Syracuse, Jan burglars at
work in the Roman Catholic Cattle
dral of the Immaculate Conception,
on ST. Mary's Circle, early this morn
ing, set fire to the church and only
the timely discovery of the flames
prevented serious confagration.
The men entered the Cathedral
some time during the day or early
morning yesterday and secreted them
selves until after the doors were lock
ed, which was shortly before mid
night They forced the doors Of the
poor-boxes and robbed them Of their
contents. They ransacked the vest
ment cases and visited all parts of
the church looking for articles of
value.
The thieves used church candles to
find their way to the cellar. and while
prowllng about in the basement they
in some manner set fire to the cell
ing, The men fed, evidently without
attempting to extinguish the blaze.
The sexton arrived at the church con
siderably earlier than usual this
morning and discovered the blaze
The fire department put out the blaze
which had burned through the floor
of the sanctuary after about 5000
damage was done The thieves got
away with about 500 in money and
articles OF various kinds.

A Sound and Growing Saving Bank

A Sound and Growing Saving Bank
That every Savings Bank in Yer
mont is a sound one there can be no
question Of a doubt. The confidence
placed in our home institutions is evil
denced by the recently published re-
port of Bank Commissioner f. c..
Williams, which shows a gain in
deposits for the past year by nearly
every savings institution; and, II
banks increase in deposits is emblem
attic of its soundness and strength,
then the old Marble Savings Bank Of
Rutland occupies a leading position.
Its 5Sth semi-annual statement at the
close of business December Both 1911,
has lust been issued. The institution
shows a splendid gain in deposits for
the year ended and is in prosperous
condition.
Within the past four years this
savings bank has gained in net depos-
its which means taking out the inter
est added to the accounts, upwards OF
half a million dollars. During this
time it has gone from the ninth pos
ition in size, among the twenty-one
savings banks of the state, to the
slxth,-certainly a showing gratifying
to officers, trustees and patrons alike.
Nearly all the money invested by
the Marble Savings bank is placed in
first mortgages on farms, or real es-
tate. 1t is the safest security on
earth. and in the more than quarter
of a century of existence of this saw
ings bank not dollar has ever been
lost on a farm loan.
Besides this careful management OF
it's affairs, governed by directors who
direct" the Marble Savings bank car
ries a large reserve, or surplus, fund,
which, together with interest on in
yestments, amounts to over s per
cent OF its total deposit, being in ex-
cess OF the amount necessary by law
in paying 4 per cent interest on de-
posits
As evidencing the safety of making
deposits by mail, it may be stated that
in the years Of business of the Mar
BILE Savings bank, not a dollar in
transit has ever been lost by either
bank or depositor It is perfectly
safe to make deposits by personal
check bank draft, postofiice money
order, or express money order, with
