THE BANKS. ALL quier. A reporter visited all the suspended banks, National as well as savings, yesterday, but was hardly compensated In Information for the wear and tear of his constitution and shoo-leather. At the Third National, Mr. Watson was seen. He knew of nothing. No Receiver had yet been appointed. It seems, however, that telegrama have been received from Washington, stating that Huntington A. Jackson will be the successful one. Ills papers have not been made out, but they are expected here by Thursday. Regarding the Receiver of the Central, rumor bath It that Mr. Burley is the man. But he has no advices to that effect, nor could the roport be verified. As is known, he is now in charge of the bank. He has enough cash on hand to pay a dividend of 20 per cent at once. The creditors of both the Central and Third will, in time, certainly get 100 cents on the dollar. Absolutely nothing was obtainable at the savIngs banks,-that is, as to collections, dividends, etc. A female depositor dropped into the State about 1 o'clock and asked for "tho clerks." This a pretty bank." said the woman. " It is a smashed bank," rejoined the reporter. " Yes, remarked she, and I would like to get hold of some of them, wouldn't 1 smash 'em." "Them" was indefinite, 80 the reporter, not wishing to be mistaken for a bank employe, pointed out Judge Otis and Mr. Chamberlain, and withdrew. Both the gentlemen named were whole last night. There is a noticeable falling-off in the crowd at the Fidelity, though the drawing of the 10 per cent was pretty steady all day. Only a third of the depositors have thus far received what is due to them. Many, perhaps, do not yet know that the institution is in liquidation. Dr. Ward, of the Beehive, Was notified in the afternoon that the Committee appointed by the depositors will come to see him again this morning. These centlemen say they are after the fellows who hold their beads high, though they are deeply in debt, and they purpose exposing them to the community. One of the Committee, whom a reporter saw yesterday, said he didn't think any harm would be done by publishing the names of the bank's debtorsthat the money was due, and would have to be paid. W. S. Hinckley, Receiver of the Chicago SavIngra Institution & Trust Company, filed a petition yesterday setting out that among the assets of the bank are some office furniture, collectable debts, and Incumbered real estate. The debts ought to be collected and the other property sold, in his opinion, and Judge Moore gave him leave to do as he wished in the matter. John C. Winterbotham, one of the stockholders of the Fidelity Savings Bank, who has been sued by the Receiver of the bank to recover ou his statutory liability, filed his separate answer yesterday. No deals in glittering generalities, denying vaguely that he la under any moral or legal obligation to pay any of the debts of the corporation, and claiming that he was not one of the original stockholders, but purchased bis stock at the Instance of some parties connected with the management of the bank
