BULLDoZING BANKERS.
Amusing Warfare Between New
Jersey Banks.

PHLADELPHrA, April 10.
The refusal of the city national bank of
Salem, n. j., to accept certain terms of
exchange offered by the Woodstown, N. J.
national bank, has involved those institu-
tions in a war which has assumed comical
aspect. As the Salem bank receives on de-
posit daily large number of the Woods
town bank checks, amesssenger is dispatched
to the latter place, eight miles distant
twice week to receive money for the
same. In order to punish the Salem people
Cashier Fltcroft has imported from Phila-
delphia thousands of dollars worth of silver
coin. 1t is counted in bags.
Messenger Poxell, whom the Salem bank
sent down last week, protested, whereupon
Cashier Flitcraft yesterday, when Powell ap-
peared with $500 in checks, wheeled out
the money in q ~heelbarrow to the middle of
the bank and dumped the whole amount
loose op the floor, compelling Powell to
count it. When bags we're asked for to
carry the money to Salem, Cashier Flitcraft
politely responded that banks were not in the
habit Of furnishing patrons with purses.
Powell sent for team and an armed guard
to assist him in the transportation of his bur
den. The war continues
