ALBANY, N. Y, Jan. 2S.-There was
an exciting time at the Albany County
Bank in this city yesterday afternoon.
Cashier John Templeton died short
time ago and yesterday the directors
met to elect his successor. 1t was ex-
pected that David s. Mann, then teller,
who has been in the bank for nearly
twenty years, would be promoted. But
there was hitch in the programme,
and, during the stormy session OF the
board, one of the directors is credited
with saying that they did not want any
''SheeDy' as the head Of their bank.
When Mr.. Mann heard this he re-
signed at once, and two of the direc-
tors, one of whom was Dudley Farlin,
also rendered their designations, saying
they could not afford to be connected
with an institution where such ideas
prevailed. The directors then selected
VIM. N Sanders, well known busi-
ness man, as cashier.
No sooner was their action known on
the street and the alleged insult to the
race noised abroad, than the Jewish Gus
toners of the bank began to withdraw
their deposits. Within an hour crowd
Of angry men, representing some of the
largest houses in the city and the bank $
best customers, filed the space in front
Of the desk demanding that their ac-
counts be closed at once. One man re-
ceived q certified check for nearly
5000, 900, and il is said that nearly half
q million was withdrawn
The proceedings will probably be
continued to-day but the banks officers
say they can stand it and are satisfied
with their choice. The matter is TIE
leading subject of conversation in town.
Revenge Taken on the w. q. t. U.
MILWAUKEE. WIS, Jan. 2S.-The
Woman's Christian Temperance Union
here, yesterday, received formal notice
from the directors Of the Young Men S
Christian Association building. The
notice says that, having allied them
selves with the Prohibition party, the
women must be treated like any other
political organization, and are there
fore debarred from occupying quarters
in the Young Mems Christian Associa-
ton building. This charge grows out
of the action taken at the Chicago con.
vention recently, which the local union
indorsed. The Young Mems Christian
Association people are exceedingly
loath to talk about the matter. Secre.
tary Willetts said last evening he would
let the directors explain if they saw fit.
tits hinted in outside circles that one
of the reasons for the action on the part
of the directors was that several liberal
subscribers to the Young Men Chris
tian Association funds complained
about the ladies being in the building
saying they were really the Prohibition
party.
