SURPRISE and SHOCK
NEWS OF THE CLOSING OF THE
SAVINGS BANK OF ST.
PAUL
CAUSED A BIG CONNECTION

Five Thousand DepOsitors, None of
Whom Had Any IntimatiOn That
the Institution Was Not Solvent
Until They Read of Its Closing
Application Made for a Receiver
Effect on Other Banks.
+ From early yesterday morning long be-
fore banking hours and until after dark
last night the sidewalk in front of the
Savings Bank of st. Paul, at Sixth and
Cedar streets, was obscructed by groups
of people. The publication in the G o b e
yesterday morning that Bank Examiner
Pope had taken charge of the institution
creditors was a surprise and shock to
the general public, and more so to the
depositors of the bank.
The scenes around the door of the bank
during the day were anything but pleas
ant. The window curtains were closely
drawn and small card on the door stat
ed briefly that the bank examiner of the
state had taken charge VI the institution.
The crowd at O'clock numbered 100 per-
sons, and all seemed to have but one
object in view, and that was to get near
enough to the door of the bank to read
the, notice. This having been done the
depositors gathered in groups, and fell to
discussing the situation of affairs, sympa-
thiZing with each other, and arguing as
to the amount which the bank would
pay the depositors.
Gen. Pope placed J. o. Davis and Capt.
Compton Of his staff in charge, and these
gentlemen will remain until the court has
appointed a receiver. The application for
a receiver was made by Assistant At
torney General DonahOwer before Judge
Brill in the district court yesterday morn
ing. After reading the complaint, and
hearing the assistant attorney general
briefly Judge Brill issued an order to show
cause why application for a receiver
should not be granted. The order is re-
turnable Monday morning at 10 o'clock.
The complaint on which the application
is based sets forth that according to the
report of the public examiner the entire
capital stock of the bank, amounting to
100000. Is lost, and that in addition the
assets of the bank are impaired to an
amount upward of 5000, 900; that it's annual
business for a period of four and one-half
years past has been conducted at loss
of $4,000 per annum.
1t further alleges that prior to the 9Th
day of May, 1885, the defendant loaned
of the assets of the bank, in direct viola
ton of law, the aggregate sum of $43,-
619.06 to divers trustees and employees of
the bank.
The examination of April % showed that
on that date the aggregate liability OF
the bank to its depositors and stockhold-
ers amounted to the sum Of 81, 170,517 49,
The book value of the assets is placed at
