CONTROLLERS STATEMENT
Indebtedness Of Farmers and Drovers'
Bank of Pennsylvania Still Unknown.


The amount of indebtedness of the
Farmers and Drovers' National Bank of
Waynesburg, Pa, on account of redfs-
counted notes and other frauds perpe-
trated by Cashier Rhinehart is still I'M
known Notes have been daily presented
to the receiver since his appointment
bearing the Endorsement of the Farmers
and Drovers' National Bank which were
redfsceunted in good faith by different
banks throughout the country, and it is
claimed the bank is liable upon its in
dorsement. A resolution purporting to
have been regularly passed by the d.
rectors giving the president, vice presi-
dent and cashier each authority to Dor
row or rediscount has been upon the rec
ords for more than year. The amount
of these rediscounts now known to exist
is $1,121463-21. 1t is probable that more
such claims will be presented. held by
banks which may not care to present their
claims sooner than necessary.
1T Is impossible to discover the ex-
fstence Of these claims except by volun-
tary statements Of Rhinehart and dis
notes. AS Rhinehart Is utterly unreliable.
for complete statement the receiver can
only await the pleasure Of the banks hold
ing the claims.
Many of these notes are either forged
or were paid by the makers and care
lessly left with Rhinehart. A large num-
Der Of the notes which are genuine are
made by parties financially trresponsi-
BILE. The bank also holds much Of the
paper Of the same parties who are liable
as makers of the rediscounted notes.
1.-The liabilities Of the bank. including
the liability upon rediscounts. will ex-
coed 81, 900, 900. The developments DEM
onstrate that the controller was not mis-
taken in declaring the bank insolvent on
December IL and placing 1t in the hands
of a receiver. The appointment was made
as soon as it became apparent from in
formation received by the national bank
examiner. from sources external to the
hank that rediscounts existed to such an
amount as to render the bank probably in
solvent

the birth of Washington was observed here
today. The majority of the downtown
business houses were closed during the
greater part of the day and the Board Of
Trade and the banks did not open. The
principal celebration OF the day was in the
hands of the Union League club, which
has for many years made feature OF pa
triotic exercises on February %. In the
morning exercises were held in the Audi
torium under the auspices of the club, at

orator of the day. This evening a banquet
will be held at the Union League club
house, at which Mr.. Cleveland, President
Finley and Richard Watson Glider will be
the chief speakers.
At the Auditorium Mr.. Cleveland ad-
dressed an audience which filled the great
building and his Grafton was greeted
with every manifestation OF approval He
dwelt less upon the history and achieve
ments OF Washington than upon the sound
ness or MS pontlcal ldltn anu INC aSSui1Sy
of his economic wisdom.
Mr.. Cleveland said, in part:
Three months before his inauguration al
first president of the republic which he had
done so much to create, washington
wrote a letter TO Lafayette, his warn
friend and revolutionary ally, in which he
expressed his unremittinR desire to estao,
lish a general system of policy which, II
pursued would "ensure permanent felicity
to the commonwealth; and added thes'
words:
