Roxce,z Defalcation.

WILLIMANTIc Conn, March 24.-The report that
Royce the cashier of the Savings Institute had fed
Canada is doubt untrue Inquiry at the institute
eliets the information that Royce went New York
last night to about securing settlement with par
ties there whose paper held by the institute. This
looks as the directors trying to save as much
for depositors possible before taking steps to
rest Royce. The Savings Institute is crowded to-day
with depositors demanding certificates on which to
withdraw deposits, four months hence. They are all
accommodated and assured that they will not lose
it is thought something will be realized on the
doubtful paper Bank officials feel hopeful that they
will be able to business a sounder basis
than in the future The chief credit for
earthing the Royce theft and rescuing the bank from
wreck belongs to ex-State Treasurer Edwin A Buck
who accepted the position of president in June 1856
soon after which Royce's transactions began to be
disaovered
