MORE BANKS SUSPEND. THE MONETARY STRINGENCY WORKING DISASTERS IN MANY STATES. Providence, R. I., Aug. 4.-The State Bank of this city was unable to meet its balance at the Providence Clearing House to-day and closed its doors. It is not a National bank, and It has a paid-up capital of $77,000. The suspension is probably only temporary and is due to the stringency of the money market and the withdrawal of deposits. The bank was one of the oldest of the State banks, and was instituted in 1850. It has not been regarded as sound. The report of the State Auditor in November, 1892, shows 1ts deposits to be $238,000. The officials say this afternoon that the bank will undoubtedly go into liquidation. It has many time-loans out. Lebanon, Penn., Aug. 4.-The Lebanon Trust and Safe Deposit Bank failed to open its doors this morning. This announcement was made: "This bank closed by order of the directors." The bank is a State institution with a capital of $50,000. The inability to collect outstanding accounts, the general tightness of the money market and personal litigation of the president, Robert H. Coleman, locking up its securities and enjoining It from disposing of them, have compelled this step. Muncie, Ind., Aug. 4.-The Citizens' National Bank, one of the oldest and soundest banks in this city, suspended business this morning. Withdrawals of deposits and inability to realize on paper are the causes. President Kerwood says that the assets are as two to one. Three other banks in this city are preparing for the worst, as the people are greatly excited over the failure. San Antonio, Tex., Aug. 4.-The Texas National Bank failed to open its doors this morning, and is now in the hands of a United States bank examiner. It is the smållest bank in the city; capital stock $100,000. The liabilities are small. The last statement shows only $76,000 deposits. The closing caused no excitement, and no runs on other banks. Colby, Wis., Aug. 4.-The Exchange Bank of Colby closed its doors this morning. The bank had a capital of $50,000, and owes depositors about $30,000. Baraboo, Wis., Aug. 4.-The Baraboo Savings Bank made an assignment here yesterday. R. B. Gripp was appointed assignee. Mankato, Minn., Aug. 4.-The First National Bank closed its doors at noon. The bank is solvent and depositors will be paid in full. At 1 :30 o'clock the National Citizens' Bank closed Its doors and hung out the following resolutions adopted at a meeting of the directors, held just previously "Owing to the suspension of the First National Bank of this city and present stringency in the money market, it is resolved to suspend payment until the present excitement subsides." Fifteen minutes later the Mankato National Bank closed its doors and exhibited the following statement: "Owing to the closing of the First National and National Citizens' banks. of this city, this bank is temporarily closed. The bank is perfectly solvent and all depositors are safe." The National Citizens' Bank has $90,000 in cash and the Mankato National has $55,000. The capital of the First National Bank is $150,000, and J. A. Willard is president. The capital stock of the National Citizens' is $100,000, John F. Meagher, president. The Mankato National Bank has $100,000, and John H. Ray is president. The only other bank in the city is.a savings bank, and was Trecently organized.

