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.

Statu nt Sixth Street.
Mayor Jennings has not yet attached his
official autograph on behalf of the munici
pal Uy to the contract for tho paving of
South Sixth street and Sixth nnd Ninth
nvenues, wdileh ho was authorized to sign
nt tho meeting of tho city council last Mon
day night. When asked yesterday If ho In
tended signing them, his honor said ho had
not yet mado up his mind.
Thu mayor Is Investigating tho status of
affairs on Sixth street and Ninth avenue
and Is anxious to ascertnln what force, If
any, tho notlco sorved by tho motor com
pany that It will not bo responsible for any
part of tho cost of tho Improvement on
theso streets will havo if tho paving Is
commenced or laid beforo tho compatiy Is
able, to retnovo Its tracks from thtso streets.
Under tho temporary Injunction secured by
H. I, Forsyth the motor company Is re
strained from tenrlng up or removing Its
tracks nn theso streets us It had contem
plated doing beforo nny paving was laid.
Tho mayor said yesterday that If ho found
the city could not compel the motor com
pany to pay Its sharo of tho paving, ho
would not feel llko signing the contructs.
At the samo time Mayor Jennings inti
mated that he had no deslro to toko any
snap Judgment on tho motor company or
unnecessarily hnr.is It, but ho desired be
fore tho close of tho deal for tho paving to
know the forro of tho injunction by which
the company Is restrained from taking up
Its tracks and of tho notion to tho council
that It Intends to remove them as soon as
tho Injunction Is dissolved. Owing to the
abselico from the city of the city solicitor
tho mayor has been unable to securo nn
opinion from him on the matter. It Is un
derstood that tho abutting property own
ers on theso streets nro desirous of having
tho paving done this year and are willing to
sign waivers.

NEW YORK, Oct. 18. Edward I. Johnson
was tho first witness called today in tho
proceeding for the removal of tho Ouynors
ami B. D Greene to the Jurisdiction of tho
United States court In Georgia, Mr. John
son is tho bank examiner who prepared an
exhauitUvo analysis of the accounts of
Greene and Gaynor tor the work done by
them It. tho harbor of Savannah and rivers
In Georgia. Tho analysis purports to show
exactly what bocamo of over $2,000,000 paid
tn Oreeno and Oaynor by tho government
on checks drawn by former Captain O. M.
Carter, It also purports to show, that
It. F. Westcott, Carter's fathcr-ln-law, re
ceived ono-third of tho amount divided.
It not only assumes to nhow that Westcott
received this money, hut that he Invested
It and turned tho bonds thus purchaJcd
over to Carter.
Mr. Johnson, cross-examined by Abram J.
nose, attorney for tho defendants, said the
statement was prepared from tho books of
banks nnd brokers In this city nnd
clscwhero whero the defendants had ac
counts. Tho period covered Is from 1892
to 1897. Mr. Rose nttompted to show that
the amounts Invested by Carter were alto
gether dlsproportlonnto to tho stuns ho
might have Invested If ho received, as al
leged, ono-thlrd of the amount paid Oreeno
and Guynor. Witness ntnted that tho
seomlng dlffetenco was fully accounted for
by tho fact that certain payments alleged
to have boon paid Carter, ns shown by tho
nnalysls, had not been Invested by the en
gineer officers nt tho tlmo ho had received
them.
