The Republican Houses to Try Hard to Oust the Democratic Incumbent. Special Telegram to TmtTrirm. West Chester, April 16. The Slate Senatorial question Is what is most interesting in Republican circles in this county at present. Tho Democratic Senator is Septimus Nivln, of London Britain.

He it was who defeated the Repub lican nominee, D. Smith Talbot, last fall to till unexpired term of Senator A. D. Harlan, who resigned to take upon his shoulders the toga and responsibilities of Marshal ofthe new IJuited States Appellate Court in Philadelphia. This time a Republican must be sent.

There must be nu fooling in the matter. 1'iiero must be no mistakes made and further, there must be no sentiment allowed to Kovern the deal. Pure hard-fisted business is to be observed, and to this end the word of tbo bosses, big and little, has been passed around. Of course, in the light and memories of the result of lust fall decree at the polls, which elected a Democrat, there tsjust cnuso forcarefiil consideration for provllonss that will permit or methods that produce results, and it is just these little till us that are now being looked into by Ex-Congressman Darlington and the men who train under his ban ncr. Doc Snyder, of Spring City, aud present meinberof the Legislature from the Northern district, was here this week with his all-wool smile a smile that has neTer yet given away its owner by reflecting the state of mind within.

He was in close counsel with the Darllucton people, to whom helms tor eight years' past etliciently acted as chief-ol-stafi'in the Darlington camp, and when he left fur home in tho evening the word was passed along the It no that he was to be the man to win the Senatorial plum In the coming contest. This announcement rather mystilles another declaration which has informed the public to some extont it being to the effect that Harry Buck waller, a banker and broker in this borough, is also in the hands of his friends for the same honor. Now, Mr. Huckwulier has always been a simon-pure Darlington man. Hehasnever for ouew wavered in his devotion to that cause, and in recognition of his services he was chosen to preside over the lale County Republican Con vent ion, which so heroically sat.

down on that resolution which said a good word or two for President, Harrison's administration. That occasion washisdebut into practical Chester county poll lies, and he proved himself equal to the trust reposed iu hi m. He is on he sonny side of 3- and Is the happy possessor of a bulky bank ac-count. Ho is yresidontof the Farmers' National Rank, or this place, an institution mainly controlled by Kx-Congressman Dar-linelon, and lie is conspicuous in having active membership in many of the leading social and business organizations of tho place. Ex-Congressman Darlington has pone abroad, lie sailed to-day from New York accompanied by hlsgood wife and two of his daughters.

They go to spend about threo months in Europe, but there are some who predict that. Mr. Darlington will not be able to remain absent Irom home so long during a period in which political strife promises to be full of fireworks and brass bands. He will not be in proper tunc of mind to thread the lull lowed precincts of Westminster Abbey or to tilly contemplate tho wonders of Pompeii, because his thoughts will be of home wondering how Snyder and Talbot and Ruck waller are gel ting along In shaping the somewhat, vexed Senatorial question. The Democrats of his county are perfectly satistled with the work done at the Harris-burg convention, notwithstanding many of them have a preference for Governor Patti-son ior Presidential candidate.

The Tilden Club of this place will early hang out their banners and Inaugurate a fighting campaign, In which some earnest speakers from ot her States will In; called to assist. K. Emmclt Washington. is for Pnttison through nnd through, and, us ho was opposed to Cleveland in his two former he will again be found with his opposition clothes on thisyear should Mr, C. be nominated.

Major McCauley continues to pin his fullh to the McKinley boom, nnd he wears a big Mcivtnley button in evidenee of his position on the Presidential question. The Major la in politics like Colonel Jlooton is in paint-strikingly original. 'Squire Slater Ji. Russell was re-elected a the Peace lor this borough on the Republican ticket last sprlna. Ry some means he foraot to file ids application for a commission at Harrisburg within the limit of trie proper time, and ns a result, lie Is not commissioned.

Now there are south who say hut (iovernor Pattlson will appoint a Democrat to llll the vacancy for this year, thereby leaving 'Squire Russell out in the cold, while others Halm that the Governor will appoint he 'Squire-elect, and thereby engender the displeasure of some of the hotheaded members of his party. One thing is known to boa certaintyrthat Is, 'Squire Run-sell lias several prominent Democrats enlisted In his cause, nnd this would argue that he will turu rightside up with care in a few days.

A Democratic candidate for that position can got no further than the ticket in this State. II there whs any possibility of boinir elected lierks wouldn't be In It to an-perceptible degree.

Tho West Chester Village Jlrcnrd thinks Harrison will not have a walk-over with Cleveland this year, because Uuay's leadership will be wanting. As a Democratic Convention echo, here is a lively one from the Altoona ihtzrtte "Tho county contingent of (he late lamented State Convention came homo In their owu hearse this morning. Each carried with him a grip-sack full of discontent, which will be thoroughly disseminated In the ranks of tho local Jacksonian disciples.

