Collapse Of the Farmers and Mechanics'
 Bank of Pittsburgh, Pa.-The Deposltors
 Feel shalSy, But the Stockholders Are
 Liable.
 PITTSBURGH, Pa, Oct 14-Ye Yesterday morning a card tackled to the door of the Farmers and Meehanic5' Bank, located at the corner of Eighteenth and Carson streets, South Side, reading: This bank Is closed by order of the board of direc- tors" caused much surprise and coasid- erable excitement when it became known throughout the city. A large number of the banks depositors assembled early in front of the building, bus no authentic information could be obtained other than that the banks affairs are now in the hands of j. II. Sors, II. J. Berg and $ Cunningham, assigaees. \ stockholder i'll the bank states that some time ago it was known that the bank was in trouble, aad that board of appraisers had been appointed to examine the assets oe tho institution. They decided that tho shares, the par value of which is fl00, were worth SG) each. The directors in turn submitted two propositions to the stockholders, which were accepted, and it was generally believed that the disaffec- ton existing was satisfactorily settled.
 IL is known that a number Of the heavier deposltors removed their funds from the bank several weeks ago. There are large number of small depositors who, ill the absence of official information, feel very shaky over their prospee.s. :. The directors refuse to talk about the condition of the bank, referring all com CTS to the assignees. It is stated semi officially, however, that all depositors will be paid in full, as the stoc ckholders are individually liable for twice the amount of their stock. The bank was or ganized in 1868, with capital stock oe S130 0o0. J. II. Sorg is president and H. J. Berg cashier. Last year the bank had surp'u of SIS, 010, and has always been considered safe institution. Rumors are atioat that number of South Side contractors have largely overdrawn their accounts. This, however, lacks confiyma- ton.
