On Inst Friday, s notico appearod -among the advertisoments of the Intor-Occan, of which the following is & copy: BTOCKNOLDERS' MEETING OF THE MARINE COMPANY o iho. %{ffim’campany aro dnvited Khiollers of ot Ak nate Banldng Tauser 0’ ba.Hold on Tucaday, thio dist duy of March, 1874, Manom 4, 1875, This fs not sn unusual notico, and it would searcely havo called for a sccond reading, oxcopt, possibly, from thoue directly Intorested, if it had not beon for THE FECULIAR NATURE of the ndvertigoment, It {s woll known that Mr, Seammon, for twenty yoars pust, has managed tho affairs of the Marino Company, and hag nover boforo delegatod to any ono tho nuthority to call meotings or to manage its goneral policy, Whint thon, was tho object of the mooting, aud why should it bo calbed by Mr. Jacob Butler, Vico-Dresidont, whoso name is comparatively nn. familiar in conucetion with the Marive Banlk, !svhioh hias como to bo kmown as Ar. Scammon's * spccinl institution. But still anothor peculiarity wwas remarked by some parsons, in the fact that, nlthough the day for tho mooting is carofully + glvon, no hour is named; and, as it is usual to fix tho time deflnitely for such meotings, thiawas a remarkable omission, which might bo conatrued in various ways by thoso having anything at stake. Alfogother, tho advortisomont attracted public curiasity, and. moro than ususl interest .on tho pen: of the stockhalders, who woro unaccustomet! to seoing such calls, and were nob without approhonsion that its singular character boded some mrisfortunc. Asa consoquence of this, it camo to bo talkod about among baukors and business-men. Vaorious surmises wore ontortained 08 to the possibitity of Mr. Scam- . mon's rosigning tho churge of ihis old institu- tion into ofhor hands, This found credonco bos cnueo of his enormous busincss operaticus, from -, tho well-Imown fact that his extousive improve- nonte bad proved an uuprofitabls venturo, and {from tho further fact that he was moro or loss ongaged In various businoss_enterpriscs, which, under tho stagnation of dull ‘umue, were, at :best, poor investmouts for capital. Lut it was igenerally conceded that only i AN EXTRAORDINARY EMERGENCY "wonld_induco Alr. Scummon to loosa his hold upon tho darine Banlk, or oven to abrogate auy 1gharo of tho maungoment to anothor. + %he following circumstanco started o TRIDUNE - roportor on the search for nows: A gontleman coming from the Marino Bank mot the reportor and said to him: **%bave just beon dn\w,x' to Scammon’s bank and had o hively tinie there. # Indeod, how " iuquired tho roporter. “ Oh, I wont down to inquiro about tho stock- holders’ meeting callod for to-marrow, and found Alr. Butler in posscssion of the books and other things. I asked him what tho megpting was to bo about, and ho replied that hio was goibg to have an investigation of affairs, Butler cama bero from Jown six months ugo, with somo $20,000, which he put into tho bank, and Lo says ho has been puzzled ever sinco to Boe how to geb it " out. “ Butlor ia Vice-Prosidont, I sce,” gnld tho ro- orter. P o8, wag tho anawor; “ho was going to run tho thung. - Ho bad beon & bankor in Ioiwa, and hio thought it was & big chance for him, * Well, wasn't it ?" **Ho thinks not, now. Ho enys Mr, Scammon hias £329,000 out on bis own personal account, . 2ud about $100,000 in the Eloctric Match Com- pany, besides carrying the Inler-Occan account, and 'other motters. Scammon fools insulted when any ono but himsell draws money out.” **Wag Mr, Seammon around this morning 2" “*You, ho had just got baok. Ho called mo asido ag I wan going out, aud, pointiug to Butlor, srid: ¢ Ho is crazy.'"” ON TIE SEARCH, ‘*'Well, I shinll bavo to sco about this,” said the reporter, who un-nlghnrny betook himself to tho Marine Bank, Arriving thore, ho nsked if Alr, Butlor was in. * No," ourtly replied the clerk at the counter. * When will bo bo in, pir?" “Don't know, may not bo in to-day.” Thera was'an appareut intitnation In tho way this wos gaid: *“Do you know where ho i7" “I do mott i Turthor inquiry failod to illicit any informa- tion from this poorly-informod young man, sud the reporter withdrow, roflcting that, as Mr. Butler was an Iowa man, e wonld probably be well acquainted with Mr, B. T. Allen, President of tho Cook County National Bank, and possibly somo cluo to hig whoreabouts could Lo obtained of Mr. Allen. Upon reaching the Cook County Bunk, the reportor asked M, Allenif he know Mr. Butler. 1 do” Do you know where I can find him 2" o is in tho back oftice here, in consultation Wwith hig friouds.” ‘1 should like to seo him. I wish to_learn ahout the trouble at the Marine Bank., Ioma roporter.” Alr. Allen objoe stating that Mr. Butler was oxeited. Iuying oxplained that it was not the object of this papor to make any sonsntion of the mafter, but to give it as a piece of in- formation, which was alresdy hali-told, Mr. Allon_consontod to sponk to Mr. Butler, and, after waiting flve minutes, the latter came into the room, . MR, DUTLER'S STATEMENT, Ho was ovidently laboriug under strong men- tal oxeitemant, spoko rapidly and almost inco- horontly. When asked if he would mako any statoment he ra{:]iud that Lo would not, and then, turning to tho doek, snid: **I will tell you what I will do; I will write you a statement,” 1lo then indicted a lotter, which he read hurried- ly. It ran about as follow: “I am ready to give information to 'Uus TRinUNE nfter condult- jug_ wilh my friond, Mr, Bidmonds, of Des WMoines, In. T lave met Mr. Whito, but I have boen Ho busy that I could nof call on him. Aftor I bavo got through mitond- ing to_ tho interosts of tho stockholdors of the Marine Bunk I will call upon him, I intend to look after tho intorests of tho stock- . hiolders, und, when [ got through with thot, T will attond to this fosnnity dodgo,” Iaving read the statomont, Mr. Butler folded it up and snid ho would keop'it. As tho raportor had oxpocted torecolve it, and bad not prid par- ticulur attention to (ho ronding, ke inquired if Lo could not look ovor it again, “No, #ir; notall. You must make it up from that," roplied Mr. Dutlor, * I tell you the Hon, J. Y, Seanunon will tind that he pot hold of tho wrong customer whon he picked mo up, Sco here!” Mr. Butler drew from bis pooket n number of cortificatos of stock with the follow- ing ngroement attached: Tiecoived of Jacab Butler, of Evauston, Iil,, twonty thousand dollars (§20,000) ih payment of B00 Kres fu the Mariue Company ut sevonty-five dollurs ($76) per shiare, upon which 1i {8 agreed to puy u senil-anuual dividend of b per cent, Ilaving roud thus far, the oxclted gontlomnn folded up this poper also, and put it with tho other. Porcelving that Mr, Butler would say no *-moro on tho snbject nnd way grently agitated, the roportor concluded to scok out somo other stockholder, and fiud big views upon tho sub- oct. : 31, AOLOMON BAITI, Presidont of tho Morchnnts’ Savings ,Loan and yust Company, was found to be Hio noarost, Dlr, 8mith, whilo anaworing the questions askoed Lim, was possessod of littlo {nformation that could throw light on ihe matter in hand, hough o stockhioldor in tho Marino Compauy, his mauner indicated that he took littlo intorost init, Ifo snld, in monosyllable snswers, that Lo was ignorant of the honr of tho moating, the eondition of the bunlk, its business, or what tho mooting was called for, 3M1t.
