SUBMIT FIRST REPORT
RECEIVERS OF DEFUNCT CAPT.
TAI SAVINGS BANK.
Declare the Condition of Affairs of the
Institution Are Anything
but Satisfactory.

Justice Hagner, in Equity Court No. /,
has authorized the receivers of the Capital
Savings Bank. which recently suspended
payment. to cause the. examination of the
condition of that institution to be made by
one of the official bank examiners.
The receivers have submitted their first
report to the court. They explain that they
have SO far collected the following: Cash
found In the bank s167.21; cash paid by D.
B. McCary, cashier, $3739S; cash paid by L.
c. Bailey. treasurer $50; cash paid by
Moore & Hill as rent, $2o.43, making a total
of S6O1.G2
The receivers, Messrs. John Ridour, Jo-
seph II. Stewart and Thomas Walker, say
they have selected the Second National
Bank as the depository of their funds, and
have deposited with that bank for collec-
ton all the promissory notes found in the
Capital Savings Bank which seem to require
such action.
Far From Satisfactory.
They set forth in the report that 1.-The in
vestigation by the receivers has so far pro-
crossed as to enable them to say that the
condition of the affairs of the bank is most
unsatisfactory and discouraging. The notes
representing loans are in most instances of
very doubtful value. The real estate Is
heavily incumbered, and in number of
instances foreclosures are imminent
The receivers say they deem it Of prime
importance that careful investigation of
the books of the Capital Savings Bank
should be made forthwith, in order that the
depositors may as soon as possible be ac-
quainted with the exact situation and the
court be afforded the necessary informa-
ton to enable it to instruct the receivers in
the further discharge Of their duty.
Official Bank Examiner.
1t is added that the controller of the cur
rency has indicated his willingness to de-
tail one of the official bank examiners of
his office to make an examination Of the
bank. 1t is suggested that such an exam
nation would be of the most impartial,
thorough and satisfactory character. and
the expense attendant thereon would be
less than would be incident to the employ
ment of an unofficial expert accountant
After recommending that they be author
lied to request the designation of such a
bank examiner, the receivers remark that
they have received several applications
from persons interested from various
standpoints for leave to inspect the books
of the bank. They say they do not deem
it wise that such permission should be
granted, certainly not without showing
to and an order by the court

VALUE OF TESTIMONY
GREATER THAN ASSERTION.

There is none Of us so hardened but that when
we have been able to aid fellow creatures by
comforting a benefit bringing little comfort
into their lives like to have appreciation shown.
This generally affords pleasure than the per-
formance of the act itself, and in this connection
the following letter from Texas lady is of more
than usual interest:
