A New SwindIe Game.

A swindler is working a new
game. He goes into store and
claims to have the same name as
the proprietor and is afraid that
things will be mixed up, as he too,
is going into business. In case of
goods being delivered there by mis-
take, will the merchant please take
charge of them until he comes fol-
them. The stranger then goes to a
wholesaler and orders a big bill of
goods, usually jewelry. The goods
are sent. The sharper comes along
and takes them away. AS the
good natured merchant has received
the goods and allowed them to pass
from his hands. he has to pay fol
them. Keep look out for him.

Disappearance of an Administrator

49,
A petition has been filed in the
Orphans Court by Mrs. j. Elwood
Zebley asking that the letters of
administration on the estate of
Harriet E. Wildman, deceased,
granted to Joseph Wildman and
Pearson Wildman, husband and
son of said deceased, be revoked,
and a new administrator appointed.
Mrs. Wildman died leaving an
estate worth about $1,000, in which
her husband has life interest. 1t
consists of mortgages and stock of
the Pennsylvania Railroad Com
pany. Mr.. Joseph Wildman is
mentally incompetent to transact
business by reason of old age, and
Pearson Wildman the son and other
administrator has mysteriously dis
appeared. He went to Whining
ton, Del, in September 1897, and
since that time his friends have lost
all trace of him, nor can they in
any way account for his disappear
ance. The absence of one admin
istrator and incompetency of the
other prevents the collection of the
income of the estate, hence the
petition of the heirs for new adj
ministrator. The family resides in
the upper part of the county, near
Appleton, where Joseph Wildman
owns a fine abandonment.
