Description

The Henrietta National Bank suspended in late July 1887 (Comptroller directed examiner); a receiver was appointed and took charge in August 1887. The bank did not resume normal operations; a receiver paid dividends through 1888–1889 and final full payment declared in 1889. The failure is tied to cattle-market losses and large liabilities/attachments of local cattle firms (Curtis & Atkinson, Ikard), i.e., bank-specific adverse information/local commercial shock. No clear independent depositor-initiated run is described as causing the suspension.

The Henrietta (Tex.) National Bank closed its doors yesterday. No estimate of the extent of the failure can be given. Miss Rebecca Hunter, a prominent lady of Newport, R. I., committed suicide last night by jumping from the cliffs into the harbor. Wallace Phillips, the boy who was shot in the head by the cowboys of Sells's circus, during their recent performance at Clinton, Ia, died yesterday. Mrs. Grace Brotherton Deems and her husband, Dr. Francis M. Deems, the son of the Rev. Dr. Charles S. Deems, of New York, have amicably adjusted their differences. Richard H. Paine, clerk under Paymastor Putnam, at the Portsmouth navy-yard, was arrested last night. charged with the embezzlement of about $3,000 of the paymaster's funds. At Youngstown, O., yesterday, Ebenezer Stanyard, convicted of the murder of Alice Hancox, his sweethart, in March last, was sentenced to be hanged Nov. 18, in the penitentiary at Columbus. C. J. Little. a Breathitt county lumber merchant, was arrested at Louisville last night, at the instance of Marion Childers, an Indiana contractor, who charges that Little made way with $1,500 worth of county bonds that he gave him to sell. James Gorham and Mrs. James Dewey. of Springfield. Mass., were arrested by the Clevoland police yesterday, at the instance of Mrs. Gorham, who charges that the couple eloped from Springfield last Wednesday. Gorham was an engineer on the Boston & Albany railroad and Mrs. Dewey is the wife of a Springfield carpenter. The Colby mine safe, at Bessemer, Mich., was robbed of $4,000 on Saturday night. The burglars gained admission by the office windows. Saturday was pay-day, and over $30,000 was distributed. There is generaliy about $10,000 in the safe after pay-day, as some men don't get their wages until Monday. There is no clew to the robbers. Oliver and Elmer Brumbaugh. cousins, aged twenty and twenty-two, respectively, the sons of wealthy farmers living near Congress lake, Ohio, were drowned, Sunday afternoon, while bathing in the lake. Neither could swim, and they jumped from a boat into ten feet of water. A companion in the boat tried to save them, but failed. Jameson, the steeple-chase jockev, who was hurt by the falling of the Canadian horse Willie W. in a race at the West-side track, Chicago, on Saturday, is in a dying condition. Until yesterday it was supposed that he was but slightly injured, but the fact is that his skull was fractured, and a surgical operation yesterday afternoon only served to leave him unconscious. Giles Smith, of Deerfield, N. Y., lost three cows last Wednesday by bloody murrain. Ho had them buried near a running stream, which infected the water. Three cows belonging to Wm. Budlong, jr., a neighbor, died of the disease. Budlong and John Raymond, while looking for the cause, were stung by mosquitoes, and are now seriously ill, having been inoculated with the murrain virus. There is considerable excitement and indignation about the matter. The stream runs through several large farms of imported cattle. Mrs. Joseph Dewitt, a wealthy lady of Wichita, Kan., was probably fatally stabbed, about 9 o'clock last night, by her step-daughter, Mollie Bennett. of Hot Springs. Ark. Miss Bennet is a daughter of Dewitt by his first wife, and upon her coming to Wichita Mrs. Dewitt refused her admission to the house. Last evening, Miss Bennett, accompanied by a young man, drove up to the house, and upon Mrs. Dewitt coming to the door, drew a knife and stabbed her twenty times in the breast, face, neck and arms. She will probably die. The assailant had not been arrested at last accounts.

FROM VASHINGTON. -Complaint has been received by the interstate commerce commission, signed by the manager of the Merchants' Freight bureau, of New York, on behalf of 281 merchants of the States of Michigan, Illinois, Indiana, Ohio, Pennsylvania and Delaware, that the pre-ent classification in use for west-bound traffic by the New York Central, Delaware, Lackawanna and Western, Pennsylvania, Baltimore, Ohio and Erio railroad companies, as regards unjust differences now made in classifications and freight charges between carloads and less than carloads on the same articles between the same points are in violation of sections of the interstate law, forbidding undue preferences to individuals or localities. Complainants ask for the restoration of the principle of uniform rates without regard to quantity which was in force from the seaboard for twenty years previous to April, 1877. -The Secretary of the Interior has denied the claim of Wm. Hedgepeth, ex-private in the Forty-secon 1 Indiana volunteers. The c. 80 is an uncommon one and has been the subject of much discussion by pension officials. Hedgepeth was captured in 1868 and confined as a prisoner at Andersonville. After remaining in captivity for months, he enlisted in the confederate army, he says, to escape starvation, and 80 informed his fellow prisoners, and that at the first opportunity he would desert, and, if pos ible, make his way back to his old command. After a short service in the confederate army he carried out this intention and finally reached his old regiment in which he served until discharged. Some years ago Hedgepeth applied for a position on the ground of disability contracted while in the federal service. This act was fully sustained. The law provides that no one who aided, directly or indirectly, the enemies of the government in the late war, shall be permitted to draw n pension. --The:e are indications that the Grand Army of the Republic will take such notice of the indiscreet atterances of Gen. Tuttle and a few other ambitions members of the organization, as will clearly show that these individu ils do not represent the Grand Army in their criticism of the President. Alrea ly several posts have repudiated the utterances of Tuttle, and it is probable that the attention of the Grand Army will be called to the matter when assembled in conven ion at St. Louis. The great majority of Grand Army men deprecate the introduction of politics in the society, knowing that such a policy would ultimately disrupt 1+, and if the opportunity to presented at the national gathering at St. Louis, such a declaration will Le officially promulgated. -Assistant (ashier Meline, of the Treasury, has gone to Cincinnati with a force of clerks to examine the condition of the subtreasury at that city. - he comptroller of the currency having rec ived information that the Henrietta National Bank of Henrie!ta, Tex., has suspended, has directed the St ite Examiner to take charge of its affairs

Kerr, appointed by the United States Comptroller at Washington to take charge of the Henrietta National Bank, arrived on the evening train of the 21st. The control of the bank's affairs were, however, not received by him until to-day. The belief has been SO general for the past few days that the bank would resume business some time this week that but few of the creditors would have accepted 95 cents on the 81 in cash, but alas, it would be accepted now. The chances are still that the creditors will get dollar for dollar, possibly that the bank will resume business is also expressed by authority. Mr. James Kincannon. the inspector for this district, who has been here since the suspension of the bank exerting all his ability in trying to sift out the affairs of the bank, was presented to-day with a memorial signed by about forty of the principal depositors, asking him to accept the sincere thanks of the undersigned for the very strong efforts they believe him to have made for their interests while having the control of affairs.
