OFFICIALS OF A RUINED BANK ACCUSED. Detroit, April 23.-A bill of complaint to compel an accounting has been filed in the United States court here by stockholders in the defunct Third National Bank against the officers and directors of that institution. It is charged that the defendants "so negligently and carelessly conducted the affairs of the bank that its entire capital was lost, the stock rendered wortbless, and the stockholders made liable for and compelled to pay a large sum of money on account of the unpaid debts of the bank." The bill alleges that the officers knowingly violated and willingly permitted others connected with the bank to violate the provisions of law relative to the bank. The bill asks for a full accounting by the defendants, a determination of the responsibility for the wrecking of the bank, and the appointment of a receiver by the court.
