in Pittsburg this morning at 7.30 O'Clock.
just in time to catch the Pennsylvania
train which left for New York at that
hour.
The hard work of yesterday and last
night had fatigued him SO much that he
overslept himself. The conductor of the
train was crying .'aH aboard when Mr.
and Mrs. Bryan and some others with
them came down the station platform.
A small knot of Pittsburg Democrats
were al the Union Station to see Mr..
Bryan off and they cheered him as the
train moved out. Mr. James Kerr, of
Clearfieid, Pa, ex-Congressman and ex-
Clerk Of the House of Representatives.

The first stop of the train was at
Greensburg, which was reached at $50
o'clock. A cheer from the station plat
form announced to Mr.. Bryan that he did
not lack supporters there. The Demo-
cra'tic Club of the town, stepping to the
music Of drum corps, marched to the
rear of the train and several hundred
other spectators gathered around
There was more cheering as Mr.. Bryan
appeared and the few moments the train

The Murray Hill Bank is one of the
oldest in New York and enjoyed a large
patronage among the business men and
smaller traders on the East side. 1t was
organized and conducted under the State
Banking law. The capital stock of the
bank is 100000
In the absence of any authoritative
statement upon the condition of the bank
the rumor of the street was generally
accepted as true. This was that the in
stitution had deposits to the extent of
about $125O.000. 1t was also the general
opinion that the creditors of the bank
would be paid in full
Experts thought that the Murray Hill
Banks troubles arose primarily from the
fact that the officers and directors had
been forced to take over large quantities
of real estate. which they had accepted
as security for loans. This has cramped
them for ready cash, and they have found
that they will be unable to meet all de-
mands upon them. Hence, of course, the
State Bank Examiner was called In and
il was deemed best to suspend business
until the best course to be pursued to
protect all the creditors of the bank can
be decided upon.
The President of the bank is Mr.. F. C.
Hopkins. and the cashier A H Gale.
The Murray Hill Bank was organized in
1880, and in August, 1874, the officers re-
ported a surplus of 100000.
They also carried IN their statemnt at
that time an item of Slo6,S27 of undivided
profits.
1t is said that There are about LOO de-
posftors- The only large accounts 1T held
were those of breweres.
The bank has been regarded as one of
the strongest ones of the State financial
institutions in the city For many years
the bank was managed by the late VIII
liam A. Darling, at one Time ps'onilsrit
real estate dealer and Republican -pnlits-
can. Fl was succeeded by Mr.. Hopkins.
The new management, 1T IS reported, did
the best it could with the assets, but
could not realize upon the equities 1t held
in real estate with sufficient rapidIy to
meet the demands of Its creditors.
The directors of the Murray Hill Bank
are: Rufus NJ. SltoVers John w. Eber,
