\ BANK CLOSED.
The Cashier Finds a Deficit of Over
100000.

PALAnELPHIA, Nav %.
The Shackamaxon bank closed its doors
this forenoon. owing to the discovery of a de-
felt of over 10000
The cashier had called, upon the discovery
OF these facts, special meeting of the board
OF directors yesterday afternoon Geo.
Bumm. one of the directors and also a mem
Der of the firm of VIM Bumm 4 Sons,
vas present at the meeting and pleged the
firm as liable for the money which the firm
had drawn. and in consequence, his attorney
went into the court of common pleas aud con-
fessed Judgment in favor of the bank for
Sll5,000. The directors then resolved that
the banks operations should suspend for the
present; that it would be dishonest to receive
deposits when the account was overdrawn
$4,000 over the surplus and capital. Ac-
cordingly, at 10 A. NJ, the doors were not
opened.
The stockholders, it 10 said, will pay every
dollar Of Indebtedness. The directors, it is
understood, have 500, 900 locked up in the
bank. The city has about Sl4, 900 deposited
in the bank, which it is now said they cannot
resume.
The aggregate deficit is discovered to be
S2O3.OOO. or $50, 900 more than the combined
capital and surplus of the bank. No entry
was made of these transactions, but checks
are found which, it is supposed. the bank es-
tablished 10 years ago by Mr.. Bumm, who
acted as president until his death year ago.
Bumm practically owned the bank. Thos
l. Huggard was nominally cashier, but
Bumm managed the affairs with a sort of ex-
elusive care which precluded the possibility
of anyone else gaining an insight into his pc
cuiiar doings. When Bumm's successor as
sumed control very critical state of affairs
was found to exist
On Monday the auditing committee of the
board of directors met at the bank for the
purpose of examining the accounts. When
Cashier Huggard was called on to explain
matters he was suddenly i'll and was removed
to his home. Other directors were summoned
and general investigation proceeded with.
Yesterday it was discovered that large sums
of money had been obtained without their
authority. They found checks indicating
VIM. Bumm Sons. salt merchants, having
obtained $4,000, and Joseph Conklin, a
street cleaning contractor, the latter having
no account in the bank, had obtained $685.
