ployment as Junior Clerk in the banking house of N. Holmes & Sons. It was in this establishment that young Donnell laid the foundation of his career. His earnest attention to details and rapid as- similation of the technical knowledge of the business soon stamped him as a young man of promise. His promotion, therefore, was steady. In every depart- ment of the business entrusted to his care he devoted all his best energies, and, step by step, he advanced until, in 1872, he was admitted to partnership in the firm. On Oct. 1. 1899, he was elected to the Presidency of the Bank of Pittsburg. Although the bank, naturally, has his first attention, Mr. Donnell is interested in many other financial and commercial institutions, among which may be men- tioned the Fidelity Title and Trust Com- pany, of which he is Vice President. He is also a Director in the Allegheny Gen- eral Hospital. Mr. Donnell was President of the Monongahela Navigation Company, which built and owned the dams and locks, and controlled the navigation of the Monongahela River. In 1897 this prop- erty was condemned and purchased by the Government, and in payment the largest check ever received in Pittsburg was rendered.
