CAPITAL SAVINGS BANK
RECEIVERS MAKE REPORT
Affairs of Institution Said tc Be in
Bad Shape

The receivers OF the Capital Savings
Bank made a partial report late yes
terday afternoon to Justice Hagner, and
asked for further instructions in con-
nection with the matter. The report is
sfgred by Messrs John Ridout. Joseph
II stewart, and Thomas Walker.
1t 5 stated that when they took pos
session of the bank. s167.2t In cash was
found in the vaults. Since then there
has been received in cash from D. B.
McCary, the cashier. s373-9s, from L. c.
Bailey, the treasurer, $$5, and from
Moore & Hill. for rent, $25.43. This
money, it is stated, has been deposited
in the Second National Bank. which the
receivers say has been chosen as de
pository for their funds.
The affairs of the bank, the receivers
report; are most unsatisfactory and dis
oouraging. Notes representing loans 1t
is said, are of very doubtful value; the
real estate is heavily incumbeTed. and
in a number of instances foreclosures
are imminent.
