PECULIAR CONDITIONS.
They Surrounded the Estate of David
Adams.

The other day Judge Walker, of the pro-
bate department, approved the final report
of John c. Adams, executor of the estate
of David Adams. Yesterday it was discov-
cred that the report was erroneous. John
c. Adams, son of David Adams, was APP
pointed executor of his fathers estate in
1881. Since that time no report has ever
been fled with the probate commissioner.
All track was lost of Adams, and for the
last year and half Miss Clinton. clerk
in the probate department, has been en-
deavoring TO locate him by means of the
postal service. Recently 1t was learned
that he was in New York city, and Judge
Walker wrote asking him TO file a report
money had ever been received by the
executor, no claims were ever filed and
what personal property there was in the
estate had been turned over to the widow.
Judge Walker studied over the report
and finally approved il. Then he began to
investigate the books and found that the
executor had drawn SIS from the bank, that
a claim for $4,000 had been filed against
the estate and that suit was once brought
to forecloSe a mortgage on property in
Martnsville and had been carried to the
Supreme Court, where a decision was rem
dered against the estate and the heirs paid
$500 in costs. The report was then set
aside the books being left TO show that the
executor had resigned, and the estate was
reopened so any creditors might file their
claims.

Mr.. Whiteside's elaborate scenic revival

ness, but yet with no trace OF rancor, that
the American public seems no longer TO
