BUFF. ALO BANK CLOSES DOORS BUFFALO, N. Y., Dec. 5.-The German Bank of Buffalo was closed to-day by State Superintendent of Banking Kilburn because of a "run," which began with the opening of the doors and continued to grow in volume as the day advanced. A big crowd of excited depositors gathered in front of the German Bank, seeking information. Officers were placed at the door and no one was allowed to enter. All this excitement had the inevitable result of sending nervous depositors hurying to the German-American Bank, a kindred institution. Soon after the announcement was made that the German Bank had closed, the Buffalo Clearing-house Association issued a statement that it would stand by the German-American Bank and meet all demands made upon it. It was also announced that President Emery and two of the directers of the German-American Bank had resigned and that their piaces had been taken by three wealthy Buffalo men. These two announcements had a reassuring effect and several large deposits, which had been withdrawn, were replaced in the bank. Small depositors, however, continued to draw out their money and at 3 o'clock nearly 100 persons were in line before the cashier's window. All of them were paid before the bank closed for the day. Superintendent Kilburn is of the opinion that the German Bank will not resume business. In regard to the bank's assets. he said: "A great deal of the money is out on what might be designated as slow loans. The deposits amount to between $5,000,000 and $6,000,000. About $3,000,000 of that sum represents business that should have been done with a savings bank, rather than a discount bank, it being the accounts of small depositors."

Appleyard of this city, against whom charges have been made in connection with the failure of the German Bank at Buffalo, N. Y., has not been in his office here for more than three days.

The charges against Mr. Appleyard, who is best known as a promoter of electric railways in various parts of the country, have been made by a representative of the attorney general's office of New York, by means of filing an affidavit charging conspiracy to defraud the bank and asking that, if the crime be proved, warrants be issued for Appleyard and others.

Georger, both civil and criminal, arising out of the wrecking of the German Bank of Buffalo, were practically settled yesterday for $80,000.

He reserved decision on a motion to dismiss the indictments against Georger charging larceny and perjury, but intimated that he would grant the motion as soon as the $80,000 is turned over to the receiver of the German Bank. Georger was president of the German Bank. He sold a controlling interest in It to A. E. Appleyard, of Boston, shortly before it went into the hands of a receiver.

Mr. Jackson came here yesterday, and after a conference with his deputy announced that he coincided in the opinion of the receiver that the proposed settlement was the best thing for all concerned. The $80,000 will give the depositors about 2 per cent, making a total of about 85 per cent paid to them by the receiver.
