A STATEMENT TO DEP0SIT0RS,
The Great Question Now Is the Matter of
securities-Comptroiler Lacey Says the
Outlook Grows More Hopeful Every
Hour.

BosToN, Nov. 10.-A comparis on Of the

doors were ordered closed show that in
the last week of the Mavericks business
its loans had decreased from S7,690,0O0 TO
S6,1G6600, a diminution of Al ,523, 400; the
amount due from reserve agents decreased
from 81, ,l35, 900 to $2SS, ,S42, a loss of $780,

not reserve agents, decreased from 81 O3l, ),

ings of legal tenders were reduced from
S6sl 600 TO s597 $50, a loss of So, $50; the
amount of specie in the vaults dropped
from s532,UO To $685., ,S3s, decrease of
sl94, 1862.
On the other hand, the individual de-
positors dropped from s3,1sl 900 to 81, ,95l, :

due TO other banks and bankers decreased
from s., ,S07, 900 to $500, 556, loss of s6O6.-

In other words, there was a run on the
bank to the extent of nearly one million
and half-to be exact, 81, ,25l.
The Maverick rallied all its resources to
meet this drain opon its vaults and sue

called in loans to the amount of 81 ,523, 400,

SS46, l5S, called on other banks for S235 AIS
more, and used $50, $50 of its legal tenders
and sl94, l62 of its specie to meet these de-
mands.
From all these sources AZ, ,s92 4SS were
drawn, and from these figures some light
will be thrown on the question how the
Maverick was able TO send 81, $50 900 TO the
clearing house to meet its obligations on
Thursday, Oct. 20; 81 ,250, 600 more ON Oct
80, and 81 300, 600 more on Oct. 81, the last

show, after these days of such an awful

situation as he stepped aboard train for
Washington was
I" | am now in possession of all informa-
tion as TO the condition of the bank. | am
pleased TO say that the outlook has become
more hopeful each hour. The chances of
the depositors are extremely good for
very much larger dividend than was at
first expected.
For failure of the magnitude this has
been, it will be felt very little, as the in
debtedness is composed mostly of small
amounts, and is scattered over the whole
country, largely in the West"

Mr.. fUlLER'S HEARING.
1t is Remarked That He Charges
Nothing But Discourtesy.

Comments on the streets in regard to
the Fuller investigation turn TO Mr.. Full
ler's statement under oath that he did
not bring charges against any one, but
simply claimed that he had not been cour.
teously treated by the other members of
the committee. Mr.. Batchelder asserted
that Mr. Fuller was not attending the
meetings regularly.
In regard to changes of contract and
doing work without contracting, the roof
ing of the Doyle avenue school house is
an instance Ii came up in the vacation
of the council and the chairman of the
committee asked the mayor whether a
meeting should be called, and was told
that it would be better TO go ahead and
put on the roof, which had been burned
off. The committee must be allowed some
discretion in such matters.
Mr.. Batchelder's statement that il was
the building and not the bond which the
city wanted is said TO be wise one. IL is
n principle which the mayor holds that
the city does not want to make n contract
for work which will not be well done,
simply because the contractor gives bond.
That is the point made. Suppose $4,000
bond was taken on a $4,000 school house
and the work was bad. The city could
take the $4,000 and would lose the $40, 900
and risk the lives of the pupils, perhaps.
Mr.. McGuinness was inclined to be
rather critical than judicial yesterday and
he rather confused Mr.. Batchelder
about the signing of contracts. The result
of the inquiries on that point showed that
he read carefully the manuscript part,
with the figures, and the rest was "a print
ed form.
Some time ago Mr.. Fuller went TO the
Mayor with his complaint and said he
would resign. The Mayor declined to ac-
cept his resignation, but told him to bring
the matter before the Board in writing.
The resolution was written in the Mayors
Office, and il was understood that il was
10 be given To Alderman Dyer, but il was
read by Alderman McGuinness in the
Board.
Henry G. Clark, who with Alderman
Fuller and Charles II. George, first made
complaints, is now understood TO he in
the field rs an independent candidate for
mayor. either by his own choice or at the
instance of some of his friends.
