8 CLAIRMONT “SAVINGS” BANK. President Broadwell’s Bold Move and Its Result. THE RECEIVER IN POSSESSION seem An Indignant Trustee Who Tells | * ‘What He Knows. The affairs of the Clairmont Savings Bank develop more rottenness from day to day. 1t was geueraily sup- posed that the previous unsavory history of overdrawn dralts, defalcations of trusted officers, persistent falsi- fying of accounts, receipts of torged bank bills from brokers, and diversion of depositors’ moneys for specu- lative purposes was pretty pearly told, but yesterday @nother phage of this scandal was developed that seemed to surpass thy accounts of previous days, and Probably will be the means of not only showing the utter insincerity of President Broadwell in bis coquet- Ling with the committee of investigating trustees, brand 4s criminal bis diversion of the depositors’ funds, but probably by bis cupiatty, which like ‘vaulting amol- tion o’erlewps ttsel{,”” will save to the depositors a por. tion of his private wealth, which, but for the fortu- nate circumstances narrated below, would never have been discovered, THE STORY, In order to fully understand the events of yesterday ft may be necessary to recapitulate a little, President Broadwell, whose defaleation in the bank was not de- nied, was visited by a committee of trustees on Tues day at his home on Jersey City Heights tor an explanw | tion of the involved accounts of the bank and of the false statement of its conaition mule to the State last July and at other periods previously. Mr. Broadwell received the committee in bed; seemed to be utteriy prostrated; wept tears of contrition; protested that be was comparatively poor; that others were as much to blame us he, and produced a pbysician’s certificate to the effect that he would not be able to bear the mental | strain of an examination until the latter prt of the week, The commitice agreed to wait, Beiore leaving n Pecksniffian scene occurred which bas not before been printed, and which was nurrated by oue of the trustees to a HERALD reporter yesterday. The conver- Balion was as follows ;— President BRoADWKLL—If 1 should be able to go to | New York, gentiemen, tell me whether you would have | me placed again uuder arrest? Mr. R. G. CoRNELL, one of the examining trustees— Mr. Broadwell, ali tie trustees desire is that you act | with (hem in the future in good faith, and so fur ag we are concerned you need have no fear, | BroaDwkLL—But t positors; Low about them? Mr. Cornzit—I pleage you my Word i! any cf them get out a writ I wiil go upon your bail bond and send you home to your tumliy again, always provided, re Member, that you act honestly by us in this matter and | | do not endeavor to divert your property. { promise all BaoapweLt—Oh, 1 have little lef, you require, however. he committee leit the old president and his family | in deep trouble, The sequel will be found in the de- velopments 01 yesterday, Broadwell was too uuwell | to be examined on belialf of the depositors on Tuesday, | but on Wednesday be was able to drag himself from Jersey City Heights to the safe deposit vaults of the | National Park Bank in this city, where he claimed of tue manager, Mr. James W. ‘Dominick, a box ot | yaluavie securities, A TRAP, ‘The old gentleman was cliinbing up a ladder toward his box 10 the Vault to secure Lis treasure, when the munager interposed, saying :— “Dr, Broadwell, that sale is entered in the name of | the Clairmont Savings Bank on our vooks.”” | “On, 1 Know it,” Was the reply, ‘but everything in It is wy inaividual property, everysuing belongs to me.” i I cannot help that,’? said the manager; “I hear the | Dank 1s in the hands of a receiver, and | cannot let the tontenis of that safe go Without an order irom General Bmuiley.”’ 18 was a thunderbolt, and Broadwell left the bank. | y tue Receiver of the Clairmont institution ived a pote trom Mr, Dominick, the mauager of re the Park Bank vaults, to the effect that Broudweli bud called (here Jor a box entered ip the nume of the Dauk, the bank was uader bis (t er’s) control, and thai be would repair to the Purk Bauk to examine the securi- ties, In the meantime the combination of the vauit box had been obtaned by Use aid of Mr. Swan, and the Teceiver, accompanied by Br. Robert G. Cornell, om of the committee of trustees, repaired to the Park Bauk. ‘The box,” said the receiver subsequently, “we found really to contain Valuabie stocks aud bonds to the amoun: probabiy of $15,000 or $20,000, anu they appeared to be the personal property o: sbermag Broad- weil; the list is in my possession, vut I thin it inju- aieious at tuis time Lo give it to the press. The mis take Broadwell mude Was uot to huve placed the secur- juee in bis oWn Rame; then nobody could, at this juucture of tue proceedings aguiust bim, have pro- Veuteu tim from taking them away.’? “Why did be not do so 7”? | “The reason 1s apparent. He wanted to save the hire Of a safe deposit vault, Which 1s quite expensive, and charge the amount io the Clairmont Savings Bauk, iViug’ as a Voucher to the latter the receipt of the Birk Pak; but amin possession, und have changed the comvimution of the sale’? | “What will probabiy be the effect of this discovery of assets on a settiement with Broadwell ?” l imagine he will havea hard ume recover these securities trom the re- o ; besides, In Unis safe are a number of vaiuable letters and papers wuich throw light on a good many trausuctious which belure were cloudy and obscure.’?

