DENVER'S CRAZY PANIC. Banks Worth Three Times What They Owe Forced to Close. Denver, July 19.-The panic was on in this city to-day with renewed vigor and as a result the old German National, with a reputation for stability of 20 years standing, and the equally reputable State National failed to open their doors for business this morning. Later the People's National failed. All night long depositors stood in the line in front of the German, and by 9 o'clock there was one long sea of faces stretching down the street. On the opposite corner, where the State Bank has so long done business, there was also quite a crowd of anxious depositors waiting for the opening of the doors. Here the people were relieved of their agony at a few minutes after 9 o'clock. when notice was posted to the offect that the bank would not open, owing to a lack of ready cash, and the crowd moved away. THE GEPMAN FAILS TO OPEN. At the German there was evidently a determination to go ahead with business up to almost the last moment, when a slip of paper was pasted on a window stating that the doors would remain closed temporarily. Then the scene became distressing. Men and women down the long line broke out in tears and wailing. By this time there was a run on every bank in the city, and soon came the announcement that the People's National bank had closed its doors. A notice on its doors read: "This bank is closed by order of the board of directors. The assets are $1,100,000, and the liabilities $310,000. THE OTHER BANKS CLSO SOLID. The assets and liabilities of the other two failed banks bear about the same proportion as the People's bank. Their failure is chargeable to a long continued drain by depositors and inability to raise ready cash. All expect to resume shortly. Frank Adams, bank examiner, to-day took charge of the Union National, Commercial National, National Bank of Commerco, State National and German National. This afternoon the run at the Denver National, was over, with an enormous amount of money still in sight. The same is true at the City and all the other banks and business men are beginning to breathe freer. There has been a considerable number of failures among business houses of all kinds within the last few days, caused by attachments taken out by banks who foresaw their suspension. Five national banks are still open. OTHER FAILURES. Among the failures that almost escaped notice was that of the Bank of North Denver yesterday afternoon. The business firms whose embarrassments became known range from liquor saloons to street railroads. There are in the list drug stores, lumber companies, gentlemen's furnishers, milliners, coal companies, dry goods houses, jewelers, ready-made clothing dealers, tailors and grocers. Two bank failues are reported at Aspen and one at Loveland. Commercial failures are also reported from many points in the state outside of Denver, due principally to the fact that the sufferers deposited in the Denver banks which have suspended. TWO CLOSE AT GREELEY. Greeley, Col., July 19.-The Union Bank closed its doors at p. m. to-day and a half hour later the Greeley National pulled down its blinds and turned the key in its door. The Union's statement says that owing to the suspension of certain Denver national banks which had on deposit several thousand dollars of its money, and the steady withdrawal of deposits, amounting to about $80,000 in the past ninety days, they were compelled to suspend business. They say their liabilities are about $100,000, with assets and paid up capital at $300,000. As soon as the fact of the suspension of these banks became known a steady run was made on the First National, but it continued to honor all checks and drafts, and even after the regular closing hour cashed two checks presented.

The German, State and People's Nationals could pay $3 for $1 if There they could realize on securities. may be a few commercial fallures in the city within the next few days, as a result of the of banks, but it is believed that in no instance, a or a commercial failure be and banking suspension complete, that house, resumption whether will the of business will surely follow shortly.

No statements of assets or liabilities have been issued. DENVER, Col., July 18.-The Union Nati nal bank, of which R. W. Wood bury is president, failed to open its doors this morning. Its capital is $1 000,000. No statement can be had. A run is now being made on the City National, German National, First National, Colorado National and all the eleven clearing house banks. A panic IS on. A DESCRIPTION OF THE PANIC. DENVER, Col., July 18 -No such scene was ever witnessed in all the West as could be seen here this morning shortly after 10 o'clock, when the banks were supposed to open their doors for business. The failure of three savings banks yeste rday had affecte the masses as the smell of blood would wolves and at the hour of opening the streets were crowded with anxious depositors. The eleven clearing house banks, located within four blocks of each other, were surrounded, and far into the streets the crowds gathered, until officers and special police were called out to clear the way for traffic. At 10 o'clock the Union National, with a capital of $1,000,000, posted a notice that they would not open their doors. This started the panic and the Commercial National posted a simil ar then the National Bank of Commerce, and people asked: Where will this stop?" A run was immediately started on all other banks. though to no great extent on the People's National. The First National appears to be the soundest of them all, they having over 60 per cent. of their deposits on hand, with a private fund of $1,500,000 in addition to draw upon, making it impossible to close their doors. The Colorado National and several others are in equally as good condition. The mob withdrawing their money are all small depositors, the large holders being satisfied to let their accounts remain in the banks. The banks are paying all demands, except on time certificates, they demanding that these remain until the expiration of the time. Asevery bank is crowded, the clearing house is rendering no assistance, each institution being compelled to stand upon its own foundation. The Commercial National Bank closed its doors within a few minutes after the opening, because it was apparent from the size of the crowd in front of the bank that a run was to be inaugurated. This notice was posted on the door when closed "Closed for liquidation by order of the directors. The bank was in bad shape. It had a capital stock of $250,000 and only had $2,000 in cash in the bank. The Mercantile Bank, a private institution with a capital of $100,000, closed its doors at noon. The failure was caused by the failure of the Union National Bank, through which it cleared. C. C. Girda, city auditor, is president. W. F. Robinson, formerly treasurer of the Repub ic Publishing Company, one of the oldest and most respected individuals in the State, has been made assignee. GREELEY, Col., July 20.-The Union and Greeley National banks have closed. The liabilities of each are about $100,000. The People's Coal Company has also assigned. It is capitalized at $1,000,000. ELWOOD, Ind., July 18.-Adeplorable condition of affairs exists among the poorer classes of this city. Over two thou and/workmen are out of employment and many are in suffering circumstances with starvation staring them in the face. The stagnation in business circles prevents them from obtaining any work and without prospects of any immediate relief in this direction they are in a pitiable condition, with rent to pay and food to procure. They are helpless, and in order to furnish relief Mayor Dehorty has called a meeting of citizens for this evening to devise some means for their support. FRANKFORT, Ky., July 20.-A sensation was caused in business circles here to day by the assignment of Col. E. A. Taylor, Jr., a famous distiller, to the Lexington Trust Company. Liabilities are not given out. but it is said they are far exceeded by the assets. The tightness of the money market which made it difficult to realize on goods consumed caused the assignment.
