A member of A Philadelphia Dry Good Firm Takes His Life
PHILADELPHIA, Oct. 7,--William M. Runk, of the Philadelphia dry goods firm of Darlington, Runk & Co., committed suicide yesterday morning at his country home. It is developed that Runk had been for some time during his partners (Darlington) absence dealing in stocks. His own personal estate is represented to be handsome one, but he did not make these ventures with his own funds, but aided by the absence of Mr. Darlington, he employed the money of the firm to an aggregate of about $80,000. Upon Darlington's return he made natural inquiries as to the course of business while he was absent and was informed by Runk that certain bills which had accumulated in the interval aggregating the total stated above had been paid. When the discovery was made yesterday that such was not the case, Runk went to his home at St. Davids. Later in the evening he wrote two letters and left them upon his library table addressed to Mrs Runk and Darlington, acquainting them with the cause of his action. The death of Runk may prove a heavy loss to the firm. He carried an insurance of $525,000 upon his life. ( MY NOTE: $525,000 in 1882 = over 14 million dollars in 2021!)
