the Merchants and Mechanical Bank.
The crash OF the City Bank promises
that runs will be made on other banks
tomorrow, but all of these bauis' are
prepared. and all demands will be met
in full.
Cashier Jessup stated to day that he
was utterly astonished when he was put
under arrest on the charge OF embezzle-
ment. He denies the charge aud says
tha' he has rot used illegally the bank 5
funds nor did he purpose going TO Can
