The Retired Manager Declines to Give Any ¥igures About the Concern, Forty Thousand Dollars the Conneot- ing Link Between BSpencer . and Myors, A Talk with Mr. Haines Regarding Affairs at tho _Pldellly. His Reasons . for the Policy which'He Has Been Pursuing, MYERS BANK. BAMURL D. WARD ATPOINTED RECEIVER. As anticipated, application was made to Judge Williams yesterday morning for the nppoint- aent of 8 Recewver for tha Merchiants', Farmers' & Mechanics’ 8avings Bank, and, as was stated would be the case In Thursday’s Trisunx, the oficers of the justitution made no ovbjection to {ts winding up. The bill was tiled by Mr. B, M, Baundera, who represents quite a number of the depositors, nlthough only three are made com- plainants. The Ilon, Thomas Hoyne, Mr. O, I, Horton, and Mr. Thomas A. Moran were also present as the representatives of other credit- oes. For the biank, Mr, Van 8chaack appeared, seryice being waived for the purpose of expedit- {ng matters. ‘The bi}l scts forth that R. J. Colburn, Franz Briedenbach, and Mary Currio were depositors {o the bank: that the oflicers were bound to ex- ercise due caro and dlligence In the eafe keep- {og and return of such-deposits s should Le made, and to prevent any waste or misapplica- tion of them. By virtuo of the by-law regulat- ing the payment of deposits, complainants had the right to withdraw of thelr deposits 10 per cent without any notice, not exceeding 20 per cent upon glving thirty days’ notice, and any amount exceeding 20 per cent upon giving sixty days’ potice. This by-law was in force at the time complalnants made thelr deposits. On the 20th of July, Colburn, wholiad 239 {n the bank,gave the sixty-day notice. On the 10th fust. he went to the bauk, prescnted his book, and demanded the amonnt due, the sixty days having expired, and he being justly entltled to the full pavment of his account. But the bauk rcfused to pay the sald anmount, or any amount. Mary Currte, who had §521.90 on_deposit, aud Bricdenbach, who had £2,101.47, also gave the notlce requlred, and payment of the amounts duc them was Tikewlse refused. The day theso demands were mada (Wedneaday) the officers and Directors of the bank wholly discontinucd Lusiness and ctosed up the bank. The complainants are In- formed and Lelleve, and clmrge the truth to be, that for & Jong time before tho closing tho al- fairs of the institution it had been o misman- aged and (ts nsscts so misapplicd that it beenme {usolvent: that thereby the ofticers, Directors, and stockhiolders made themselves personatly liable to the depositors for the sumis respeet- tvoly due them, and vught to be held to o rigid sccountability for their nuglect aud violation of thelr duty, Itis further ullancd. upon informa- tion and {;elh:f, thnt the bank 18 utterly fusoly- cnt, that it ie Jargely fudebted to depositore, that it has ot the necessary cash osscts to con- tinue business, and that unless s Recelver Lo immedlately appointed the ssscts will be fur- suer WASTED AND MISAPPLIRD 1o tho fereparable injury of the creditors, As soon as the Court oprned, Mr. Baunders mentloned the fact of the fillng of the bill and the preseuce of the attorney for the other side. Judge Willlums (laughing}—Is It necessary that all the motlons for a Recelver fu this county should come before mel Mr, Baunders—8hall I road it1 Judge Willlams—-1 have no right to refuse to hear cases that arc brought betors me.

