II We have this morning the painful tasl,
of announcing the death of STEPHEN
GIRARD, Esq banker of this city, who
died Monday afternoon, between 3 and
4 o'clock.
1 Mr.. Girard was, we believe, n native
Of Bordeaux, in France, and, at very
early period, he embraced sea-faring
life. He came to this country consid-
cradle time before the American revolu-
tion, and resided in this city for upwards
of fifty years.
/ Up to the year 1911, Mr.. Grad was
exclusively engaged in commerce, which
he pursued with unwearicd and success
ful industry. But when the Congress of
that year committed an act of political
suicide, by destroying the charter of the
Old Bank Oft the United States, or, what
amounted to the same thing, refused to
renew it, Mr.. r.Grardpurchased the build
ing which belonged to the institution, and
commenced the business of a banker.
The hberaIity and good faith with which
he conducted the banking establishment,
and the immense benefit he thereby af-
fOrded to commerce, are well known 10
this community. OF late years, Mr.. Cir
ard has improved and cmbcllished our
city by vast number ofelcgant and sub
stan,iaI buildings In the year 1893,
when the yellow fever first made its ap-
pearance and spread its ravages through
the city, Mr.. Girard was constant at
Bush Hill Hospital, regardless ofperson-
al danger, attending the sick and dying,
and using his best efforts to stay the rag
ing pcstilencc.
Mr.. Girard has left the largest fortune,
perhaps, in the new world. In what
manner he has dispoeed of it, is, ofcourse,
not yet made known. His loss will be
deeply felt by our city, particularly by
the commercial part of the community.

The steam boat Benjamin Franklin is
withdrawn from the line for the season,
having completed her l46,h trip; and we
take this occasion to remark, that she, as
well as the President, has run through
the whole of the past season without sus-
tanning any accident, or without missing
a single trip; fact which, when we con-
slider the unprecedented number of trips
made by these boats, (the President hav-
ing made 1867 and also the thick wealth
er and gales which they necessarily have
to encounter on this exposed route, may
he truly said to be remarkable.
