Beat His: Wife Until theNeighbors Interfered for

Her Protection.

. A suit was filed in the district courtlate yesterday afternoon which appearsto be the initiative step to be taken bya dozen others equally; interested in thetransaction; It was that of* C. RobertSchurman, of-the state of Illinois,against Bushnell & Bushnell, a promi-nent real estate firm of this city. Plaint-iffclaims that April20.-ISS7, the defend-ants stated that they were peculiarlysituated in their business, and could in-vest a - certain . amount of plaintiff'smoney in such " a way as to beable to realize the principaland a large profit out of thedeal in which they should invest thefunds within one year. They agreedto take his money, ' not' statingwhat they . would do with it inparticular, but that they wouldremit the same to plaintiff one yearfrom that date with a large per cent ofprofit. Further representations indi-cative of the high ahd influential posi-tion defendants held in the real estatemarket led the plaintiff to leave $1,000with them, to be invested according tothe agreement. . A short time after themoney had been so placed with the de-fendants, they invested the amount in apiece of property in block 2of Hoyt'saddition to St. Paul, with the funds ofeleven other persons to whom they hadmade other or similar representations.At the time of placiug the $1,000 withthe defendants it was agreed by andbetween plaintiff and defendant thatplaintiff should have a form of theiragreement and a receipt for his money.This, however, the plaintiff claims hasnever been tendered him, althoughoften demanded. The alleged and pre-tended price paid for the properly was$50,000, one-third being paid cash asdefendants represented, and a mortgagewas given upon the same for the bal-ance, by Randall F. Hurd, to whom theproperty was. deeded. Hurd, it wasrepresented, should hold the prop-erty for the so-called "syndicate.''Ever since the spring of 1887the plaintiff has been inquiringinto the deal and learns, .as he claims,the following details, which promptshis action and which lie sets up as aspecial cause for the damages asked.The property in question was owned atthe time of the alleged and pretendedpurchase by Boston parties .for whomthe defendants were agents. The de-fendants having the funds of -thetwelve persons for investment, boughtthe property from the Boston partiesfor $20,000, receiving commission fromsuch sale, which was made to and in thename of Hurd. Then it is chargedthe defendants made a' pre-tended deed back and forthto Hurd for the consideration of $50,000,and they represented that Hurd exe-cuted a mortgage to the original own-ers, whom they named as being otherpersons, for thirty odd thousand dol-lars on the balance" of the transaction.After a while the interest on the mort-gage became due and demands weremade upon the members of the "syndi-cate." Assessments came floating in atthem and again demands were madeupon the "interested ones." The plain-tiffstates that after mature investiga-tion, he verily believes and knowsthat the property at the timeof the alleged purchase wasworth but $30,000 and that it is notworth that now. He charges that thedefendants were personally interestedin the matter, and that the purchase ofthe property and the application of his$1,000 were "a fraud. He asks that hisinterest in the property be annulled anddeclared void and wrongfully, fraudu-lently aud unlawfully obtained, andasks that his $1,000 and interest be re-tared, and $1,000 as damages for the in-jury suffered by the false representa-tion of the defendants.. '\u25a0 \SELLING AN OPERA HOUSE.

Agent and Purchaser Sue theDavidson Estate.

MarkD. Flower filed a suit againstthe Davidson estate yesterday, in whichhe asks $5,000 as commission for the saleof the opera house property toLotta M.Crabtree. He states that in March,ISSS, he entered into a verbal agree-ment with the executors of the estatethat he should make efforts to sell theproperty and would receive $5,000 if thesale was made at $142,500. In July,1888, the contract was made in writing,and the time extended in which to find apurchaser. Sept. 10. the actress Lotta M.iCrabtree was introduced by him to themanagers of the estate, and purchasedthe property at $142,500, paying $5,000as earnest mouey upon the sale, andentering into a contract to bindthe same. She was accepted asa responsible and satisfactory purchaser,and a contract whereby she should pay,$70,000 unon the delivery of the deed,and the balance in one year, was signedPlaintiff claims that the sale was thusconsummated as far as he was con-cerned, and therefore asks for the $5,000commission which has .been refused bythe defendant.

Another chapter was added to thecontroversy regarding the opera housedeal by the answer of Lotta, whicii wasfiled yesterday. Executors of the David-son estate brought suit to compel theactress to fulfillher contract by paying abalance of$95,000 and the delivery of anote and mortgage for $42,500, makingthe total consideration $142,500. In heranswer defendant admits that in Sep-tember she executed a contract agree-ing to pay the plaintiff $100,000 on de -liven*of the. deed of conveyance, thenote and mortgage for $42,500, and paid$5,000 cash on account. • She denies thatthe plaintiff delivered the abstract oftitle before Sept. 10. in fact not untilSept. 13, and did not report the titlegood.

Another point alleged is that the billboards located in various parts ofthecity, regarded as indispenable to thesuccess of tho opera house, the saidhoards being valued at $7,500, were notturned over to the defendant, and thatas a matter of fact the defendant had nopower or authority to execute or con-tract for salo of said bill boards..

