THE KEYSTONE BANK TRoUBLEa
It 10 Learned that It's Ex.Fresiaent New
Dead, Owed u Large Sumo.

PHrIApE1pH1A. March a. - Facts were
brought to light to-day which indicate that the
trouble In the Keystone National Bank. which
was closed by the Comptroller OF the Currency
on Friday last, dates far back OF the run inauR-
urated during the financial strinRency OF last
December.
1t was stated to-day that President John Luz
cas-, who died In 1888. owed the bank large
sums Of money. and that this fact was con-
cealed from several OF the directors, although
known to the others.
President Luous at the time Or his death
owned the keystone Bank building. hand
some structure, the erection Of which cost over
100000. This he Is said to have built with
funds borrowed from the bank.
Lucas's death resulted from cold contracted

ing At the time Of the trouble In December
the widow OF Mr.. Lucas turned the building.
which had been mortgaged by her late hus-
band for 100000. over to the Board OF
Directors.
1t was announced then that she had Rener-
ously come to the assistance OF the distressed
institution. The building was Immediately
cold for s175OO0 above the mortgage. After
the December trouble had tided over
five OF the directors. 1t is said, learned for
the first time that Mr.. Lucas had used the
bank funds. These directors were reelected at
the January meeting OF the stockholders. but
refused to servo aud their places have not
since been filed.
Ona Of the five Is said to have advanced tho
bank 100000 at the time Of the run. and lie
also went security for $50 900 more borrowed
from tho Clearing House Association.
Tho Association at the time advanced the
bank $7s0.0O0. all but 100000 Of which has
been paid back. 1t is now thought that a
heavy assessment Of the stockholders will be
necessary for the bank to resume.
