GOSSIP OF THE STREET
FINANCIAL CIRCLES DISCUSS
PROBABLE INSTITUTIONS.
Rumors Regarding Increase in Ma
tional Banks and Formation
Of Trust Company.

There has been quite good deal Of vague
gossip floating about in local financial cir
cles relative to the organization Of q new
financial institution In this city. According
to some the number In the national banks
in this city is to be increased; another
rumor Is that trust company u to be
organized Some Of this talk may no doubt
be attributed to the recent effort which
was made to secure control OF the Traders
National Bank. As stated in The Star, no
further steps have been taken In this con-
nection by those who were supposed to be
contemplating a purchase, and the general
opinion In the street is that nothing further
will be heard in regard to It.
This conjecture Is based partly on tho
quotations Of the Traders Bank stock on
the local exchange. where the best price
for the stock is how $145. while during the
supposed tendency Of the deal 1t was $780,
From the attention which was called to
this matter, it Is thought, has come much
Of the current gossip relative to new In
stitution. for 1t was said then, and Is now
the talked-of deal with the Traders Bank
did not go through those who were credited
with desire to get the control Of the man
,agement of that institution would start q
new bank.
Talk Of Trust Company.
In this connection there is also vague talk
about starting trust company, and while
there are not many details mentioned, 1t Is
stated by some that 1t Is proposed to &C.
,quire the old site Of the Riggs National
Bank. at the northwest corner Of Pennsyl-
ivania avenue and 18th street.
However, 1t IL now asserted that there Is
no substantial foundation for the gossip IN
amy of it's phases. and especially that there
is any prospect Of trust company or any
institution Of like character being located
on the site above mentioned.
It has become known to some who are
presumed to be well posted that the prop
erty in question, as well as the shares in
Riggs National Bank recently purchased
from Mr. E. Francis Riggs by Mr.. John R..
Mclean have now passed into the owner
ship Of men who are interested in the Riggs
Bank. 1t Is therefore concluded that no
disposition will be made of the old bank
property that would in any degree be in
furious to the Riggs interests. Whatever
may be done with that property. and 1t Is
understood no plans have as yet been made
in regard to its future, 1t is thought that
one thing is definitely settled. and that is
nothing that can in any sense be looked
upon as a competitor Of Riggs Bank will
find home on that corner.

Western Railroad company, whose
charter calls for line running from
Ralston, Lycoming county, to point

gineer of the western division of the

York about midnight, delayed by num-
erous wrecks on the main line of the
Erie. The passengers that left New
York at 8 a. IN. Saturday reached
Honesdale al 11.30 p. m. The Delaware
and Hudson trains were about on time
during Saturday.
Honesdale has experienced one of the
old-time snow storms that we so often
hear about from the old settlers. The
snowfall during Friday night alone was
twenty inches. This, added to the al
ready drifted roads, was the means of
completely blocking country roads and
shutting off all traffic. The streets have
changed to mountains of snow and the
uneven condition makes them danger
Gus to travel, the result being many
broken-down sleighs. A sudden thaw,
with the ice gorge and frozen condition
of the LackawaNen, means damage to
property in Honesdale. Preparation is
being made to lessen the danger The
water in Lake Lodore is being drawn
off. Lumbermen place the depth of
snow in the woods at four feet.
Park Schoonover of Passaic, n. j.,
spent Sunday with Honesdale friends.
Clarence Decker, of New York, was
at the home of his parents, on Third
street, over Sunday.
Fire Sunday evening burned out the
roof of a double tenement house occu-
pied by two families, at Carley Brook,
the property of William Penwarden.
Charles e. Mills, of Honesdale, for
merly OF Lake Ariel. who has spent the
past seven weeks at Cornwall-on-the-
Hudson, died at the latter place Sun
day at noon. The remains were brought
to Honesdale on Monday, where the
funeral will be held.
The annual and usual elaborate te
Martha Washington dinner was served
by the ladies of the Presbyterian church

occasions. The decorations We're more

exquisite taste of the decorating COM
mittee. The orchestra was placed be-
hind screen of evergreens, decorated
with cherry blossoms, representing
spring. The fancy booth was decorated
with roses, for summer, The bakery
booth was entwined with grape vines,
bearing many clusters of green and
blue grapes, for autumn. The candy
booth was decorated, for winer. with
snowflakes and icicles. The whole COM

oriental booth and the doll booth, where
the young ladies at the former ana
young misses at the latter made many
sales that helped to swell the receipts.
At this early date the receipts have not
been computed, but 1t is safe TO say
that the net proceeds win exceed $500.
