An Ancient Mortgage.

"Speaking about mortgages" said
n well-known Minneapolis banker the
other day i'll the midst OF converse.
ton on the cating-up powers of inter
est, 81 was shown Il mortgage some
time ago down in New York by
banker friend that had Il history. 1t
had been IN existence just two hun
dred years, having been given in the
year 1903. 1t was on a piece of prop
erty lying in the farming region out
side Of New York. | don't remem-
Der just where. The amount was not
large. Some six or eight hundred
dollars, but it had been kept precisely
as it was given in the old dutch days.
The interest had been per cent from
the very beginning, and it had always
been kept up. The document had
been i'll the same family, too, all these
many years, and for some reason or
other it had never been thought
worth while to pay it off. Oddly
enough, the present mortgagor had
the very same name of the original
grantor of the mortgage. The origin
al document was very odd as to form
and makeup, but it was sound and
staple, and would hold water in the
courts to-day as well as the most ap-
proved document Of the times"

PASADENA, Jan. 16 Especial to THE
HERALD. There has been but little let
up in the steady downpour Of moisture
since sending the last report from this
city "a hours ago. The water has not
fallen az rapidly today as yesterday, but
it has como down steadily for the most
part. Small floods are reported in vari-
GUS portions of town, filing cellars and
making things generally uncomfortable,
but no damage OF any importance has
yet occurred. On West Union street
quite lake has formed, owing to poor
drainage. Train service for the first
time this year was interrupted betwee q
this city and Los Angeles. The Terminal
went under early in the morning and no
train went through until 2 o'clock. after
which trains run regularly. This Santa

There was little cessation OF the storm
yesterday and last night. Rim fell at
intervals during all of the "a houre. and
at an early this morning there hour
was no prospect OF let-up in the storm.
The rain came so lightly, though
steadily, that little damage was done in
this city, and the streets were not in
worse condition last night than they
were on the previous evening.
Street Superintendent Howard had
large number OF men at work all day
repairing streets that were torn up by
the rushing torrents, conducting the wa
ter off the streets where it was possible
and watching for fresh breaks.
On Kuhrts etreet, near the approach
TO the bridge, the water broke through
the embankment and threatened to dis
lodge the entire structure for time.
The street department went to the place
and large force OF men and teams soon
repaired the break and made the passage
safe.
The zanja committee OF the council
visited the Busns Vista street bridge
and viewed the place where the zanja
was before the storm. No serious dam

storm is long continued.

Condition of tho Railroads in Southern
California.
All the railroads continue to have
trou Bile with washouts on their differen +
lines and much anxiety exists as to the
outcome OF the present storm. The rain
OF Friday night and again yesterday re-
suited in great damage which in many
instances effectually put stop to the
running of trains. Those lines which
had succeeded in re airing former breaks
were confronted with new ones, and it
required vigilant eye and ready ass
sistance to keep the roado open for
traffic.
ON THE SURF LINE.
Yesterday heavy rains fell over the
entire line OF the Southern Oaliforni q
railway in the mountains and thu val
leys which it traverseS, and resulted in
seven washouts in all districts. The
former washouts which had been re-
paired on the Surf line, near the San
Diego river, were not e-opened, but six
or eeven additional ones occurred be-
tween Ell Toro and Linda Vista. Work
was being pushed on these yesterday
and il ia hoped that the line will be open
by this afternoon. No passengers were
taken for San Diego last night. the even
ing train only running to Santa Ana.
The Escondido branch has suffered
severely and still remains closed. This
will be repaired early next week, but
the attention of the company at present
is given to keeping the main line open
One or two small waehouts have taken
place on the San Jacinto & Temecula
road between Alessandro and Box
Springs. These will be repaired and the
road open by tomorrow. The Kighlan d
loop is reported to be all right and the
Redondo line is also in the same con-
d.tion.

which left this city a. 5 O'Clock Friday
night WAS tied up at San Bernardino

consolidated with the morning overland.
The west bound overland which should
have reached here yesterday morning at
O'Clock, was also tied up at Barstow
and consolidated with the following
overland at O'Clock, arriving here at 6
o'clock laet night. The delay was
caused by washouts in the Cajon pass
and because the track in many places
is covered with debris washed down

 Chicago, May 3.--What promised to be a weak. declining wheat market at the open ing today turned out later to be enzSin- tensely gratifying to the bulls ThSsee were the usual periods of activity and quiet alternating with each other, but the total business for the day was good.

In the sample department trading at steady prices, the nominal close be- ing strong with the futures.
 The output of corn from store during the twcnty-four hours immediate past were very large. The source of the strength that prevailed at the opening of this mar let was traceable to this fact. A feeling of confidence was shown by holders and a firm tone ruled throughout today. July corn opened at49c, sold between 4s7s sg49q5Oc, closing at 495s Il49a4c, ss424c higher than yes terday.

New York, May S.-The Suns cotton re- view says: Cotton fell to 10 points, but regained this, and closed steady with sales of 107, 100 bales. New Orleans declined 6 points, but recovered this and August ad- Yaneed points. Liverpool declined l-32d on the spot, with sales of 10000 bales and futures fell 3 points, closing quiet and steady. The dissolution was announced of the firm of A. N. Setter & Co. Fall River was 1-16c higher. Fall River advances in dicate that New England cotton manu- lecturers have sold freely ahead and fair profits are now assured. The consumption is large and the curtailment of the past two years has prevented an accumulation of stocks. Increased business Is looked for by cotton mill men. In Manchester, cloths were quiet, and yarns in buyers favor Spot cotton here was weak and unchanged with sales of 223 Tor spinning and 800 de- livered on contract. The southern spot markets were generally quiet and un- changed. St. Louis advanced 11-16c. New Orleans receipts tomorrow are estimated at 2600 to 5000, against 5037 last Saturday and 1594 last year.
