CONDITION OF BUSINESS. RUMORS AFFECTING A BANK. A FRIGHT AMONG DEPOSITORS IN new-haven. [BY TELEGRAPH TO THE TRIBUNE. I NEW-HAVÉN, Jan 23.-Considerable excitement was occasioned on the street to-day by the report that the New-Haven Savings Bank in Orange-st. was on the verge of bankruptcy. It resulted in a mild run on the bank this afternoon, and to-morrow a rush is expected. The report came from unfounded rumors of various sorts, one of which was that Assistant Treasurer Pardee had been gambling in Wall Street with the bank's funds. The bank officials strenuously dented all injurious reports, but did not attempt to explain the matter to the excited depositors, beyond telling them that they could have their money, interest and principal, as fast as it could be paid out to them. The bank is the third largest savings bank in the State and the oldest in the city. The market value of Its assets is $6,062,603 28; due on deposits, $5,637,970 28 ; profit and loss, $6,053 28; surplus, $210,000; total liabilities, $5,693,970 28. All the leading business men of the city consider the bank the most solld in this part of the State. ExGovernor Bigelow has offered to tend the bank $50,000 to meet the run. Others have offered loans. The bank's securities are good, large amounts being in United States 41gs, New-York Central 7 per cent bonds, Shore Line Railway 4½ per cents, and other equally good properties. George Wykes, jr., of W.T. Hatch & Son's branch office here, says the securities are the tinest owned by any bank in the State. It 18 sincerely hoped a panic will not take place among the depositors tomorrow, but if it does the bank is prepared to meet all demands and can pay out at the rate of $300,000 a day. Cashier Richardson says he will keep the doors open as long as any one appears for his money.

THE END OF THE RUN. The Finale Yesterday Forenoon-All Quiet on Orange Street-The Trustees' Statement-Its Powerful Effect. The run on the New Haven Savings bank came to an end yesterday forenoon. When the bank opened there were sixty depositors in line and at 11 o'clock the number had dwindled to a dozen and the run was over before noon. This result was anticipated by the best judges and prophesied last Saturday, as the run was entirely without reason, an absurd scare from the beginning. The official statement published by the bank and in the papers had great weight. It was a clincher and left nothing more to be said as to the soundness of the bank. It would be hard to find in the Union or in the old world any sounder institution. Prominent men speaking of the end of the run yesterday said, "The result will be that the bank, strong as it is, will be stronger than ever and stand higher than ever in public estimation." The statement of the trustees, it might be added, carried additional weight from the fact, not known by some, that the trustees (all well known and most highly respected gentlemen) have not a dollar of interest in the bank, are not permitted by law to borrow of the bank or otherwise become its debtors, and receive not a cent for their labor as trustees, the office being held by them without any pecuniary reward or recompense whatsoever. They have much responsibility, as, for instance, in a case like that which has just occurred, and altogether their statement justly carried much weight, being that of disinterested gentlemen serving as it were the public interests. NEW ENGLAND ROAD. "Hobson's Choice" For the Floating Debt Creditors. If the rental of the Norwich and Worcester to the New York and New England is reduced to 8 per cent., the saving to the latter will be about $50,000 a year. The prospect for the reduction is said to be good. Steps are now being taken to settle with the floating debt creditors. Some of them who have liens and are clearly entitled to preference will be offered second mortgage bonds, and the others will be offered preferred stock. It is Hobson's choice with the latter, for the road cannot be taken out of receivership, nor can foreclosure be prevented, unless the debts can be adjusted, the expenses reduced and the income increased so that there is a fair prospect of the company's meeting the fixed charges. When this occurs, both the preferred and common stock will have a basis of value. Death of Warden Sargent of the State Prison. Warden Sargent, of the Connecticut State prison, died Monday night. He was a native of New Hampshire and came to this State in 1865. He became an overseer in the State prison under Warden Willard, and Warden Botelle, who succeeded Mr. Willard, made him a clerk in the warden's office. When Warden Hewes came in Sargent went to Iowa. He was recalled to the prison, and later was made warden. He had been complaining of ill health for some time, but had been confined to the house but two weeks. He was twice married. He lost his first wife and two chil' dren some years ago. He married his last wife something over two years ago-Miss Kate Hanmer, of W ethersfield. They had one child.
