HEARING BEFORE STATE BANKING BDARI Creditor * nnil SlocklnililiTH of tlicIn Nlldilloii Conic to tin AKM'i'mciit Afti-r 11 Very l3\elllnK s K Vcdlcrilny. The bearing before the State nankin beard yesterday of mnttcra concerning th settlement of the German Savings ban affairs resulted In nn agreement betwce the stockholders and depositors , whcreb the former will put up a bond of $200.00 ( taku possession of tlic assets , deposit th money as fast as collected In a good banl to the credit of the depositors , and pay ol the depositors within two and a halt year * The details of this agreement will be com pleted within a few days , after which th receiver will be dispensed with. The meeting of the Gorman Savings banl depositors , called by the State llanklni hall at 1 board , convened In Crclgliton o'clock yesterday morning with Attornc ; General C. J. Smyth of the board In th chair. The hall wns filled with men am women In all walks of life , who have thcl Havings tied up In the Insolvent bank. Mr. Smyth opened the meeting with th Btatcmont that the State Hanking board de ulrcd to hear from the depositors and othe creditors of the bank na to the advlsablllt ; of taking the bank out of the hands of thi receiver , and placing It In the hands of tin board of directors. Ex-Governor Crounac , a stockholder In tin bank , was flrel on the Iloor. Ho gave i history of the bank along with a statemen of Its financial condition as It at preMn ho did no utunus. Ho said OB a stockholder want to ree the depositors lose a penny one be nindi arrangements could hoped that some by which the stockholders could give a bom thousand dollars nm hundred for one or two close up the affairs of the bank with tin least possible lors to all concerned. Hi stated that It would be nccepsary to recrgan Izo the old board of directors and get li eomo new members who understood the bus ! . Mr. Smyth asked If any one had n state mcnt of the condition of the bank , and W K Wnpplch replied that he had the pub llshed statement of the receiver , and askei the privilege to address the meeting , whlcl was prantcd. CONDITION OK TUB HANK'S ASSETS. Mr. Wnpplch said ho had put In a daj Investigating Into the condition of affalrt and read a list of stockholders taken fron ' the county treasurer's ofllco. This ahowet' 116 stockholders owning & .000 t-harcs of clock with 20 per cent paid thereon' . He furthei said that twenty-six of the largest stock' holders own S.G19 Bhares , while Lorenzt Fowler held 915 , almost one-third of tin atcclc. From the tabulated statement ol the receiver the face value of the aaset : last September was $431,427.87 , and that the estimated value by the receiver was $213,000 , Tha estimated liabilities of the bank an $336,000 exclusive ot the estimated value ol the sCoclc. Mr. Wnpplclr sold that ho had stockholders with several gone over the list of eral ot the depositors and It waw safe to es timate that persons holding at least 2.50C shares of stock were unable to pay anything thereon , and the only question was whether It was best to turn the bank back to the he considered In directors , many of whom competent. ' . , This started- the ball to rolling and busi ness became lively , I. n Andrews said he was , a depositor and believed It "best to permit the stockholders to give a bond and take charge ot the bank and Us assets , and that of all the banks that had failed npt one that had been placed in declared a dividend the hands of a receiver had dend ; and ho believed that the directors ot the bank would do justice to the depos itors. In this way all would got their money winner than by suing the stockholders and having appeals taken to the supreme court , which would delay settlement for years. Then some German depositor arose and said lie was no orator , but that he had deposited his children's money , soius $400. and called on some one to speak In belmlt of the deposi tors. WHO COULD notmow or THE HANK. John L. Kennedy wanted It to bo under stood that he. al.io , represented some stock holders , but denied that no bank had declared n dividend , and named one or two banks that had Ho averred that any old nautical bum or liack could get favors at the German Sav ings bank ; that the notes duo the bank were not worth 20 cents on the drllar , and that the real estate was worth about 50 cents on the dollar. In his opinion the bank had been mismanaged. He favored a bond , but wanted It amply suMclont to cover everything before turning over the ai-sels to the bank directors. n. 0. IKirbsnk said he was a depositor and he pro-prof } to have every cent with In terest. If It. took ten years to collect It. Ho thought a good bond should be given , as the depositors were turning back to the bank about $213,000 of assets. Charles 13. Reynolds , wns also In favor of such a bond , an were many more depositors. Mr. Wapplch said the depositors were con fronted with a condition. Ho said shortly after the bank failed several of the stock holders began disposing ot their property , among whom was L. I ) . Kowlor , who owned 91C shares ot stock , who deeded and mort gaged about $20,000 worth of real ' estate. About this tlmo ho was sued on th'o city troasurer'n bond. About JSOO.OOO worth ot real estalo was sold by the Gorman Savings bank stockholders and bondsmen for Henry Ilolln. ex-city treasurer. He went to Receiver , McCaguo and complained that these stoelt- h'oldqrs were disposing of their property , and In justice t the depos-ltors urged the receiver to take steps to stop the baino. "What as surances liavo we , " ho said , "that before the time for thi ) payment of our deposits many of the other stockholders will not have disposed ot and encumbered their property. Wo arc hero to get our rights in seine way. If the assets are good , as U claimed , lot the depositors buy thorn at the receiver's esti mated valno and thus ralno komethtng like $100,000. Then we will get nuv money. Hank ing U a commercial business and wo aru UUo Iho creditors of any Jobbing house tlmt falls. Let the at-f-cts bo sold and It there Is a de ficiency the merchant must pay It If ho Is worth It. Why not apply that rule here.

