THE DIME SAVINGS BANK. Judge Revell Declines To Accept Bond of Prancis P. Stevens, The Recently Appointed Receiver. On Saturday Judge Revell passed an order on the petition of James W. Owens, attorney for the Dime Savings Bonk, on Francis P. Stevens, of Baltimore, to show cause why the petition for injunction and receiver should not be annulled. Mr. Stevens appeared on the scene Sunday and wrote Mr. Owens to know if he had authorized the publications in the Baltimore papers. Mr. Oweas replied that the publications were taken from his answer filed in the case, for which he was responsible. Mr. Stevens posted notices (on Sunday) on the door of the Dime Savings Bank stating it was in his hands as receiver, The Court today declined to approve Mr. Stevens' bond for several reasons, prominently among which was that Kuchler & Teichman telegraphed Judge Revell that they had not authorized any suit on their behalf. The bank is paying all depositors as fast as demands are made.