For the past month a run bas been made on the Barnstable Savings sank, occasioned by the scare tol- lowing the suspension of the savings bank at Sand- wich, The facts, as nearly as can be ascertained at present, are as follow: After baving paid off do- positors to the amount of $75,000 the managers availed themsel of the month's notice required, and up to Monday calls bad been wade amounting to $175,000. This, together with what had already been paid off, caused the suspension, as it was impossible to realize $250,000 without a gi sacrifice, aud seriously impairing the institution, The other depositors therefore thought it best to suspend and cai! upon the Commissioners, and tLe bank closed 108 doors on Tuesday. Many of the investments are in real estate in Boston aud vicinity, aud on account of depreciation in vaiue the bank ‘bas lost heavily. Notwithstanding these heavy losses the bank was thoeght tobe ina good condition until this run was made. By paying no dividends for a yeur or two the bank will probably be able to pay dollar for dollar. THE HEAVIESL LOSER. Bosrox, Mass., Sept. 27, 1877. It is now ascertained that Kev, Lucius R. Page, author of the “History of Cambridge,’’ lost $25,000 by the late robbery of the Cambridgeport National Bank, of which $12,100 was in negotiable bonds and the balance ip securities of various kinds, The avail- able plunder irom his bOX Was greater than all the rest obtained by the robbery. [t is supposed there are parties out of the city woo have yet to discover their joases, THE BARNSTABLE DEPOSITORS, Boston, Sept. 27, 1877. The officers of the Barnstable Savings Bank coxter- red with the Savings Bank Commissioners in Boston thie forenoon, The conference will probably resu't in the adoption of ample measures for the protection of the depositors, The commissioners state there is no trouble with the present management of the bank, that the bad joans were made by former ollicers turee or four years ago; that the bank is gradually working itself out of all embarrassmeut, and that it will prob- ably be necessary to pass only one dividend. Accord- ing to the Jast published report the bank had 3,477 de- positors aud $1,405,074 26 ou deposi, That amount | bas since been reduced some $150,000 or $200,000 by withdrawals, A CIRCUS IN DISTRESS. CLOWNS, ACROBATS AND EQUESTRIANS HARD UP AND WAITING FOR THEIR PAY. Nearly six months ago the circus of Mr. John Mur- | ray (formerly Stone & Murray) started from here on | atrip through the Eastern States, Tuey began with | this State, going up by the Erie Railway as far Builulo, and that trip they accoudtea as the worst in their experience, Then they branched off toward New England and journeyed through Massachusetts, Counecticut and Ruode Island, and suvsequentiy Long Island and Staten Isiand. Long still retain kindly memories of the green corn, tresb eggs and delicate chicken wings that brigbtened up their daily feed in their travels througs that primitive seetion of the State, The circus bad over sixty mem- vera all told, and its expenses from day to day were no inconsiderable sun, Finully, after travelling over all the territory indicated, they pulled up at New Rochelle, September 19, and the season of circus me- anderings was closed jor the year, the horses going into winter quarters at the village named, the company coming to New York, Yesterday, by arrapgement with Mr, Murray, the performers went to the Buli’s Head Hotel on Third avenue to receive the money due to receive instalaents of $5, $10, $16 and, at the ut- most, $20 on their wages, according to the quality of the business, but when the end of the season was reached tuey iound judividually that quite a consider- had taith in Mr. Murray, and be spoke of a projected trip through the West indies, which had all the fascination of romance for his impecanious joliowing, and made them parily forget the iuct that they were tn the Jarge and heartless city of New York without enough cush tw pay their bourd ills jor a we The treasurer of the company, Mr. C, A. Demoalin, was om band carly ai the Bull's Head, with bis books, i an uppearance. ‘Chere was the Carroll ‘amily—tauer, son und daughters—who bave been doing the gay gym- nastic aud the light fantestic, and there was Tom Barry, the clown, alus! ‘Poor Yorick,’”? with bis bands iu his’ pockets, und nothing in bis pockets but Lis bands, Tuere was King Sarbro, the Japanese wire walker, melancholy as 4 clam out of season, wod the Metic family, Who were 80 gay in the :awuust arena, twisting aud whirling their jithe and graceiui bodies to the music of tue band and sinting on ewpty Stomuchs, and the Roscoe lumily of acrobats were also there—Wulter, Charley, Frank and Harry—ail oright and lively boys. Charles H. Lowry, @ bold equestrian was also im the throng, aud of Seupers and tumblers (though little disposed at that particular time to play leap frog) were Tom Butter, James Dono- van aud Eugene Leucy. Perhaps, yet rather strange to suy, the most cast down and melancholy were Grimaldi aud Charley Adams, the clowns. They hada preseatiment that no pay would be forthcoming, and they foresaw hard times abead that a0 originality of bumor could alter and make pleasant. Murray never made his appearance, and there was much misery felt in consequence, Finally the treasurer received a Lele- gram trow Lim trom Poughkeepsie, Saying that he had gone away for the purpose of raising money to pay the performers and would do his beet ‘There Was much murmuring in the unbappy vand, for some had not even the price of a glass of beer, © treasurer showed ail the sympathy the heart of reasurer is cvpable of showing, and finally the ‘owd of pertormers departed in Various directious, most of them wendiug their Way to 4 suloon in Hous ton street, where tuey Wade (he best of Lhe situation, suying, "Ang it, you Kuow, ‘ow isa man to get money where bit cawnt be ’ad."?

