Of this amount $318,- 000 isn't worth tho paper it is writlen on, It representa tho sum of the two notes which the geterous Speuncer made the bank a present of when he concluded it best to pack up his porta- ble effccts and jump tho town.'

This desire was what hrought thein out 8o carly, and what resulted in forming n llne which, by the tme the bank doors opened, extended down to the entrance of Ilooley’s Theatre. As tbe doors oocned the crowd rushed fn ahd surged up to tho marble counters, Twoorthreepolicemen wercon deckto keep them tn order, and tho work of presenting bavk-books and getting aproportion of what the depositors had to thelr credit went slowly on. By and by the crowd grew sinaller and smailer, the new comers were less frequent, and by 12 o'clock the line numbered about fifteen people. “: ‘| During the rest of the day It kept up about that ouinber. The depoaltors, of course, Induged in a general growl at the slowness with which thefr payments wers made to them. The notices postexd np on the French-plate glass were also the cause of conslderable comment, nud thero was adisposition toexpress doubts of the bunk's right toamend the by-laws, as hng heen dune during . the past few days. DBut the talk and the werowls were only Inci- dental to tho general desire to draw out what they “could, no matter {f it was hut a very little. There were some of the class there known as “repeaters,” but they went atvay with downcast countenances which wonid have told that they were uneuccesaful, even it tho eye-witnesses had not observed the manner In which the paring-teller eyed them and told them it was of no usc, MM THAINES came down to hils bank at Iis usual hour, He looked worried, tired, worneut. Under his arm he carried the mornini papers, the thuought of which may have had sometbing to o with the slight echsllon of dlssatisfaction whica rested on his nsualiy placid features Those papers contalned certaln stateme which ho had made the day befure to (e reporters representing themn, [edidn't exactly like the luterviews, and he took no pains Lo con- cenl thiat fact from his son and tliose who gathe cred around Wi, But he soon recclyved cou- siderablo comfort in the shape of some highly cominon-senss remarks mnada by a genletman who called in to see him: * You showed hand like a man, Halnes, and I like you all the better for it, ‘Thie time has_come for it.

According to this gen- tletnan, the project of having an examination had heen definitely declded upon, and the only aucestion was who ahould do tne {nveatizating, Mr. Guie had been sought with great diligence, but ft was ascertained that he was out of town for the day.

Others wonld not” be backward in this respect, either, The exmmnination would be made by men of honor, integrity, and abiiity, and he was confldent that the result would reassure the de- positors, every one of whomn would ultimately get every cent due him, and confess that the course the bank had pursued would bo the best and wiscst it could have adopted. And with this confident sssertfon the Director remarked that that was oil ho had to say, aud vanistied foto tho little rvom whero tho Directors aro wont to meet, and where they proceeded to further discuss the question of {he sclection of men to make the examina- tion.
