CITY FUNDS IN LOOTED BANK.
Bank Sustained Greater Loss Than
Defalcatjon CHARGED to Cashier.

Bank Sustained Greater Loss Than
DefaIcation Charged to Cashier.
Pittsburg, May 20.-The closing Of
the Allegheny National bank yester-
day morning by the controller of the
currency was the direct cause of the
failure last evening of Carothers &
Co., one Of the largest brokerage
concerns in the city, according to the
statement of the receiver for the lat
ter firm.
With more than $1,5OO,OOO of it's
funds tied up indefinitely as a result
OF the suspension of the bank, the city
OF Pittsburg finds itself confronted
with the possibility of being forced to
meet current expenses.
Banks Loss Is Heavy.
That the bank in some manner sus-
tanned much greater loss than the
embezzlement of $469,o00 cash and
$125,000 worth of securities charged
to Former Cashier Montgomery, is ap.
parent from all of it's recent state
ments, which show that it could sus-
tain a loss approximating $4,000, 900
without impairment of its capital.
City Treasurer j. F. Steel last week.
when he made inquiries as to the
city's deposits of $1,546,953, was told.
he claims, by Bank Examiner William
L. Folds and by officers of the bank
that the alleged shortage was about
100000 and that the bank could pay
that out of its surplus and undivided
profits and continue business without
interruption.
City Funds Left in Bank.
Explaining why the city's funds
were not withdrawn as soon as the
shortage was discovered, Treasurer
Steel said he was told that if an at
tempt was made to do SO it would
force the closing of the bank, and in
that event the city could not be paid.
Ee says he also wass assured that the
bank would weather the storm and
meet all of its obligations. Whether
the city will lose through the failure
is not known.
State Funds There, Too.
The state has on deposit in the
bank $523,477, and State Treasurer
John o. Sheath and Deputy Attorney
General Jesse E. B. Cunningham
came here yesterday to look after
the states interests. Both assert
that there is not the slightest danger
Of the state losing anything.
There was no excitement over tho
closing Of the bank.
