OPENED IT'S DOORS.
No Run Yet Made on Cape Ann
Savings Bank.
Commissioners Examining the Securities
OF The Institution.

GLOUCESTER, Mass, Oct. 9.-1h he sensa
tional suicide OF Treasurer George J.
Marsh of the Cape Ann Savings HANK and
the discovery that probably 100000 in
trust funds of the Gilbert estate and the
Gilbert home were missing was first in
the minds of Gloucester people this
morning. Only q small percentage OF its
citizens and business men learned of the
Gffair last night. as 1t was almost evening
before the actual news became known.
The surprise excited by last nights de-
veolpments was therefore greatly aug
mented this morning end every body
practically was discussing Marsh's un-
timely end. Mr. Marsh was known to al
most every business man in the city and
has at different times had dealings with
many OF them.
The Cape Ann Bank opened it's doors
this m orning for business, contrary to
expectations. There was no demonstra-
tion by depositors that might be con-
strued az "Run." Quite number OF
people, most of whom ha bank books,
appeared soon after the doors were open,
and they left their books for adjustment
and asked to withdraw their deposits.
The requests will be granted in all cases
where the accounts are less than $50.
Upon all deposits above this amount the
bank officials will exact the usual 60 days.
notice of withdrawal, as provided by
law. The general opinion of business
men here is that the bank will be able to
continue without difficulty as 1t was one
OF the strongest savings institution In
the State.
An examination of trust funds and Sc
curities held by the bank, is being made
at Boston this forenoon. The securities
are deposited with the Union Safe Depos-
it Company, in that city, and last night
the bank commissioners determined to
go to the vaults today and make thor
ough examination. The exact condition
of the bank cannot be announced until
after this work is completed.

Considerable excitement obtained here
until the result of the bank commission
ers' examination was made public this
morning. Just before noon tiiae it was
announced that all the securities had
been found intact. The surplus earnings
.of the bank are about $500, 900, SO that
even IL Marsh had felt so inclined he
would have been practically unable to
have taken enough OF The bank funds so
tina: it's stability would have been shaken.
