lator received about 5000, 900 on the security
of some suburban property that would
scarcely bring tenth part of the sum. The
directors are trying 20 cast all the blame OF
the catastrophe on ex-Manager Kenney
whom they accuse of deceiving them as to
the actual state of affairs. All the losses were
confined to the head Office here and the
Toronto branch. The following firms
which have failed here within the past two
or three weeks, have taken about
$4,000 of the banks funds: Asch-
er g. Co., Hamburger & Co., Furniss & Co..
j. Il. Claxton & Co., II. Beatty & Co., David
son Bros. q Fish, Shepard q Co. There
are few more whose failures are imminent

The directors are not accused of stealing
but of criminal carelessness in leaving every,
thing to the cashier. The largest share
holder was Allen .Gillmour, the great Scotch
lumber merchant, who owned 500 shares
Sir Humphrey Allen and his brothers owned
400 shares. Rumors nave been abroad to-
day that the Exchange bank, whose capital
has been impaired by management almost

the directors, who hold about five per cent.
of the stock, and are all rich men, would
carry it through. It has met all demands
upon it so far.

cashier of the Canal bank and until recently

tions have continued for long series OF
years, being distractions from the daily

holders, did not take from the capital of the
bank. Twelve years ago, in February, 1867,
package containing $4,000 disappeared
from the desk of the note clerk, where
Jumienville had carelessly laid it.. Having
been connected with the bank since
boyhood, he was not suspected, but shortly
| afterward he replaced dwelling house com
pleteIy destroyed by fire, and upon which
there was no insurance, with magnificent
structure and loaned his son-in-law $25,OOC
to embark in business. Some time ago
| Messrs. Morgan & Sons, New York, CORE
spondents of the Canal bank, discovered a
difference between the two accounts of $19,-
200. The matter was at once investigated
and Jumienville failed to give any satisfac-
tory explanation. Going home sick,
he remained i'll for some weeks
and an expert accountant was
placed on the books. Every entry of the
past two years was gone over before the
method of peculation was discovered. II
was then ascertainrd that the cashier had
profits of its exchange, and taken the lions
share of the dividends. j. G. Morris, presi
dent of the bank, says that the amount alb
stracted can never be ascertained, but only 8
portion of the earnings of the bank were
taken, and that it's assets remain intact.
