Fosteria, o., home of ex-Secretary of
United States Treasury Charles Foster
and head of the banking house of
Foster & Co, says the firm has assigned.
Great excitement prevailed in Fosteria.
FOsTERIA, Ohio, May 2O.-Ex-Secre-
tary Charles Foster has failed and made
an ass gnment.
He tmassed wealth by shrewd invest
ments in real estate and in 1879 when
lected governor Of Ohio, was reputed
to be worth a million dollars. During
the next four years he lost heavily in
speculation, and lost by endorsing notes
for business and political friends. Since
then be has attempted TO recoup his
Losses but only became more deeply
involved.
The crash was temporarily averted by
his appointment as secretary of the
treasury. 1t is thought that he will, at
best, not be able to more than pay his
debts.
According to latest issue of the
Bankers Almanac the Foster banking
company has capital of $4,000; sur
illus $1,000, undivided profits $1,000.
