closed its doors this morning owing to the ir
regularities of its cashier. It will rcmalt
closed until matters are investigated , Thi
president Is Thomas AV. Kvans ; cashier , Join
1 > . Dickinson. The bank is situated at II
Broad street and is a slate bank. When tin
last annual statement uas issued , September
1SS3 , the figures were : Paid-up capital
$500,000 ; surplus , § 05,197 } undivided profits
847,730. Kiornnn's ngoncy reports : The vice
president states the clearances , of the bank
will go through the clenring-houto to-day. The
capital stock is 5200,000 , which will probablj
bo swept away. The depositors will eventually
ally bo paid in full , nnd very likely CO pet
cent , will bo paid them by the end of thli
week. The cashier's shortage is stated to be
8200,000 and the bank baa 850,000 In bad
debts
O. F. Simpson nud C , J. Osborn , director !
of the Wall street bank , Saturday night am
Sunday , made a thorough examination , and
decided thnt In justice to all parties , not tc
open the institution this morning. The rosull
of the examination ! a as follows : Deposits ,
81,250,000. call loan , 8110,000 : good businosi
, > apor , 8350,000 ; cash , 8185,000. Cashier J ,
P. Dickinson has boon lending money tec
freely on insufficient margins , nnd its csti
mated the loss will bo about Sl00uOO. ! Tin
bank was debtor at the clearing house 528.
000 this morning , which has been paid. It 11
estimated thnt depositors will bo paid in ful
and part of the capital will remain.
President Evans , of the Wall Street banl
says , the depositors will bo paid in full. Ir
Saturday's bank statement the bank figured
for $1,510,500 loans nnd diacoiinttr.SSO.-lOOnpo
cle ; $122,000 legnl tenders nnd deposits § ! ,
133,300. The ofliccrs declare the suspension
is duo to irregularities of the cashier
John P. Dickinson , who has unt beer
at his desk since Prlday night , the excuse foi
his absence Saturday beinir that ho WAR con
fined to his houao by illness. It is not charged
that Dickinson IB guilty of any worse irrofiu
larlty than carelessness in the security col
laterals offered for loans. Several Wai
street firms nro closely idontifiei
with thobauk , among thnm C. T. Tompsoi
& Co. , B. S. Chapln & Co. and Dickinson

NEW YORK , August 11. It Is stated thai
Mr. D. O. Mills nnd Mr. Charles Osbon
have decided to advance sufficient money t <
enable the Wall street bank to resume to >
morrow. Charles J. O.sborn , ono of the di <
rectois , states that the loss to thu bank cannel
exceed its capital , 8500.0PO , and it ii not
likely to bo so tjroat , and the depositor * will
not have to submit to any delay in getting
their money. There Is no reason uhyOO pei
cent , can not bo paid out at once.
NEW YORK ; August 11. The wife of John
P. Dickinson , the defaulting cashier o the
Wall street bank , remained to-night a the
liouso of her father , C. F. Simpson , Madison
avenue. None of the family ha\o seen Dick
inson since Friday last , and ho was then at
the Oriental hotel , Coney Island. Where ho
is now , Simpson says neither ho nor his
laughter know. The rumor that the ( inn of
Dickinson Bros , was a heavy loser by the fail
ure is denied to-night by Platt K. Dickinson ,
who says thu firm was in no way affected.
NKW YOHK , August 11. The directors of

laid the condition of affairs was very conf lined
md It would be very doubtful if the report of
; ho statement could bo made for several days.
1'ho directors refused to jay anythinc what-
wer in regard to discoveries made. All the
liKclosure thus far is that the failure is due
; o abstraction by the cashier of collaterals
lodged with the bank ns security for its call
loan.

each inquired of his neighbor if ho had felt the
shock. Many timid people wcro eo alarmed
that they hesitated to re-enter their houses
and did not do BO until assured by stronger

from all parts of the city to Chestnut street
and there gathered around the different
newspaper nnd telegraph offices to arcertaia
