CLOSES ITS DOORS. j
Presbyterian money involved
(Hinted That President Hippie's Death
Friday Was Not Natural and That
He Had Made False Statements Re
garding Bank's Condition.
t Philadelphia, Aug. 29. The Real
(Estate Trust company, organized In
J885, the depository for nearly a
million dollars of the lunds or the
a'resbyterlan church and holding $300,
00O of the money of the city of I'hlln
.phlii and $175,000 or state deposits,
closed Its doors. The failure was
caused by heavy loans made by the
late president, Frank K. Hippie, to
vAdolf Segal, promoter, on InsuIUclent
security. A desperate effort was made
to save the Institution by the board of
directors through an appeal to the
'Clearing house association, but that
ibody declined to subscribe u guarantee
fund of $7,000,OUU, because or Insuffi
cient security.
Tito liabilities nro placed at $10,
'000,000, with quick assets of $;t,r00,0u0
Hind doubtlul collateral amounting to
$8,000,000.
George K. Knrlo, Jr., President of
the Finance Company of Pennsylvania,
was appointed receiver, and in a state
ment to the public ho expresses tho
hope, thnt he may soon bo able to rec
ommend a plan to tho dlposltors that
will better serve their interests and
terminate his services.
President Hippie was always re
garded as a conservative financier,
but following his sudden death last
(Friday an investigation by the direct
ors developed the fact that his loans
to Segal had been mnde regardless of
proper security and that ho had mnde
fulso statements to the directors of
tho lxink's condition. Friends of the
president express the belief that Segal
exercised a hypnotic Influence over
Mr. Hippie.
Although the cause of Mr. Hippie's
death was given by his physician nnd
1he coroner ns cerebral hemorrhage,
It is intimated that ho may have com
mitted suicide.
Persistent rumors that President
Ilipplo committed suicide were borne
out when it was authoritatively stated
that ho took his life at his home last
Friday morning. Mr. Hippie is said
to have taken a dose of laudanum,
with suicidal Intent. While still con
bdous he filled his bathtub with water
and later was found apparently
drowned.
Tho lato Frank K. Hippie was one
of the best known llnnncicrs of this
tlty and was also prominently identi
fied with many cliarilablo Institutions
nnd was active in tho affairs of the
Presbyterian church. Ho was born
In this city In lSJIO and was admitted
to tho bar in ISM. At the incorpora
tion of the Real Estate company in
1S85 ho was elected its president,
which office ho retained until his
death. Mr. Hippie was also a director
of the Franklin National bank, Meas
urer of the general assembly of the
Presbyterian church In the United
States, treasurer of the sustenation
commlttoo of the synod of Pennsylva
nia, treasurer of the Presbyterian hos
jiltl here and American trensurer or
tho western section of tho Alliance or
tho Reformed Churches, holding tho
Presbyterinn system.

had formerly occupied was killed on
tho spot. I then went Into the garden,
where I came face to face with M.
Stolypln. He had complete mastery
over himself and was perfectly calm.
I urged him not to go back into the
house, saying thnt there might be an
other bomb there, but ho insisted on
returning, saying there may be wound
ed persons in there. The premier's
face was bespattered with Ink, tlitown

St. Petersburg, Aug. 27. Saturday's
unsuccesslul attempt on tho lite of
Premier Stolypln, with its sickening,
useless slaughter of thirty-two per
fcons, was followed last night by sm
other revolutionary outrage in which
Geneial MIn, commander of the Semi
novsky guaid regiment, and who,
since ills promotion to bo u general,
has been attached as a personal ad
jutant to the suite of the emperor, was
killed on tho station platform at Peter
hof by a young woman, who fired llvo
Bliots into his body from an automatic
revolver and then, without resistance,
buumiited to arrest. The capture of
tho girl was effected by General Min's
wife, who held her until tho arrival of
an officer.
This was tho third successive at
tempt on the life of General Min, who
was condemned to death by the ter
rorists immediately after the Moscow
revolt laBt December, on account of
stern repression practiced by a bat
talion under Ills command, and espe
cially for tlto wholesale execution of
persons condemned by drumhead court
martial for being caught with arms
in their hands.
The daughter of Premier Stolypln,
who was injured by the bomb explo
sion in the premier's summer home
Saturday, and who was erroneously
reported to have died, is still alive
and passed a quiet night under tho
effects or an opiate. Tho premier's
son, who also was hurt, is better.
Four more persons injured by the
explosion died during the night, bring
ing the total number or deaths up to
thirty-two. Twenty-six persons wore
instantly killed.
It appears that tho assassins were,
well supplied with fundi. They pain
$123 in advance for tno rooms they
engaged. Before leaving them they
disguised themselves' and made the
house porter drunk.
The oxt inordinary power of the ex
plosion may bo judged by the fact
that houses on tho opposite side of the
river Neva weto shaken and windows
broken.
It wa fully half an hour before a
beginning was made systematically to
clear the wreckage, during which tho
injured suffered agonies. At dusk
torches were lighted and by the Jltiul
light from these the work was con
tinued and tho walls were supported
up with stiong beams.
Many trees in the avenue wero
blown down by the force of the ex
plosion and the aspect of the house's
grounds was one of complete desola
tion. Parts of human bodies wero
tin own a great distance. An officer
chanced to knock against a small tree
and a bloody, dust-covered hand that
had lodged among tho brandies fell
at liis teet.
M. Mnukhnnoff, a member of tho
lnte parliament, who, at tho time of
tho explosion, wns waiting to see Pre
inlet Stolypln, sujs.
"I was .sluing, with some twenty
other visitors, including several
ladies, at a long table in the waiting
loom, M. Stolypln then being engaged
with M. Potivanoff. After waiting for
somo time, I changed my seat and
joined M. Pnsltkoff, a chamberlain of
tho court,' in a bay window overlook
ing tho avenue leading up to the
house. A few seconds after tho ar
rival of the carriage bearing tho as
sassins, which attracted my attontion,
because visitors usually come in
smnllor carriages, I was suddenly
hurled bnckward against the wall,
which my head struck. I wns so
stunned that I did not even hear the
explosion. When I recovered con
sciousness I snw that the celling and
one of the wnlls wore gone and that
the room wns heaped with debris from
tho floor above. The first words I
heard came from the lips of a mother

Bladder troubles almost niuavs result
from n derangement of the kidneys and

treatment of the kidneys. If you nre feel
ing badly you can make no mistake by
taking Dr. Kilmer's Swamp-Root, the
great kidney, liver nnd bladder remedy.
It corrects inability to hold urine and
scalding pain in passing it, and over
comes thnt unpleasant necessity of being
compelled to go often through the dny,
and to get up many times during the
night. Tile mild und the extraordinary
effect of Swamp-Root is soon realized.
It stands the highest for its wonderful
cures of the most distressing cases.
Swamp-Root is pleasant to take and is
