cidents Yesterday.
The crowd that besieged the doors Of the Third
Avenue Savings Bank yesterday at nine O'Clock was
about as large as on Tuesday, the lines extending
about halfway down the block towards Twenty.llfth
street and about one hundred and nifty feet west OF
the corner. The appearance Of many in the lines
Indicated persons OF The middle class, whose
DEPOSITS USUALLY RUN INTO THE THOUSANDS.
At half past nine those who had secured tickets
the night before were admitted by the side door and
formed In line about the paraelOgram At ten
O'Clock the police Of Captain Cameron's precinct
mounted the first steps, and, pushing back the
clamorous congregation Of men and women, opened
o wicket in the large doors and prepared 10 admit
few more OF the crowd. The moment the wicket,
about two by four feet. was opened there was
rush pel neil against the officers, Six OF whom
threw their p0nderOus bodies against the people
and kept them well at bay Occasionally as
they made room they would seize woman or
man from the lines and push him or her through
the aperture, then turn ana beat back the crowd
Thus the vacant spaces In the bank were quickly
filled, and then the large folding doors were opened
and few more permitted to enter. The police en-.
oyed the sport Of pitching the depositors head first
through the miniature door hugely and as they
lifted man and woman alternately and hustled
them the aperture recalled to the spectators the
firing up OF racing Mississippi River steamer when

The females found themselves inside, with torn
dresses, crushed crnoline, disheveed chignons and
wrecked bonnets; but they were only too glad to
get In at any sacrifice, and made no complaints.
Paying out at once commenced more rapidly than
the previous day. At thirty-nve minutes past
eleven there were ninety persons within the in
stituhon and 1877 without, some having left At
thlrty.nve minutes past eleven the sign "There
