The Asbury PARK Bank Was Used.

New YoRK, March 5. The Evening Post
says it has been learned that Pell, Simmons,
Wallack and the other bank wreckers used
the Asbury Park IN. J) National bank In
their check kiting operations. Sigmund
Meyer, whose connection with the wreckers
has been alleged, was interested in the
Asbury Park concern. II does not appear
that the bank lost anything by the opera
tions Of the wreckers, but the fact that there
were business transactions Of the kind re-
ferred to led the national bank examiner to
inquire into the condition Of the bsnk, aud
this resulted In the discovery that tho presl.
dent, George w. Byram, had loaned the
banks funds to himself for use in real
estate speculations to the extent Of 500, 600
The banks capital is 100000, and the law
permits only 10 per cent. Of this amount L
be loaned in the manner that Byram had
loaned it. Byram is making the amount
good, and the bank will doubtless beallowed
to continue business.

Paternoster row is the name of a

shadow OF st. Paul's cathedral. 1t is
so called, according to antiquarians.
from the fact that 400 OF 500 years ago
the makers of rosaries or pater nosters
lived and had their shops there. As
education became general religious
books were added TO the stock in trade,
and in course of time the entire street
was given up TO publishers and sta
TONERS establishments. No vehicles
were formerly allowed TO enter the
street, which, although in the midst Of
"A great metropolis, was thus kept quiet,
and even at present it is not a general
thoroughfare.
Many Of the essayists and poets of a
century ago mention it, and not always
in the Gaese severential terms. As Pa
ternoster row was the publication cen
ter, so Grub street, % Milton street,
so called not from the poet, but from n

OF the writing fraternity. 1t was filled
with houses of mean aspect and poor
