THE CHICAGO 'TRIBUNE: SUNDAY. SEPTEMBER 23, 1877—SIXTEEN PAGES, THE BAXKS. Nothing More Discovered About Mr. Myers. The Receiver Unable to Find Any As- sets of Any Conszquence. No Committee Yet Selected to Examine 1be Fidolitye The Effort to Obtain One to B Continued —Scenes at the Bank. Not a single fact conld be gotten yesterday concerning the condition of the Merchants’, Farmers' & Mechanics’ Savings Bank ' that was, and the conviction is gaining ground that the creditors will get little if any salvage from the wreck. Recaiver Ward was ab the instito- tion all dar, but he learned nothing about the assets or the liabilities. Teller Chambers figured away on his books, but posting is slow work, and as be was nearly a month behind another day at least will be required betore a balance can be gtruck. But when the debts and credits are -sized up” they will mot reveal much, since MYERS' SYSTEM OF BOOKKEEPING was original, and can be understood by no oue ut himself. Like old Daniel Drew, he kept all his accounts in his head,—or rather what the entrics in the books meant, as the cntries them- cclves are very blind, meither the Receiver nor ‘his attorney being able to decipher them. About the only thing done vesterday by Mr. Ward was o consult with Mr. Horton, and the re- gult of their talk was the conclusion that it would be unwise 1o tell what little they knew tothe reporters. It was stated, howevyer, that assets amounting to $30,000 had been discov- ered which were worth their face value. A full rtatement Wwill perhaps not be made until a week bas clapsed. The depositors scemed to be ivdifferent, as oaly half 2 dozen called at the pank yesterday, and they only wasied their time 3JUDGE OTIS was deep in ficures again yesterday, his atten- tioa during the whole day being occupicd with tbe bondlists, which he and his assistants were busy comparing with the various bonds found on tie premises forthe purpose of sceing how eversthing taltied. The work was Pt completed by evening, but should be finisn- ed to-morTow moroing. When tals shall have becn done, 2nd the receiut for the bonds turncd over to Mr. Howard, the Juoge’s clerical labors o this connection will be very nearly at an cod. After all the receipis are given and eversthing is formally transfcrred into hus haads he will be master of the scuttled ship, and will proveed 23 rap:dly as possible 1o realize on its contents and belonzinzs. A TRIBCNE reporter was successful sesterday in getting a more detailed description of THOSE NOTES which Mr. Sydney Myers. the 350 bee-hive man, gave the State Savings Bauk as evidence of his jndividual indcbteduess to that institution for borrowed moneys. _The first mote is for 810,- 341.67, was dated March 30, 1577, and is now ast due. There are two others for. $5.000 cach, Quted July 24, which will not be due_until the SOik o this month. Two more for $5,000 each and one for $10.000 bear the same date,—July 24,—but will not be due till the 1st of Novem- ber. The total amount of these very vatuable pieces of paper is $10.341.67. THE FIDELITT. Another day’s run is what the historian of the Fidelity Savings Bank's afluirs at this staze is olliged to chronicle. Ever since Mr. Haines upbosomed humsell to the persistent inter- and announscd his intention of haviaz “g affairs investizated by a competent committes of reputable sentlemen, the depos- jtors have been gaining confidence. But even this hope is quitc likely to be dashed to the ground. Two days have been spent in trying to £ e & committee, with 1o results, the gentle- men appealed to eit\er pleading sowe excuse or refusing, for Teasons best Known to them- scives, totake part in the examination. The genilemen wio thus erefused to be mixed up with the matter in any Way or ‘manner. may have bad 3 wholesome regard for this popular preudice against what many have insisted would be nothing else thao a packed committee. Or course, noze of the gentiemen whose nawmes have been wentioned in this connection would co Canything elsc than make an loucst esamination and return an houest report. ba-ed on the facts as they exist. ‘But in these times of public clamor, when the doubtiag ones are not casily assured, the mere fact that the bank was to choose its own committee stirred up 00 smali amount of distrust in the public mind, and a favorabie repost of the Committee would have been looked upon witht Goubt. Therewere two ways of avoiding such a result. The first was to have the depositors appoint a commitiec of their best uen, and make he examination toemselves. ‘This would have beeu the better w Tne otner was to have had the Clearinz-House Committee do the in- vestizating, or else choose -a _titoroughly im- ittee Lo assume the responsivility. lan was suomitted to by Mr. Haines 2nd his Directors. The resalt is that the geo- tlemen who have been intervicwed and asked to serve dechne to take the responsibulity. The bauk prople say they are STILL WORKING ON THE MATTER, ‘but are utterly unable to say when thev propose 10 get their Committee, and when it will start to work. In the meantime the run continues B B inabated vigor. At10 o'clock yesturday morning there were ffty people around the bank. At 11:30 taepumber had dwindied down 1o four. At noon a solitary depositor was hold- oz a confsb with the ood-natured paving- . teller. At 1 o’clock the line strung out till it e iaded cizhu or ten people. ~For two hours longer they kept CcOMIDE in: and had their wauts gttended to, the pimber remaining about the same. Most of them took the mon.