A BANK SEEKS A COMPROMISE.
DEPOsIToRs OFFERED NOTES IN
PAYMENT.

stockholders and Directors Come
Forward with SS5 900 to Make the
Proposition PossIbIe-Rumors That
Certain DepOsitors Were on the
Point OF Beginning Proceedings
on the Criminal side of the Court.
Atlanta, Ca. Nov. @.-The receivers of
the Merchants Bank this afternoon an
nounced a proposition for the payment
of the depositors. Since the failure of the
bank, month ago, the receivers have
been hard at work on the assets. They
found that there was not enough availa-
BILE to meet all of the depositors at once.
but in order to insure the final payment
of all, dollar for dollar, an arrangement
was made with certain stockholders and
directors of the bank by which the latter
agreed to put up additional money and
give Endorsements amounting to approxl-
mately 100000 for the purpose of effect
ing settlement. Under the proposition
made by the receivers to the depositors.
the latter are to receive their money in
installments, receivers certificates to be
issued for the deferred payments. and
these certificates to bear per cent. inter-
est from the date of the failure of the
bank. The proposition is to pay the de-
positors 20 per cent in December next,
20 per cent. May /, 1897. 10 per cent. Aug
1, 1897, 10 per cent. Nov. l. 1897, 20 per
cent Feb /. 1898. and 20 per cent. May /.
1898. Those who put in the additional
money and made possible this proposl-
tion are President Porter, who comes for
ward with $4,000; Vice President Wiley,
$4,000; T. l.. Langston, $4,000; George
Winship, $4,000; A. d. Adair, $4,000 and
]. c. Veach, $4,000.
The proposition viii have to be accented
by all the depositors before II goes into
effect. The receivers believe that ii will
be accepted. The only condition attached
to it is that all suits brought by the cred
itors be withdrawn. Under this head 1t is
said that some sensational developments
were about to be made when the offer for
settlement came to-day. 1t is said that
criminal prosecution was about to be in
stituted against the officers of the bank
by certain depositors. 1t Is known that
preliminary steps in this direction were
taken and 1t may be that this had an i'm
portant bearing on the putting up OF the
extra assets by which the bank was en-
abled to make the proposition for settle
ment.

sEABoARD's sLAsHING.
President Hoffman Tells why the
Sale Fell Through.

Atlanta, Ga, Nov. 20-The annual meet
ing of the stockholders of the Georgia,
Carolina and Northern railroad and of the
Seaboard Air Line Belt railroad were
held here to-day. President Hoffman and
Vice President st. John of the seaboard
Air Line were both here in attendance
upon the meetings, together with other
prominent railroad men connected with
the Seaboard Air Line system. All the
old officers of both the Georgia, Carolina
and Northern and the Belt line were re-
elected, the officers of the Georgia, Caro-
lima and Northern being r. f. Hoke presi-
dent; r. c. Hoffman, vice president; j.
H. Sharpe, treasurer, and J. NJ Sherwood,
secretary. The officers of the Belt line
reelected are r. c. Hoffman, president;
p. st. John, vice president; ]. H. Sharpe,
treasurer. and j. NJ Sherwood, secretary.
In speaking of the failure of the Ryan
syndicate to get possession of the Sea-
board Air Line, President Hoffman said
the real reason why the deal failed was
that the stockholders believed their stock
to be worth more than the prices offered,
$125 per share. The Seaboard Air Line
he said, will continue to be an independ-
ent line. but he declined to discuss the
probability of the re-opening of the rate
war with the Southern. He said that the
Seaboard Air Line was not the instigator
of the recent war, but that 1t was brought
about by underhand cutting on the part of
the Southern, which forced the Seaboard
Air Line to make an openeannouncement
of the cuts At both meetings a resolution
indorsing the course of the Seaboard in
the rate war with the Southern were
unanimously adonted

FALSE REPORT or A SHORTAGE
The Postmaster of Memphis Put In
False Position.

st. Louis, Mo, Nov. pa special from
Memphis, Tenn, says that bondsmen OF
r. B. Armour, postmaster of that city,
have been called upon to make good a
shortage amounting to sl2,SO0. Several
months ago the postmaster was found to
be short to the extent of 50, 200. The short
age has been made good so that Armour
has not been arrested. AS partial reim-
bursement for his suretes, Armour made
over to them property in which he had
an equity interest of about $1,000.
Washington, Nov. 20.-Up to the hour
of closing to-day the postoffice Depart
ment had received no advice to the effect
that the bondsrnen of Postmaster Armour
at Memphis, Tenn, had been called upon
to make good shortage of $12, 800 as al
legged in q special dispatch from Memphis
to st. Louis newspaper. The story was
doubted by the chief postofTlce Inspector
who passes most of his time at that
point. Postmaster General Wilson has
