Special Correspondence of the standard.
LIVINGSTON, Feb. 18.-The third divi-
dend of the defunct Livingston National
bank is being paid by Receiver Mercer.
II amounts to 10 per cent. The other two
dividends were 20 per cent. each. The
bank has been two years in paying depos-
itors onc-half of their money, and unless
the business is wound up pretty soon the
expense being incurred in settling the al
fairs will eat up about 20 per cent. of the
entire available assets of the institution.
The present indications are that when
final settlement is made, which may not
be for another year. depostors will have
received less than 20 per cent. of their
money. The next dividend will be about
10 per cent. and will be declared about the
first of June. A portion of this sum will
be derived from the 5000 life insurance
policy of Assistant Cashier Ala n Macono-
chic, who died in st. Paul recently. 1t
seems hard to take what should go to the
moor widow and her little orphan baby,
but such is the memorable decree. Ma
conochie not only turned over his little
home and every bit of property and every
dollar he possessed, but so great was his
sense of honor that he even transferred
to the bank his life insurance policy, and
died leaving his wife and child penniless.