# WISCONSIN NEWS. YEAR-OLD daughter of Ben Johnson siding at Racine, while playing matches, set fire to her clothing as horribly burned about the arms and upper part of the body. Her father heard her screams, ran to the rescue, and in tearing off the child's clothing had his arms badly burned. SHAY, a farmer living near Neenah, was arrested on a charge of assault-ing Patrick Scanlan. The latter is in a critical condition. Shay was afterwards released on bail. GEORGE F. VEDDER, of Elkhorn, had his pocket picked while he was taking in the World's Fair. His railroad ticket and $20 in cash were taken. Marinette Eagle reports a log jam of about 50,000,000 feet on the main river and that it will require a large force to break it. A NICE meeting will be held at Aurora on August 15, 16, 17 and 18. The prizes aggregate $4,000. The shipments of lumber from the city of Marinette for the season of 1892 were nearly 300,000,000 feet. The shipping season for 1893 is fully half gone and about 110,000,000 feet are already shipped, which is one-third the quantity for last season. This clearly demonstrates that this year's shipments are going to fall far behind those of last season unless the shipments the remainder of the season are very much larger than they can reasonably be expected. First National Bank, of Platteville, has suspended payment. A quiet assessment has been made on the bank for the past three months, $85,000 having been withdrawn in that time. The bank had a capital stock of $50,000 and a surplus of $3,000. Dr. Eastman, president of the bank, says that depositors will be paid in full. It is expected that the bank will resume in a short time. The stockholders in the Juneau County Bank, of Mauston, have come out with a notice guaranteeing to each and every depositor of their bank for the period of one year the payment of all sums of money now deposited or which may hereafter be deposited in the Juneau County Bank during the limited period. JACOB ROHRER, an aged farmer residing near Chilton, was crushed in a terrible manner by a horse crowding him against the wall in a stall. His recovery is doubtful. JOHN P. WALL, a well-known lawyer of Chippewa Falls, has been arrested on a charge of embezzlement, the complainant being James McDonald, of that city. Two painters named Olsen and Tracy departed from Mauston in a flat-boat en route to Louisiana. They intend to pay their way by odd jobs here and there. BURGLARS entered the residence of Josiah Hocking at Racine and stole $50 in cash and a silver watch. The Belle City has been receiving particular attention at the hands of burglars of late. During the past three weeks there have been over twenty houses robbed. WHILE Mrs. F. Nickel, of West Bend, was removing a number of eggs from a setting in her chicken house, she discovered a dead chick which, upon examination, proved quite a curiosity. The young chicken has four feet feet and four wings, fully developed. CHARLES SPLITGERBER, a resident of the town of Deerfield, Dane County, was arrested and taken to Madison on a charge of assault with intent to kill one Allerton with a knife at a dance at Cottage Grove on the night of July 4. MRS. HENRIETTA SCHENCK, of Neenah, has been arrested on a charge of sending obscene matter through the mails. She was held in $500 bonds to appear at the next term of the circuit court in Winnebago county. A MAN giving his name as William Kellar was arrested at Sun Prairie on a charge of the larceny of two gold watches. He was bound over for trial under bonds of $500. THE Baraboo Savings Bank which closed its doors last week has made an assignment. R. B. Griggs, a former cashier of the bank, has been appointed as assignee. MISS ANNIE L. COLEMAN, daughter of Rev. Henry Coleman, of Beloit, was married to Henry M. Pennock, of Omaha. FIRE destroyed a large tobacco shed owned by Earnest Ambrecht in the town of Token, Dane County. Loss, $1,000. MR. AND MRS. FRED. MILLER, of La Crosse, drove to the World's Fair and back. The journey down occupied six days not including stops made at Beloit and Racine to visit relatives. Seven days were spent in coming back. HERMAN MATT, county clerk and cashier of the late Taylor County Bank, of Medford, who fled a few days before the bank assigned, has returned and was taken in charge by the sheriff. Matt secured bail for a continuance of hearing pending the action of the County Board concerning his alleged defalcation. GEORGE STRONG, formerly a resident of Fond du Lac, was killed at Kansas City. He was knocked from a freight train while passing under a bridge. DANNA C. LAMB, a well-known old resident of Fond du Lac, died at his home in that city. He was a prominent Republican and worked in the interest of his party for many years. He served as Indian commissioner under the Harrison administration, his duties being the allotment of lands to the Oneidas. He built the Oconto branch of the Chicago, Milwaukee & St. Paul railroad and was one of the officers of the Wisconsin Midland Railroad, a movement in which he was deeply interested. A FINE cambric needle an inch and a half long was taken from the leg of a 2-year-old child of Matt Simon, of La Crosse. The child began complaining last January of a pain a little above the knee.

MILWAUKEE, Aug. 4.-The Exchange Bank of Colby, Wis., and the Baraboo Savings of Baraboo have failed. R B Gripp has been appointed assignee of the Baraboo bank, but no statement has been made. The Exchange Bank of Colby has a capital of $50,000. It 0 ves depositors about $30,000. MUNICE Aug. A - The Citizens' Na tional Bank failed this morning. Its capital is $200,000, but no statement of the liabilities has been made. There were runs on the Farmers' National. Merchants' National Bank and the Delaware National Bank, but it is believed they will be able to continue in business. PROVIDENCE, Aug. 4. -The State Bank of this city was unable to meet its balance at the Providence Clearing House to day and closed its doors. It is not a national bank. It has a paid up capital of $77,000. The suspension is due to the stringency of the money market and the withdrawal of deposits. The bank was one of the oldest of the State banks, and was instituted in 1850. It has not been regarded as sound. The report of the State Auditor in November, 1892, shows its depos ts to be $238,900. SAN ANTONIO, Aug. 4 -The Texas National Bank failed to open its doors this morning and is now in the hands of a United States bank examiner. It is the smallest bank in the city, having a capital stock of $100,000. The liabili tiies are small. The last statement shows only $76,000 deposits. The closing caused no E xcitement and no runs on other banks. LEBANON, Pa.. Aug 4 -The Lebanon Trust and Safe Deposit Bank failed to open its doors this morning. The announcement was, "This bank closed by order of the directors." The bank is a State institution with a capital of $50,000. Inability to collect outstanding accounts, the general tightness of the money market and personal litigation of the president, Robert H. Coleman, locking up securities and enjoining it from disposing of them, have compelled this step. It is stated upon the authority of counsel that the result of this litigation cannot but be favorable to Mr. Coleman in the end, when the securities will be released, leaving ample assets to pay all claims. It is believed that the suspension is but temporary and that all depositors will be paid in full. It will have but little if any effect upon the other banks.

SURROUNDING COUNTRY. Charles Barber of Oshkosh, is well known lawyer, was married on Tuesday last. The Baraboo Savings Bank which suspended last July resumed on Monday last. Large gray wolves are quite humerous in Sawyer county and are bold enough to be dangerous to travelers. The city of Racine now claims a population of 26,230. Thisclaim is based upon the census taken for a new city directory. Diphtheria has again broken out at Grantsburg. That place has suffered terriby from the disease within the past year. A young man named Johnson, a resident of Union Grove, Racine Co., had his nose bitten off last week by a vicious horse which he was grooming. Three hundred tramps have been committed in three weeks at Baraboo at quite a cost. The taxpayers are objecting quite vigorously to the expense. The bondsmen of C. H.