¥ given them without going throuzh the formality of lcaving notices. In fart, some of the depositors appear_to prefer aking 35 at a time, ‘and then trying the repeat~ ing dodge to golng through the troublesome and unsatisfactory jormula of depositing 2 notice. It has been noticed, and the fact com- mented on heretofore. that the “gmall potato” dcpositors are the very ones to make the most fuss. AN AMUSING INSTANCE of thiswas afforded vesterday. when a youog man clad in fine_ raiment presented his bank- book and demanded the ‘munificent balance due it 24 cents. He had been there the day before, and bis repeating was the cause of 3 beingr ignomuiously expelled, with the geo- tic rebuke from the siiver-haired _Me- Auley, that he ought to be sshamed of hinself. it would occur to an outsider, how- ever, that the best possible course the bnq,k could bave taken would be to pay him his 24 cents, and even agd 2 few cents for interest, for the purpose of getting rid of bim for zood. An- other depositor—a woman of the town, tricked out in the latest style—prescated her claim for §1, vigorously insisted on its being paid, and was exceedingiy wroth and torn up in ber miod when rzh‘;l et 2 fate ;imimr to that ogo Lh«‘s' o%: cent Individual.

A tLuAs statea above, Mr. Haines and the Direct~ ors still profess to be working up the com- mittee scheme. 10 conversation with the writer yesierdar, they stated that some of the gentlemen whom they wished to have were out of town, while others who had been spoken to Were apperently unwiling to assume the re- sponaibims. So far, therefore, they had se- cured nobody.

Cu1caco, Sept. 22.—There seems to be little doubt that thefailureof the Merchants', Farmers &'Mechanics‘ Savings Bank was not caused by {air business transactions. _ The fagt that Mr. Myers wil give no fizures in regerd to the as- Eets and liabilities of tue banlk, nas led the pub- lic to believe that all is not * square,” and will justify a very rizid examination ot himself and othiers wko are and have bren connected with this institution. 1t is well known that in Octo- ber last Mr. Henry Siegfricd, atthattimea teller II‘J this bank, quit the institution and went to Colorado, aud, I suppose, for the_purpose of starting a bani. Now would it not be wise and judicious to examine into this affair a little, and sce if we cannot_discover, where some ot the missing cash and funds have gone to? The August statement of the bank shows $90,000 reserve cash, and $1,763.54 of cash items. Itis known, also, that the bank bas been paying out only small sums since that time, and since the State Savings Institution collapsed only §5 has been paid to each depositor of this bank. Sup- pose the bank haa at this time 4,000 depositors, the amount paid to them would only be $20,000, and there should have been at least $70,000 cssh in tne bank, instead of $62.28. Novw, the question arises, What has become of lh? money? It looks pretty plain to us all that this is a bank robbery unorecedented in tie an- pals of history. Even Spencer or Boss Tweed, in all their iniquity, would sink into insigniti- cance if compared with this man Myers. [t is Mr. Ward’s business to lunt up Heory Sieg- fricd and find out what kind of o business he is trausacting, and_ whosc mooey he is doing it with. _And it is the duty of Col. Hickey to ar- rest Myers, so that he may be on hand when wanted, and so that the poor victims may have som¢ little show for their money. "A DrPOSITOD. CORRESPONDENCE. TO THE STATE DEPOSITORS. To the Lditor of The Tribune. CHICAGO, Sept. 2% —Are we mimors that we can have no voice in this matter? Can we do nothing but sit down and suffer with cold and hunger this winter, while a few rich men and Jawyers fat up over the remnant that Spencer hasleft! What clse does it look like? .Over 1,000 gone already 4nd not o start, and that money will be paid up at once to those individ- nals, who send in their bill, while if we were to starve in the street, not a dollar could we have of vur own. Why don’t they sell the whole coucern tor what it will bring_and wind 1t up? W ¢ shall never need it more thau this winter, and we shall never get more. Better tear the justitution down. It would be some consolu- tioo,—better than to be trampled in the mud by thuse who are pretenaing to help, while they are really taking the last bite irom our mnouths. A ToraL Losez, DON'T CROWD IT. o the Editor of The Tribune. CmicaGo, Sept. 22.—Regarding savings banks and the best method for their conduct during the present crisis there is a wide divergence of opinion amongst the people and tie press. De- positors generally and the Times newspaper par- ticularly advocate a method of settlement by the principal surviving savings institution (the Fidelity) alike at variance with the common in- tercsts of that bank and its creditors. In this matter the Timesis ultra; it condemns the re- cently enacted by-law of * Haints, Wiliiams & Co." as unacthorized, inimical to the best in- terests of the depositors, contrary to the “laws of Tlino’s and of God,” and by implication as tantamount to a vonfession of insolvency. s consideration of the ZTimes' propositions will ehow that they ars badly taken, and ghat their advocacy neither aids the bank in its pres- cnt situatioli