THE TYLER BANK. Efforts Making to Reorganise Withd out Appointing a Receiver. Tyler, Texas, December 2.-There has been quite a commotion in business circles here since the 30th of November, which was precipitated by the closing of the doors of the First National bank of Tyler for business on that date. This bank had a capital stock of $200,000. and did the principal business of the city of Tyler and surrounding country. Its deposits were t somewhere in the neighborhood of $250,000. Its officers, directors and stockholders included some of the wealthiest and best business men in this section of the State. The failure of the bank was caused prlmarily by the failure of the City National bank here on the 10th of October, which served to frighten depositors and caused them. in one week, to withdraw from the First National bank over $30,000 in deposits, which withdrawals were kept up In a quiet way until the bank suspended. There is now and will be a very strong effort made to reorganize the bank and re. sume business without the appointment of a receiver. The stockholders and directors are strongly in favor of this plan. and a great many of the dépositors are willing to co-operate with them. To this end the following petition is now being circulated among the business men of Tyler, and a meeting has been called for Saturday, the 5th. when plans will be discussed for the re-establishment of the bank. As this bank has been for years what may be called the spinal cord of the commercial community, the people here feel that it will be almost impossible to get along without its resumption. There have. up to the present time, been no failures here as a result of the bank's suspension. and none are anticipated: To Hon. James H. Eckels Comptroller of the Currency. Washington. D. C. Tyler. Texas, December 2, 1896.-Your petitioners. all merchants and business men of Tyler, Texas, respectfully and earnestly request that you entertain fav. orably and facilitate in every way within your power and influence the reorganiza. tion and re-establishment of the First National bank of Tyler. The permanent closIng of this institution and winding up its affairs by a receiver will result in widespread ruin and misery in this city and surrounding country. In fact. the effect of its suspension is already appalling, follow. Ing as it does so closely upon the failure of the City National bank of this place. We have a city of 10,000 people: It is the middle of the season of our greates commercial activity (the cotton season.) The First National bank did most of the busi. ness of this city and vicinity. There is only one small bank left and it is altogether unequal to the business of the place. Besides. the permanent closing of the First National will take from the channels of trade such a volume of live paper and funds as will completely paralyze business in our midst and drive hund eds into hopeless insolvency and to are 11 trant. Your petitioners therefore pray you to defer appointing a receiver until a plan can be perfected by stockholders and lepositors by which the bank may be permitted to reopen. and that you will favor. ably consider such plan. Pledging our support to the bank in its efforts to resume, and after resumption, we are, very respectfully.

Lost in Both Banks. Tyler, Texas, December 1.-A suit was filed in the district court here yesterday against the bondsmen of County Treasurer Tarbutton. There are numbered among his bondsmen a large number of the most substantial citizens and property owners of Smith county. The City National bank of this place has been, since Mr. Tarbutton became treasurer, the depository for the county funds, and when the bank failed on October 10 of this year there were deposited there about $20,000. The bank has been placed in the hands of a receiver, and no one is able to tell what per cent of the deposits the concern will be able to pay when finally wound up. When the above bank falled Treasurer Tarbutton deposited his funds with the First National bank of Tyler and did the county's business through that bank, and when it closed Its doors on the 30th be had on deposit about $12,000 there. The treasurer has, therefore, been most unfortunate in selecting depositories for his funds. In view of these conditions the commissioners court a few days ago instructed that suit be brought against the bondsmen, which was accordingly done. The bondsmen called upon the court today and asked that the suit be withdrawn, and submitted a proposition for the consideration of the court, asking for an extension of five years' time in which to pay the shortage. paying so much each year. Among the bondsmen are W. G. Cain and L. L. Jester, president and cashier of the Tyler National bank respectively; also H. B. Marsh C. L. Caspary, John Durst, M. O, Long and others. The commissioners court took the plan of extension under advisement and has not yet decided what it will do respecting it. The filing of this suit has produced a considerable commotion here in business and financial circles.

TYLER BANKERS UNDER ARRESTS Several Officials of National Banks Indicted. Tyler, Tex., Feb. 18.-Quite a sensation was created here today by the arrest of the fol lowing parties, who were con nected with the management of the City National and First National banks of Tyler, which failed and were placed in the hands of receivers a few months ago by United States Marshal Geo. Eason, on indictments by the Federal grand jury now sit ting at Galveston: W. L. Cain, cashier City National Banks, three indictments; T. B. Butler, president City National Bank, three indictments; J. D. Moody. cashier First National Bank, one indictment; J. H. Legrand, assistant cashier, First Na. tional Bank, three indictment; H. H. Rowland, ex-president First National Bank three indictments. The parties called at the United States commissioner's office for the purpose of giving bond, accompanied by a large number of Tyler citizens, who were ready to make their bonds, but the commissioner said he would not accept their bonds until to morrow morning and they were released on their own recognizance. The bonds will be from $500 to $7500. On ac. count of the prominence of the parties indicted it created considerable comment, though it was not at all a surprise to many, as it was known that the grand jury at Galveston was investigating the matter and had several days ago summoned Receivers A. G. McIlwaine and Gus F. Taylor of the City National and First National banks, respectively, to appear before that body in connection with the matter. A L. Clark. who was indicted, was not of ficially connected with the management of the First National Bank but was arrested on an indictment charging him with being an accessory to the assistant cashier in making false entries on the bank books Mr. Clark is president of the Ty ler Car and Lumber Compa ny, now in the hands of a Te ceiver.
