the Orphans' Court may appoint two disinterested persons, not in
any way related, to the parties concerned, to make such distribution
amongst the persons entitled as to them shall seem meet and proper;
or if, in their opinion, upon a view of such articles, no distribution
amongst the persons entitled could be by them made which would
operate equally, but a sale thereof would be more advantageous to
them, they shall return to the Orphans' Court their opinion in writ-

reasonable notice, and cause the proceeds of such sale to be equally
distributed among the parties entitled.
