THE SAN ANTONIO FAILURE. The Bank Suspension is Only Temporary, but is Depressing. SAN ANTONIO, Dec. 27.-As stated briefly in these dispatches last night, the Maverick Bank, of this city, was compelled to close its doors yesterday after a run of three weeks' duration, with liabilities of $884,164 and assets of $1,789,915, as shown by the schedules of assignment. The assets, while more than double the amount of the liabilities, consist largely of real estate and other securities, which cannot be realized on immediately without a sacrifice, and the policy of the assignee will be to avoid sacrificing the interests of the creditors by hasty action. The suspension of this bank, the first in the history of the city, has had a somewhat depressing influence on local trade, but it is regarded as only temporary, Thus far there has been no run on any of the other banks consequent upon the Maverick suspension, and none is anticipated. The Alamo brewery, Maverick printing house, San Antonio Paint Company and Alamo Insurance Company, in all of which Mr. Maverick has large interests, are not affected by the bank's closing, and are being conducted uninterruptedly.

SHORT STOPS. What the People are Saying The Bastile celebration was a great success in our city. By clever management,-the appearance of a quarrel-the elite were relieved of those who refuse to don dress suits. The Mexicans and Italians and French workingmen were marching to the Springs, while the fashionable and toney crowd had a swell ball and banquet at Mission Garden. * * * Our adroit county clerk and able city treasurer, after doing a full day's work with the common people at the Springs, managed to slip away and don dress suits and appear as prominent figures at Mission Garden. It's a cool day in July when a ring politician gets left. * * * The Bastile was a sort of political prison, where the kingly tyrants of the French people put their enemies away. Now, for instance, if we had a city Bastile, how easy it would be to dispose of people who criticise the city government. It would not be necessary to knock them down-the simple touch on the shoulder by a policeman, would settle the business. # * * An old Italian claims that it was the celebration of the"Fall of Rome" that gave the idea to the French colony of our city to celebrate the Fall of the Bastile. At any rate it is a glorious tribute to the French people whose hatred of monarchy has educated the world in favor of a republican form of government. * * * The countrymen of Lafayette can well claim brotherhood with the countrymen of Washington; and any day that marks an era in the history of popular government in France finds sympathy in the heart of every true American. * * Business is reaching the low-water, mid-summer mark. Look in at the store show windows and you will be astonished at the bargains offered. * * * But there is still another cause than the high range of the thermometer for business stagnation. There is money enough but it don't circulate. Its only bad, or moderately bad, people that are reckless with their money; the good people don't drink beer, rideabout on Sunday or gamble; hence they are poor money circulators. * * * And there is the McKinley bill that has not made the price of dry goods or other goods go up. The people are chewing the end of reflection. * * The run on the Maverick bank for the 10 per cent payment to depositors, reopens one of the sorest misfortunes that ever betel our people. * * Indignant people who had put their all in the bank, find little comfort if their accounts have not been filed with the receivers. * * * Ten per cent is not much better than putting a drop of water on a d
TO THE CREDITORS OF THE MAVERICK BANK. SAN ANTONIO, Tex., Oct. 19, 1891.-It appearing that about four hundred and fifty creditors of the Maverick bank, representing an aggregate indebtedness of about sixty thousand dollars ($60,000). neglected to file their several claims against the assigned estate of Sam Maverick within the time prescribed by law, and are therefore denied participation in the assigned estate, and understanding that such neglect to file was in most instances caused by oversight or ignorance of the law, and desiring to see those creditors protected equally with the others who filed their claims, and having faith in the assigned estate of Sam Maverick ultimately pay ing the debts in full, with a surplus sufficient to reimburse us; therefore we, the undersigned, will pay to the creditors of the bank who have failed to file their claims, when the amount due shall be certified from the books of the bank by the custodian thereof, and approved by us, the same percentages as have been and may be hereafter paid by the assignee on the filed claims; that IS, immediate. ly on such claims being certified, approved and accepted by us as just claims against the Maverick bank, we will pay a percentage thereon equal to the percentage that may have been at the time of such transfer, paid by the assignee upon claims duly filed against the assigned estate. and we will pay thereafter on such claims additional percentages equal to percentages thereafter paid by the assignee on filed claims. We reserve the right to reject any claims not considered by us to be just. We will hold the claims so transferred to us under this proposition, not as charges or claims against the assigned estate, and they shall only be repaid to us from such estate after it shall have paid in full the creditors who filed their claims. Creditors desiring to accept this proposition must present their claims to Albert Maverick, at his office, during the sixty days from November 12, 1891, to January 10, 1892, inclusive, and must be prepared to assign to us their claims, taking our obligations to carry out the terms of this proposition. Therefore take notice that claims not presented on or before January 10, 1892, will not be considered by us. GEORGE M. MAVERICK, W. H. MAVERICK, MARY A. MAVERICK, 10-19 2-wks wk 2t ALBERT MAVERICK,
