On November 81. 1900, the bank
was declared insolvent and Rankin
was appointed receiver. The comp

assessment Of s44 per share upon
the stockholders of the bank for the
purpose of paving Its debts and
this not being sufficient secoud
assessment OF Sl4. 90 per share was
levied.
1t is asked that the people named,
all of whom are interested in the cs-

assessment ordered by direction of the
Comptroller Of the Currency with in
tercst from December -. 1900, and
that they be restrained from dispos.

filed and service secured yesterday,
and there is still considerable time in
which to file the defense. 1t will be

Left VIE With Lover.

Scranton, Pa, May S-Manager
Rudol ph Philips of the Germania
Theatre, New York, proved himself
the very personific of generosity
this morning in Police Court. when
he agreed to surrender his handsome
wife to Actor Franz Erlau and
throw IN $4,000 in cash and jewelry
worth as much more. to boot. Phil
lips did not feel like playi ing the role
of a generous husband yesterday
when lie placed the matter OF his
wife's elopement with Eriau in the
hands of Detective Dieter.
He followed the pair from New
York city to this city Tuesday. Ac-
companied by Philips, Detective
Dieter went to Klondyke Hotel, near
Mountain Lake, this morning, and
there found Erlau and Mrs. Philips.
The two were brought before Mag
istrate Howe, where most remark
able drama was enacted.
Philips had been under the i'm
preston that his wife was still true
to him, and had been spirited away
by Erlau under some hypnotic in-
fluence or that her sense OF duty had
been dulled by the effects of drugs
administered by the actor. The de-
fusion was rudely shattered by Mrs.
Phillips hcrselr, who told him that
she had ceased to care for him, and
that she loved the handsome actor
aad meant to live with him, mar
riage bond or no marriage bond.
Erlau strengthened the wife's state
ment, il it needed any, by making
an affidavit declaring that he had
used no drugs TO carry of Mrs. Phil.
lips. and that she had come with MIN
of her own volition.
That was enough for Philips. Lie
Immediately washed his hands OF
the whole affair and withdrew the
proceedings against his wife and
Erlau. Mrs. Phillips agreed not
to contest her husbands suit for
divorce. Then Phillips great gem
erosity was shown. Hc told his
wife she could keep the $4,000 IN
cash she took with her, besides
je welry OF an equal value. He also
gave her the household goods 10
their New York home. Papers TO
This effect we're drawn up aud sign-
ed and Philips hurried back to New
York, leaving his wife in the com.
pany OF her handsome actor-lover.
