MORTGAGE 10 YEARS OLD
A Philadelphia Incumbrancs That No
One Has Ever Sought to
Satisfy.

A sale of property at 213 Fitzwater
street was recently made, and in go
ing back over the old records it was
discovered that a mortgage which
antedated the administration Of
President Washington was still an in
cumbranee on the property, says q
Philadelphia report. The paper was
executed by James Glow and wife n
favor of Archibald Mccall. The con-
sideration named was 333 1-3 Spanish
milled dollars, a coin which was the
standard of value during the revolu-
tionary period. The value of the
milled dollar exceeded by a few cents
the value of the silver dollar now in
use.
Mccall transferred the mortgage in
the year 1874 to John Houck, and 1t
does not appear on the records again
The attorney for the petitioner has
served notice by advertisement on
Houck or his heirs to appear in the
court of common pleas No. / on De
cember 1, and show cause, if any ex-
ist, why the mortgage should not be
satisfied by an order of the court. II
is not anticipated that any defendants
viii appear, but the legal formula
must be gone through with before
the title may be perfected.
Even if any of Mr.. HOuck's heirs
should appear in court it would be
necessary, if they designed making
valid claim for money due, to show
that the debt had been recognized

The Republican Congressional commit

years ago. 1t was with some difficulty
that the committee obtained these rooms.
which are considered as advantageous
as any which could be provided.
The committee may not open up it's
quarters formally until after the Chi
cago convention. At least. very little
Will be done by tn committee prior TO
that time. The time and attention of
Chairman BabcocK are much engrossed
in the Wisconsin fractional fight, and he
will not be able to remain in New York
to manage affairs until after the ma
tional convention. Even after that It Is
probable that Mr.. Babcock will be re-
quired to devote much time TO his own
district, in the event that Governor La
Toilette decides to run another JSepub-
lican candidate there. In that event Il
great deal OF the :. ork Of running the
committee would devolve upon Repre-
sentative OverstTeet. who is the score
tary.

headquarters in Washington, is now en-
gagged in preparing the synopsis Of vari-

LIQUIDATION IN COTTON
SENT PRICES DOWN

NEW YORK, June 6.-The cotton mar
ket started weak. both the old and new
crop positions suffering from a wave Of
liquidation which swept over the mar
ket. The decline was about the same in
both cases. whereas heretofore the old
crop months have been the chief suf-
ferers. The weakness Of Liverpool
cables and a generally favorable
weather map explained the heaviness
OF the early market. Trade was on a
big scale The market for "A time seem
ed more or less demoralized but after
the opening it became evident that more
or less buying was on foot and as a
result there was a fair advance and =.
more cheerful tone.
Later the market quicted down, but
failed 70 develop strength in old or new
crop months. The buying was chiefly
to cover shorts, and as the session pro-
crossed this demand was gradually ap-
peaSed. Wall Street shorts were buyers
Of the old crop months. but, at best, the
market displayed little recuDera tive en-
ergy and was feverishly weak near noon.
