Hunting creek. This was a fatal blow
10 the growth OF the new city. IN
order to reach the industrial center"
IL was necessary TO walk several miles.
The effect was almost startling. The
cottages were soon deserted. the hotel
became guestless and the factories shut
down.
IN a short time fire destroyed the
spoke factory. and TO-DAY the dismantlcd
broom factory and the dnapidated hotel
building are all that remain of a gi-
gantic boom movement which at one
time bid fare to make its promoter one
Of the great financial magnates Of
America. but which proved in the end
10 be nothing more than a mushroom
city. where tho money OF thousands
OF depositors in the Real Estate Trust
Company disappeared as though I'm a

II now develops that Nipple stole the
money of the 10000 depositors of the
bank not only to aid the Philadelphia
promoter SegaI l his various enter

Once me made loan of $4,000 TO him
self, and as security he gave the trust
company per cent gold bonds of the
Washington. Alexandra and Mt. Yer
non Electric Railway Company. which
had been fully paid OF and were conse-
quently not worth the paper they were
printed on
The $4,000 bonds OF the Washington.
Alexandra and Mt. Vernon Electric
Company were worth their fun value
when issued. but the entire issue had
been laid Off when Hippla gave
20 the bank as security for HIS loan.
II was the first issue of per cent
bonds, and having been paid of, was
absolutely worthless. The next issue
OF bonds. the 5s. are still running and
selling at about par.
StupendOus Bond Swindle.
At another time he took Sls3. 600. giving
as security $4,000 face value bonds OF
the Alexandra Land and River I'M
provement Company. which was build
tnE New Alexandria. This IS the town
that It was his ambition 10 own. The
bonds were worth possibly a scant SlO,-

discovery OF these bonds that revealed

as the religious lnancier from Phila-
