We published in yesterdaY'a paper statement
by Mr. Rollo, Assignee OF the Merchants Insur-
ance Company, which should have read that the
funds Of the corporation were deposited, not in
the Mechanics National, but in banks among the
safest n Chicago. BY D typographical error it
was made to read that the funds we're deposited
in the safest bank " in Chicago, q statement to
which exception might naturally be taken By
banks other than the one where the moneys were
placed. The mistake ia one for which Mr. nollo
ID not responsible.
In the List of insol7ent insurance companies
supplied by the Register, whose funds have been
deposited by the Asaignees in the Mechanics
National Bank, published in Tue TRIBUNE q few
days ago, the Lumberman's was mentioned. This
is incorrect, the Assignee Of this Company hav-
ing banked altogether with the Bank OF Illinois,
as ordered by the Court when he took charge OF
this aStafa.
