SOME PECULIAR CASES.
They Were Heard at Yesterdays
Meeting of Poor Board-Report
of Superintendent Beemer.

| The poor board was confronted with
two peculiar cases at their meeting yes
| terday. in which a deserted husband
| figured in one, and an abandoned wife
| in the other.
John II. Williams, a blind man, living
at s12 South Main avenue, complained
, that Arthur Williams, of North Main
avenue, near the city line, had deserted
his wife and two children last June and
is now located in New York.
| Four weeks ago the wife of the COM
painant deserted her husband and
| Joined the wife deserter in the metropo-
lis, where they are now residing. The
deserted husbands appeal was not for
the return OF his recreant wife, but for
| the board to provide for the other
mans wife and children.
Inasmuch as the deserted wife or her
children had not applied for aid, the
board did not feel called upon to take
any cognizance of Williams appeal, and
the case was dismissed. The other case
was one of the most intricate the board
has ever dealt with.
Mrs. Maria Kusmr and son, Michael,
aged IA years, arrived at Ellis Island
from Germany on Wednesday, having
transportation to Philadelphia, where
her husband and two children are liv-
ing. In the shuttle which follows the
departure of emigrants from the island,

woman and boy We're sent to Scranton
and arrived here early Thursday morn
ing. They were found at the Delaware,
Lackawanna and Western station and

sented the case to the board. through
