 NEW BRUNSWICK, N. J., Sept 9.-The suicide of President Runyon has been such a shock to the residents that they were ready to grasp any startling report. Early this morning it was rumored that ex-County Collector Levi D. Jarran, ex-postmaster of New Brunswick, had died in prison at Tren- ton upon hearing of the suicide of Runyon. He has been serving term of ten years for embedding. Chief of Police Fitzgerald, however, denied the rumor Mrs. Runyon seems to have recovered somewhat from her prostrated condition of yesterday. Miss Lillie Runyon, the suicides favorite daugh- ter, is said to have attempted in a fit of hys- teria on learning of her fathers death to throw herself into well. She is also feel ing more composed to-day. The friends of President Runyon are very much shocked over the verdict given by the coroner's jury, ''that he did voluntarily, feloniously and of his own malice aforethought kill and mur- der himself" He must have committed sui eide, his friends say, while temporarily in sane. It was feared the double shock which aged Director Johnson Letson has received would prove fatal to him, as he has recently lost his wife and the tragedy at the bank deeply affected him. To-day he was able, however, to sit up A rumor that MT. Davies, a clerk in the bank, had attempted to shoot himself proved likewise false.
 The doors of the National bank were opened this morning and Bank Examiner Shelly was on hand at an early hour. The only business done was the payment of notes. A crowd collected and appeared to find much to occupy their thoughts in looking at the building. Acting Cashier Campbell, who also said to have committed suicide last night, was on duty looking pale and careworn. In answer to tion that he was satisfied the depositors would be paid i'll full The capital stock at the last report was S250, 900 and the depos- it's about $500, ,0O0 The stockholders will probably be assessed quite heavily and the affairs wound up. The State is about to prosecute Directors Stoddard, Letson and Howell, who signed the notice posted on Sat urOay SC8ClnS that the cap1Gal or the DanK was intact and that the depositors would be paid in full. There was rumor this morn ing that the New Brunswick Gas company was involved, but that company's secretary assur- ed reporter that there was no foundation for the reports. How much of Hills deficits are due to political complications no one is yet able to tell. He is said to have expended fabulous sums to secure his late reelection to the county clerkship. The city's finances are not so bad as has been reported. There is no danger of bankruptcy, but owing to a deadlock in the council accommodation notes amounting to perhaps $1O0,000 cannot be renewed and may go to protest. To escape this citizens recently applied for a manda- mus compelling the board to organize. Last night an intellectual attempt was made in that direction and it will be renewed on Monday. Allegations are frequent of Hills connection with the ring of politicians who are known to have misadministered the city's affairs for some years past.
 At the opening of the September term of the Middlesex county court to-day Judge Scudder charged the grand jury to take cog nizance of the recent bank troubles for the purpose of protecting the public from further wrongs and losses of this description. He deplored the fact that those who are supposed to be the men guilty are beyond the reach of human justice, having been removed by death, and the whole sub iect of the control of the National bank be- longs primarily to another jurisdiction 'FBut," he added, f'let punishment for vice and fraud in all conditions of life be certain and inexorable.'
