ITS PRESIDENT AND KEYS, ALSO.
RoeHEsrER, N. Y, Aug. Dist
There is great excitement in the
lower part Of Orleans county,
which adjoins this county, caused
by the suspension to-day OF the
First National Bank of Albion, one
of The most important towns in
this section Of the State. Full
particulars are not yet obtainable.
On Wednesday last the president
of the bank, A. S. Warner,a prom
inent citizen and a millionaire, sud
denly left the town Of Albion. He
alone knew the secret Of the COM
bination of the inner safe of the
bank. Of vital Importance in this
connection is, Of course, the open
ing Of the safe, mhich should CON
tain the bulk of the securities and
part of the cash of the bank.
The affair is considerably COM
plicated by the connection of the
absconding president, Warner,
with very large estate as trustee.
In 1879 Mr.. Boswell s. Burrows,
one Of the wealtbiest men in north
western New York, died, leaving
an estate worth certainly $4,000
600, and by some estimated at
$4,000, 900. Mr.. Warner was ap-
pointed executor, together with
the wife Of Burrows; the son, Mr..
VIM. r. Burrows, and the son-in
Law, Mr.. Alexander Staurt. Since
the very beginning almost the en-
tire nnanagomentsor the estate has
been solely in Warmers charge,
and it was finally determined to
GUST Warner as executor. Suit
was entered for this purpose, and
on Monday last it was pressed to
q successful termination,
The capital Of the First Nation
al Bank is 100000. When it's
last annual report was made ithad
