A rather novel question arose in con-
nection with will recently offered at the
Surrogate's office for probate. The tes-
tator devised that his personal property
should be divided in shares as he desig-
mated At the time he made the will he
was not possessed of any real estate, but
afterwards he bought house and lot.
This he did not mention in the WILL and
the question now arises whether he did
not die intestate so tar as the real estate
is concerned. If this is correct the de-
ceased will in reality have two estates to
be settled-the personal by the executors
he named in the will, and the real by the
administrators provided by law.

Two expert wharf builders, Samuel
Denight and Amos Rogers, narrowly es-
capped death last evening by the sudden
| collapse of the extreme southern span of
the bridge over the Rancocas creek be-
tween Delanco and Riverside. The Gro
ton Iron Company, of New York, com
menced the work yesterday morning of
erecting a new steel bridge to take the
place of the old one In endeavoring to
provide for foot travel and also make
room for one of the new spans, the old
structure was toppled over with crash,
and went through the heavy ice to the
bottom of the creek. Denight and Rog-
ers were working between the span when
the crash came, and were badly cut and
bruised when dashed upon the ice below.
Had this accident occurred fifteen min
utes later, when the employees of the
watch case factory were going to their
homes, many persons might have been
killed
