BORROWING MONEY.
How Cummins Operated while IN
Business.

The methods by which Walter Cummins
actions is in no case better illustrated than
In the building OF the two handsome brick
houses at 100 and 1102 Adams Sc. He
contracted for the ground with Samuel
Murphy and James w. Ware, and the
deed for 1t was acknowledged on August
%, 1887; but as he had not the money to
pay for ii the deed was withheld by Messrs.
Murphy and Ware. Two days later, not
withstanding that he had no deed, he OBJ
tanned 5000 from the Germania Loan
Association, of which he was
then counsel, on a first mortgage.
In the following October ground was
broken for the buildings under contract
made with j. r. ID. Seeds. The work was
pushed right along and by January 20.
1888, the buildings were already plastered.
On that day Cummins paid for the ground
and obtained the deed On the same day
be borrowed $4,000 from Levi II. Miller on
the promise Of a flrst lien security. A few
weeks later the houses were finished at a
total cost for the ground and structure Of
Sl6 500 At the same time the mechanics'
liens on the buildings aggregated 50, 700.
Thus the two properties which actually
cost S26, 500 were encumbered with liens
and mortgages to the gross amount Of
s2l 200.
These two houses will be sold during the
latter part Of this month, the mechanics
liens and the Gsrmania mortgage. with in.
terest both, to be provided for FIRST. This
sum will exceed $4,000. IL is said that
Miller will contest with the Germania As
sociation the second place among the eredi-
tors on the ground that Cummins did not
as fact own the ground when the mort
gage for $4,000 was given. Counsel for
one OF the claimants who did work on the
buildings have said that the Germans
mortgage was worthless on that ground.
Counsel for one Of the claimants was ap
preached by Cummins last week and begged
not Go push the sale of the buildings as by
the Goth of this month all his obligations
would be paid of. 1t was intimated tina
Cummins expected q big return from In
vestments in stocks, enough indeed to pa
all bis debts. The buoyancy OF the stocl
market during the last few days, il is said
has given Cummlns tina utmost conhdenc
in his ability finally TO liquidate all hi

Mayor Fernwood, who has furnished the

plainly and declare 10 favor OF Harrison
