THE METROPOLITAN IN TROUBLE.
CINCINNATI, Feb. 1.-THE Metropolitan
bank directors held session this morning
at 10 o'clock. Pending the meeting the
payment of checks was suspended and a
long line of depositors gathered, reaching
from the payers desk to the street. la a
very few minutes, however, the payment
of checks began and at this writing the
line is much decreased. The directors are
still in session and what is transacted is
not yet known, except Nice-President de-
camps resignation has been accepted and
Louis krohn has been chosen in his place
Bank Examiner Sanders is at the bank,
but says he is too busy to say anything for
the benefit of the public.
The directors took no other action than
to elect Mr. krohn vice president in place
of Mr.. Decamp.
President Means, referring to the stop
page of payment, says there was no order
for it and no reason for it and that he did
not know there was any suspension. He
supposed it must have arisen from some
accident at the payers desk as no order
for suspension was given. Everything was
quiet at the bank at II O'Clock.

Chicago, received its first test on the
9th ult. Water began to flow
through the 2O6 miles of conduit
pipe, and the company will begin fill
ing the pipes with oil Sunday. 1t
will take eight days to pump 10000
into the line, and no appearance of
oil will be seen at the South Chicago