nor secures to depositors eitber money ur confidence. That the by-law in ques- tion is unauthorized gemaius to be proven: the laws of this State_and of the Deity arc both silent, neither condemning it nor indorsing it. That the bank has made such a by-faw is prima facic evigence of 1ts rieht to do so0; and, if lim- iting draits to 10 per cent per month will pre- Jent the runs that threw the State and the Mechanies’ into the hands of a Receiver, ought ot the depositors to ratify the ** contract made by the party of the first part 1 "Had the Fidelity simply required sixty days’ notices, a-portion of its depositors would bave ‘been paid in full, the cash resources of the bank would have been speedily exhaueted, and the patural and inevitabie consequence of 2 failure, —a Reeciver and the attendant expeuses,— would have delayed a final settlement beyond the time that, under the operations of the by- Jaws so objectionavle to the Times, will see cvery depositor equitably served. If the Fidelity is solvent, its _policy is indu- bitably for the best interests of its ‘depositors. Ti the Fidelity is insolvent, its policy is certain 10 secure the most economical and the quickest settloment. If the depositors petition for a Receiver they will take the management of the bank’s affairs from the hands ot those most capabie of realizing the greatest number of cente on every doilar due depositors. T. B. SEAVET. ILLINOIS STATE FAIR. Tho Day After the Exhibition at Freeport— Deporture of the Vast Throng of Visitors— Notable Exhibits of Machinery, Special Dispatch to The Chicagn Tribune. Faeeporr, IlL, Sept. 22.—The grand ehow ‘has ceased, and ali day the Fair-Grounds were deserted by the crowds of people. but larze pumbers of teams have been busy carting away the thousands of articles oo cxhibition. ‘This m«_mly-sumssfulEmsitlonisab!zfcnlhcflnL‘he cap of modest Freeport, and she will crow over it for the next quarter of & century. It marks an cpoch in its history, and it would be interest- ingto koow the opinion of Ward Barker, who erccted the first log cabin bere in1835. The littie city has once more lapsed into its wonted quictude. It secms almost descrted. sogreat is the chanze caused by the departure of 25,000 strangers. The Deautiful stone Court-House erected in 1572, at a cost of $140,000, is still here, and also the $15,000 soldiers’ monument, and the new jail, and the poor botels, and all that sort of thing, but the excitement, nolse, and immense throng are departed. Lewis Morrison’s Dramatic Company, with Rose Wood as the bright particular star, has appeared nightly 2t Wilcoxon Opera-House to very large houses, and closed their engagement this evening with the drama of * Miss Multon.” No larer display of machinery has cver been at previous fairs, and 8 few of the more notable exhibits deserve & brief review. Ooposite the amphitaeatre, Mr. M. H. Pitts, President of the Company, and H.W. Matthews, Jr., exhibited the “CHICAGO PITTS THRESHER." Visitors, and esgephlly patrons, were very de- monstrative io their praise, and pronounced it the most available of aay. ‘The thresher was in I eryday working-dress, and had the im- proved end-shake ghoe and separator, a valu- able device. Also the Original Pitts horse- power, with the patent Dbrake, by which the team may be stopped _instantly witd- out damage to the power. These machines are made of the very best material, run like other makes. “The largest and one of the most claborate machinery-halls was that of . G. & W. PARNES, OF FREEPORT, who exhibited a full line of standard machinerv, for which they are general and district. agents. The entire floor of tbe larxe ‘pavilion, 128 fect in length, was occupied by the §wceyu:kes thresher, Buclkeye mower, reaper, and harvester, Ureseil” clover-huller, Sandwich cornsheller, Faust_hay-loader, Challenze feed-mill, Union corn-planter, Archer hay-rakes, Taylor rakes, Dickey fanning-mill, all first-class mathines. They alsoshowed the implcments of their own make, such as Barnes' hay-carrier, Walker harpoon ‘hay-fork and pulleys, Gem corn-shell- ers. and Sweepstakes shellers. Their extensive show commanded great attention, and was pro- nounced the most complete. In the Barnes Building the power Was obtain- ed from the Mouitor steam engine, made by C. ALTMAN & GO., CANTON, O which was awarded the frst prizo, It bas vertical boiler and ‘engine, great steaming ca- pacity, and is saving of fuel, noiseless in opera- tion, light in weight, and has more the appear- ance of o steam fire-cogine than others. It at- tracted constant attention, and the first prize was certainly well placed. C. Altman & Co. also exhibited their Backeye Harvester, which management, and adjustability of the improved recl. These, with the table-rake reaper, the Buckeye Mower and Reaper,and the Sweepstakes Thresher, attracted much attention. The Tavesher has the new end-shake and mapy other o eablc improvements for this year. W.G. & W. Barnes are the business ‘managers for these 2oods for Wisconsin and Northern Tllinois. Mr. Fogle, Sccretary ‘and Treasurer of the Compaoy, was on the grounds. 'Among the machines which the visitors nro-. nounced cf superior exccllence were those manuiactured und exhibited sere by Y 3. D. EASTER @& CO., OF including the Marsh Harvester Binder attached, which 1s conce successful antomatic binder made. Also the Wacrior Mower, which is u popular machine.

