morning. The following notice is post
ed on the door: "The directors OF the

to convert its assets into money imme-
diately, have deemed it proper to sus.
pend payment" In addition to the as
sets of the bank the stockholders are in.
dividaally liable, and the directors hope

the demands so promptly that the run

they had been steadily reduced and do
not now exceed $4,000, Of which

banks, and money borrowed on mort.
cages to the amount of $l28,0OO. The

Gilman ForRary Case.

NEW YORK, October 3.-As far as as
certslned all but three or four OF the Ger
tiicstes in the Gilman forgery case are
called in, and these are for small amounts
but may have been raised to large
figures. as were Others. The total amount
o. iorgerles known is about S207 900.
NEW YORK, October 3.-The excite
caused by the exposure of the forgeries Of
VIM. Q. Gilman Was intensified by the
discovery that the stock of the Ameri-
can Exchange Bank and the Metropoli-
tan Bank had also been forged, and that
several large institutions were heavy
losers. The forgeries SO far discovered
aggregate S352,500, on which Mr. Gill
man had raised S247, $40. The belief
that Mr.. Gilman has committed suicide
is generally credited in insurance
and banking circles. The prin-
clpsl losers are large corpora
-tions. Two money losners, whose
names are not yet known, were
reported as among the victims, one losing
$2S,OOO and the other $4,000. The for
gerles, it was found, begun January 10,
1876, on the scrip of the Atlantic Mu-
tusl Insurance Company. The scrip was
altered from $50 to $500. At first MIR.
Gilman operated slowly, but as business
losses crowded on him he became bold
and forgery became an almost every day
occurrence. He dealt largely in scrip OF
the New York Mutual Marine Com
mercial and Union Mutual Insurance
Companies, but full examination
slowed that the forgeries were strictly
confined to the Atlantic Mutual Com
pany and the American Exchange and
Metropolitan banks The rumor that
the United States Trust Company had
been detrauded by Mr.. Gilman proves to
be false. The losses are thus summoned
up, rs for as discovered:
