P~rrrsBURG, May 28.-In the extremely
| muddled condition Of the Pennsyivania
| Bank affairs in the absence Of the Presi.
| dent, who is the only person who holds the
kew to the secrets of the bank, and owing
TO the reticence OF the Directors and others
| concerned, no definite conclusion can be
| reached; but it is now taken for granted
| that the depositors will be fortunate if they
get 5 per cent of the amounts estimated
1t is definitely known that the concern is
completely Quilted. The assets are dimin-
| ishing rapidly and the liabilities swelling
even more rapidly. Those who had the
call on the resources drew with unsparing
hand, and there is little left to tell the tale.
The books shed very little light as to the
identity of those who deposited in the in
stitution, as the accounts are in fictitious
names. The shortage grows hourly as the
~intricacies of the book account are I'M
raveled, and from S350,000 overdraw the
amount has grown to 81 ZOO, 600 to-day,
and the end is not yet. The liabilities are
believed to reach over 81, 000, 900. II is
said that the bank methods date back
three years, to the time OF the Cherry
Grove oil excitement, and since then the
bank has been losing steadily.
Opposed { o Granting Divorces.
PHILADELPHIA, May 28.--At the General
Conference OF. the Methodist Church, the
Committee on the State Of the Church called
up its report for final action. Gov. Pat
tison, Chairman, presented a report on

that no divorce be granted except on the
grounds justified by the Scriptures, and
also that q committee be appointed to con-
fer with the Governors of all the States,
and endeavor to secure the enactment OF
uniform laws on this subject. The first
was amended by making it the sense of the
conference that divorce should not be
granted but for adultery. and any one
divorced for such reason, il he be
the guilty party, cannot be married
again by any minister of the church. The
report as amended was adopted.
