PeuusyIvania Bank Failure.

Riddle, President or the Pennsylvania
Bank, which is doing the largest business
of any bank in Pittsburg, got up from q
sick bed this morning, having been pros
trated from hemorrhage, and is now at the
bank. The following statement was made
for the Associated Press: 81 have nothing
to say in detail now, but am here to face
the music and do my duty. Owing to un-
founded reports made current by interest
ed and mischievous persons, there has been
a run on us for several days, and our de-
posits have been decreased from SIS, 000,-
900 to 500. 900 in 8 few days. We there
fore deemed it wise TO take action now.
Further, / have nothing to say, except
that / am individually the largest loser,
having the largest deposit and the largest
amount OF stock in the bank" 1t is said
that rumors were set afoat by interested
parties, tina the Pennsylvania Bank and
two other banks have been allowing oil
brokers to overdraw their accounts, which
resulted in q run. One Of the stockholders
Of the Pennsylvania Bank says the sus-
pended bank is entirely solvent, and will
pay every dollar of debt or deposits. The
capital stock is 81, 900, 900. A full state
ment is promised this evening.
The Pennsylvania Bank was yesterday
assisted in meeting its obligations at the
| Clearinghouse by q loan OF 100000
made by the farmers deposit at the Ma
tional Bank, through which it cleared. 1t
was hoped that matters would be put in
shape to-day, and that the bank would be
able to meet its paper when presented.
L III -oc-i = ,arn..4r.aD% an1 tho
checks Of the Pennsylvania Banks were
returned by the farmers bank. Oh the
aggregate amount of checks thus returned,
the farmers bank officials refuse to make
any Statement. But as the aggregate
expenses at the Clearinghouse were little
below that of yesterday, the total could
not have been nearly as large as usual in
ordinary times. The Pennsylvania Bank
had out q very large amount in checks,
but for some days past had fallen of
greatly.
The Pennsylvania Bank OF this city
closed at 1890 P. NJ, and posted the fol-
lowing on the doors: lowing to q contin-
ued run for several days, We have decided
it wise for our depositors and all concerned
to suspend payment for the present" There
ia great excitement, and 9 large crowd
surrounds the bank. Officers have been
placed at the doors.
