Made Another Effort.

KINGSTON, N. Y, March 4-Counsel
for Matthew T. Trumpbour and James
E. Ostrander, the defaulting officials of
the Ulster County Savings Institution,
made another effort yesterday before
Judge Edwards, of Hudson, to secure
their release on bail. There was consid-
erabe argument as to the sufficiency of
securities offered for Trumpbour, and
the court granted the district-attorney
time to examine them. The additional
bondsman secured is Nathaniel Tomp-
kins, of Schoharie county, an uncle of
Trumpbour's wife, who wants to justify
in $40, 900. Ostrander does not appear to
be MS fortunate, some Of his bondsmen
having deserted him.
