SHORE, n. C. Nov. 6-There is
sonnet hing singular and remarka Die
about an old clock owned by Mr..
Pete Shermer. For years it has been
set aside as a worthless piece of
property and has not been known to
run or strike until quite recently.
when to the great surprise of the
ia mIly it struck twice and in just two
weeks a member of the family died
A few months later it struck twice
again and in two weeks another
member of the family died. Shortly
afterwards it struck twice again and
in two weeks the third member of the
family died. The family has been
alarmed over the singular occurrence
and can not solve the mystery unless
it be a token of Providence. We
know this to be true story as We
are well acquainted with the facts
and family.
We attended services at Olivet
chapel yesterday. Rev. Mr. Crosland
occupied the pulpit and delivered a
strong and forcible sermon from the
Biblical words, "Here am /, send me- -

After accepting the rectorship OF

h ere Wednesday for his former home,

GROWTH OF TRUST COMPANIES.
How They Have Borne The Test of the
Financial Troub BILE.

From the New York Jou nal of Commerce.
A striking feature Of the financial
situation is the success with which
the larger and better class of trust
Companies has borne the long and
severe pressure that caused so many
fail Ires of banks and other financial
institutions and business houses. The
trust company is of comparatively re-
cent origin as an important factor in
the financial situation, and this is the
first time that it's stability as one of
the great financial institutions of the
country has been subjected to the
test of long siege Of panic and de-
preston. When the Comptroller of
the Currency first collected statis-
ceived reports from thirty-five compa-
MES in the five States.
From 1885 to 1892 the number of
trust companies officially reported
increased from So to 16S, or nearly five
fold, while the number of National
banks was less than doubled. The
capital stock of trust companies in
creased nearly four-fold, while that of
National banks did not increase fifty
per cent The deposits of trust com
panies increased nearly fivesold in
this PERIOD while the combined de-
pOsits of National, State and Savings
banks increased less than three-fold.
In view of the remarkable growth
of trust companies during the past
decade, relatively more rapid than
that of National, State and Savings
banks, it was an interesting question
how they would stand such a pressure
as that of the past few months. The
test is generally regarded as a very
creditable one. There has been no
cause for alarm or distrust affecting
any of the CtruSt companies of this
city, and at all the money centres
they have shown strength and stabfl-
ity and control of their resources COM
pairing favorably with that of the
banks.
The showing made by the trust
companies has been such as to prove
that not only many of the most prof
liable lines of banking business have
been diverted to them, but many of
the safest and otherwise most deSir-
able. The showing made in compar-
iso1 with that of the banks and other
financial institutions is regarded as
favorable and creditable one.
