WIVES AS BORROWERS.
An Interesting Case in Which the
HackettstoWn National Bank
is Concerned.
Special to the Jersev c,atu N.,ns.

hACKETTsTowN, Oct. 90. 1S92.-A ques-
ton Of a married woman's responsibility
as a borrower has arisen in a case
in which the Hackettstown bank
is defendant, the settlement of which will
be of great interest to lenders. At least
it will make national banks extremely
careful in their business relations with
women of this class.
On November Is, 1891, Charles Ming, a
well known farmer Of Chester, called
upon Nj. L. Welsh. n of the directors
of the Haekettstown National Bank, at
German Valley. He said to Mr.. Welsh
that he had a good note made by his wife
and brother-in-law. John Swayze, for
81. 100, which he wanted discounted.
you Know he said, THAT nay wife is
~good-(and Mr.. Welsh had that knowl-
edge, his father having settled the estate
OF the father of Mrs. Ming and l have
myself A good farm free and clear of all
Membranes"
A TRUE N FALSE STATEMENT.
This latter statement was true, as a
matter of record, but false as a matter of
fact, because at that time Mira. Ming held
mortgages against her husbands prop
erty for IS. 600 by assignment. Mr.. Welsh
told him that Monday was discount day
at the bank and he would take the note

would be made Ming inaisted that he
needed the money and Mr.. Welsh finally
discounted 1t and gave his personal
check, payable to Louisa Z. Ming, for the
amount.
The bank ratified the action of Mr..
Welsh because, at the time, the note was
a perfectly good one. The note was re-
newed from time to time until last May.
On or about May 25. the mortgages held
by Mrs. Ming, by assignment, against her
husbands property were placed on record
and about the same time the note came
due and went to protest.
THE BANK BECOMES SUSPICIOUS.
When the records were examined it
was found that the mortg ges were given
long before the time Ming assured Welsh
that the farm was free and clear. The
note lay under protest for a month, on
repeated promise thai II would be paid.
The bank became suspicious, however.
and pla ed the matter In the hands of
their attorney, H. w. Hunt. with instruc-
lions 10 collect. He obtained ajud2ment
as quickly as possible and that Judgment
became a matter of record on July 10.
Three days before the Judgment was OBJ
tanned John Swayze, the accommodating
hrother-in-law in this case, covered all
his property, real and personal, with
mortgages aud On the very day the
judgement was entered, Charles Ming,
the eudorser. but virtual principal Ia the
matter, made an assignment of all
his property and possessions to

for the benefit of creditors. Neighbour.

One day she arrived late for her work,
and as she entered the house caught o
glimpse Of the six daughters already as
sembled in the family sitting room with
their gowns and patterns, their work
boxes and their new roll Of ''Injy mus

one was telling the other a story Of such
absorbing interest that they sat breath

The gulGbility of persons who buy
mines has passed into a proverb, 1t is
said that such properties have actually
been salted with half melted silver dol
lars and sold to investors, who did not
realize that the precious metal was not
found in nature with the stamp of the
mint Anpon It, Undoubtedly the most
scientific method of accomplishing this
sort of swindle is to apply the silver in
the shape of nitrate solution. When
it is ready for use some salt is put into
it and it is squirted over the rock, the
salt causing an immediate precipitation
of the metal in a manner that is equally
conspicuous and deceptive to the eye
