THE STRANGERS GUIDE TO THE CITY OF BALTIMORE.
RIGHTS OF MARRIED WOMEN .- A married woman may acquire, hold and manage sepa- rate real and personal estate without the intervention of a trustee, free from liability for the debts of her husband, unless the same be acquired from the husband in prejudice of his creditors ; but such separate property is liable for her own debts. She must convey real or personal estate by joint deed with the husband, but may devise the same by last will and testament as if she were a feme sole; she may relinquish dower by separate deed, or jointly with her husband. A married woman insuring the life of her husband may, upon his death. receive the amount of the insurance for her own use, free from any claim of the legal representatives or creditors of the husband.
An obligation to bind the separate estate of a married woman in equity must show upon its face some evidence of the intent to charge the estate, or there must be evidence aliunde tending to prove snch intent.
By act of 1872, a married woman can be sued jointly with her husband on a note. bill of exchange, ete., contract or agreement executed jointly with him ; judgments in such cases may be collected as if defendants were not husband and wife.
INTEREST .- The legal rate of interest is six per cent. per annum. The legislature has power to provide otherwise. Usurious contracts cannot be enforced for the excess above the legal rate.
TAX LAW .- By the Maryland code, all real and personal property, all chattels, real and personal, in fact, eyery description of property, is liable to assessment and taxation, except as therein exempted, General schedules of all property and things liable to assessment and taxation, and also of all exemptions, will be found in Art. 81, secs. 2, 3, and 4 of that code. No person, who is not assessed to the amount of fifty dollars, is required to pay tax-there being no poll tax in the State The state comptroller is charged with the superintendence and enforcement of the prompt collection of all taxes.
EXECUTION OF WILLS .- To make a valid will of real estate, a party must be, if a male, of the age of twenty-one years, and if a female, eighteen years, and of sound and disposing mind and capable of executing a valid deed or contract ; such wills must be attested and subscribed, in the presence of the testator, by at least three credible witnesses.
Wills of personal property are valid without witnesses
MORTGAGES-Are executed, acknowledged, and recorded as deeds. They contain a power, authorizing sale on non-fulfillment of conditions. In the city of Baltimore, under a public local law, a decree for sale is first obtained before sale, from the court of equity ; trustee is appointed by court, and gives bond, advertises property for sale, and reports to court after sale for ratification. In the counties, the mortgagee or other person named in deed, sells under the power in mortgage, after notice by publication, also bonds before sale, and reports his sale to court of equity on ratification.
CHATTEL MORTGAGES-Are in use, and in practice are tantamount to bills of sale.
TRUST DEEDS-In the nature of mortgages, arc unnsual.
AFFIDAVITS .- No particular form is required for ordinary affidavits. They may be made before a notary public, or a commissioner of deeds for Maryland. The official character should be carefully authenticated ; the affidavit in attachment cases and under act of 1864, (an act for dispatch of business in the Baltimore eity courts in obtaining judgment with- out delay at rule days : see court calendar for Maryland) must be as stated under Proof of Claims above.
RECORDING .- Deeds and mortgages must be recorded within six months from date in the county or eity in which the land affected lies ; and when acknowledged and recorded, shall take effect as between the parties from date. Any deed, except mortgages, may be recorded after the time, and when so recorded shall have, as against the grantor, etc., and against all purchasers with notice, and against creditors of grantor become so after recording, the same validity as if recorded in time. Registration of deed imports notice to all ; and actual knowledge of an unrecorded deed is equivalent to registration. Regis- tration of a deed defectively acknowledged cannot affect a bona fide purchaser without notice.
DEEDS .- No estate of inheritance or freehold, or any declaration or limitation of use, or any estate for above seven years, shall pass or take effect, unless the deed conveying the same shall be executed, acknowledged, and recorded as hereinafter provided, and all such deeds shall be acknowledged before some one of the following officers :
If acknowledged within the State, the acknowledgment may be made before a justice of the peace, judge of the orphans' court or of the circuit court of any county, or before the judge of the superior court, court of common pleas, or circuit court for Baltimore city, If acknowledged before a justice of the peace within the State, but out of the county or city in which the real estate or any part of it lies, the official character of the justice must be certified to by the clerk of the circuit or superior court under his official seal.
If acknowledged without this State, but within the United States, the acknowledgment may be made before : 1st, a notary public ; 2d, a judge of any court of the United States ; 3d, a judge of any court of any State or territory having a seal ; 4th, a commissioner of this State to take the acknowledgment of deeds.
If acknowledged without the United States, the acknowledgment may be made before any minister or consul of the United States ; any notary public or a commissioner of this State to take acknowledgment of deeds.
Every officer, before whom any acknowledgment shall be made, shall give a certificate thereof, and endorse on, or annex to the deed, such certificate, and the certificate shall be recorded with the deed.
To every certificate of acknowledgment taken without this State, before a judge of any court having a seal, the seal of such court shall be affixed.

The certificate of acknowledgment shall contain the name of the person making the acknowledgment ; the official style of the officer taking the acknowledgment; the time when it was taken, and a statement that the grantor acknowledged the deed to be his aet, or made an acknowledgment to the like effeet.
No separate examination of a married woman is required.
All deeds conveying real estate, which shall contain the names of the grantor and grantee, or bargainor or bargainee, a consideration, in cases where a consideration is necessary to the validity of a deed, and a description of the real estate, sufficient to identify the same with reasonable certainty, and the interest or estate intended thereby to be conveyed, shall be sufficient, if executed and acknowledged as above, and duly recorded within the prescribed time as above stated. Where the land lies in more than one county, or in the city of Baltimore and a county or counties, the deed must be recorded in each of them.
Every deed conveying real estate shall be signed and sealed by the grantor or bargainor, and attested by at least one witness.
No words of inheritance are necessary to create an estate in fee-simple. The word "grant" in a deed is sufficient to convey the whole interest and estate of the grantor in the lands therein named. The words "bargain and sell" are sufficient in a bill of sale or mortgage of personal property. A scroll answers for a Seal.

C. W. BENTLEY & SONS, No. 25 South Front Street, Near Baltimore Street Bridge, BALTIMORE, MD. Make a Specialty of
STEAM BOILERS,
Oil Tanks, Lard Kettles, SOAP PANS, SUGAR PANS, BATH BOILERS, SMOKE STACKS, OIL STILLS, STORAGE TANKS, GAS HOLDERS,
AND EVERY VARIETY OF PLATE IRON WORK.
Our Works have recently been fitted with new and very expensive Machinery, whereby a GREAT IMPROVEMENT is effected in the manufacture of BOILERS, TANKS, &c., producing more close and perfect workmanship with greater rapidity and less cost. All plates are PLANED to the proper bevel for caulking, so that the objectionable practice of splitting the edges of plates to save the expense of chipping the bevel by hand is avoided, and LESS PRESSURE is required in caulk- ing to make the work tight. THE PUNCHING is done so perfectly exact as not to require the use of Drift-pin or Reamer, consequently the seams of Boilers are less liable to crack by use and greater safety and durability is obtained.
The process of Chipping although much better than that of Splitting, is also objectionable. It is difficult to bevel the edge of a plate of boiler-iron and carry the chisel so nicely as not to cut or injure the lower plate more or less. In this way a Channel is often cut entirely through the Skin of the Iron, which renders the Plate weak at the point of the greatest strain. Experiments show that a slight channel cut across a Bar or Plate of Iron greatly weakens it. This objection we have also done away with by the introduction of our Plate-Planer. The only one in Baltimore except at the Baltimore and Ohio Rail Road Shops for private use.
