been in possession of the facts in
the case for several days but the story
was not ready TO be given to the pub
lie until now.
Morgantown has much to expect from
this Trust company. Scores of man
ufacturing plants want to locate here.
They can be materially aided by the
concern. There is one of the finest
fields in the country for such an in.
stitution in this city and the tributa-
ry country.
Mr.. Murphy of the company is a
very modest man and one easy to ap-
| proach. He talked very entertaining
ly of the plans of the institution for
the advancement Of this city and pins
his faith on the development of this
valley for the results anticipated.
He has made a signal success In
financial matters in Pittsburg and is
identified with some .of the biggest
and strongest financial institutions of
that city.
Along the lines of this consoida-
tion it is reported that plans are on
foot for the consolidation of two of
the other banks of town in one
concern which will be much stronger
than they are at present. These
plans are not ready for publication
yet.
Mr.. Murphy states that there is no
reason why the company organized
here should not do equally as well.
f1horn 10 Aald IN ha
ated. The institution is to be made
the strongest banking concern in the
state.
1t is the only Trust Company south
of Pittsburg except one in Fairmont
which is rather land company and
is not engaged in the banking bust
ness. Morgantown and the Mononga-
hela Valley is rapidly developing into
the greatest manufacturing district of
the world and it is to get the business
offered here that the Trust company
is to start into business.
Three hundred Thousand dollars Of
the capital stock has been subscribed
and one hundred thousand of it has
issued. Fifty thousand is authorized |
to be issued to the stockholders of the
citizens bank If they desire it. The
opportunity Of getting in on the
ground floor in an enterprise such as
this is expected to prove will attract |
the majority of them.
No more stock will be issued for a
time at least until the plans now On
foot are matured.
The bank has twenty year lease
on the property which it occupies and
for the present at least the Trust
company will do business In the same
building. Eventually IL is expected |
that these quarters will prove too
cramped for the volume of business
to be transacted.

The Federal Savings and Trust
Company is buying the stock OF the
Citizens National Bank of Morgan
town. Much of the stock has al
ready been purchased and the rest
will be taken up shortly. Options
on all Of it have been secured.
A meeting of the directors of the
bank resulted in recommendation
being made by that body to the
stock of the bank that they
sell to the Trust Company. This
is being done very rapidly.
Mr.. James Murphy of Sheridan is
carrying forward the negotiations
having been here some days engag-
e6 on it. He is president of the
Trust Company which was recently
organized among business and finan-
cial men of this place and Pittsburg.
One hundred and fifty dollars a
share is being paid for the stock of
the bank. The stockholders are
given the option of taking this in
cash or of taking an equal number
of shares of stock in the Trust Com
pany at 100.
Fifty thousand dollars is the cap
ital of the bank. 1t has surplus of
twelve thousand and has been doing
business for a little over Is months.
William Moorehead is president of
the concern and d. c. Hoffman is
cashier. 1t is regarded as one of
the strongest and best managed
banks in town.
Efforts were made to purchase
the Bank of the Monongahela Val
ley before this deal was put on foot
but so far the arrangements have
not been perfected.
1t is expected that the Trust Com
pany will be ready to open its doors
for business by the first of October
The intention is to continue the
Citizens Bank as before but to run
it in connection with the Trust Com
pany.
The new concern has an author
lied capital of half a million dollars.
1t is backed by the Federal Nation
al Bank of Sheridan. Mr.. Murphy
the head of the concern is identi-
fled with this bank and with the
Colonial Trust Company of Pitts
burg which has been so very sue
cessful. The Colonial company or
ganized last February and the stock
was issued at $50 1t is now selling
on the Pittsburg exchange at 500
The negotiations looking toward
the absorption of this bank have been
kept very close and few people outside
of those directly interested know that
they are in progress. This paper has

Big Return s ON Investments.

No portion of town offers such ex.
ceptional advantages as the addition
owned by J. L. Smith at the south
end of the First Ward. The lots
face a beautiful view, they are well
located, have every modern conven
fence in the way of water, gas and
sewerage. The trolley line runs
through the addition. The Wire
Glass factory and Pump Station ad
join it. Residences to accommodate
the employees of these plants are in
great demand The lots are sold on
easy terms making it possible for
every one to purchase one or more
of them. No addition in town will
prove more profitable to investors

whether the union leaders acted too

of those people is pitiable and some

ALL
I'VE are tired of tooling with the
union. We have tried it for long
time. Every thing that the union
has asked us has been done and
still they strike They have gone
out on us several times but this
time they went out for the last
time
They can now stay out. While
we have been working as they want
ed us to do we have lost thousands
of dollars. Now we will see how
much we will lose under the new
plan
s'The union does not live up to its
own rules. The men walked out
the other morning and left the glass
in the pots to be ruined.
"Union labor may be all right If
the men who run it will act in ac-
cordance with their own laws but
when they won't even live up to their
rules we have no protection against
a continuance of the same troubles
we have been experiencing
F" We will get men enough to run
the factory as we want it run and
then we will run it to suit ourselves
If we can't do this the factory will
remain closed indefinitely
"The men object to Cleis. They
want the boss whom we discharged
re instated. We will not do this as
he did not get the production he
should, he did not know how to
make glass and he belonged to the

his resignation was requested. Cleis