Oct. 1 the defendant withdrew fromcontract, giving plaintiffproper notice,and since that date has had no commu-nication whatever with the .'plaintiffre-garding the sale. Said contract is ren-dered void under the law by the reasonthat the parties subscribing to thecontract, Ed E. Davidson and. AndrewDRaney, were not . authorized to do so,and also by the.reason.that they falselyrepresented that they owned I a half in-terest in the bill boards and bill-postingbusiness. The defendant avers that sheis now, and lias at all times been, readyand willing to fulfillher part of thecontract ifthe plaintiffs willfulfilltheirpart. The defendant believes that, theplaintiff has not a good title to the ease-ment in the ''rand ana Court blocks,and that the Economy. Steam Heat com-pany was in January, ISSS. granted theprivilege of erecting and maintaining .asmokestack by the plaintiff in the rightof way at the Fourth street entrance tothe opera house. Defendant also be-lieves "that the destruction of the operabouse was due to oareleßsaes_*a_id neg-ligence on tliopart of the plaintiff.'. Ontliese grounds she **3;*r to *:nv. the suitJ-'suii.-ea.

An Attempt to Prove Marriage aFailure.

Mary Morrison, wifeof John D. Mor-rison, filed a suit in . the district courtyesteryay, in which she seeks to allevi-ate the subjection in which she claims. she has been held by the defendant.She states that she is twenty-eight -andthe defendant forty-two years old. Theywere • married vat Farmington, Perm.,Nov. 15, 1878, and had one child born to .them, Aug. 21, 1879; which they named :Eva. She charges cruel and , inhumantreatment and cites, as especial -in-,stances that at one time . duringtheir married life he threatenedto kill her if she appeared:

| neighbors, who were attracted late, onenight to his home, where they found himaoplying_approbrious and profane epi-thets to her and beating her. in the facewith his fists. In the summer of 1880,'.for reasons inexplicable to.the plaintiff,he moved to Prescott, Kan., and a shorttime afterwards . made his wife- andchild fly to Pierce county, Wisconsin,and remain there, while he lead a stroll-ing and nomadic existence on • theborders of the state. When' ina fit of ungovernable rage heonce struck and severely woundedthe plaintiff and drove her . fromthe house. She says that he is thrift-less and improvident, always neglectingand fails to provide for herself andchild. That when he, was gone, whichwas all the time save those intervals inwhich he came to abuse her. she wascompelled to avail herself of beneficent 1

; St. Louis, Mo., Feb. IC— of themost sweeping cuts in expenses evermade -by the Gould interest has justbeen* accomplished. The method ofeconomizing applies to the ; MissouriPacific, Cotton Belt and Iron Mountain,and is nothing more nor less than thereduction of train service. Thus, in-stead of having local trains to followthrough trains to pick up the local busi-ness, through trains are compelledto do the work.

Chicago, Feb. 16.—George M.Pull-man has secured a practical' monopolyof the ' sleeping car service of bothclasses of travel on the entire system ofthe transcontinental railroads. He hasjust closed a contract with the UnionPacific for managing the second-classsleeping car service of that line in con-nection with, the Central Pacific. -ThePullman company has already a con-tract with the Atchison & Santa ' Fe,which also covers the SouteernPacific from San Francisco to Ma-jave, and it has also placedthe Northern Pacific on its list. It willestablish a uniform second-class rate of$3 for the trip between San Franciscoand the Missouri river, and has put thatrate into effecton the Atchison, betweenthe coast and Kansas City. The ratebetween Chicago and San Franciscowillbe 84. First-class sleeping rates :

are 818.50 from Chicago and \u25a0 $13 fromthe Missouri river to San Francisco.The application of the new system tothe Uuion Pacific will result in thewithdrawal of the excursion agents oftliat road from various Eastern andWestern points.

MED OFSuicide Seriously Contem-

plated as the OnlyReliefFrom Suffering.

Mr. . Jacob Graef was .found by thereporter at "No. 109 First avenue east,where the following story r was relatedby him. Mr. Graef said that for fiveyears he has been suffering more thanhe could tell.. About that lime be got.«severe cold, which it appeared impossi-ble to get rid of; as quick'as" it got*bet-ter, it would return withrenewed vigor.He bad a dropping of mucus from thehead into the throat, hawking andspitting* continually, pain over the fore-head, eyes weak and watery. His headwas in such a bad condition and painedhim so much that lifewas a burden,and he often wished it might end; * Hisappetite became poor and he graduallylost iD weight. He doctored and spent

\u0084«___*_.,

money, but all to no avail, as he gradu-ally became worse until he despairedofever getting better (but he said thatnow he was feeling like a differentman). In answer as to what lradbrought that about, he said that he hadbeen watching the papers.and seeing ofcases treated by Dr. Cosman, whose .symptoms very much resembled biscase, and as they appeared to be get-ting relief, he concluded to go and seethe doctor himself and see if therecould be anything done for him. So ac-cordingly he did so, and after a carefulexamination of my case, Dr. Cosmantold me that 1 was suffering withchronic catarrh of the head and throat,and that he could treat me successfully,so Iplaced myself in his care and com-menced treatment. I have improvedfrom the start, and to-day 1 hardlyknow myself, so great has been thechange effected in me. Ihave no moid

trouble with my head or throat. Drop*-ping of mucus' from the head into thethroat, hawking and spitting does notbother me any. My appetite has Im- "proved greatly. Ieat with a relish and*enjoy any food. Ihave gained over tenpounds iii weight since starting treat-ment with the doctor. My eyes lost theweak and watery feeling and are strongas ever.Isleep well, arising in the mornine*!

refreshed and ready for my day's work,and this is all due to the excellent treat-ment I received at the hands of Dr..Cosman, and would most cheerfully '\u25a0

recommend any person suffering withapparently incurable diseases to go and 'see him.

Mr. Graef can be found at No. 109First avenue east, where he will cheer-fully corroborate the above statementto any person who would like to inter-view mm in regard to it.
