NEW-JERSEY NEWS.

There are right smart folks in Newark and
innocent New-YOrk financiers need all their wits
about them to cope with some included in that
category as a little story will show. Years
ago a number of far seeing Newark men organ
lied the Fidelity Trust Company. Under able
management it prospered even better than its
creators had anticipated. Recently there was
much talk of launching a rival concern The
promoters of the new company enlisted the aid
of August Belmont, William C. Whitney A. ].

non, Joseph c. Hendrix, John /. Waterbury and
men of similar standing. Everything appeared
to be going along swimmingly and the Union
Trust Company had seemingly come to stay.
building was erected specially for 1t. and
other arrangements were made for doing bust
ness on a large scale. Last Saturday there was
a Transformation scene, however. The Newark
men dissolved the Union Trust Company. and
this is the reason, set forth in THE Newark
Daily Advertiser:
Friends of Newark who withdrew from the
this city. admit that the negotiations with
New-York capitalists were carried on for the pur-
some of the Newark men into that corporation
They chuckle over the smartness OF the NeWark
York fnanciers.
The capital stock of the Fidelity Trust Com
pany was recently increased from S5OOOOO to
81 900 900, and it is said that the Newark cor
porators of the other company obtained the
bulk of the new issue.
Instead of enjoying the joke played at their
expense the New-York financiers have shown
signs of indignation. and of them referred
to the jokers boy fnanciers.' Strange, isn't
1t. how defective is the sense OF humor in some
men?
