Description

Contemporary articles report a depositor run that caused the bank to close on Aug 2, 1893; the bank was authorized to resume Aug 28 and reported reopened Aug 30 after complying with Controller of the Currency conditions. Cause of the initial run is not specified in the articles (part of the broader 1893 stringency), so I classify the immediate cause as 'other'.
