RICHMOND March 13--Hon. A. D. Lynch,
receiver Of the Richmond National Bank, has, in
accordance with instructions from Comptroller
Cannon, notified the stockholders of an assess
ment Of one hundred per cent on their respec-
tive shares, same to be paid in equal install
ments, thirty and sixty days hence. This assess
ment on the entire number of shares would yield
$3.50 000 but, unucky for the depositors the hold
ers of only about $5 900 worth of stock can be de
pended upon to meet the assessment How
ever, with this and 800 900 accumulated since
he paid 1000 on 10 per cent dividend a
couple of months ago, Receiver Lynch will GER
tainly be able to pay 25 per cent. dividend at
the expiration of ninety days. when he will have
probably received $4,000 more on matured
paper.
What per cent the creditors will ultimately
get depends on what more can be realized out of
something over 100000 worth of real estate,
and something less than $500, 900 worth of paper,
much of which is Of doubtful value, and all of
which will have to be carried-no telling how
long. 1t is confidently asserted, however, that
the creditors will get nearer seventy five than
fifty cents on the dollar. When the bank broke
the assets were stated at 602 500 and liabilities
at $3.50 600

auguratiOn Week.
WASHINGTON, March l3.-The amount oil
business transacted by the Washington office of
the Western Union Telegraph company during
the week ending March Z, last, Was greater than
in any previous inaugural week in the history Of
the Office. In the week OF the Inauguration of
1881 the number of words of press matter sent
was 400, $50, and of private messages 1900; in
the recent inaugural week the number of words
of press matter handled was S17,276, and
private messages $3.50, an increase of more
than 2I7, 900 words of press matter and nearly
10, 900 in messages over the corresponding week
IN 1881 The greatly increased newspaper space
given to descriptions of the inauguration of
President Cleveland, as compared with that of
President Garfield is shown by the fact that 2Jo
900 words Of press matter were sent from the
Washington Office March T. 1885, against 1856 600
III 1851, an increase of nearly go, 900 words This
immense volume of business was handled, under
the skillfnl direction Of Manager Marean with
a promptness and accuracy never before at
tanned. During the week which followed the
assassination of President Garfield tho amount
Of press matter sent from the Washington Office
was somewhat larger than that sent the recent
inauguration week, but. the volume of general
business was much smaller and the aggregate of
work done considerably less.
