DEITY TRUST COMPANY-ITs SOL
vENCY DECLARED.
Buffalo. Oct. IA run on the Fidelity Trust
Company a State banking institution. began
to-day. A long line of anxious depositors. reach
Ing from the tellers windows into the
street. stood for hours waiting to withdraw
their money from the bank Extra paying tell
ers were installed and their windows were
kept open until o'clock. In order to pay as
many checks as possible.
Prominent bankers and business men say the
rumor that caused the run is groundless and
that only small depositors are withdrawing their
accounts. Several large deposits were made
during the day by business houses whose con-
idence in the stability of the bank is unshaken,
and large sums of money were sent to the
Fidelity company's officers by local banks The
Erie County Savings Bank voluntarily turned
over $25O.OOO in cash to the Fidelity Trust Com
pany. The Marine Bank also sent in 100000.
The money was accepted. but not loan.
President Forman informed the two banks that
the Fidelity company needed no assistance.
New-York drafts for S250.OOO and 100000 were
at once sent to the two institutions for their
cash At the close of business to-day President
Forman stated that the Withdrawals exceeded
the deposits by only $4,000,
Frequently days business shows this bal
ance, so there nothing unusual in to-day s
transactions except in the number of people
who were waited The Fidelity Trust Com
pany is not a member of the Clearing House
Association. and therefore the Clearing House
is under obligations to render any assistance
to it. Nevertheless, an official offer of assist
ance was made to President Forman by the
Clearing House to-day. President Forman re-
ceived the offer with expression Of thanks.
but declined to accept it. saying that the bank
needed no assistance.

We have. therefore. placed no obstacles IN tho
way OF the contractors. and have given TO them
every accommodation that we thought right.
