RUINED BY HIS SONS.

Story of the Downfall of millionaire
Scranton OF New Haven, Conn.
In the quaint village of Madison, a few
miles from New Haven, Conn, may be seen
almost daily, driving an ox-cart or hoeing in
field, a venerable old man of 80 years, who
was not long ago millionaire, a railway
president and promoter of great enter
pTises.
Twenty years ago Serene II. Scranton was
the most influential man in New Haven
County and was President of the Shore Line
Railway, which he built. Establishing his
son, Edward s., ia the private bank OF 4. S.
Scranton d Co., he went to Louisiana, where
lie had contracts to build a railway.
This bank closed its doors in 1873 and the
sons failure swept away the splendid fort
une Of the father. The senior Scranton re-
turned and began life over again on the
little farm where he had worked as boy
sixty years ago. He did the hardest kind Of
farm labor and for a decade had sOlaced
himself with the thought that although one
son had failed the other son would retrieve
the fortune of the house and lift up again
the name OF Scranton in the financial world.
Then a few days ago came the crash
which wrecked the bank of Scranton q
Bunnell, Of which his second son was senior
member.-St. Louis Star Sayings.
