Up to dalo he has heard pothing from Mr, Endicott, although overy ef- fort (s muking to ascertatu his preciso whére- abouts, When found, the gentlemen who are on his track will make & note of it, report the fuct to the Recolver, and visit Chicago, with Mr, Endicott 1o their company. The fuvestization into Mr, Endicott's councction with the bgok atlil goes oo, but the Receiver will give uo bint of what he is trylng to find until he dnds tt, if baply he may.

Uipon its showing tho Comptrolter will dectare a dividend ofat least 25 per cent, which will bo paid some time next month. The Comptroller ot the Currency has slgni- fied to Recelver Jackson, of the Third Natfonal, that he desires his report by the first week in January. Accondlnely the Recelver and his clerks hiays been, and” arc, rushing matters to that end. They will keep at their work a part of to-day, notwithstanding Christmas, and the expeetation is that the Comptroller will have the report at the thno designated. The number of clalms proved up, to date, Is 343, represent- fng an smount of §0,000. 'The people who haye it in thelr power todraw dividends from the Fidelity are not avaiiing themsclves of that privilera to any great extent nowadays. For a few dags, when fhe lostitution first commenced paying out, the crowds came, with little money in thelr pockets, and went away with more or less of it securely’lodged in the proper recenlacles beneath overcoats, over- skirts, and _other portions of the human wear- ing npparel, Among those who havg gnodly balances at the bank 18 a butchor named Miller, who hasaclalm on $13,000. Ten per cent of that would, in the estimation of ordinary people, be worth going for, and yet the sald Ml'llcr has exhibitel 1no anxiet: to get ft out, There are soveral depositors whose credit balances vary from £800 to 81,500, Mr. 8hermnn has taken the oatns to look over the books and et the statistics on these unpald clalms. He finds, from o partlal examination, that there arc 13,000 of unpaid balances made up of ecounts exceeding 8500 each and divided atnong thirty people. There are 675 nccounts whoso eredit balances aro below 81 each. On this first divkiend $14,000 remains to be pald ont among 3,300 people, At the present rate of paylng nm] which rarcly cxceeds $23 or $30 a day, It will be some timo hefore the dividend fund is exhausted.
