| A. j. Meyer & Co.. bankers, failed, and
| their account at the North American
was overdrawn to the amount of $4,000.
| The bank has a reserve of $4,000, and the
assets of the defaulting firm are reported
| to be accessible, which would cover the
| losses to the various parties by the failure.
| Meyer came here three years ago from
| Chicago, and his house has been in good
| repute, its business being said to have
| reached 5000, 900 week. John P. Yelver-
! ton. President of the bank named, died of
apopleXy last night.
1t seems. yesterday an application was
made to the payings teller to certify to
| some checks of Meyer & Co.. but as the
| amount was large and there were no de-
| posts of the firm in the bank, that officer
/ declined to assume the responsibility. Mr..
Yelverton was appealed to, and having
| the utmost confidence that deposits wou d
! be promptly made to meet the checks, GER
| titled them. The tOsS sustained by the
| bank so worked on Mr.. Yelverton's mind
| as to occasion the sad event recorded. 1t
| is reported by Meyers friends that he did
not intend to defraud the bank, but was
| unable to meet his obligations in conse-
Quence of having sustained heavy losses
| himself 1t il barely possible that a COM
promise will be effected, as persons in the
/ city are understood to have large amounts
| ing to Meyer.
