There have been many rumors in this community
since the death of the late John H. Alleman, es-
pecaly in the last few days, to the condition OF
the First National Bank of Hanover, of which he
was for so many years cashier. These rumors were
not so general however, as to create any uneasi-
ness among the depositors of the bank. Finally
the announcement was made, last Saturday after
noon, that there was shortage in his accounts,
which was ultimately stated officially to be about
$57 900.
The expert accountant employed by the officials
of the bank, and the examiner representing the
National Government, agreed after carefully 60
ing over the accounts, that the deficit will not ex-
coed the amount of S57 900, with possibility of it
being greatly reduced.
From present indications there is every reason to
believe that this shortage has been caused entirely
by oyer-indulgence in customers, i'll permitting
overdrafts, well clerical errors, etc. and that
the late ]. Fl. Alleman who enjoyed the confidence
of the officials of the bank well the people at
large, was not personally benefited in any manner
through this deficit. Nevertheless it is true that
in order to keep his books in perfect balance, it
seems, from what knowledge we have been able to
obtain, that he adopted plan which is generally
known as the Exiting System" by carrying ac-
counts with different banks which he failed to
show on his ledger, and would use SAID banks to
make good his reserve funds with the exchange
banks
The sureties on the bond of the late Cashier Allie
man are Stephen Keefer, Isaac Loucks and ]. W.
Git, all now dead, and D. S. Barnitz The amount
of the bond is $4,000 and D. S. Barnitz and the
estates of the deceased sureties are solvent this
amount will ultimately be recovered by the bank,
reducing the amount short to about S27 O0O AS the
banks last statement September 2Oth shows a sur
plus of 100000, and undivided profits of S11 1868 49,
the institution is not only perfectly solvent but
has still surplus all its liabilities including
its capital stock of S44 600

We cannot understand just why we should
ever have the fever enter our town, as it is so
beautifully situated and quite elevated.
Hallow Fen was merrily celebrated here
by some of the town people who like little
fun now and then. The following morning
the business people all found their places of
business had been visited during the night
and had little difficulty getting into their re-

benches, wheelbarrows, ETC., piled up at doors
and windows, but nothing injured, which was
proof that it was merely piece of fun.
There was an oyster supper held at the M.

The literary people of the town are talking
of getting up an entertainment for the near
future, which we are sure will be a perfect

to endanger the lives and property of the citi-
