lBr TELEGRAPH TO THE TRIBUSE.l
CHICAGO, H., Aug. 29.-The greatest excite
ment has prevailed in this city to-day result Of the
failure OF the State Savings Institution. At early hour
this morning largecrowd assembled in the neghborhood
OF the bank, and for while every indication seemed
point to general disturbance. Police officers sta
toned at the bank DOORS and using every effort to
keep back the crowd of depostor anxions learn any
additional particulars regarding the present condition Of
the bank Upon the faces of the depostors seen
expressions Of anxiety and hOpeessness and the general
opinion prevailed that all nearly all was lost.
The utmost surprise the collapse was expressed
by many who, till the blow fell, firm in their conf
dence to the stability Of the Institution While many
quiet and pacific in their utterances others ag
ated and vent to the feelings Of their hearts with
out restraint Women In various stages Of excitement
stood before the doors Though the OF many Of
these were really less depOrabe than their language
would seem to imply those Of others, more quiet but
with tears in their eyes, really affecting.
The result Of the failure naturally produced something
Of run upon the other savings banks i'll
the city, and in two or three instances the
thrtydays' rule had to be put in force, and
money was paid oft unless the same was needed
immediate Outside Of this precauon the part Of
the bankers the general business transacted in the
usual way. The views Of the leading bank pre- dents

but the effect may be marked abroad than here,

financial aud commercial community Of this City have
been for time that the state Savings nstitu
