	When the news became known, Babbage was guarded at home by an assortment of officials and friends. The directors of the bank made good the losses to the customers for every cent. A savings bank associated with Merchants National, however, was taken over by receivers, and depositors were paid sixty cents on the dollar. Among those concerned were local people with blooded stock horses on his Maudville farm. Shorthorn cattle and Arabian horses believed to be owned by Babbage were sold to satisfy the bank's stockholders.
