later there was filed in the Office Of the Re-
corder, mortgages by the Purcells to the
amount Of SIS. 900. The Purcells had done
a banking business with Joseph Seeman, a
German banker, who failed and caused o
run on them. The number Of depositors
is variously estimated at from 5000 to
5000, and the liabilities are guessed at
81 ZOO, 900. These figures are only esti-

magnificent donations to the Cincinnati
public schools and to art in Cincinnati
have made him famous, has declared that
the Archbishop shall not suffer financially,
even if X costs him a round million. 1t is
asserted that Springer has already handed
to the Archbishop a check for $4,000.
