OHIO BANK IN CRASH.
Federal Trust Co. of Cleveland Assigns
Boston institution CT. Ses Its Doors.

Federal Trust Co. of Cleveland Assigns
Boston institution CT, ~es It's Doors.
UDeaSness caused by tie strange dis
appearance Of George +. Clewcll. its sec
rotary and treasurer. and runlorS that he
had cmbezzled large amount, forced
the assignment of the Federal Trust
Company in Cleveland. News of the
failure caused n panic among the de-
positors OF the Pearl Street Savings and
Loan Company, and a run was begun on
that bank The prominent institutions
downtown. however, rushed coin and cur
rercy to the assistance of the bank and
when the clamOriag crowd of depositors
were admitted they found the counters
piled iigh with silver dollars and smaller
coins. The sight of the great piles of
wealth was magical. and the crowd melt
ed away
The Federal Trust Comps assigned
to the Guardian Truss Company. The
action is said to haYe been taken as n
result OF the disappearance of Clewell
md reports that a shortage had been
found in the funds of the concern.
The company's total assets viii be
about $3.000000. 1t has a capital stock
of S1.500.000. a surplus fund of $4,000
and about 81 40,00Osundivided profits. Ac-
cording TO its last report it had S2,1SS.-
362 in loans and discounts. $4,000 in
real estate loans, and owned $4,000
stocks. bonds aud mortgages.
An agreement practically was reach
ed between the directors of the Federal
Trust Company and the Guardian Trust
Company several days ago. providing for
the merging of the two concerns. The
disappearance of Ciewell. however. pre-
eipitated matters and the directors de-
cided tat an assignment probably would
avoid run on the bank and protect all
interests.
Unable to provide for the unusual de-
niands OF it's deposit0rs. the Union Trust
Company of Boston closed its doors. The
liabilities of the company are placed at
81 ,G00,G00. with nominal assets of about
the same amount. For some time past
depoSitors have been making heavy with
drawals. and the management of the
bank was unable 10 realize on securities
quickly enough to meet these demands.
The Union Trust Company was incorpo-
rated ia 1888. 1t was capitalized ut
100000 and its president is former Con-
gresham William r. Barrett.

One of The misfortunes of garden
lovers is that they frequently plan to
do more work than can be carried On
successfully. Almost every one who
builds house thinks he would like
to have nice garden. and the nice
garden is consequently arranged. But
when it il fonnd. as ii too often is
found, that it requires an expensive