" This speech created considerable of a Bill the" depositors present applauding voclfEr otisly as Wapplch sat down , Ex-Governor Crounae counseled calmncw He wax an honest man , and had never dc frnuilod a man out of a cent , and did no propose to do o. Out times were hard , am It was dllTlcult to soil securities and rats money. He believed If a nominal bond wer accepted there was no question about th bank directors being able to pay all the de posltors within two or three years. A motion was made nnd carried to ap point a committee of five to confer with th stockholders' committee about arranging fo a Joint or severally bond In such an ammm as was thought proper nnd sufflcltnt to pro tcct the depositors. The depositors' com mltteo consisted ot 1. H. Andrews , Ir George Wilkinson , Dr. Savlllc , C. F Ureckcnrldge and A. T. Ulum , and was In atructcd to report at 4 o'clock p. m. AN AGREEMENT UEACHHD. The committee held n long consultalloi with ex-Governor Crounso nnd B. A. llensor who represented the stockholders of th bank. It was Just G o'clock when nn ngrcc ment was reached nnd Attorney Genera Smyth again called the meeting to order I. U. Andrews then stntcd that the commit teca had agreed on n plan which was to 111 effect that the stockholders should give i bond of $200,000 to settle nil liabilities li two and one-half years. All money col Icctcd on assets was to belong to the dc posltors and to bo deposited to their credit It was nlso understood that the stockholders ors could make adjustments with deioslton when It was considered advisable hy turn Ing over assets In return for certificates o deposit. An Inquiry brought out the addltlona Information that It was not contemplate ! that any of the funds realized on asset ; should bo applied for the benefit of deposit ors who were also stockholders In the bank The report of the committee was the sub Jcct of an hour's discussion , the genera sentiment being In Its favor. Ono dissent Ing depositor objected vigorously to the pros pect of waiting thirty months for his moncj and declared that It was a scheme to benc fit the big stockholders , who did not nce < the money. Mr. Smyth suggested that ho favored c light assessment on the stockholders to ns slrt In paying off the depositors , but Mr Crounso said that If this was Involved It : the proposition It would make It very dif ficult to secure the bond. Ho was wllllnf to have an assessment made , but he coulil not answer for the other stockholders. The report of the committee was finallj adopted and the committee was continued to sou that the agreement was carried Intr effect. Mr. Smyth stated that ho would bring the matter before the State Banklni ; Hoard and It would undoubtedly bo ap proved , nnd then It could be submitted tc Judge Kcysor for his sanction and the nec essary order.

The county commlss'loners met ycsterda ; for the purpose of hearing evidence 01 the protest against the Issuance of a llquo license to Mrs. Mary LaMotto to run i saloon on West Podge street. The whol < morning was consumed in hearing testimony the protest being based largely on technlca objections to the signatures to the petition. The commissioners acted on the report o Sheriff McDonald. The annual repor showing the receipts mid disbursements which has been referred to at length , wn approved , but the report of the sheriff show Ing the receipt of fees by his office durlni the last quarter of 1896 was ordered pjpcei on fllo without approval , for the redsoi that the report docs not show the collectloi of fees for convoying pilsoners to the penl tentlary or reform school , fees for scrvlii ! foreign papers and few collected by tin sheriff for acting as receiver or master com mlsstoncr. These fees form the basis foi the suits now pending In the district cour against former shei'Iffs ' and have been i bono of contention between the commission crs and Sheriff MoDonalOi. The board took official action on the offei of ex-County Judge Eller to compromise hlc suit against the county by paying the countj jiGOO.

