FAILED A SECOND TIME. The Kearney National Bank Unable to Pay Its Debts. KEARNEY, NEBR., Sept. 13.-The Kearney National Bank is in trouble again, and failed to open its doors this morning. The bank failed once before, some time in December last, and was allowed to resume business by the Comptroller by issuing time certificates to the depositors payable in six, eight and twelve months. The trouble is not thought to be from depositors this time, but rather frem outside creditors, as their last statement shows something like $60,000 rediscount, and owing to slow collections they were not able to pay interest. A man by the name of Emmett from Chicago is here negotiating with the directors and stockholders with a view of purchasing a controlling interest, and is now looking over the papers of the bank. If a deal is made the bank will reopen; if not, it will be closed and a receiver asked for.
