First ‘llilinilil Stockholders Vote
' ‘ delimit till it: Affairs.
Probable That Shareholders Wlii' Re-
ceive Considerable More Than.
‘The Par value oi Their
. h. Stock.
At the meeting of the stockholders
of the First National bank. which was
held yesterday afternoon ln.ths bank
building in‘Washlngton street, it was
voted to wind up the affairs of the in-
stitution and pay back to the share-
holders their interest in the capital
and surplus. after the payment of the
liabilities. The. stockholders holding
790 shares voted unanimously in favor
of the proposition. it is expected that
the shareholders will receive consider-
able more than the par value of their
stock.
The bank was organized in 1864.
with a capital stock of 3200.000. The
stock was afterwards reduced to $1.00.-
000. The affairs of the bank are in a
most prosperous condition with a larg-
or per cent. surplus of profits than it
over had.having added to its undivided
profits $20,000 during the past five
years. It is regretted by many friends
or the old instituion that tho. situation
makes retirement from business use
ossary. but the interests of an estatc
owning the majority of the stock, re
quires it. i
The first president of tho organizxr
tion was Augustus E. Beard. who acted
only during its organization. and re-
signed the following July. lie was
succeeded by L. H. Moore. who held
the oiilcc until April, 1865. when Dud-
ley P. Ely was elected president. He
held the office with the exception of
one year from April. 1805. until the.
time of his death in July. 1895. and
was succeeded by Russell Frost, who
held the ofllco continuously from that
time to the present.

spoke at speed in writing and of how