In Bergman & Borman’s large machinery hall many lesding manufacturers displayed: thelr goods, among them @. A. STILES & CO., OF FREEPORT, exhibited their celebrated corn cultivators, which arc equal to any in the market for light- ness of draft, ease of operation, and perfection of work. Tnese_cultigators are made in sev- eral styles aud of the best material. They are fncreasing in popularity and are the farmers’ favorites. They also manufacture the Excelsier Grain Fan, and Krouse's Patent Hay Rake and Loader, the very best of their kine ORYIS MANUFACTURING COMPANY, OF DIXOX, exhibited a full lize of their machines, including their superior Dixon Sulky Plow, which was ad- Imired for its simplicity and case of operation. Also their uncxceiled hollow-tooth, steel-point- | ed harrow and plows. 3. P. EASTER & CO., OF FREEFORT. exhibited, in their building, their Hollings- Sortlys Improved Self-Discharging Hay-Rake, which i claimed the most desirable. The teeth are adjustable, and the horse discharges the load under the control of the driver. TIIE ADAMS & FRENCH HARVESTER, with the Harvest Queen Sclf-Binder attached, was operated on the ground by H. Johnson, of Towa,who cntertained u iarge audience in show- fng tie points of superiority and pericction in this machine,—called the “Monarch of the Field.” It is light draft, uses no belts, canvas, or chains, will cut wet or dry, can_clevate the heaviest erain that grows, and handles flax per- feetly. It is claimed to be the onlv self-thread- er made, and the bunales are entirely sepapated. 1t binds tight sny sized bundle, and cannot be clogged. It is always threaded, and always ready. If the wire is broken, which rarely oc- curs. the driver easily threads it without zeiting off his seat. This unrivaled ‘mactine is made By the Adams & Fronch Manufacturing Com- panv, of Sandwich, 111., who have many valua- ble testimonials of the great superiority of tne Harvest Queen. . TIE MARSEILLES MANUFACTURING COMPANT exhibitea their Adams Power Curn-Sheller, ounted ontrucks which carry the complete machine. The new chain forcé-iced, which can- not be choked, or that snow in vorn cannot ef- fect. together with their vibrating cog-shoe,were featares that attracted ereat attention from beople interested in selling aud operating corn- ghellers. o this machine is attached the Mar- seilles Patent Cub Stacker,which can be operated at anv anale. and in any dircction from theshell- er without stopping. . .

Bowen, got up in groat disgust when H. D. Jen- pings moved the exelusion of all outsiders. The Chair said that it had been sugges! ed to him that the Committee should be called to- gether to sumzest matters of business. It Scemed to him rather early to hegin, but a zood many members of the Committec had thought That come innovations might be sugzested in the matter of holding primaries, and therefore the meeting had been called- On motion of D. Munn, it was _decided to postpone fixing a date for the Republican Coun- I¥ Convention unil the next meeting of the ommittec. Ar. P M. Ryan moved that a committee of five be appointed to_draft regulations for the holding of primary elections. Tae_wotion pre- vailed, and the Chair appointed P. M. Ryan, Chiis Marer. T. P. Robb, Jolm Humphrey, and ‘Andrew Crawtord as such Committee. Messrs. C. G. Lunderborg, Alex ‘White, Peter Seldund, D. W. Muon, and Martin Best were appointed a Committec on Apportionment of Delegates. There was some desultory talk about the basis of apportionment, but no con- Gluslon was reacned.

Noyes also made a brief speech, and referred _to the need of complete orranization and good men for.the offices to be filied. o business came before the meeting, and an adjournment was talken until next Saturday evening. The Republicans of the Fifth Ward held a meting at No, 130 Archer avenue last evening, at which speeches werc made by several gentle- men, and the necessity of unitcd action shawn.

He then madea sharp attack on the Republican party, and got into trouble O mediately, as many of the atdience were evi- dently Republicans. The most of his remarks were devoted to a criticism of the Republican y rather than to an cxplanation of the ten- ets of the Greenbackers.
