MORTGAGE, LONG MISSING, FOUND.
Document Mislaid for Eighteen Years Turns
up. B. Colgate Has 1t Cancelled.

A mortgage which has been missing since 1873
and which was found yesterday was cancelled
in the Supreme Court at White Plains by Jus
tice Keogh. The mortgage was for $1OO, 900.
James II. Banker, and his wife, Ellen Josephine
Banker. in 1873 bought of J. B. Colgate forty
acres Of land on Broadway, Irvington- on the
Hudson, and when the sale was completed Col
gate took mortgage of 100000 on the prop
erty. 1t is said that at the time Banker had
lost heavily in the stock market.
In 1874 Banker decided the property to Corne-
lius Vanderbilt Mr.. Vanderbilt died in 1873 and
left the property to his son. William II. Wander
bllt. william II. Vanderbilt died in 1885, and
he bequeathed the property. with other real
estate, TO his two sons. Cornelius and William
X Vanderbilt.
That year, 1885. Colgate started an ac-
ton against Banker and the Vanderbts TO fore
close the mortgage, and in June 1886, he secured
judgment against the defendants. The prop
erty, however. was never sold to satisfy the
judgment, and II is said that an agreement was
entered into that the mortgage be cancelled
This agreement dated February, 1883
Then IT was that the mortgage could not be
found, and despite the fact that both sides had
been looking for II ever since, It never turned up
until yesterday when it was produced in court
and Justice KeOgh granted order can
ceiling IT.
