The & eY m a Ma m e r c an Savings
Bank.
RESULT OF THE EXAMINATION.


The committee appointed to examine the
German American Savings Bank-Messrs. G. H.
B. White, ". G. Metzerott and Samuel Cross
have so far advanced as to be able to see that
they viii be able 70 make final report in q few
days. They have, however, found that the de-
pOSitS amount to S5S.912.66; interest accuml-
lated $1.65521. Total, 500. 567.43. They finG the
assets of the bank consists OF S52 3S1 90 in real
estate loans, $5,S32.S So real estate bought in by
the bank 81 ,6SS6 60 cash on hand. S3,I71. 81 de-
posted In American National Bank.
They find that the real estate loans are in pretty
fair condition, and that more than One-half is
available now and great portion OF the re-
mainder will be available before the claims are
due sixty days from November 4th>. and the
outlook Is very encouraging and-without con-
sldellng the responsibility OF the fr;.lSttcces-
there Is Reasonable chance Of
DOLLAR FOR DOLLAR
oeUg paid from the assets. They also IND that
mis- savings bank consists OF a c0-partnerShfD
OF the seven trustees. which does not appear on
record; and consequently each single trustee is
separately liable for the whole amount, and in
asmuch as several are men OF wealth.the money
can he recovered personally, and under 500 by
suit before justice of the peace. AS there are
about 100 accounts the most of the deposits are
below $10o The committee will recommend to
the trustees to assume the cOllateralS and ad-
vance the money. so that all claims may be paid
at maturlty-the expiration OF the sixty days.

A STRANGE LIFE INSURANCE CAsE.-An ey-
tensive and novel sensation is agitattng Bing-
hamt0n, n. V. in consequence of the death of
one OF its most prominent citizens. Col. Walton
Dwight, who, 1t is charged, killed himself by
degrees, in order that an enormous amount OF
life insurance might revert to his widow and
family. Colonel Dwight WAS formerly very
wealthy, but In consequence OF real estate
ShrinkageS failed in business. He then pro-
cured policies of insurance, ranging from s. 900
TO $4,000, from nearly every insurance com
pany In the country. the total amount aggre
gatfng $4,000, and paid the first quarterly
premium on all. He became notorious in in
slrance circles by the prominence Incidental to
the issue OF SO many policies, ard one company
becoming alarmed at the rapid accumulation
investigated and found that he had been suffer-
ing from hemorrhage OF the lungs It was
asceltalGed that he sought to destroy his life
Oy exposure and starvation. a number of COM
pahIeS became alarmed, but before any pro-
ceed1nSS could be taken he died. The theory is
advanced that he intended to destroy his life
before the second premium became due but
hnding the mode adopted too SLOW, and the
period for the payments approaching. he
FASTENED his demise by poison. The insurance
companies have adopted measures to secure a
post mortem examination of his stomach with
view TO The discovery of the poison, but as his
family physician had been prescribing arsenic
prior to his death, the results thus attained
could not be regarded as significant. The
deceased had expended 80. 100 in insurance pre-
NUNS. His widow has already proceeded to
press her claim for the insurance money. which
