No. 6O2 King street. where he will stay
while in the city.
He attracted the attention of every
one in the vicinity of the railroad sta
ton by his peculiar dress and person
atty
He wore a long black robe, reaching
almost to his feet, and a hat something
on the order of a Fedora, with pointed
crown. Across his breast, over the
right shoulder and under the left arm
was broad black band on which, in
white letters was painted or embroid-
cred: Divine Healer"

ably tve feet ten inches tall, with long
hair of dark auburn hue, falling below
his shoulders. He has also luxuriant
whiskers and a mustache. His full

Most of these letters contain hand
kerchiefs with requests that the healer
bless them. He blesses all handker-
chiefs presented to him. and afterward
stamps each with a blue stencil stamp
bearing the phrase. "Schrader the Di-

A SHOE DEALERS TROUBLES.
EDMUND P. MOODY WAS NOT ABLE
TO MEET THE DEMANDS OF HIS
CREDITORS.

CREDITORS.
Edmund p. Moody, shoe dealer at No.
424 Market street, is in financial straits
and his store is shut up Constable
Hurlock claims the first lien, asserting
that he secured it last night, but
Sheriff Finn and he will have to fight
out the matter of priority.
The first indications of trouble were
last week when Hoffecker & Hoffecker
and Willard Hall Porter, representing
outside creditors, entered suits against
Mr. Moody There the matter rested
until shortly after o'clock this morn
ing, when George T. Brown, attorney
for General j. Parke Postles, went to
the prothonotary Office and entered
two judgments bonds, one for S4,95O,
and the other for S193, and ordered
execution. The writs were immedi-
ately placed in the hands of Sheriff
Finn, becoming equivalent to levies
Not long after that Constable Hur-
lock, who had heard of the proceeding,
went to the Court House and declared
that he came in ahead of the sheriff, as
he made his levy last night.
The store is shut up, but Mr.. Moody
did it himself, and neither the sheriff
nor Constable Hurlock can get in. The
constable went out to No 914 Della
ware avenue, where Mr. Moody lives
to seize the household effects, but the
house was closed, and again the CON
stable was baked in his good inten-
tiOns, for the law does not permit him
to make forcible entry hepurposeof
making a levy. There were two iudg-
ments obtained in Magistrate Sasse's
office. The Haywood Boot and Shoe
Company's claim is S156.S2; and
Schwabb Brothers wish to recover
SlO5.ll. The executions were issued at
7.3O o'clock last evening.
There are several other claims. One
attorney has two, aggregating $3.50, but
declines to give the names of the credi-
tors.
