THE GALVESTON FAILURE.
Condition of the Island City Savings Bank
The Outlook for DepOsit0rs.

GALVESTON, Tex, Jan. 27-The death of G.
G Wells and its attendant financial crash con
tinues to exclusively absorb the at
tention of the city. From early morning
groups of colored men were seen congregated
on the corners along Market street dis
cussing the tragic death Of Wells, and
eagerly seeking information from pass
ersby as to the probable outcome
of the Island City Savings Banks affairs. The
affairs of the bank, and also of the firm of
Wolston, Wells & Wider, are still in such
tangled condition that additional information
regarding either concern is exceedingly dif1cult
to obtain. even from those presumably well IN
formed. The doors ofthe Island City Savings Bank
were not opened this morning, except to admit
the officers of the court bearing fresh patches OF
attachments At o'clock this evening attach
ments aggregating 900 had been levied upon
the building, furniture and papers of the bank.
These attachments are taken by GER
tain depositors whose accounts range from
$500 to $4,000 The bank was doing
business under charter granted by the
legislature during the period of reconstruction.
This charter does not provide for
an annual statement on the part
of the board of directors, nor are the directors
or stockholders held specially liable for
deposits or other debts The statutory
law of Texas does not. under any
holders be held specially liable, and for
these reasons it is evident the failure
will prove very disastrous to the depositors,
unless the stockholders and directors voluntarily
undertake and assume the liabilities which the
directors are abuntantly able to do, all be-
ing men of large wealth, independent of
their bank shares The directors held a pro-
tracted meeting tonight, adjourning at IL
o'clock. They furnish the following statement
Liabilities-Due general depositors, $l36, 751;
due savings depositors $3.50, ESQ., due county de-
positors $751; 1877; due Northern banks, s., 1883; due
