in charge, who refuse TO permit an
audience with ally Of the
board. There is great excitement.
News of the second suspension
spread rapidly. 1t created intense
excitement and surprise, owing to
the fact that everybody had faith in
the banks ability TO pay all claims.
The immediate cause is at present
unknown. Nothing definite can b
learned, as the directors positively
refused to be interviewed. Large
crowds have bsen f9cking to the
Dank, and the pavem ent in front is
filed with anxious depositors and
persons attracted through curiosity.
President Riddle appeared in usual
health at 10 this morning, but half
an hour later was Frustrated by
hemorrhage of the lungs, and since |
then has had three repettions |
thereof. He is lying at Duquesne |

give an explanation of the sudden |
turn of affairs. 1t Is said, however,
that there has been q heavy run on
the bank this morning, principally
by checks, and $3.50, 600 bas been
drawn in this way through the
Clearing House.
The crash was brought about by
the Clearing House throwing out
cheeks amounting to 1926, 600. Ac.
cording to the statement of directors
the bank had raised 1891, 900 to pay
its liabilities, S91s,000. It is said
there Were 100000 certified check
which were not included in thiss

banks which loaned the SUSPENDED
institution funds to tide them over
are amply secured.
The cause of Riddles illness is an
overdose of morphia or chloroform,
'aken this morning. Physicians are
sndeayoring to relieve him of the
