fBy telegraph 10 the DispsichI
PHILADELPHIA, PA, December p
The run on the Keystone National Bank
began again to-day with undated vigor.
4 crowd began to collect shortly before
10 o'clock. and when the heavy iron
door OF the bank was raised they
swarmed into the building and in few
minutes line of three or four hundred
people was formed. All personstresent-
ing checks for 800 or less werSIpsid in
currency. but any whose demands ex-
ceeded that amount were paid only 500
in cash and were given clearing house
due-bills for the balance. BY IN ar
rangement with the clearing house banks
these due.bllls Will be honored at any
bank
THE CITY DEPOSIT REMAINS.
The city deposit Of 100000 was al
lowed to remain, this City Treasurer ac-
ceptin0 the assurances of the directors
and Government Bank Examiner Drew
that the bank is solvent. The prompt
ness with which every check Was met
and heavy deposits made by number
of business-houses restored confidence
.in the stability Of the bank and by 2
o'clock the run was over. 1t ceased
with almost startling suddenness.
At u o'clock the building was
crowded with anxious and frightened
depositors waiting to draw their money.
At 2 o'clock not a single person stood in
front of the paying-teller's window, and
but very few were in the bank, and they
were only attending to ordinary bust
ness. From 10 o'clock till the run
ceased over S125, 900 in money and clear
ing-house due-bills were paid out over
| the counter.
