<p> DIED. MARY ROEBLING, 89, the first woman to serve as president
of a major U.S. bank and governor of the American Stock Exchange;
in Trenton, New Jersey. The widow of banking and steel-cable
magnate Siegfried Roebling, she took over the Trenton Trust,
where her husband had been a member of the board, and, during
the Depression, quadrupled its assets. When she retired in 1984,
Trenton Trust had become the $1.2 billion National State Bank.
