had nothing to squal about.
A. &. Hessing testified that in April,
1874. his personal property was worth
$4,000 uDincumbered and an execution
for $4,000 wonld have been satisfied, as
he had other valuable property. Blodgett
was not party to the agreement of wit
ness, Le6ke and Woke, to keep the order
of the sale out of the newspapers.
On the third charge of borrowing money
of assignees, this afternoon Mark Kimball
assignee of the Mutual Security Com pany
testified that he loaned Judge Blodgetl
SIS, 900 trust funds in 1879, at per cent.
which was shortly paid.
O. H. Horton said he knew of Judge
Blodgett borrowing 81, 900 OF James Long
assignee of the Equitable Insurance Com

as to the interest, though the form of tht
note given necessarily called for the inter

SPECIAL N T1CES.
coNsUmpr1vEs TAKE NOTICE

Every moment of delay makes your case more
hopeless, and much depends OH the judicious
choice of a remedy. The amount of testimony in
favor of DR.. Schenck's Pulmontc Syrup, as a cure
for Consumption, far exceeds all that can be
brought to support the pretentions of any other
medicine. see DR.. schenck's Almanac, containing
the certificates Of many persons of the highest
respectability, who have been restored to health
after being pronounced incurable by physicians Of
Acknowledged ability. Scherck's Fulmonic Syrup
alone has cured many, as these evidences viii
show; but the cure is often promoted by the en-
ployment Of two other remedies which Dr.schencl
provides for the purpose. These additional rene
dies arc schenck's Sea Weed Tonic and Mandrake
Pills BY the timely use Of these medicines, &C
cording t. directions, Dr. schenck certIfes tha
most any case of Consumption may be cured.
| Dr. schenck is professionally at his principa
Office, corner Sixth and Arch Sis Philadelphia
