The president of the Real Estate Trusi Co of Philadelphia died suddenly, and it was, says Reuter, reported in Anapcial circles, that an investigation of the compliny's and president's affairs disclosed a serious state of things. It is understood that the directors of the company. have pledged themselves for serural million dollars in an effort to preserve the concer. (A moeting of representatives of different banks and trust companies was held on Tuesday for the purpose of deciding whether assistance should be given to the company. According to recent statement the concéra had'an nggré. Rate of 7,500,000 dollars in deposits at ky disposal. The president, Mr. Frank K. Higgle, was treasurer of the board of trustees of the General Assembly of the Presbyterian Church of the United States. The company's

PAID-UP CAPITAL amounted to 1,500,000 dollars, and last March there was a surplus of 1,549,000 dollsins. This 'was found by the public accountant to be pre sect. On March 1 Mr. Higgle's holdings for Presbyterian Board were 960,coo, įdollars in securities and 5,000 dollari in cash. The Real Estate Trust Co. closed its doors at half-past two on Tuesday. It was always cocinidered to be one of the strongest financial institutions in Philadelphia, andis point of standing, it was the second of the trust companies in the city and Mr. Higgle bus been president since its organisation in 1885. A sum of 7,000,000 dollars will be involved by its failure. The The Hongkong Telegraph is the best judge of Common Pleas Court has appointed

close its doors. Mr. Higgle had been engaged in many real estate-deals, and it-is said that he lost millions. The depositors of the com- pany are the First National Bank, the Market' Street National Bank, and the · Franklin. National Bank. The bfficial of these institu- tions state that up to Tuesday they had con- tributed 502,000 dollars in an effort to save the company. They declare that their banks are not involved by reason of the failure.

A RELIGIOUS HUMBUG,

The failua of the Trust Co. has, says "The Mail's" New York correspondent, led to the discovery that the dead president, Mr. Higgle,' who had won unqualified respect as a man of sincere religious convictions and of the highest probity and commercial ability, wán a hypo- ́crite, a reckless speculator, a forger and ́em- bezzler, and a suicide, "The discovery · bas created a painful feeling of uneasiness and anxiety throughout the country, Desperate cadeavours are being made to Sad sufficient support to enable the allure to be annulled and business to be continued. The financial" houses of New York and elsewhem, have been appealed to, but it is doubtful, however, great their anxiety to preserva; the equilibrium of credit, whether it will be found" possible to bolster up the institution in view of the starling disclosures made. Higgle died suddenly on Friday last in the full

ODOUR OF SANCTITY · in which he lived. He was the treasurer of the General Assembly of the Presbyterias. Church, and dozens of funds connected' with. such synade, beards, committees, mission so- cieties, and even Sunday school savings banks. He was a supporter also of innumerable reli gious and philantropic, movemente, and inci. dentally treasurer of them all. So bypocritical was he that he refused to read a Sunday news. paper or ride in a tramway crop the Sabbath. On every occasion be preached the most rigid code of morality, by which, to all appearances, he lived. He took every opportunity to de-. plore the gambling spirit and the hatle to get rich which he declared to be the worst feature of modern finance. Though, ho.is supposed to have died in his bath it is now believed that his end was due to laudanum poisoning. Such was his

that the suddenness of his death did not awaken suspicions. A certifcats of cerebral hemorrhage was readily given, and......al! Phila......, delphia mourned the loss of a model. citizen, 'who in a world full of guile had borne aloft the white standard of morality, “Bis career of prosperity was pointed to as an examples of the fact that honesty pays: There was much discussion regarding the extent to which Pres byterian charities and Philadelphian» institu- tions were likely to benefit by his posthumous munificence. But the accountants who be gan the expected perfasctory task of examining. his affairs immediately discovered a tangle of forgery and fraud. High class securities listed were non-existent, the strong boxes were filled with the worthloss papers of wildcat speculative schemes.
