Article Text

50 AND 25 YEARS AGO at the doors of the Trust Company of America at 3 o'clock this morning, and, as the day dawned, the number in line increased. With the London market strong and a general advance from one to three points in the entire list, the New York market took hope. However, the Twelfth Ward Bank and the Hamilton Bank suspended this morning. A run was started on the Lincoln Trust Company and at 9:30 a crowd of depositors gathered in front of the doors and were forced to form a line. At 10 o'clock the doors opened and a run began. The contract for the construction of an eight-room school house, to be erected in DeSoto, has been awarded to Contractor Hager, of this city. The price is $15,000. The building will be one of the consolidated schools and well constructed of brick and stone.