This ended the proceedines in Court, Mr. Wanl was notified of his appolntment about 11 o'clock, and was shortly after furnisted with s bonid, e then staried out to find sure- ties, and fs nnderatood to have bad no difflenity, since his Integrity ia 80 well knuwn that no risk attaches, The bond will doubtieas he presented fur approval this mourning, this formality over, the noxt step will bo'to take posseasion of the bank. When this {s done, and the nseets and Looks are overhauled, somne fden can be cot of its real condition,—an lmwu!hflllyyuur- day, owing to the reticence of Mr, Myers.; AT THE DANK, The announcement of the cloaing up of the Merchants’,Farmers’ & Meclinnica® 8avings-Bank revived to ‘a limited extent the excitement of three weeks ago, the cffect of tho suspension being felt at nearly all the other similar institu- tions by an Increased demand for money. On none of them, liowever, except Lhe Fldn)ll{. was there an approach to arun,and at.this bank tha number of calicrs was not much Jarger than that which has drn;:{od in dally since collapee of the State, crowd of about Ity collected cul{ jo the morning In front of the M, F. . and drew what congolation they could from a placard on the dvor ru«llnz' “The Savings Bank will not be open to-day.” This was true. Not a soul except the Janitor, who sleeps there, was In the rooms from morniog until night. It was given out that Mr. .\gcn would'not come down town, and it was eald that the man who bad the combination of the vault was out of town. Iencolt was uscless toexpect Lo pet any information regarding Ll vondition of the bank. When conylnced of this the crowd separated, and at no time suhseguently during the day wos there over a duzen nssembled on the sidewalk, And very few of Lhese clalmed to be depositors, Now and then a man would say *I have muney in there,” and this statement would be supplemented by abuse of ravings banks In neral and tho M., F. & M. in° particular, ?Jtnn singular fact was thal there were always one ar Lwo {n every kanot of people wio defend. ed Mr, Myers and repelled every insinuation or asscrtion that ho was distonest. One of these men blalined the depositors theinsclves for the fallure. He sald their running to the bank v o body for money had crppled it If they had .mfl at bome and taken things casy within s ear every ong could huve got out all bis funds, {!v their rashness they would probahly lose half 1t not more. There was considerable growline at the loss of savings, and many reficctions cast upon **rich men who rob the poor,” but the ab- senee of ANTY CIIARGE OF CONRUTTION, the presence of Mr, Myers iu the city, and the Ignorance of all as to what the labilitles and asscts were, Lad a tendeney Lo repress any auch expr-ssiuns ns characterized the crowds'which met fo front of S8pencer’s bank. The whole day at the bank yiclded no incidens worth writing up. Among the disappointed visitors were two conatablea who had writs of attachment. Dut they couldn’t get Inside, and went away when advised by an attorney that. no one could e a preferred” creditor, and that they had better ci)ml: around when the Receiver was in posacs- sion. . A reporter called on Mr. Myers in the after- noon, expecting to get some definite informa- tion regarding the resources, ete. The gentle- maa was in bed, and sald he iwas taking o reat, e biad been for six weeks Jlke a lvcomotive with a full head of steam on, and had just banked his ires and waa trying to cool off, *{{ow much money have you pald out since the lat of July!" said the reporter, “1 cannot tell you,” was the reply; “but I pald outa great’deal.

The fact that It cxisted, and that the State Savings Institution loancd Mr, Myers 840,000 to help hitn through his troubles, taking therefor the aforesnlid note, was ail that was absolutely necessary to sustalu the story.

TIE EMPIRE FAST-FREIGHT LINE, At n late mecting of the Board of Directorsof the Pennsylvania Rallroad Company an arrange- mient was virtnally consummated by which that Cutnpany becomes the owner of a large equip- ment and other property of the Empire Trans- portation Company, connected with the trans- portation of trafllc over the Philadelpbia & Erie, Michigan Central, Lake Store & Michizan Southern, Pittsburg & Fort Wayne, aud otber Western ronds. This fast-frcight lne and the Merehants® Dispatch were the only two which were still controlled by private parties,—the former by Tom BSeott and other ofllcials of the Pennsylvania Railroad, and the lntter by Vanderbilt and other of- fclals of the New York Central Railroad. The sucklug propensities of these fast-freighit liues have long beeu a matter of sore grievance to the stockholders of the rallroad cumpanics, who understood the Credit Mobiller surt of re- latlon which they bore to the maln lines, but sufliclent licadway could never be made arulnst the powerful combinations to cut off the gizan- tle leechies.

But it was the general opinion that he would not sell bimself for loss than nsctof catskin fuvs. Yet it (s a painful fact that lic has done it for less than that, At tho beginning of last session Catskin applied for an annual pass on tho Chicaga & Alton Ratlroad, aud not to bave so great and good o man opposed to them, he was supplied with the coveted littlo pasteboard, Of courso tho mana- gers of the road did this on the supposition that the great legislator would use the pass for him- sell only, and not take advantace of thelr goud- ness by turnig it Lo his own protit in allowlng others to use it.

The victory with Julin Hall was all the more notable from the fact that, although the horse has heretofore had the reputation of being a quitter, Johnson yesterday landed him first under the wire {n the fourth heat after everybudy thuught his chances of winning the same haid been destroyed by break.

The 2:28 race was expected to be a long one, it belng thought that Billy O'Neill would be able to obiin one or more heats from G, T. Pilut, the favorite. Johnsun's Gray Cliel was the only horse in the party, however, that could give the dun-colored gelding a fight, and he won In straight heats, the last being the fastest. Before the last heat in this race was trotted, the owners of O'Neill got into a quarrel as to who should drive the horse, one wanting Funcher and the other Georze Logan.
