NEWS OF THE FAILED BANKS Washington Institution Closes With a Depositors-Pa1d-in-Fuli Notice, Olympia, Wash., Jan. 27.-The following notice was this morning posted on the door of the First National bank as the first announcement of its suspension: "Owing to unexpected heavy withdrawals of deposits, this bank is compelled to suspend until we can realize on our assets. Depositors will not lose a dollar. "A. A. PHILLIPS, President." Mr. Phillips stated that the immediate cause of the suspension was the withdrawal by the state treasurer of $35,000 of state money. This frightened other depositors, who made a run on the bank, forcing it to close its doors. The state deposits were withdrawn on January 1. The liabilities of the bank are $100,000, $75,000 being individual deposits of residents of this town and county. The assests are stated to be $226,000, a large amount of which can be realized on very soon. Youngstown, O., Jan. 27.-It is estimated today that at least 100 people living between East Lewiston and Columbiana will lose sums ranging from $500 to $20,000 each through the failure of the Ohio Lumber and Mining company, which went under about a month ago, carrying with it the Easterly bank at Columbiana. This company, composed of members of the Mennonites, a religious sect, was incorporated eight years ago, with a capital stock of $50,000. The company bought 24,000 acres of fortst land in Virginia with the idea of making and selling railroad ties, but things went from bad to worse until a crash came, and it comes out that this was the strain that broke the Easterly bank last month. Cincinnati, O., Jan. 27.-The probability of a clash between the state and national authorities over the receivership of the First National bank of Newport seems now to be remote. Judge Helm is away in Washington, as are also Receiver Wilshire and Commissioner Hodge, who was to have been appointed receiver by Judge Helm. Itnow appears that the course proposed by Judge Helm will not be followed, and that there will be no interference/with the appointment of Wilshire. made by Comptroller Eckles. Washington, Jan. 27.-The Merchants' and Planters' National bank, of Bryan, Texas, which suspended payment December 23, 1896, having complied with the conditions imposed by the comptroller of the currency and its capital stock being now unimpaired, has been permitted to re-open its doors for business. Washington, Jan. 27.-The First National bank of Holidaysburg, Pa., which suspended payment December 14, 1896, having complied with the conditions imposed by the comptroller of the currency and its capital stock being now unimpaired, has been permitted to re-open its doors for business. Washington, Jan. 27.-The comptroller of the currency has appointed William E. Hughes of New Orleans receiver of the Mutual National bank of New Orleans.
