Alexandria were surprised Thurs
day when it was learned that the
Virginia Safe Deposit and Trust Cor
poration had not opened. A pen
ciled placard hung from one of
the doOrknObs:
"Closed-in charge OF receivers.
All notes due can be paid to any

large Withdrawals of deposits, Of
which they had been notified in adj
vance, without what appeared to be
unwarranted sacrifices of secu-
rites of the bank. and i'm order to
serve what appeared to be the best

itors and to keep them on an equal
footing, applied for the appointment
OF receivers. The court appointed
Judge JIM Norton and John $. Bar
bour as receivers.

OF valuable property, real aud per-
sonal, worth about 100000. as spe-
cial security for depositors and cred
itors, and Il is the expectation Of
the directors and receivers that
the assets will prove more than suf-
ficient to pay all deposltors and
creditors
This step was made necessary by
the continued illness OF c. J. Rix-
ey and his inability to give the
bank his personal attention.
