CURIOUS llIsroRY OF A TnoUsAND
DoLLAR-NorE.- Frequent mention has
been made in the proceeding Of the, Bal!
tlmore city council ola $1,000 bank
note, which was in possession Of Mr.. 10.
sah Cobb, and which he felt dssirous to
nave disposed Of, so that he might be
relieved Of all care in reference to it. Tho
history, which wo copy from the Balti.
more San, is little curious:
In The year 1888, it appears, Mr..
Cobb was called on by -ladsto change
a $40 note. Upon looking at it he dis.
covered it was Il genuine 81 900: bill,
and hc was curious to know something
more about it. So great a mistake in
the denomination of note was not or.
d'narlly made, He retained it for in.
curry and asccrlainrd it ,h,d been
offered to'a lady who coniiiclrd the
millinery business, by negro woman,
III pay for some articles. That some one
wasa loser to that amount seemed al.
most certain. Mr.. Cobb, Under tho cir.
clmslanccs, fclt himself jusLifabIe in re-
tanning the note, go as to fndithc ownor.
lc adyorliscdut at various times for
ionr years, and never had call I0r it.
Tired OF being its custodian, in February
1912, he deposited in the city treasury,
with $9O.40 interest, in trust for tic
owner, if he should over be found. EC-
forts have been made, at one time O,
another, by parties in the way Of admin.
':tralion, or as descendants Of tho color
cd woman, long since deceased, to get
possession Of it, but withou, effect. =
Since tho time OF deposit with the city
tho 81, ,0S0,4o l'avc been lying in. the
treasury, drawing interest, andat this
time tho sum amounts to near $1,000.
THIS, by the action Of the city council
within day or Two past, it has been
determined shall be appropriated to the
use of tho "Union Orphan ASYLUM" "
Thus tho mysterious note is at last dis
posed Of In addition To the singularily
OF the fact that Mr.. Cobb never found a
legal claimant for the note, notwilh.
standing his repeated advertisements,
it seems that the colorcl woman who
presented it to pay bill never even ap.
prarcl TO make q claim Tor it. = BuN,,-
