The Other Sam.

The run on Sam Mavericks bank
Saturday was accompanied by run
on the bank of the other "Sam," our
respected uncle, who keeps shop in
the big white stone building on the
other corner. The panic seemed to
render men fearful even of the gov
eminent, and people having money
and postal orders rushed to have
them cashed. More money was paid
out at the postoffice Saturday, by a
large amount, than ever before in a
single day, and twice as much as had
been drawn during any previous day
of the week.

THE FURRY OVER.
So a Meeting of the Bankers Decid-
ed Last Night

The bankers of San Antonio met last
evening at Colonel Wright's for the pur-
pose of ascertainIng the condition of the
Maverick bank. aud found its affairs in
such CONDITION as to give no uneaSineSS
10 depositors. They rendered to Mr..
Maverick their full sympathy and con
graduated him upon his success in meet
ing the unprecedented run of Saturday
without material aid from the other
banks of the city, and assured him that
they are ready to furnish him all the aid
necessary in the event of continuance
of demands upon him today.
1t was believed, however, that conf
dence had already been restored. The
large amount of property owned by Mr..
Maverick and liable for all demands
against him makes the small amount OF
deposits remaining I'm the bank at this
time seem insignificant and all fears on
the part of depOSitors entirely ground
less.
The following banks were represented
at the meeting: Thornton, Wright & Co.
the Lockwood National, d. Sullivan &
Co., T. c. Frost, +. GrOOS & CO.. the San
Antonio National and the Texas Nat.
ional.

A run on bank is q new thing for

thepeople carried the banker through
the streets on their shoulders because
he simply paid his honest debts. 1t
never happened anywhere else.

presiding over the city council than
shaving the face of the poor.
