ANOTHER savINGs BANK FIILURE
The Hoboken Homestead Association on tho
Lisi-The Receiver Obieeied to.

The Hoboken Homestead Association on tho
List-The Receiver Objected TO.
A number of the depositors and share
holders OF the suspended Hoboken Homestead
Association held a meeting yesterday morning.
Some dissatisfaction was expressed with the
receiver, NJ. Sanford. formerly President of the
Union Bank Of jersey City. who had been ap-
pointed through Oh. Spielman, treasurer and
general manager OF the Homestead Association.
Some OF the association's officers and agents
were present and, after q long discussion, a
committee was appointed to ascertain whether
the present receiver was acceptable to the bulk
OF the depositors, and II otherwise then to sug-
gest the name OF some other proper person.
The President, J. Won Densbetg, said that the
association was organized In 1889 with 30 shares
at t+OO per share, the money to be Invested in
real estate TO revert to the shareholders at the
the associations charter was amended so as to
allow II TO engage 10 banking, and IL did large
business In this direction with the trades people
OF Hoboken. Many residents Of that place de-
posted their savings In this bank He could
not give any statement of the assets and labili-
but thought that the assets amounted to $4,000,
and the liabilities to $4,000 or $4,000 The de-
p0siturs be felt oouhueDt would be paid IN full,
but the shareholders would suffer loss. Mr..
Charles Spielman, the treasurer, has had almost
entire management Of the concern. His sou de-
afterward obtained an injunction against the
bank to prevent II from receiving more de posts
Tue depositors are much excited and alarmed
AT the present state OF things, as some have
nearly oil their money In the bank. They ex-
press fear that they will not receive one cent ON
Towing QAy.

WHY Four benevolent Societies Drew Out
their Money-Tbe Trustees of the Instiiu-
tion Quarreiiina with President Hooper
AS to the row among the officers of the
North River Savings Bank, President Hooper's
account Of which was published in THE SUN
yesterday, the following version Is condensed
from the record as made by the trustees Last
spring large number of old depositors hastily
closed their accounts. The secretary and tellers
sought In vain by questioning depositors to as
certain what was the source OF trouble. A let
ter was received from President Moore Of the
West SIDE Bank saying, "As Q friend, 1 should
like TO know II the Board Of Trustees are aware
that your President is advising his frienos to
draw their money out Of your bank" -Four be-
nevolont societies drew out their m oney. and
Mr. Wagner and Mr. Eckenroth, belonging to
them, said that they had heard through Mr..
Hooper that the bank was in a bad way. Henry
v. Parseli. the paying teller, said that Mr..
Hooper remarked; Before Mr.. Stafford ami
his friends should handle the money Of the
bank will see to 1t that there is very little left
to handle" On the opening Of the bank July
about TWENTY-FIVE depositors entered for the
purpose Of drawing their funos, and stimuli
taneously Mr.. Hooper went Into the inner in-
closure, and, taking a prominent position near
the paving teller, drew from his pocket fve or
six p iss books, representing accounts IN his en-
divldual name, and demanded the money. Each
book was settled separately. the process taking
fully an hour and a half, in full sight Of the de-
postors, Mr.. Hooper evidently intending that
they should know that he was closing his ac-
counts. VIM. X. Denham said that Mr.. Hooper
he told bin that the bank might be safe then,
but he did not know how long 1t would remain
so, and he should draw his money out" Joseph
Foss said that Mr.. Hooper told him II he or any
Of his friends had money IN the bar he would
advise them to draw II out. Another charge
against Mr. Hooper was In regard to neglect Of
duty In falling TO give bis personal attention to
the back as President.

unusual degree Of typhoid, irrespective of any
considerations connected With the Centennial
Exhibition for. as will be noted. the number
this year. months before the exhibition opened
was in many weeks from two to as much as four
times as great ss In the corresponding periods
Of last year. IL will be noticed that the num-
oers suddenly Increased In the early part OF
August. That increase was no., however, I'm the
1wentvfouth Ward, where certain interested
parties would have Il believed the seat OF con-
tasion is. In the three weeks ending Sept. ., in
which eiahty-elx persons died OF typhoid fever
In the whole city, only seven died In the Twenty
fourth Ward and In the week ending Sept. .,
when the mortality from this cause reached its
highest poibt. thitty-two, there were but two
deaths 10 that ward, which during that time h ad
double the population Of any other In the city.
Mt: Chambers, Registrar, says that about tn
middle OF July a number Of persons went from
Philsdelphia to a camp meeting Of Second Ad-
yentists, or some gathering OF tho kind. at
Springfield, Mass. Nearly all who did so re-
turned home sick with typhoid fever, and the
deaths among them were what caused the sud
