FALL OF A ONE-MAN BANK William Bumm's Death Precipitates a Terrible Crash. BIG OVERDRAFTS DISCOVERED The Nominal Cashier Taken Suddenly 111 and Speechless When the Directors Begin Their Negligently De- ferred Investigation. Philadelphia, May 29.

The Shacka-niaxon bank, of which John Rose is president, has suspended, the reason given being that the corporation held $100, OoO in pergonal checks of the late William Bumm, the wholesale salt dealer, and $80, 000 of paper indorsed by him. The bank capital is its supplus $30,000. It is said that accounts have been overdrawn J200.000. The city has 10, 000 on deposit. Depositors gathered around the building In a wildly excited throng when the failure became known.

The bank's depositors includea the largest carpet butchers and drovers and all the small shop-keepers for miles around. STRANGE BANKING METHODS. It seems that the late William Bumm, who was a leading politician and largely engaged in the importation of salt, opened this bank about ten years ago. Ever" since the ieath of William Bumm, less than a year ago, the affairs of the institution have been the sub ject of watchful concern on the part of the officials of the Philadelphia clearing-house and the president of the Girard bank, which institution made all the collections for the insolvent bank. Bumm founded the bank and practically owned it.

Thomas L. Huggard was nomi nally the cashier, but in reality lie was only the erica! drudge oi the place, doing all the routine business and keeping up the ordinary daily accounts, while Bumm managed bis own olimrs with an exclusive care which pre eluded the possibility of any one else gaining an insight into his peculiar doings. HOW THE CRASH OCCURRED. When Bumm's successor assumed control and the accounts of the institution could be overhauled, a very critical state of affairs was found to exist. On Monday the audit ing committee of the board of directors met at the bank for the purpose of examining the accounts.

When Cashier Huggard was called upon to explain certain matters, it is said that he was taken suddenly ill and was removed to his home. The committe continued their investigation of the accounts, their suspicions having been aroused, the other directors were summoned and a general investigation was proceeded with. Huggard, when taken home, was apparently speechless and incapable of giving any statement of his transactions. AMOUXT OF THE DEFICIT. The directors yesterday discovered that large sums had been obtained from the tasliier without their authority.

They found checks indicating that llliam Bumm tons, salt merchants, had obtained $115, 000, and that Joseph Conklm, a street- cleaning contractor having no account in the JjUik. had obtained $S8, 000. The aggre gate deficit discovered (203, 000) was more than the combined capital and surplu of the bank. No entry was made of these transactions, but checks were found winch it is supposed the cashier had paid. George Bumm, select councilman of the Lighteenth ward, who is a member of the board of directors and also a member of the linn cf William Bumm Sons, yesterday pledged the firm as liable for the money which his firm had drawn, and his attorney to-day confessed judgment in favor of the Shacka inaxon bank lor $115,000.

It is under 6tood that the stock-holders will pay off the indebtedness and it is said that the directors themselves have $100, 000 -backed up in the hank, $30,000 having been deposited but few days. OTHER BANKS AFFECTED. It is stated that the Girard National bank has not incurred any loss by the failure. The bank cannot resume. It is reported that several other banks in Kingston and Frank -lord are in a far from sound condition, owing to the depression in trade in that locality, where a large fidmber of woolen and cotton mills are situated.

Murder Follows a Debauch.

ANOTHER PENSION SURRENDERED. The commissioner of pensions has received a letter from a lady pensioner, who says that sh has fallen heir to a fortune and as she is no longer dependent, does Dot feel it right to continue to draw her pension. MR.

HAY ON REMOVALS. Assistant Postmaster-general Hay, in a letter to Hon. Charles Hunsicker, of Norrls-town, Pa. regarding the alleged misapprehension as to the disposition and purposes of the postoffice department concerning removals, after calling his attention to the necessary caution to be observed by the new administration, says There ought to be mutual consideration between the great mass of the people and their selected agents in Washington, and mutual assistance should be readily rendered. The spirit animating all should be to be considerate and have reasonable confidence, and to maintain with fidelity the pledges made before election as -to what the Democratic methods of government would be.

The sixils system, with all its aggregated and vast power, was what we fought and prevailed against. Generally, public policy and sound party considerations require that reasons should exist and bo assigned for removals from public, oilices. It is due to the people of all parties and to the Democratic party, as accusers of those who have been heretofore in power, to exhibit to the country the misdoings of the men who had long been solely entrusted with public oflices. Therefore it is asked (and the request is reasonable) by those who are now charged with the duty of administration, that the official misdoings of which we have complained should be made known when removals are made, in order that the truth and justness of the accusations can be fully shown. COMING CHANGES.

Marshal Hill, of the eastern district of North Carolina, will, it is saiu, snortly be removed and be succeed ed by Captain V. V.
