1853 YEAR OLD
DEED OFFERED
IN COURT
Document in Fine Parchment
Conveys Philadelphia Prop
erty Held Since 1861.

PHILADELPHIA, April 4.-More
than 100 years after its execution, a
deed to city property on record in
the office of the Recorder of Deeds.
The instrument; still in an excel
lent state of preservation, was
brought to light when search was
made OF title to the present pro
perry. In tracing back the title it
was found that no public record
had ever been made Of the con.
veyance OF. the northeast. corner of
High and Fifth Streets" on MAY
8, 1T61, by Thomas Wharton,
merchant, and his wife, Rachael,
Of the province of Pennsylyania, to
Jacob Barch, shopkeeper. The lot
III this conveyance was 30 feet 6
inches front by 100 feet deep. The
consideration was, 500 pounds, which
is approximately equivalent to
$4,000.
The old deed reached the Re.
corder's office when members of
the Graft family, in Kennett
Square, recently sold the. entire
property for 100000. They deliver.
ed the old Wharton: Barch deed,
which had been in their family since
their ancestor, Barch, had acquired
the property nearly 163 years ago.
The dead is a large and substantial
sheet of fine Old parchment, and
bears in addition to the signatures
OF the granter and grantee those of
two witnesses.
The deed shows that the ground
at the northeast corner of Fifth
and High streets was granted. by
the proprietary . Government of
Pennsylvania on July IL. 1886, to
William Hudson. Upon his death
Hudson left the property to two
granddaughters, Rachael and Su.
sauna 4fedcalf, the former of whom
later was married to Thomas Whar.
ton Subsequently Susanna con.
yeyed her one-half interest in the
property to her sister, retaining a
ground rent of Els a year. This
ground rent later was extinguishe6
and the property was conveyed to
Barch free from that incumbrance.

Add your ten thousand dollars to
this pile of money. We can't steal
from a man after he's dead, any
more than we could while he was
alive. Poganni and Harris will be
surprised to learn that there was
ten thousand dollars more in their
booty than they thought. No one
will ever know that you used the
money Tell the police that the bet
you made today-it's yesterday now

"You have no right to tell the

truth? God has saved you for His
own reasons. Will you defeat His

NEW ANIMAL DISCOVERED

BV Times SpeciaI

By Times Special
BOSTON, July 30.-Some people
call it a Mexican Tynat. and others
term it a Coat Mundi, but all agree
that it is a peculiar looking beast
that is now on its way to the Frank
lin Park Zoo. That is, those who
know anything about the animal.
Those who do are few and far be-
tween in this part Of the country.
The animal was shipped to Mayor
Curley by James Taylor, an officer
in the navy, now in Mexican waters.
The creature is said to have char
acteristics of three distinct animals
the ant-eater, the monkey and the
raccoon. 1t is said not to be a fero-
cious beast, but little is known
about its habits in this part Of the
world.
