Mrs. Callan Wins Her Case.

PRoMIssoRY NOTE GIVEN BY A MARRIED WOMAN
FOR HER HUSBANDS INDEBTEDNESS Is VOID.
The Court in General Term this morning, by
Justice James. gave their opinion in the case OF
Mrs. Jas. N Callan against Rawlings post Of the
Grand Army of the Republic (cross bill in the
case of Elliott against Gallant. reversing the
decree passed by Chief Justice Bingham. The
case. as made out by Mrs. Callan through her
counsel Frank T. Browning, is as follows; In
lsSS Rawlins post claimed that there was an in
deDtedness due the post by her late husband
and she was induced to give her note secured
by deed OF trust upon her house. TO secure
the alleged indebtedness. In 1856 the property
was advertised by the trustee, George Holmes,
ior sale. the note not having been paid. Mrs.
Callan. by her said counsel at once fled
a bill asking for an injunction 20 stop the sale
Claiming that the husband did not owe the post
and that when the trust was executed her hus-
band was very ill, having just been stricken
with paralysis, and that she was induced
through threats OF bringing proceedings
against her husband TO sign said deed Of trust.
III was also claimed by her counsel that the
note was void. being married woman's note
for husbands debt, and that the note being
VOID, the deed OF trust was void also. The case
came on for final hearing before Justice Bing-
ham last fall and ne dismissed Mrs Callans
bill. From that decree Mr.. Browning appealed
In the meantime Mr.. Holmes, the trustee sold
the house under the deed of trust and instituted
proceedings TO get possession of the house,
which have been delayed by Mr.. Browning
until he could get his appeal case heard. The
Court IN General Term heard the appeal about
two weeks ago, and this morning rendered their
opinion, reversing the decree below and sus-
tanning Mrs. Callan's bill, she thereby saving
her house. The court sustained the legal
proposition insisted upon by Mr.. Browning
that the note being given by a married woman
for the husbands alleged Indebtedness was
void, and therefore the trust securing the same
was also void

a Discrepancy,

To the Editor of The Evening STAR:
In the notice of 1.-The April snow storm" in
The STAR of Saturday it is stated that the
records of the signal Office show that Washing
ton was exempt from April SHOWS in 1874. Re-
ferring to my diary of that year find this
entry: Wednesday. April 29-"Roused at 8
o'clock by sleet and snow beating against win
dows. Up $50. Thermometer 80 degrees. The
ground covered and snow sweeping in sheets
through the old cherry trees in full bloom.
Strange. Blossoms and snow. All up now
with fruit. Snow ceases near 10.
About inches. Sun sweeps off the snow like
dew"
newspaper slip in the diary indicates that
this storm extended from Boston 10 Savannah
and was very severe, yet the fruit suffered but
little. E. f.

THE NEW TREASURER.
His Bond Approved, But He Will Not
Take Charge just Yet.

The solicitor Of the Treasury to-day approved
the bond of Mr.. Huston, the new treasurer
of the United States, in the sum
OF S150,00O. 1t is very probable
that Mr.. Huston will not be able to take charge
of the Office until the return of Treasurer
Hyatt from New York, where he will be COM
PEELED to remain until the count is made and the
Office turned over to Mr.. Roberts, the successor
of the late Judge McCue. He will qualify
next Monday and the count will be-
gin at once, probably occupying
at least two weeks. Then Mr.. Hyatt
will return to this city and turn the Office
over to Mr.. Huston. 1t will be necessary for
the New York office to be counted first,
owing to the fact that Judge McCue's death
left the Office of assistant treasurer vacant, and
MIR. Hyatts presence there is required while the
count Is in progress

Rotten Telephone Poles.

THEY GIVE WAY BEFORE THE STORM. But COULDN'T
HAVE STOOD LONG ANYWAY
Along Water street extends District line Of
telephone wires connecting the several police
patrol-boxes with the various precincts. The
poles bearing these wires were mostly blown
down. They should have been removed some
time ago, for it was found to-day that they
were rotten to the heart and dangerous to
pedestrians. There are several of the poles
still standing which should be removed at
once. as they endanger the lives of people who
have to pass them.
