We see it stated that the heirs of the
jennings estate expect to receive their
money by March, and that about two mil
lions of it will come to heirs who reside
in Lambertville. About the only persons
who will ever see any money belonging to
the jennings heirs, will be the lawyers
who are working up the case for the
heirs-and themselves. With scarcely an
exception these stories of large estates in
Europe awaiting claimants in this coun-
try, are pure fabrications, and those that
are not, require SO complete a line of
proof of heirship that it is impossible,
after the lapse of scores Of years, to OBJ
tain it.

Walnut street, Philadelphia, who was ar
rested last week on charge of attempt
ing to negotiate $40, 200 worth of forged
railroad bonds, is a Hunterdon county
man, and is, we are told, a native of Del
aware township The Phila. Record says
1.-THE theory that Barber is perfectly in
nocent of any intent to deiraud and was
the dupe Of others is believed to some ex-
tent. By those of this opinion it is also
stated that there is an organized band of
forgers, who were about to flood the
market with the bogus bonds, and were
only awaiting the result of this first sale.
The other parties concerped are said to
be known to the police