W, Souton’s invoice, continued over from Weduesday night, opened the sale, These books were mostly in lots of twos ur threes.

BISHOP POTTE! ADDRESS— EXCITING STRUG- GLE BETWEEN HIGH CHUBCHMEN 4ND LOW CHURCHMEN—A CONTEST OVER THE DYLE~ GATION TO THE BOSTON GENERAL OONVEN- TION—-THE HIGH CHURCH PARTY WINS. The annual Protestant Episcopal Convention of the diocese of New York, which was organized ‘ast Wednesday, met yesterday morning at ten o'clock in ‘St. John’s Chapel, Varick street, Bishop Potter in the chair, The morning prayers were read by Bishop Potter, aiter which tne Convention came to order and tue roll was catled, 127 delegates answering to their names and lay delegates being preseat {rom seventy. four parishes. Resolutions of regret at the death of Hamilton Bruce, formerly member of the Missionary Committee of the Convention, were adopted, The Hon, Samuel B. Ruggles tendered bis dec- Mnation as deputy to the General Convention, The balloting tor deputies to the General Convention, to be held at Boston next week, was then commenced, and also for the standing and missionary committees.

Wells, Henry Drisler and George Miller, The other elections were not comploted until attér recess, a second ballot being necessary for one of the members of the Slis- sionary Committee and for two clerical deputies to the General Convention. Bishop Potter then delivered nis annual address. ‘The object of the Convention, he said, was to maimtain the present healthy spiritual condition of the Church. He spoke of his long services of twenty-three years’ duration, Looking forward to the future, he praised in high terms the work of the Missionary Committee within the limits of the diocese, and hoped that the doticiency in the treasury would bo mude up, The Bishop reviewod the various institutions of charity in the diocese, the St. Barnabas House betug specially mentioned, He dwelt at some length on the work done among the German portion of the population, From this subject be proceeded to the more general oue of the condition of all the furcign persons coming to our shore and the good that might be done among them by missionary work. Tbe recent sirikes showed the existence of a class in the lowest strata of society, over ready to break forth and create disorder. By evaugelizing all classes tuese influences could be conquered, Tne experience of the lust few mouths hud taught the laboring classes that to ruin she em- ployer Was not the most hopetul way to improve the condition of the employed, apd capitalists had been taught to have more regara for the weil being of the laboring classes, Bishop Potter next spoke of the promising secessions to the Church from the masses of Italuns coming to this country. He re- ferred in terms of praise to the good work done in estavlishing reading rooms for young men all over the city, He spoke oi the proposed changes in the consti- ; tution of the Church, which did not meet with his | favor, and conciuded by giving a short notice of the distinguished memuversof the diocese who had died during the year. At the close of his address Dr, Beach, of St. Peter’s Church, proposed that it be declared the sense of the Convention that the proposed changes in the Church constitution to be acted upon in the General Convention were inexpedient, This was adopted, with a slight amendment, The changes proposed wero as follow 1, That the Bishop aud Convention’of an orgauiaed dio- cess may. {they nd any portion of the burdensome to be goverued by them, set such territory | enerul Convention, who way ion iry Jurisdicti » tion set forth form of morning and evening prayer. 3.

