The Chronicle says A. L. Edwards is
visiting various business houses in vir-
ginia City for the purpose of examining
license receipts given by ex-Collictor
Morrison. His tour Of inspection will
occupy several days, and it will be some
time before the result Of his investiga.
ton will be made public. The impress.
sion is gaining ground that he will be
found to be defaulter to a much larger
sum than the figures given after cursory
examination Of his books.

4 SENSATIONAL REPORT.
RnmOFS Of Bank Suspending IN
Davenport said to have Orig
mated in Rock Island.

MANY wild and exciting rumOrs were
atloat here, and in Davenport yesterday,
concerning the alledged embarrassment
and suspension Of the well known Ger
man savings bank al Davenport. Excite.
ment became intense as the rumors
spread, and much anxiety WAS expressed
by those having deposits, in the institu>
ton, and business men generally. The
reports were to the effect that for TWO
weeks back there had been an unusual
run on the bank, and that some of the
heaviest deposit0rs had Withdrawn their
funds, and placed them elsewhere
Others, it was stated, Lad d, mAnded their
money and the bank had been unable to
meet them. On the day before Thanks
giving $500 had been taken out by de-
positOrs on this side Of the river alone.
The Davenport daily Der Democrat
the German paper printed hi Davenport,
and the proprietor of which is president
of the bank in question cont,iaed an ex-
tended article on the matter yes
terday morning in which IT was
stated that the rumors were with
out the least foundation, and had their
origin in the banks of Rock Island, the
officers of which had used this method of
preventing Rock Island people from de-
posting their money in the vaults of
Davenport banks
Last evening President fischer, of the
| German savings bank was interviewed.
and he stated that, while tine ruinors had
Occasioned a little uneasIness among de
pn>lOrs ard the Withdrawing of some of
| the deposits, claimed that the bunk had
never been in h more prosperous c0ndi-
ton than now, and was ready to meet
any demands that might come upon it.
no matter how urgent
The German savings bank at Daven
port has always been regarded as one OF
the sOuniest in the state of Iowa. Its
directors are all successful business men,
and careful financiers. and while these
unfounded rumors will naturally prove il
a measure detrimental to the bank, they
" i'll in no way cause it to shake. From
the fact that the banks Of Rock Island
pay no interest on deposits, and the Dav'
export banks pay rate of four and five
per cent, it is not surprising that !
great deal of the money of this city find
its way into the safekeeping of thu
banking houses across the river where q
gain is realized by so doing.

MOLINE,

The ball of the Iron Moulders Union at

usual grand affair and successful every
way. The dance seemed to be highly en-
joyed, and the music by the Light Guard

to melt crowd into one solid mass, and
how then run 1t into pleasure.
