TOO MUCH PROFIT.
Suit Against Furniture=
Dealers.
COST OF MOVING HOUSE.
The Proprietors of the Mirabeau Wish
NowThat They Had Remained
at the Oriental.

George W. end Marie Borel-Snyders'
proprietors of the "Mirabsau" Hotel on
Ellis street. filed suit in the Superior Court
yesterday against Abraham Aronson and
Eudora V. Smith.
The complaint set forth that the plain
tiffs were, in January, 1891, proprietors of
a hotel aud rooming-house at 6l5 Taylor
street known US the Oriental" This
hotel had been thoroughly furnished and
upholstered by Aronson on the credit
system, the contract being for so much
down aud certain SUN a month until
the whole was paid of.
About this time plaintiffs claim that
Aronsou came TO them and advised them
10 give up their business at the Oriental,
which WAS realizing a very handsome
profit. as he thought the Mirabeau would
be the very place to suit them. He advised
them strongly 10 take ths house on lease.
sud ctfered TO furnish il for them in luxuri-
Gus style at reasonable cost.
After some discussion they consented.
sni AronSon, il Is claimed, agreed TO fur
uiSh Snd uphOlSter the Mirabeuu for about
S20,OCN OF this they were to pay him
5000 down, and the balance, including in
tsreS!, at the rate of $500 q month. So
tie Oriental was sold, the sale OF ef-
feetS realizing $500. and the Snyders
moved iUkO tn6lT new POSSESSION.
One month after that date the complaint
alleges that ArOns0n called Oh the Snyders
aud told him that the bill for furnishing
their hotel amounted to S34 267 Is. BY that
time they had paid him $500. ana ArOn-
son said he would deduct that, hut de-
manded an obligation for the balance and
4 ehattel mortgage. So promissory note
was drawn up and executed by the Snyders.
Meantime. they assert, the house had
not been thoroughly furnished according
10 contract. as there were many rooms yet
not habitable, and they claim TO have lost
much custom through this. And before
Nav of the present year the Snyders claim
that the furniture began to rot; that the
carpets were of inferior quality and had
already nearly worn out, and the result of
an investigation showed them that their
household effects were not worth the price
paid for them by no less sum than
$4,000.
They complained to Aronson, but he
stuck out for his money, and finding there
was going to be trouble started in, says
the complaint, to publish false and mali
cious reports concerning the Snyders and
in every way attempted to injure their
business and commercial standing. just
then they seem TO have found out that
Aronson had not delivered up to them the
$500 aceruiEg from the sale of the Orien-
tai. but had held the amount as set-off
against his claim.
The Snyders claim TO have paid already
to Aronson S12, ,S62 and interest amounting
to S3S75. totaling Sl6737. So they now
want 10 know how they stand and sue
ArOnsGn for an accounting of the price
paid for the furniture and the moneys re-
ceived by him from them, for caneeIng of
the promiss0ry note and chattsl mortgage,
and they charge Aronson with deliberate
fraud.
Eudora V. Smith is included in the COM
plaint on the ground that she loaned the
$4,000 purchase money to the Snyders al
Aronson's request. and they want TO know
how they stand with her.
