THE SECURITY SAVINGS BANK. This Institution and Walla Walla Savinge Bank Will Go Into Liquidation. The officers of the Security Savings bank, of which J. K. Edmiston is president, have decided to liquidate its affairs and terminato its business. Mr. Edmiston is at present in Walla Walla, looking after the interests of the Walla Walla Saving bank, of which institution he is also president, and which will likewise go out of business. Pending his return, the Security bank will temporarily suspend payment and will not open its doors for business. The cashier of the bank states that the deposits are small, not aggregating over $30,000, and that all depositors will be paid in full. The Seattle clearing house offered to furnish the money and liquidate the bank at once, but their offer was declined, the officers preferring to close out the business themselves. The partial failure of the wheat crop in Eastern Washington and the connection of the Security bank with the Walla Walla bank are the reasons given by the officer for winding up the affairs of both institutions.

# Railroad and Corporation Notes. Supt. Kline, of the Lake Shore road, went up the line on the Sumas branch yesterday to inspect weak spots on the line. Forty-three of the fifty-one shingle mills along the line of the Lake Shore road are running, but not up to their full capacity. The daily output is about twenty carloads. The Chicago & Eastern Illinois railroad has been sold to the Big Four, giving the latter an independent entrance into Chicago. The transfer is to be made February 1. Judge Langley has ordered Receiver C. M. Sheafe, of the Washington southern Railway Company, to file a final report on or before December 15. The report was to have been filed yesterday, but was not ready. A receiver has been appointed at Madison, Wis., for the Wisconsin Iron and Lumber Company and the Minnesota & Wisconsin Railroad Company. Ex-senator D. M. Sabin, of Minnesota, is at the head of both companies. The application for a receiver was an amicable arrangement. The aggregate indebtedness is $135,000. Judge Hallet, of the United States court at Denver, has appointed Frank Trumbull receiver for the Union Pacific, Denver & Gulf road. Trumbull is one of the directors of the Denver Tramway Company, in which Gov. Evans and his friends in the suit are the principal owners. The appointment is a victory for Gov. Evans and the other plaintiffs. Judge Osborn yesterday appointed H. H. A. Hastings receiver of the Security Savings bank on petition of J. K. Edmiston, its president, and A. C. Marconnier. The reasons given in the petition for the bank's closing are the same as published in the POST-INTELLIGENCER Sunday, with the exception that the Walla Walla branch is not mentioned. Hastings' bond of $50,000 was approved and filed upon his appointment.

# THE KRUG SURETY SUIT. Questions at Issue Between Trustee Perkins and North End Bank. The trial of the suit of C. G. Perkins, trustee for Krug's sureties, against the North End bank and the city of Seattle, which has occupied Judge Osborn's attention for two days, was brought to a close last evening and taken under advisement by the judge. The suit is one asking to be subrogated to the rights of the city against the funds in the North End bank. After the settlement between the city and the sureties on Krug's bond Krug assigned all of his right, title and interest in and to all securities which he held to the sureties, and the sureties appointed C. G. Perkins as their trustee to sue and collect and distribute the amounts collected to the parties entitled to the same. The plaintiff claims that the sureties settled with the city, and for that reason the sureties are entitled to be subrogated to all the rights of the city. The North End bank and the city both claim that the contract made with the sureties by the city had been complied with, in this: That the statement of the amount in the National Bank of Commerce was in reality more than the amount actually credited to the city upon the books of the bank, the discrepancy being about $1,100. The city claims that the credit given in the Security Savings bank was a fraudulent one, and that Edmiston, who was one of the sureties, in reality had no account with the Security Savings bank, and that the credit given the city upon the books of that bank was fraudulent. The city filed its claim against the Security Savings bank for something over $7,000 with the receiver, and the claim was rejected. The defense was based upon the theory that before the sureties upon an obliga-tion of this character can be subrogated to the rights of the creditor the whole of the debt must have been paid and the contract fully complied with. The plaintiff claims that the sureties did comply with the contract, and hence the litigation.

# A Compromise Settlement. H. H. A. Hastings, as receiver of the Security Savings bank, yesterday filed a petition for leave to compromise certain promisssory notes held among the bank's assets. It appears that in January, 1883, William L. Stirling and Thomas Carmichael executed three notes, two for $5.00 each and one for $2.625. One of these was acquired by the Walla Walla Savings bank, and after a receiver had been appointed for that institution suit was
