WILMINGTON, n. c., August 2S.-The
cashier Of the Wilmington Savings and
Trust Company who left here last eve
ming on the north-bound train of the At
iantio-Coast Line, created a great sensa-
ton and alarm among the depositors, and
quite a number went to the bank during
the day and withdrew their money. Many
others. however. who went to the bank
let their money remain, after ascertain
ing that there was no danger OF loss. j.
w. Norwood. president OF the bank, end
also president OF the Atlantic National
Bank, n man OF large means, and the
directors of the bank. gave their written
guarantees 10 all who desired them to
indemnify them against loss.
The other banks here were also ready
to extend any aid that might be asked.
The deposits aggregate SGGO,00
The number Of depositors approximates
four thousand. Up to o'clock tonight 4
per cent of these had withdrawn their
deposits.
BANK LOSES NOTHING.
A director of the bank stated TO the
representative of the Associated Press
this evening that the cashiers books were
audited from time to time, and pass
books called I'm for verhcaton. This work
has been thoroughly done during the past
tive days, and as result OF this eXami-
nation the directors will publish card
tomorrow, stating that the bank will not
lose a dollar by the absence Of the cash.
Ter. They will also publish another card
stating that the stock is worth 90 per
cent. premium after paying depositors
in full, and offering to buy any stock Of
ferd at Sl60 per share.
A notice was also posted on the door OF
the bank, announcing that all depositors

ABSENTEE'S HABITS GOOD.
Mr.. Sloan Is a married man, about 30
years old. His habits are exemplary, and
no Is not addicted to drinking or any
other vice. The securities and all OF the
cash Of the savings bank, except ssOI. are
held by the directors on deposit in an
other bank, and none OF the directors be-
lieyes he has been guilty OF intentional
wrong. His family believe that from
overwork and bad health his mind was
unbalanced, as he would not have left
the city.
1t Is thought that the uneasiness among
the depositors is rapidly giving way TO a
feeling OF confidence. and that there will
DO little OF no trouble tomorrow.
