"Washington, Nov.

SO Scattered wireless messages received at Manila from vessels near the path of the disastrous typhoon which swept over the Visayas to-day confirm the first reports of heavy casualties in the catastrophe Beyond a meagre dispatch early tt -day from the governor general sof the Philippines stating that he had a relief transport to each of the afflicted Islands, the Bureau of Insular Affairs has received no further official word of the disaster. Tills is explainable by the fact that there is thirteen hours difference in time between fieri-and Manila. The War Department to-day cabled government officials at Manila for information as to the damage done tre rallroad across Ilolilo which has its terminal at Capiz. It is feared that it has been greatly damaged. The T'nited States cruiser Cincinnati has been rushed to Capiz to establish wireless- communication between Manila and the devastated section.

Until sh-i arrives Sunday morning by Washington time it will be impossible to secure any further particulars as to tiie extent of the damage done. CnofTk ia! reports received by th Nfivy Department indicate that many Taiiflc coast vessels plying in Ka.ste.-n waters, were in the path of the typhi-.

That will be the slogan about town when the business part of December is ushered in Monday morning.

A committee of leading merchants are back of the project for a "Buy In Camden month'' which has for its object an effort to get Camden people and the nearby suburbs to do as much of their Christmas shopp'ng as possible in Camden stores or to at least visit the local stores, see the holiday iiNpalv get the prices and then determine whether time and money cannot be saved in patronizing local houses. The merchants have planned sever, schemes of advertising, the main ot being to use the columns of the :1 newspapers and on "Wednesday the Courier will make an extra distribution of papers in the nearby towt.s to augment its already large suburban, circulation anj In this Issue tiie met -chants will have the privilege of not only going Into close to XT, 000 in which the Courier goes daily, but by reason of the extra circulation, will et into other homes and place their areu-nent before the people, through 'Iip advertising columns, as to why local stores offer the greatest advantages the Christmas shopper. Another form of advertising will i- an advertising wagon with a "Santa Claus'' along with it to visit the suburban towns and hand out literature on the "Buy in Camden" proposition. plans will also be carried out so that there won't be a home in almost the tire two counties but what will hav the "Buy In Camden" slogan sounded In their ears more than once. Local stores all report themselves in better shape to serve the people tliisi season than ever and they are anxious to get large numbers of people to prove their ability to serve them to ae- cided advantage.

WIFE'S CONVliE HELP TO BE LEGAL Given in Good Faith and Husband's Creditors Fail in Their Suit WANTED INSTRUMENT SET ASIDE Vice Chancellor Learning in an opinion given to-day refuses to set aside a conveyance of property from Ferdinand Andorfer to a Mr. Keeley. Suit to set aside this conveyance was made by Joseph R. eBckett, one of several creditors of the defendant.

It was shown that Andorfer and his wife Anna lived in a bouse at Swedes-boro, the property being in the hus band's name. Some time after the husband is alleged to have deserted his wife, returning in about three years. Then he entreated his wife to take him back, which she did when the defendant conveyed the properyt to her in order that she might be protected should he again go rt -Ft ir- tlifl nr l-OTIS l.pfia rf A T-i dorfer to his wife, he went into bust- ness at Swedesboro, buying and selling ti couple of years, contracting a large number of billls which he was unable to pay. One of the creditors is Joseph R. Beckett, who seeks to set aside the deedt from Andorfer to his wife on the ground it was made to defraud creditors.

The seriousness of the present situ ation is that a Mr. Keeley has pur chased frm the wife the property at Swedesboro for a full consideration and Is now the owner. It Is alleged that he never had any knowledge of the bonefldes of the transaction between Andorfer and his wife and Andorfer and his creditors and is not in consequence chargeable with their acts. The Court takes thu position that Inasmuch as there were no creditors of Andorfer at the time of the conveyance to his wife that the conveyance was predicated upon a valuable consideration, namely, the absolution of the husband of his crimes toward her and that It does not appear that fi rtpfondant nlaced the title to his property In the name of his wife to de- a or rrcsr.ectlve credi tor the deed is held to be good. As a result the title of any subsequent purchase is valid, so the Vice Chancellor refuses to set it aside.

Plckard, a contractor and builder, of 1042 North Thirty-thirA street, who sat quietly in his little home last evening and discussed with a Courier man the talked of income which if materialized will put him on the shady side of easy street for the remainder of his life.

Mr. Pickard who bus lived quietly by himself in a little one story bungalow is a common place se yf a man and when the Courier man ap-proached him. made liiiht of the revert of his sudden acquisition to wealth. lie sat, he hadn't built any castles and didn't propose to until he had proof positive that the talked of come his way, neither did he propose to spend any money In an effort to secure the fortune. He said he had been called upon a few flays ago by a man who represented himself to be a George ricka-d, from Canada, who told him th.it through the death of a relative In France there was an estate' valued at considerably more than half a million dollars awaited the heirs.

The stranger said he had located two families who were entitled to a share of the estate and was looking for the third family. He claimed that tiie authorities at Washington had furnishfid him w'th Mr. Piekard's address on the Kast Side. The North -Piile contractor said he hadn't time to discuss the matter lony with his caller as he had an important business engagement and the visitor promised to cp.U later and go more into details about the alleged foriiTiV. He-had failed to call since, however.

During the course of the conversation Mr. Plckard said his father was born in France and he had often heard him say to his wife that some day would come Into a fortune. He said he had not counted very stronglv after all of these years In getting any slice of the fortune. Mr. Pickard has several sisters anS brothers living in Philadelphia and he has not even himself enough in the matte'- to call and ask any of them if they have heard anything about the fortu ne.

He is not given to talking much about the affair and cannot understand how tile report got about, but he '-as been linrs into sa vs congratulated by a host of neigh-and friends on his sudden entry wealth.
