Affairs of the Officer & Putey Bank Are Still Kept Secret. SCHEDULE MAY BE MADE UP TODAY llrertver .Murphy Mnyn Hint the llnn ttnr Work of 'the Hunk Hnn In terfered ivllb C'oiiipllHtlon of Assets mill I.lnbllltlm. Tho refiort of Hccclvcra Ilcrcslielm ami Murphy of the banking firm of Officer & I'usey Is looked for today, Tho receivers had expected to tile It with the court yesterday und the fact that It was not proved a great disappointment to tho many creditors of tho hank, who arc anx iously awaiting Its oppearonco. Tho In cntory of the estato of tho late, Thomas Olllcer, senior member of the firm, was very disappointing to many of the flrm'B creditors, who had anticipated a much better showing, as It In generally ho llevcd that the rccolvers In liquidating .'no liabilities of tho bank will find It necessary to calt upon the Individual property of the members of tho firm. Tho dcluy In the filing of tho report by tho receivers tends to increase tho alarm of the creditors. Receiver Murphy, when seen yesterday evening, stated that it had been the In tention to Ilia the report yesterday, but he nnd Mr. Ilcreshclm hail been de layed In the preparation of It, owing to their having to attend on the number of creditors who called nt the Jiank to fllo their clulms. Ho said they' hoped to flic It today, but could not say certainly that It would be. There Is an Immense amount of detail work connected with 11 that tho public docs not realize. The claims alreudy (lied against the bank, Mr. Murphy says, aggregate in the neighborhood of K'0,000 and the work of registering these and waiting on the cred itors naturally consumed much of their time and prevented thorn from preparing the report. In order that the report may be completed Mr. Murphy said they would probably closo tho doors of the bank this morning and keep them closed until It is ready to bo filed. Ho believed that If they do not do this they will not havo the report ready for several days yet. At the tlmo of tho appointment of the receivers tho court ordored nil claims to be filed within ninety days anil this being the case Receiver Murphy said yesterday that he did not bellove the cash on hand would be paid out until the expiration of that time, unless the court directed thut a certain amount be withheld to meet tho claims not yet filed, It was stated nt tho time that tho bank went Into liquidation that the cash on hand amounted to $150,000. This has been Increased, however, since tho receivers took charge, as many of the debtors of tho firm havo paid up their ImlcbteduesB. In connection with this Receiver Murphy suys the clients of tho bank whoso ac counts wero on tho wrong side of the ledger havo been paying up better slnco the bank closed than before. The claims filed with the clerk of the district court yesterday against the bank aggregate about $0,000. Word received from the superintendent at ClarlndR Is to tho effect that tho con dition of W. H. M. Pusey remains prac tically unchanged. Davis sells paint. HOLDS HACK 1WVIX43 CO.Vril ACTS. Mnyor Will Wnlt Vntll informed nn to Statu nt Sixth Street.
