SANE AGAIN. Depositors Returning Their Cash to the Banks. A Mass Meeting of Depositors Only Ask Resumption and Will Take Twelve Months Time Certificates-Many New Accounts Opened. The panic at Kansas City has ceased, and ceased as suddenly as it came, and many people are now lamenting their causeless fright. Many new accounts were opened by the depositors of the suspended banks, and the regular depositors put in more money than they have deposited since the local bank disturbances began. Add to these encouraging facts, the very significant one that nearly $1,000,000 has been received from the eastern correspondents of the local banks, representing a part of eastern balances, and the situation is seen to be very encouraging indeed. One particular assurance of returning confidence is that among the depositors were seen some who had been alarmed on Saturday and withdrawn their money. As an instance of the restored confidence in this city, the depositors of the Kansas City Safe deposit and Savings bank held a meeting at Turner hall and voted confidence in the officers of the bank. The hall was packed with men and women, many of whom were forced to stand up in the aisles. None but depositors were admitted to the meeting. and each was required to show his bank book or certificate of deposit at the doors. It was claimed that there was nearly a full representation of the entire deposits of the bank, representing $1,700,000. The depositors almost unanimously tendered their help to the officers of the bank, asking them to reopen. The chairman appointed a committee of five as representatives of the depositors to confer with the officers and assignees of the Kansas City Safe Deposit and Savings bank and ascertain the practicability of issuing to the depositors time certificates of deposits for a term not exceeding twelve months and to revive the bank. The action of the meeting wrought a marked change in the feelings of the depositors present, and they all felt confident afterward that they would get their money in time. The general impression was that the people had been too hasty in forcing the bank to suspend, and that by using a little judgment and supporting the bank officers in an effort to resume, there would be a better chance of realizing fully upon the bank's assets.

DECIDES FOR THE CREDITORS. Decision of United States Circuit Judge Williams Involves $75,000 Worth of Property. Word was received in Kansas City, Kas., yesterday announcing the decision of United States Circuit Judge Williams in the case of Assignee Howard M. Holden of the defunct Kansas City Safe Deposit and Savings bank against Receiver Samuel Maher. of the Brighton Hill property on the Kansas side. Judge Williams crowned the Kansas City, Kas., creditors of the defunct bank with victory, refusing the order prayed for by Assignee Holden and issuing an order directing Mr. Holden to turn over the tax certificates held by him on the Brighton Hill property to Maher. When the bank failed, the Kansas City, Kas., creditors attached about $75,000 worth of property located in Brighton Hill belonging to the defunct institution. Assignee Holden, in order to keep the Kansas creditors from confiscating the property to satisfy their claims. purchased tax titles to the property, the taxes on the land having not been paid for a year or more. This was done in order that he might become the legal owner of the same as assignee of the bank. The creditors enjoined the county clerk from issuing tax deeds to the property in favor of Mr. Holden when the latter presented his tax titles to the property. An injunction was granted by Judge Alden. of the district court, and then Assignee Holden filed suit before Judge Williams, asking that Attorney Samuel Maher, who was appointed receiver for the Brighton Hill property. be compelled to turn over to him a receiver's certificate to the land. Instead of doing this Judge Williams ordered Mr. Holden to turn over to the receiver the tax titles to the property. The case was argued before Judge Williams at Manitou, Col.. where the judge is spending a short vacation.
