The announcement of the closing o
the doors Of the Chestnut Street Nation
al Bank and the Chestnut Street Trust
and Saving Fund Company, of which
William NJ. Singerly, editor of the Phla.
delphia Record, is president, caused a
surprise to the local readers Of that
paper. While the failure of these in
situations is not known to affect any one
here, the matter has been considerab bly,
discussed locally, due to the prominence
of Mr.. singerly's paper and himself.
During his campaign as a Democrat C
candidate for governor in 1894 he
delivered short address at the Lehigh
Valley station in Freeland.
The failures have brought hardships
to many people in Philadelphia, for,
besides being depositary for national,
state and city funds, the bank carried
the savings of thousands of families and
small merchants. Mr.. Singerly, how
ever, announces in his characteristic
style that every dollar owed will be paid,
and those who know the man believe he
will do it. The Record plant is untouch-
ed by the disaster and its earning power
is tremendous, it having cleared s3lO, 900
in 1896, and through it the debts will be
liquidated.
Mr.. Singerly is one of the most sue
cessful newspaper publishers in the
country and his paper was until few
years ago known as the most aggressive
in Pennsylvania in battling for reforms
Singerly entered the banking business
heavily after, the burning of his Temple
theatre, the handsomest playhouse ever
erected in America, which took place
nearly ten years ago. On its site the
closed bank and trust company were
located in a building which attracts
much attention through its architectural
beauty. He became a banker against
the advice of many personal friends,
who feared the communicating influence
of this class, and their fears that his in
dependence and aggressiveness would be
curbed through his bank have been long
ago realized.
Readers of the Rec0rd are aware that
the paper today is not the fearless expo
nent of right that it was some years ago,
and this remarkable change is due to
the influence brought to bear upon
Editor Singerly in his position as banker
The story of how the Rec0rd was muzzled
and why it perpleXes its readers by taking
strange positions in the politics of
Pennsylvania and Philadelphia is too
long to tell in these columns. While
Mr.. Singerly's friends sympathize with
him. they also hope the failure will prove
a blessing in taking one good man out of
the banking circle and placing him again
at the head of the reform movements of
the day.

Tigers Ninth Annual Ball.

No ball for some years past has been
better prepared for than the one to be

The New Years Eve balls of this organi-

previous efforts of the club. Immeda-

STREET RAILWAY EXTENSIONS.
Opposition to Track Laying Oh Myrtle
Avenue Electric Lines.

The proposed transfer of the Magoffiu
avenue street car track to Myrtle ave-
nue. is raising Il chorus of. objections
| from residents on the latter avenue who
| want it to remain free from street rail-
way or any other kind of tracks. Floyd
Payne says BE was intending to buy ad-
ditional property on the avenue re-
Gently, but when he heard that the
street car company was proposing to
lay tracks there, he called the deal Off.
He with other residents want the street
to remain free from such things, and
keep il an open avenue.
The projectors of the new liue are
trying to see their way clear to using
electricity, as they believe that with
electric cars running the patronage
will be quadrupled over what it is now.
The idea is to use the narrow guage
tracks with standard guage car bodies.
The Denver Tramway company has
for years had this style of system in
successful operation. Standard guage
tracks are all rig ht-On steam railways
where the cars are of such large dimen-
siOns; but the Denver people held that
it was nonsense to take up so much of
the street as would be nece ssary if
standard guage tracks were used. So
narrow guage tracks were put in, with
narrow guage trucks ana standard
guage car bodies. and the wisdom of this
scheme has since been amply justified.
The cars ride just as steadily DIS though
they were mounted on standard
guage trucks, aud that much more of
the road way is preserved for teams
The Ell Paso Street Railway people
will use the trolley, though there has
been some talk of the third rail. This
last has been found to be the cheapest
and more economical in every way,
and the dangers at first experienced
have been avoided by the development
of the system along safe lines.
A mem Der of the company in con-
vers alton with HERALD reporter
said that an electric car lIoe to Fort
Bliss would in his estim alton pay, and
especially would such line to Ysleta.
He hal had this last matter in mind
for some time, and claimed that a
great patronage would be worked up
between Ell Pa5o and Ysleta. Peoplu
down the valley would be travelling up
and down all the time.

myrtle avenue is all the street in

now the greedy car corporation want to

they lay the track they will not ruu

Myrtle avenue is now two feet below

looks like the citizens of Ell PasO could
have one street free from unused car

would be doing better business in

annulling some of the present franchises
