Nashua Company, the first defalcation in the city occurred at Indian Head National Bank in 1895, when Cashier Frank MeKean fled to Buenos Ayres leaving a shortage well up in the vicinity of $100.000. McKean's wrongdoing ,however, had no effect on the Indian Head Bank, as it is one of the strongest financial institutions in New Hampshire. During the troublesome times of 1893 and 1894, the Mechanics' Savings Bank and the Nashua Savings Bank of this city failed owing depositors large amounts. In 1897. the Security Trust Co. of this city, and Grand Forks, N. D., was placed in the hands of assignees and was wound up. About the same time the Globe Savings Bank of Chicago, of which Charles Spaulding .formerly of Nashua, was president, failed. Of the $200,000 capital, Nashua people held $100,000 and their losses through this crash were considerable. The affairs of the New Hampshire Banking Co., of Nashua were SO affected that it went into the hands of an assignee. Nashua investors were heavily interested in the Sioux City National Bank and the Union Stock Yards Bank of Sioux City, Iowa, and during the panic of 1893. heavy assessments were levied on the stockholders. Nashua people lost similarly through the failure of the Omaha Exchange Bank of Omaha. Neb., and through the closing of various other Western concerns. In all it is estimated that within 10 years citizens of Nashua have lost fully $2,000,000 through the embarrassment of banking institutions.

NEW HAMPSHIRE NASHUA, N. H., Nov. 6.-From private sources it was learned that the amount of surplus of the New Hampshire Banking company ready for distribution among the general depositors, according to the accounting which Receiver William H. Farley has filed with Clerk Thomas D. Luce of the superior court, and on the acceptance of which there will be a hearing November 21, is approximately $45, 00. This will give the depositors 5 per cent at least, making a total of 105 per cent which they will have received upon the face of their pass books at the time the institution closed its business fifteen years ago. MANCHESTER-Thomas Neary, who was detained at Ellis Island, N. Y., for nearly five weeks after his return from his old home in Ireland because he is a British subject, despite the fact he had been a resident of Manchester for more than twenty-five years, has been released and returned here. Relatives in Brooklyn, N. Y., furnished bonds of $1000 for his release. FRANKLIN-At the New Hampshire State Sunday School society's session B. P. Judd, field secretary of the international reform bureau at Washington, D. C.; the Rev. J. H. Robbins, the Rev. Virgil V. Johnson, Marion Lawrence of Chicago, Miss Gertrude H. Sawyer and Mrs. Florence C. Ware of Worcester, Mass., spoke. NASHUA-The jury in the case of Mrs. Cora Eldredge vs. Ayarle Ricard, which was begun in the superior court, brought in a verdict of not guilty after being out about two hours. The plaintiff is the widow of Sylvanus Eldredge and sued Ricard for $8000, alleging that her husband came to his death as the result of being run over and killed on the railroad between Greenville and Mason October 17, 1903, while under the influence of liquor sold to him by Ricard.
