| Left for the Ciiy's Good.
CHICAGO, December lS.-It is considered
certain that W. I. Endersoll, President Of
the defunct Central National Bank, has
left the city for good having transferred
to the bank his stock and taken cash in
stead. Receiver Genner reports that his
investigations have disclosed considerable
crookedness on the part Of the management,
and it is extremely doubtful if more than a
comparatively small dividend will be de-
clared. The assets are about S433 900, of
which $4,000 are worth par, Sl5O,OO0
doubtful, Si7 600 is in cash, and the rest is
doubtful. Some of the stock holders are
responsible men, but the standing of large
number of them is unknown as they live in
eastern cities.
