.Settlement of tile OlMe-ei- Pusey
IIiiiiU'm AfTnlin I'reie-eeel Teie Slowly.
Creditors of OlUcer & Pussy's bank are
commencing to become decidedly anxious,
due to tho fiiut that the receivers decline
to make nu statement nnd have as yet
mado no report to the court as to the con
dition of the Institution. This anxiety is
Ht 111 further Increased owing to Charles Of
ficer as administrator having failed to
tile an Inventory of hlh father's property.
The day Iho bank went Into liquidation
the First National bank ottered to buy tho
assets of the firm so that Its nffalrs could
be liquidated without deln). Charles Of
ficer, representing the Ofilcer Interests In
the bank, declined to sell, at tho same time
notifying the First National bank there
were certain asuets which he wns sure tho
bank would not under any clrcumstanues
desire to purchase. These fuels became
public property yesterday for the first
time and did not tend to allay the anxiety
which creditors of tho firm already felt.
On behalf of the depositors whose money
Is tied up In the bank it Is contended that
If there was upwards ot $140,000 ready
ca3h in tho vaults the receivers should
have been abln before this to havo paid
out a dividend, which would have gono a
long way to tide soma of tho creditors over
their financial embarrassments. The
opinion expressed by creditors yesterday
was that It would be several months before
they would receive any portion of their
money unless the court should tako some
action tn the matter.
I Depositors continue to file their claims
and yesterday claims aggregating upwards
of $t5,000 were listed with tho clerk of tho
I district court W. II. Kuhn, a well known
i farmer of this county, filed a claim of
nearly $30,000. J. P. Oreenahlelds, as nd
tmlntsttator of the estate of the late Mrs.
Margaret Fox. who was killed by a motor
cur, filed a claim for $5,304. money that
the dead womnn had on time deposit In the
bank The certificates which could not be
found at her late home on Broadway wero
discovered yesterday In an envelope la tho
vault of tho bank.
Thomas Ratllff filed a petition of Inter
vention yesterday In the probata proceed
ings In which Charles Officer was made ad
ministrator of the estato of the late
Thomas Officer, In which ho asked for Judg
ment for $3,600 which he had on deposit
In the bank. He also asked for an order
requiring the receivers to make forthwith
a report of the amount ot property which
has come Into their hands nnd of thn Ilu
bllltlfs shown by the hooka ot tho firm.
Attorney J, J, Gtrwart, who Is a creditor
ot the bank, filed three separate claims
yefcterday against the estate of the lata
t
Thoiuan Oflleer. The first Is a personal he had. The oawtibrnker offered to buy

Except for sundry remarks such as "We
will see," "We will show them," from
some of tho uldermen. the communication
was ordered plared on fllo without com
ment. In turning down the motor company's re
quest for permission to lay a double track
on South Main street from tho Intersection
of Pearl street to Sixteenth avonue and
from Ilroiidvvny to the Intersection of Main
street em Pearl street, some of tho alder
men have given as their reasons that they
bellevo the company should first pay for
Its share of the old paving nt the Inter
sections. Suit to recover tho cost of Inter
section paving was brought by the city
ugaiutt the motor company in 1S01. but
was not brousht to trial until June, !&&,
when the court found for the motor com
pany. Tho case was tried before Judge
Aylcsworlh In the suporlor court, who held
that the ordinances provided that tho motor
company should pay to tho abutting prop
erty owners the cost of the paving between
Its tracks and for ono foot on the outside,
but did not provide that tho company should
pay tho city for like paving at street Inter
sections. The amount which the city sought
to recover was $6,322.89. Itemized It Is
Intersections on Hroadway ftom First street
to Eleventh street. $3,000.21; on Fifth ave
nue, from Pearl street to Klghth street nnd
Sixteenth and Hroadway, $302. OT: on Pearl
Direct. $21."i.iri: on Main street. $1,609.13;
South First Htreet. $2:15.08: Graham avenue,
$84,110: Pierce street, $70.85.
The motor company takes the stand that
tho courtn having decided In Its favor the
council should not now' Insist on Its pay
ing this mouiv nor hold It over Its head
as a club In refusing to grant Its request
to lay a doiiblo track on streets, which It
claims It ha a perfect right to.
Oenerul Manager Dimtnock of tho motor
company states that the action of the city
. council will simply result In the company
H. J. Chambers anil abandoning nil the work that It had con
itemplated this winter nnd tho improvo-
ments in th system decided upon will not
be carried out as intended, fur the present
nt least. This, ho nays, will mean that the
laboring men it this city will bo deprived nf
earning nbout $30,000 to $40,000, which the
'company had contemplated spending this
winter.
Tho city on the other hand contends that
tho motor eompany Is morally If not legally
bound to pay lor the Intersection (pnvlng and
that It was nlmply a technical defect In the
ordinance which gave It n loophole by which
It slipped out from paying Its just obllga
.Hons. Of all the htoves that are placed on

Sellliitr M union I Instruments,
A young man giving tho name of 0. H.
Hill was arrested last .night while attempt
ing to dispose of several guitars and
mandolins at a local pawnbroker's, The
police suspect that the musical Instruments
nre tho proceeds of solne robbery.
Hill went Into tho shop of a nroadway
pawnbroker and offered to sell a guitar,
banjo and mandolin which he, had with him,
Ho practically admitted to the pawnbroker
that tho Instruments hsd been stolen and
on being asked it he bad any jmore said

The city council held n apeclal session
yesterday afternoon and after Inspecting
Hie North Main street paving Instrtioted
day night. After Hie council has accepted
the plat It will have tn be on file twenty
days In tho olllce of the city clerk, open
to Inspection of Interested property owners,
before the assessment catl he, formally ac
cepted and tho certificates ordered Is
sued. The council found but one piece of prop
erlythe lot on which the little Hebrew
church standsthe assessed valuation of
which Ih below the cost of Improvement
If objection Is made to tho assessment for
the paving by the owner, the council will
probably condemn the lot for tho purpose
of opening Vlnn street through to North
Main street. If this was done It would
divert much of tho travel from Dryaut
street, which Is In a terribly dilapidated
condition and will probably not be paved
this year.
A visit was also made to Tenth avenue
and the conditions existing on the block
between Main and Sixth streots Investi
gated, with tho result that tho aldermen
found no reason why Contractor Wlckham
should not proceed with the paving thoro
without further delay. This block forms
part of tho first contract nnd there will
be no questions raised by the property
owners aR to payment of the assessments
for the Improvement.