FROYPECTI' ftirnlshni. Information ffflvrn nnd ni1mlnna far th purehaaa or lie abarra will be received by THE WEST ENO TRUST AND SAFF DEPOSIT COMPANY 2020 Chestnut Street PHILADELPHIA, THE CAPITAL TO BE MADE GOOD Attorney General Bensel Falls to Establish the Insolvency of the Mutant Hanking Company and the Court Hofuses to Comply With Ills Request for the Appointment of a Receiver The Directors Will at Once Slake Vp S1T0.000 of Capital. In Common Picas Court, No. 2, yesterday, bcl'oro Judges Fell and Pennypaekcr, argument was beard in the bill in equity brought by the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania, tl'irondi Attorney General W. U.

Hcnsol, against the Mutual Surety Trust and Safo Deposit Company, of this city, directing that the banking company should show cause why it should not be adjudged insolvent, why the Court should not dissolvo the company and appoint a receiver. The grounds for this action, Attorney General lleuscl alleged, were that by reason of the impairment of the capital of the company, of its unsafe and unsound condition, and its irregular methods ot doing business, the-in-terests ot the public requited that the Court should decree a dissolution of the company and adistribution of its effects. The oflice of tho banking company, at No. 1317 Arch street, was closed by Superintendent of Hanking C. If.

Krumbhaar, on April 2 last, and has since remained closed. At the argument yesterday Attorney Gon-cral Hensel and Richard C. Dale represented tho Commonwealth and John G. Johnson nnd A. E.

Stockwoll appeared for tho banking company. A number of affidavits wero presented by each side. Mr. aIo read the affidavit of Accountant Ileitis as to the assets and liabilities of the corporation, which was practically tho samo as Attorney General Kernel's petition a week ago. The affidavit of Mr.

Krumbhaar stated that a number of loans had been made, for which the banking company held unrecorded mortgages. Thcso included property in Lindcnwold, N. a Queen Anno cottago in Ashland Park, this State, land in Burlington county, etc. Mr. Krumbhaar also touched upon tho Iron Hall Building Company's property, appending a certificate of (he Board of Revision of Taxes, which placed its taxable, value at and also alleging that the proportv had been purchased for $18,000, with $10,000 in mortgage.

The affidavit of David D. Dallam, the real estate broker, values the Iron Hall building properly at $83,000. THE COMPANY'S AXSWKlt. A. K.

Stockwoll then read the answer of the Mutual Banking Company. The banking company, in this, alleges that the corporation was in a safe and sound condition, and that the first examination made by Superintendent Krumbhaar, on the 1st instant, was insufficient to justify the closing of tho bank. The answer admitted that there was an apparent impairment of capital of but justified this fact by the statement that the company, when it procured its charter, had found it necessary to take up $100,000 worth of stock. The Mutual Banking Company procured a charter originally granted in March, 1807, by act of Assembly, to tho People's Saving l-'und. Insurance, Trust and Safe Deposit Company.

The People's Company was subsequently "hanged tothelnternational Trust Company, nnd finally tho charter was transferred to the Mutual Company. Tho answer strifes that when tho Mutual Company procured its charter from the International Company tho officers of the former corporation were informed that there was $100,000 worth of stock outstanding, and the Mutual Company, when it established ifa business, found it necessary to assume responsibility for these shares of old stock, and, if necessary, issue new certificates. That, in nddition to' this, 2,000 additional shares had been issued by tho Mutual Company and worth subscribed, so that the $100,000 alleged fictitious value was in reality the stock of theold company, KEYSTONE HANK LOSSES. Tho answer goes on to admit the fact that banking company claimed deposits in Keystone Bank and Suffolk Trust Corn-pa together with loans to Francis W. Kennedy and loans on unsecured mortgages, notes, etc.

The company claimed, however, that they wero unable to tell what their losses would be in their deposits to the Keystone Hank and tho Suffolk Trust Company until a dividend should be declared that when tiio loans were niado tho bank had ample security for them, and that the notes secured by unrecorded mortgages had amplo security to insure their payment, as the properties in each case were worth more than tho mortgages. The answer then touches upon the first mortgage bonds of tho Iron Hall Building Company. It is stated that tho banking company, although it is alleged to hold worth of these bonds, docs in fact only hold $8.1,000 worth, tho balance being made up of interest which has been paid. That tho Iron Hall Company is duly chartered, and that it intends to erect on the liroad street site a large eleven-story building, costing in the vicinity of That the Broad street site was purchased for $83,000, and that it has largely increased in value. That about havo already been spent in foundations for the new building, and that tho bonds are amply secured.

StTERINTKXDKXT KRUMHIIAA C'lilTKJISKD. In conclusion, the answer states that tho notion of Superintendent of Banking Krumbhaar in closing the bank was uncalled for mid ill-advised. Affidavits of 1). Henry Hayes, secretary and treasurer of the company. v.vre also read to show that the not? id loans of tho company on un-retoi, td mor gages were amply secured.

The Hthi.i. it, II. (i. Williams, secretary of the Iron Itaii Building Company, was also read to show that the. Iron Hail building would amply secure tho bonds.

Mr. Stockwoll then read his own affidavit as solicitor of the company. Ho stated that he bad a conference with Superintendent Krumbhaar after tho bauk was closed on Saturday, the 2d instant. Mr. Stookwcll stated to Mr.

