A^-OTdER FINANCIAL CR?S..
It a ihe sPa rs <?f ihe F.delity Fuod
ing dmpsny, which wss or^ai s d ou
der the Ism of New York ia 1899 to
finance the building operations o' Ca bo
lic churches and allied Institutions, and
?*h;ch wrnt into tba hands of a receiver
a few weeks ago, are in an exceedingly
tingle-! condition is asserted by the re*
ceiver, Thoora-F. O Irof, jr., ia a stat.
meat msde by him yesterday.
Accord ng ti R-ceiser Gilroy, Ihe
company's lishiliiias will sg.r.gste mt
less thai $4,500 OOO witb practically do
es4t ts. lu creditors include al leaet 50
iburches, teminsries, colleges and msny
priests and nuns. These are locked ? 1
o?er ihe coanr*, from the New England
States to Oregon. Chief srooog the
company's creditors ia St. Mary's Acad?
emy, of Nsuvr.o, III.
As explained by the receiver, moat o'
the Fidelity F-nHog Corn* air loan,
were to run for 20 years. Io addition to
tbe*e lc flos the company also issued Hf*
insu'a-ic" eg ainst the lives of priests and
ours. A iate of joter st 'aigiog from
8 to 9 per cent, was charred for beth
loan and insurance.
Tbe Fidel'iy Funding Oompany, it
seems, a'i<> sold ita bonds to reprcsen'a
(ives ot thc C-tholic Ohurcb. These are
secured, according to tbe receiver, by
mort,area on property, bnt how mach
n a? b* r c?vir-d from this source it is
at yet impossible to sty.
Kli rai i? descrined as not only Brave
aod of engsging manner, but some cf bis
