derbil'lts, the Goulds, he Astors-every
body knows about. The New York SUI
has got together an interesting colec
tion Of stories about the rich men o
other cities, men who have not such q
national reputation. There is no one ii
Philadelphia according to The sun, who
is particularly not d for his wealth. The
average Pbiladelphinn would be puzzl'
to tell who are the richest citizens, but
IN Third street, where the brokers are
accustomed to sizing up fortunes, the
| wealth est men are reported TO be Mr..
William Weighmnn, Mr.. Frank Drxel
and MIR, L. v Williamson. These geu-
ilemen are supposed TO he worth $40,
| 600 600 or $l2, 900. 000 each. 1t is curi
