PBILLIPsBURG. Pa. Oct. 6.-This
community was greatly excited to-day
by the following announcement which
was posted on the doors OF the Phil.
lipsburg Bank, supposed to be the one
OF the strongest private institutions In
this part Of the State:
The continued demand Of our dsposi.ors 10
greater than we meet as onoe. We deem it
best for all their interests TO suspend pay ment
and liquidate our affairs. We firmly believe We
can pay every dcpositor In full.
o. PERRY JoSEs Cashier.
Ever since the Cleartield Bank
closed and the Houtzdale Bank failed
the Phillipsburg institution has ex-
perlenced an unprecedented run. The
miners and their friends became
alarmed and began run, steadily
withdrawing their deposits OF $500 to
$1,000. and many thousands OF dollars
were thus paid out during the last
three days. Then the heavy deposL
tors took fright and began a quiet
checking OF their balances, which re-
suited In the announcement to-day.
The effect OF closing the Phillips
burg Bank can hardly be estimated.
This city lies close to Houtzdalc, while
Clearfield Is not far away. and rs all
depend for their prosperity largely
upon mining and lumber, the panic
cannot be fully measured. It Is feared
that many individuals will 60 down In
the crash that seems imminent here.
