PaI1adiui WIN Contest.

The contest over the will of Mrs. Palla-
DIM, of Burlington, was again taken up in
the county courts on Wednesday. Coun-
sell for cayeators opened their case, giving
their principal objection to the will the
fact that nearly one-half of the estate
went to William D. Squires, who was Mrs.
Palladini's business manager, but not re-
lated to the family. Squires said that
under the first will, which his father
wrote, he would have received $4,000
more than by the last document, and that
he did not know what the first will con-
So, 600 which was devised to Squires in
the first will, went to Rev. Mr.. johnson.
About 10 days before her death Mrs. Pal
ladini sent for Squlres saying that she
wished to change her will, but she died
before he saw her.
Miss Jennie Darnell lived with Mrs.
Palladini for 10 years previous to her
death. In June, 1894. she went to Phila-
delphia with Mrs. Palladini, who said she
wanted to execute her will. The latter
had often said she would leave her neph-
ew comfortable, but never mentioned
what sum she would leave him. Mrs.
Palladini's brother, Henry 1. Kinsman,
lived at Florence, but did not visit his
sister and was not at her funeral.
Edgar Kinsman testified that he was
nephew of Mrs. Palladini. He had visit
ed her occasionally and they were on
friendly terms. She generally sent him
$25 for Christmas and paid $48 interest
for him annually. She told him once he
would be remembered handsomely. He
thought she was easily influenced. He
wrote her a friendly letter once, not ask
ing for anything, but she sent him money.
Once she gave him 800 for trip to Bos-
ton and similar amount toward trip to
the Worlds Fair.
This closed the testimony against the
will and the court at once decided that
the will should be admitted to probate.
The counsel on each side was allowed a
fee of $50, the court announcing that
those lawyers who represented individual
heirs or legatees would have to look to
their clients for their pay.

The residence of Andrew James was in

It is thought that children playing with
matches started the blaze.

No clue has yet been unearthed as to
the whereabouts of Joseph Maloney, who
disappeared mysteriously from his farm
on the North Pemberton road on Monday
morning of last week. He drove to Mount
Holly, put his horse up at the Arcade
hotel, and then walked to Burlington.
He spent the night at the house of Robert
Tilllnghast, in that city, leaving on Tues
day morning to return to Mount Holly.
He borrowed fifteen cents from his daugh-
ters, showing that he had little or no
money In his possession. Later on he
was seen on the ferryboat going TO Bris-
toI, being recognized by wen on the
back of his neck. Since that time moth
ing has been heard of him.
There are various theories as to the
cause of the old mans disappearance
One of them is that his mind has become
unbalanced in worrying about the wen on
his neck, which he has been advised to
have removed in Philadelphia hospital.
He had been told that if the false growth
was not removed soon it might affect his
brain, which it really may have done.
Another rumor is that he was in fnan-
cial difficulties. although it cannot be YER
flied. The only circumstance is that the
interest on the mortgage on his farm had
not been paid, although overdue. In
former years this money was paid
promptly.
Maloney is slightly stoop-shouldered,
has gray hair and is about IS years of age.
He is very quiet man and would scarcely
ask a favor of anyone if he was starving.
