Description

No explicit run is described in the provided articles. The bank had reopened after the 1893 panic (article dated 1893-11-04) but by Feb 24, 1894 a receiver had been appointed (mentioned in later court filings and receiver reports). The sequence is best classified as a suspension leading to permanent closure/receivership. Cause of suspension/receivership is not explicitly stated in the excerpts (court actions, judgments, and receivership proceedings dominate), so 'other' is used.
