BIC MORTGAGE WORTHLESS.
Commercials Depositors Excited
Over This New Development
Grening's Saratoga Hotel Pledged
to Snedsker Tor $4,000.

Depositors of the suspended CONNER
cial Bank in Brooklyn were thoroughly
aroused this morning over tho latest
sensational developments in the manage
ment Of the wrecked institution. 1t has
become known that the fourth mortgage
held by the bank on Paul C. Grening s
Saratoga hotel for $4,000 is regarded as
almost worthless.
The matter will be reported by the
Committee Of Five at meeting OF dc.
positors Friday night. II is expected
that a proposition recently made to place
che affairs of the bank before the Grand
Jury will be advised.
Mr. Haviland, President Of the organ
liza ton of the depositors, unearthed the
latest facts by looking over the records
at Saratoga.
He found that MIR. Grening had mort.
to Director Ebert Snedeker. Oct. TO-
1889. Sept. 6. 1893. an assignment from
Director Snedeker to the bank was re-
corded.
The depositors want to know why the
assignment of the mortgage to the Com
mercial Bank, executed Oct. 10, 1889, was
not recorded until Sept. 8, 1898. nearly a
month after the bank had suspended
When Mr. Grenlng took the Kenslns-
ton, Mr.. iiaviland sa%S 1t was subject
think the hotel would sell for more than
S50T0 at the highest price.
Al the meeting of depositors Friday
night the Committee of Five will report
on their trip to Albany.
They say that Banking Supt. Preston
admitted before them to Gov. Flower
that in 1892 the capital OF the bank had
been impaired $1,000 He also said at
one time the bank had been compelled
to make daily reports.
These admissions. the depositors
claim, sustain their charges aginst Mr.,
Preston that he knew OF the weakness
of the bank two years before 1t failed.