The news that Omaha has secured the con vention of the American Federation of Women's Clubs Is the ihcai gratifying Information that has been received by the members of the Omaha Woman's club since its Inception. The victory Is regarded as a high tribute tc the earnestness and ability of the Omaha women who brought about the result and the success Is the more gratifying on ac count of the fact that the battle- was fought against tremendous odds and at first with i o apparent prospect of victory. And foi this reason trie news has Inspired the Omaha women with new enthusiasm. It is believed to Indicate that the1 other projects which the club has In vlow will be carried forward with brilliant prospects of success. The women nre still engaged In congratu lating themselves and each other and have had scarcely time to begin to plan for the reception and entertainment of their guests. The matter will not be ofilclally considered until after the return of Mrs. Ford , as It Is not exactly known on what terms the convention .was secured. Mrs. Llndsey said yesterday that as soon as Mrs. Ford'.hadi made her report the task of arranging'for the convention would probably be taken-up. Some of the hardest work was yet to come and It was Important that It should be taken up In time , KOI that nothing might be lacking to mak the con vention an unprecedented success. The Louisville affair was the second convention of the federation and. . It Included 1,000 dele gates and fully 500 . .visitors. Mrs. Llndsey expected that with theiadded Interest which would ibu'aroused ' i by tha. . exposition 'and.-the favorable railroad rates that wound prob ably be extended at that time , the Omaha convention would bring out a largely In creased attendance. The sessions of the convention only occupied two days , but many of the vlnltors would undoubtedly re main In the city for some days to attend the exposition. Mrs. Ford had been nu- thorlzed by the club to offer to entertain nil delegates free of charge , but whether the directory had Insisted on that conces sion would not be known until after she returned. In any case the club -would be equal to the emergency and would enter tain the convention In a manner that would bo fully in keeping with the hospitable reputation that Omaha enjoyed.

A difficulty exists between W. B. Cheatham local agent of the Illinois Canning company , and J. II. Patrick , ono of the solicitors. Cheatham yesterday filed an Information In police court against Patrick , charging him with forging orders for canned goods put up by the company. This threatened prosecution is alleged to have been begun in retaliation on account of a civil suit brought by Patrick In Justice of the Peace Orosby's court for non-payment of salary. Patrick alleges that ho was hired at a salary al $1 a day and did not receive three days' pay. Ho therefore began legal proceedings to recover $3. This case Is to be tried this morning.

The session of court yesterday mornlnf was consumed In the cross-examination o 1J. K. 11 , Kennedy. In his testimony Wodncs day afternoon ho testified that .Mrs. Rrtggs business Investments had been made largelj upon his advice ami suggestion and rcfercnci wns made to the stock farm west of town in which $35,000 wnsInvested In 1S93. Sir Kennedy alluded to the latter Investment as "a losing venture. " On his examination yesterday by the attorneys for the con. testnnt , Mr. Kennedy admitted , under t. searching cross-examination , that Mrs Drlggs had acted almost entirely under thi advice and suggestion of her eon , Clinton , nnd that the active management ot the entire affairs of the estate had devolved upon Clinton during the last four or five years. Mr. Kennedy admitted that ho knew nothing about the buulness of the stock farm and declined to contradict the statement of General - oral Cowln , counsel for Clinton Hrlggs , to the effect that the present appraised value of the farm and stock was nearly $25,000 , and that between $12,000 and $14.000 had been realized by the sale of stock and revenue from the farm. Ho admitted that this was a very creditable showing In the face of the gcneril depreciation In the value of horse flesh. Mr. Kennedy said he was unable to recall any Icttanecs In which the estate had lost money through the management of Clinton , and eatd that the only knowledge ho had that such was the case was through the statements of Mrs. Drlggs within the last year of her lifetime. At the afternoon opwioil Judge Brown of Lincoln , n prominent banker ot the capital city , testified that he had known Judge Hrlggs during his lifetime and that the Brlgga family and the family of the witness frequently exchanged visits. Ho tuld It was not uncommon for Mrs. Brlggs and Clinton to visit at his house for several days at a time several times during the year , and ho referred to the 'numerous Instances when Mrs. Brlggs ha-4 discussed her .private affairs with the witness. In all ot which ho said she had shown a desire to provide liberally for her eon. The witness also testified that Mrs Brlggs had told' him of her last will , saying she had made changes ) In It and that Clinton was familiar with the terms of the document and was satisfied with It. Tile testimony also went to show that Mrs. Brlggs waa ac customed to rely upon her eon almost entirely In the management of her affaire. Caril of TIiiinkN.
