A CELEBRATED CASE.
A Mystery in MIR. Obelslkrs business is
Aocidently Solved,

ACCluentiy bOiNeus
]. Obelski, the West Centre street mer-
chant, found himself richer to an extent Of
forty-fve dollars in stock this morning than
he supposed he was and was relieved from
very embarrassing position, although the
developments in his case may result in
general attack on all boxes storekeepers may
hereafter leave on the pavements in front of
their places.
About three months ago Obelski pur-
chased neckwear to the amount stated from
a Rochester firm When the bill for the
goods became due the firm forwarded

Obelski senta reply stating that he had not
received the goods. About two weeks ago
the company's agent called on the dealer and
tried to adjust the account. The agent was
positive of the delivery and Obelsk was just
as positive to the contrary. They searched
/ the store and cellar, opened and overturned
boxes and cases, but not piece of neclSwear
of the description wanted could be found,
although the agent traced the goods to the
store by receipts from the freight depots and
express drivers, and Obelski was positive
that he had not sold, given away, or even
seen any of the goods. The affair was mys.
terious to all concerned and the only con.
clusion the dealer could arrive at was that
after the case of goods was delivered some
body must have spirited them away from in
front of the store. This morning the mys
terry was solved. In moving some cases tha