Krumbhaar that the parties interested in the bank were willing to deposit $170,000 in the treasury of tho bank early on Monday morning following if Mr. Krumbhaar would aliow tho bank to bo opened for business as usual, and that Mr. Krumbhaar had intimated his willingness if tho $170,000 wero paid to him, and that meanwhile Mr. Krumbhaar would communicate with the Auditor General at Harris-burg, explain the circumstances, and, if possible, secure, permission to open the bank. Mr.

Stockwoll says that these $170,000 have been procured and arc still intact if Mr. Krumbhaar will allow them to bo deposited in tho treasury. Mr. Stockwoll says, however, that ho nailed nt tho bank on Monday morning and asked Mr. Krumbhaar if he had obtained the consent of tho Attorney (ieneral to open the bank, and that Mr.

Krumbhaar had replied that bo had not and would take no action until bo bad finally finished his examination, reported to tho Auditor General and obtained his consent. Mr. Dale theu read a cross-affidavit of Mr. Krumbhaar's. answering the statements made by Mr.

Stockwcll and tho defendants ns to tho procuring of tho $170,000. Mr. Krumbhaar said that he did not think the terms of the offer justified him in surrendering possession of tho bank; nnd that he had learned that tho funds of tho bank wero impaired to an amount equal to or considerably above $170,000. LAWYER JnilNHON'R ARfil MKNT. Mr.

Johnson made the principal argument on behalf of the Muluai Banking Company. 1I snccringly mad reference to paternal governments who persisted in saving people who' (lid not want to be saved. And ho said there wore no stockholdersordepositors who had como into court askingforthe prelection of their money. He thought such action as had been taken in tho case by tho Superintendent of Banking had bettor bo stopped. The caso was irregularly before the court, as under the terms of tho act tho company had sixty days to make good any impairment of capital.

After they had been notified so to do, and only at the expiration of sixty days could the Attorney General como into court, as he had done, tf a refusal had been made to make good theimpalredcnpltnl, Mr. Johnson then criticised the manner In which the Superintendent had assessed tbo assets of the company. Ho said that if many Institutions in this city bad been obliged to suffer as this institution bad, and had a Superintendent of Hanking in exclusive charge of its affairs for fourteen days, it would bo found that their assets, upon close examination, would not make as good a showing as this one bail, ilr. Johnson contended that tho offer of an interpretation of it for tis benefit not only of tho Superintendent of Banking, but of tho institutions affected. He said tho ofler of $170,000 was made with the condition that tho Superintendent would agree to cease his interference with the institution, and that no explanation was given as to where tbo money was to conic from, and as to whether the liability of the bank would be further increased.

He said bo thought that if corporate action was taken to assess the stockholders, or if other stock was issued sufficient to raise the $170,000, and that was paid iuto the institution, the Commonwealth would be satisfied, if the Court thought that the other assets of the bank were of sufficient value to meet tho $597,000, the amount duo depositors. The institution had no surplus, and held what he thought was of doubtful securities. Tho Superintendent bad taken action with the belief that the institution was unsound and the act gave him the power, if he so believed, to report tho matter to the Attorney General, who could, without giving sixty days' notice, bring the institution into court. In support of this point Mr. Hensel argued that it was unfair to place the whole responsibility on the Superintendent aud compel him to wait sixty days, when bo believed the institution was unsound, without taking the advice of Court.

The methods of tho company, tho Attorney General thought, were peculiar. They hail loaned $10,000 to a defaulter, $5,000 to a fugitive from justice, and tons of thousandsof dollars on unsecured and unrecorded mortgages. Iu conclusion, the Attorney General urged tho Court to appoint a receiver and dissolvo the institution if the Court thought the tender of $170,000 was not sufficient. Judge Fell then, looking towards Mr. Johusou, said What is your proposition?" THE DECREE AGREED UPON.

Mr. Johnson said it was the intention to provide $170,000 ou stock to make good any and all impairments of tho capital, as claimed by the Commonwealth. Judge Fell then said that the Court was of the opinion that no receiver should bo appointed or a decree of dissolution made, and be told the parties to get together and mutually draft a decree providing for tho payment into tho company of $170,000, in accordance with the teuder that had been made. Both Mr. Johnson and Mr.

Hensel arranged that they would prepare the decree, and Mr. Johnson added that be would adopt and agree to auy decree that the Attorney General might suggest, and after consultation the following decree was drawn up Upon hearing it appears to the Court that the capital stock of this oorporafion defendant has been impaired. It having been stated to tho Court by the corporation, through Its counsel, that Its stockholders are prepared to pay into its treasury, to make gooil the impairment of capital stock, tho sum of one hundred and seventy thousand dollars as a contribution, which contribution shall be received In such way that the total Issue of shares of tho capital stock of Hie corporation ttiereafler shall not exceed nn issue of four thousand shares of the par value of'lifly dollars each. It Is ordered that the Superintendent of Banking maintain, bis possession of the place of business and assets of tho corpora tion until tins sum ot S17U.MKI "as boon paid iuto til treasury of the corporation. It Is further ordered that upon such payment the of Bankin? shall surrender to 1 he corporation its business, assets and affairs nowuoiler his control.