Nasb had been elected as lay deputy in the moruing. Dr. Morgan Dix Was elected us clerical deputy, but there was x non-concurrence between the clergy and the laity on the election of tue other deputy, Dr. Seymour coming within one vote of beiug elected, At this point there Was great excitement amovg tue ad- herents of the High Church party and the Low Church- men, Dr. Seymour being # stauel High Churchman, and his opponents wishing to keep him out of the Convention. it was proposed that the bullut be dis- pensed with, ‘this required unanimous consent, and ovjections iinmediately came ‘rom jue Low Caureumeon ail over the room, A’ballot Was again takea*resalting im another won-concurreuce, A communication irom the diocese of Loug Ielana, aduressed to the Legislature of the State, was read, Lt requested the Legisiature not to make any change in the general law of the State with regard to Church matters, particularly those jaws relating to the Epis- copal Church, without the concurrence of the five dio- ceses in the State, ‘This resolution, upon motion, was concurred ip by the Vouvention.

A chorus of objections was at once huried at hin from the members of the Low Church party tn different parts of (ue room. No motion was belore the house nud the objectors were delared out of order. Dr. Dix arose and Said thatthe matter bad been decided and be moved to adjourn.

ENGINEER OAMPBELL’S FRUIT THEORY. To tax Epiror ov tax Herarp:— The statement of Engineer Campbell that the impar- ity of the Croton water is duc to frait that bas fallen into the streams is simply ridiculous. Yesterday af- ternoon in strolling through the Fark I came to the Teservoirs and was shocked at their condition, The first reservoir was covered with a pestilential grocn scum, disgustingly suggestive of stagnuat ponds, The second reservoir had no water in it, but the bottom was covered with dry slime and mud. here is not a city in Europe that would submit to such criminal treatment and dereliction of duty on the part of its pubiic servants, [t 1s a crime, and the Board of Health should make a report and take action on the feartul condition of the reservoirs. JN. A WATER FAMINE. To Tux Epitor oy tuk AkRaip:— 1 desire to call the attention of the Croton Board and Commissioner of Public Works to the water famine experienced by the residents of Filty-fourth street near Broadway and Eighth avenue, From six o’clock in the morning until ten o'clock at night no water risos to the second story. Last year the same state of things existed and became worse in October, when hone could be got in the basements. Promises were made that this year all wouid be remedied, but it has pot. A large namber of buildings have of late been erecied on Broaaway, Eighth avenue, aod op the intermediate streets, which must diminish the bith- erion meagre supply. If the pipes were connected with the tower at High Bridge it might help the sup- ply to the second and third stories. SHORT UF WATER.

There is uo more crying evil in our ety than the dangerous and disgraceful telegraph poles that now encumber the streets, They are continually rotting and falling, s0 that the lives and limbs of our citizens are always endangered. It is as absurd and wroug to coutinue their use as it would be to pave our sireeta with clam shells, or to allow people to pui up dangerous and unsaie buildings.
