Daniel Toffey's estate. and VINO
also filed filed cross bill thinxing
that Mr.. Toffey still had some interest in
the lands. The case Is still on.
