AFTER M AMY YEARS.
Sum of $4,000 Turned Over to Penobscot
County by Bank Receiver.

In the supreme court at Bangor, Mon
day. action was taken in one Of the most
curious cases which ever cam to the at
tention Of savings bank authorities in
New England.
Twenty years ago the Newport savings
bank became defunot and yet scores OF
the depositors have not claimed their
money, and cannot be found, even.
In August, 1878, the bank passed into
the hands of John W. Hobart as receiver.
The usual process of settlement was be-
gun. In 1889 the sum Of deposits left I'm
claimed amounted to 10000, and the
court issued final order Of distribution.
Then the case dropped out of sight. Mr..
Hobart moved to Boston, and though he
kept diligently at work, Maine people
heard little Of him.
Not many months ago Bank Examiner
Timberlake received notice from Justice
port bank case was pending still, and that
If not settled at once it would be dis
mi ssed from the docket.
This was the first Mr.. Timberlake knew
ofsthe!case, which had originated with
another bank examiner and was not even
recorded on the books of the examiner g
office. Steps were at once taken for q
disposition of the case, and care was
taken that it was not dismissed.
Monday afternoon Receiver Hobart,
Bank Examiner Timberlake and Frank
lin A. Wilson, as attorney, appeared in
court and asked for decree In the case.
The receivers report, as filed, shows
about 200 depositors yet undiscovered,
with balance unclaimed of $1,000
According to the order Of the court this
sum will now be deposited in the treasury
of Penobscot county, in trust for the I'M
known depositors. Their claims are good
and they can get their cash on applica-
ton.
