The Lezin6ton's
Savings Bank
IN THE HANDS OF RECEIV
ERS-SEVEN HUNDRED
DEPOSITORS LOOSE
THEIR MONEY.

Mr.. Waring was the absconde1
of the colored Savings Bank in
Lexington, KY. 1t was a great
surprise to the Lexington people,
as it had passed through the tinan-
clal panic. Mr.. Warning had
always been held in high esteem
by the people. In 1892 he was
appointed pension examiner at
Washington, and had held several
other offices OF trust. He is esti-
mated to be worth about $4,000.
He was the first colored lawyer
admitted to the bar in Maryland.
Below we give You clipping
from the Afro American, of Balti-
more, Nd.
Monday afternoons papers gave the
colored people OF Baltimore the first init
nation that the Lexington Savings Bank,
the last corporation doing business III
Baltimore among the co.ored people, had
closed Its doors. The news came like a
thunder clap ont of q clear sky, for no one
was expecting such a result. What added
fuel to the flame was that Mr.. Warng
could not be found. He was at the bank
Saturday and had. presumably, gone
home, but inquiry at his home failed to
relieve the strain, for his wife did not
know where he was, he having stated to
her that he was going to Washington.
All day Monday and Tuesday an orderly
crowd surrounded the bank and tried to
gain some information as to the condition
of aftails. All day Tuesday safe experts
were engaged in trying to get the big safe
open, aud did not succeed until nearly
night. Mr.. Waring alone having the
combination. Early in the day two white
men, +. o. Singer, Jr., and Il Mr.. Betz,
Mr.. Singer owning four shares Of sl00,
and Mr. Betz being creditor for $25.
went before Judge Stockbrldge and had a
receiver appointed. The Drsversand Me-
chanics Bank also applied for a co.receiver
and had one appointed.
The condition OF affairs as they now
stand seems to be about as follows: Due
Drovers and Mechanics Bank $1,000,
$500 Of which is secured. Various other
amounts will possibly bring the sum total
up to $4,000 The largest amount on
deposit was 5000. -"

Draws the Color Line.

The East side Dunkard church
got itself into trouble on the color
line question, as there was quite
a number Of colored children at
tending their Sunday school, also
members OF their church.
The present pastor is Mr.. Sham
berger who, it is said, does not
like the intermingling Of the white
and colored children in the Sun
day school room or any where else.
He concluded to make division
of the classes in soch a way that
the colored pupils wonld set by
themselves, with colored lady
for teacher. The superintendent
demurred at first but finally gave in
to the pastor and the rule was
made that the white children should
sit in one section of the church
and the colored ones in another
place. This has caused some of
the parents of the colored boys
and girls to kick very forcibIy and
declare that unless the rule are
withdrawn they would leave the
the church and take their families
with them.
