RUN ON UNION COUNTY BANK. MANY DEPOSITORS DRAW OUT THEIR MONEY-ALL DEMANDS MET. Rahway, Jan. 5 (Special).-There was a run on the Union County Bank, of this city, to-day, for which there seems to be no good reason. As soon as the bank opened for business this morning depositors began to arrive and draw out their balances. The news spread rapidly that there was a "run" on the bank. and soon the counting room was crowded with depositors anxious to withdraw their money. Edward H. Sherwood, the cashier, who also acts as teller. paid all checks as fast as presented until 11 o'clock. when all large depositors who demanded the balance of their accounts were told that they would have to await the arrival of currency from New-York. The president of the bank, Edward S. Savage, who practises law at No. 31 Nassau-st., New-York, went to the city on an early train, and by 1 o'clock a messenger arrived here with a large amount of currency, and payments were resumed. There was a steady run on the bank until 3 o'clock, when the doors were closed for the day. All depositors in the bank before 3 o'clock were told to remain, and their checks were paid. State Bank Examiners L. R. Vredenburgh, of Somerville, and Thomas F. Chambers, of Trenton, have been examining the bank's affairs for the last two days. The examination, they assert, was made in the regular course of their work. and not because of any suspicion that the bank's affairs were. at all involved. Their presence. and the report in a New-York newspaper on Sunday that proceedings had been begun against a certain insurance concern in New-York City, seem to be the only reason for the "scare" that seized the depositors. The bank examiners state that so far as they have completed their examination the institution is perfectly solvent. Many of the largest depositors and the business men generally have not withdrawn their. accounts and express themselves as satisfied that the bank is in good condition. The officers and directors of the bank are: Edward S. Savage, president: M. D. Valentine, vicepresident: W. V. McKenzie, W. Bloodgood, J. M. Silvers and J. Lester Laforge, directors. The bank was organized in 1887 with a capital of $50,000, and has a surplus of $25,000. A semi-annual dividend of 4 per cent was declared on December 21, and for several years an annual dividend of 8 per cent has been paid on its stock. It is believed to-night that the worst is past and that confidence in the bank will be fully restored before another day is over.

RAHWAY BANK SUSPENDS. Two Days' Run By Depositors Made It Necessary to Close. [Special to "The Jersey City News." RAHWAY, Jan. 6, 1900. - The Union County Bank has suspended and an excited crowd of depositors surrounded the building. A run started on the bank and lasted two days, with the result that it was found necessary to close the institution. Thomas K. Johnson, Deputy Commissioner of Banking and Insurance, posted the following notice on the bank:"The Union County Bank has been compelled to suspend, owing to the unusual demands made upon it by its depositors. So far as the official examination has progressed there does not seem to be any sufficient reason to doubt that the depositors will be paid in full as soon as the bank can realize from its investments." The Union County Bank has been paying 8 per cent. dividends on a capital of $50,000. The bank, which is a State institution, had a surplus of $25,000. After the difficulties of the Middlesex County Bank of Perth Amboy, which was robbed by its cashier, George M. Valentine, there was some evidence of timidity on the part of depositors as the President of the Union County Bank, Edward F. Savage, had been Valentine's lawyer, and the Vice President of the Union County Bank, Mulford D. Valentine, was an uncle of the defaulting cashier of the Middlesex County Bank. Because of these facts there was a suspicion in certain arters that there might be some relation between the banks. NEW YORK, Jan. 6, 1900.-President Edward S. Savage, stated that the Union County bank had absolutely no connections with the Middlesex County Bank. He attributed the run on the bank to the presence of the State banking inspectors and said that the depositors became frightened as to the safety of their money and the heavy run on the bank left no other alternate but to close the doors.

Johnson, Deputy Commissioner of Banking and Insurance, posted the following notice on the front door of the Union County Bank, in this city, this morning: The Union County Bank has been compelled to suspend, owing to the unusual demand made upon It by the depositors. So far as the official examInation has progressed there does not seem to be any sufficient reason to doubt that the depositors will be paid in full as soon as the bank can realize from its investments. The run on the bank, which began yesterday morning, continued throughout the day, and was brought about by the suspicion that the Union County Bank had some connection with the Middlesex County Bank at Perth Amboy, which was wrecked some time ago by George M. Valentine, the cashier, who is now serving a term in the State Prison. The suspicion was strengthened by the presence here of the State Bank Examiners, and precipitated the demands of the depositors.
