FALLS HSIR TO 4 FORTUNE.

Miss King. 05 Years Old. WIN Receive
Money From the Investment OF an
Aunt Long Dead.
Rebecca King. living At No 3O2 West
street Ia 1871 died very suddenly during
August OF that year. 10 was not pre-
sumed that she had any property, it
being generally understood that she was
maintained by the help OF Miss
Mary Simmons and Mrs 3 +, DUPONT
Il now appears that, after an interval Of
twenty Eve years, that she owned certain
shares Of the capital stock Of
tho Union National Bank. This
was brought about by an investigation
set on foot BY Cashier John II. Danby by
reason OF the accumulation OF unclaimed
dividends on the stock This makes
quite a sum OF money due to her estate.
II seems that the only heir Is n niece,
Miss Ellen King, 80 years old, residing
in West Chester Letters will be
taken out on the estate, and after
the usual legal formalitiss have
been gone through with. the divi-
depds and certificates Of stocks will be
turned over to Miss King, giving her
fortune Of several thousand dollars.

ting All of It-He VIII Foot the De-

hut j. Edward Addlcks seems 20 BE Cut
ting All of It-He VIII Foot the De-
linquent Tax bills.
j. Edward Addlcks, the Claymont gas
king. has announced his intention OF
supplying the money to pay the taxes Of
delinquent Republican voters Ia New
Castle county. Since January the mem
bers OF the Republican county Committee
a msjority OF whom were Higgins follow
ers, have promised the representatives OF
the outside districts thai the money
needed to pay this indebtedness would be
furnished, and In several Of the lower
hundreds dates were fixed In January
and February to deliver the cash The
dates pAssed by but the money never
materialized.
At the last mes ling Of the County
Committee, Chair an Fred Eden Bach
stated that The Du FONT matter would DO
surely settled by March 10, and that
then .he money would be forthcoming He
gave ss a reason for the money not being
forthcoming that Colonel Dupont had
not been seated, aud that the
friends OF that gentlemen who had
promised TO furnish the money had
refused to make good their promiss
until such time ss the goods purchased
the seat In the Senate was forthcom-
ing. 10 the course Of his remarks Mr..
Bach said that he knew the Democratic
papers would get full account OF what
he said. intlmatlng that there was a spy
In camp.
The taxes for the lower hundreds OF
New Castle promised by March 10 at the
furthest, have not as yet been sent, and
Bince there has been shown, on the part of
the Higgins managers, q disposition to
neglect the party interests. Mr.. Addicka
has decided TO furnish the funds. which
will amount to about 80 600 The Addlcka
men prsdicted all along that the Higgins
managers could not put mp the cash nee
essary to pay these taxes, aud they are
correspondlngly jubilant.
This non action on the part Of the
Dupont men has caused considerable
dissatisfaction among the party workers
IN the rural hundreds, as they consider
that they have not only been
unfairly used, but have been
deceived. Il ls said that Colonel
DUPONT. had agreed 70 contribute
bis frst years salary, 81 600. TO the cam

itement editorlslly that the Whining
banks are sbcrt of funds and have

nodate their customers and adds that
the deposits have fallen of some $780,
600 since this time last year. This con
dition of affairs would be far from
pleasant II true. but that 1t really does
exist is not the fact
A reporter Of the EVENING JOURNAL
called on several officials Of the local
banks for the purpose of sscertainiDg the
condition Of things in their institutio as,
and was met with denial that any such
falling of In deposits had occurred, and
although there WAS and Is, shortage OF
funds. that is the result OF the banks
putting out larger sums, interest being
higher than for some time. President
James P. Winchester, Of the First
National in answer TO questions said:
"Our bank has enough money. nor has
there been any falling of In depsits dur
ing the past quarter. II you will COM.

you will see that our deposits have in

There may be scarcity OF money In
some of the banks but this is due TO the
fact that the rate Of interest Is high and
It is business to put out all the money
possible to the best advantage. AS to Dor
rowing money, it frequently happens that
one bank will borrow OF another when
occasion arises for immediate use for
such money. II does not denote that
the bank is unable to accommodate its
customers any more than the fact that a
merchant cannot change big bill or
pay a small one on demand Indicates
that he is not able to do so. There Is no
danger of any of the banks running short
Of funds, and you will have no good
cause to lay awake nights fearing any

President Augustus McCaulley, Of
