Its capital is $500,000 with a guaranty fund of $100,000. Its liabilities are said to be about $500,000. The run on the Farmers' and Mechanics' Bank continues this mording.

Minneapolis, Dec. 30.-The Bankers' Exchange bank went into the hands of Bank Examiner Kenyon this morning. Depositors had drawn out about $35,000 the past few days, and President Fields concluded to close up, though he had in the vaults nearly 30 per cent of all the money on deposit. The bank is less than a year old, having been incorporated last May. Its loans and discounts are $68,000, its capital $30,000 and its deposits about $40,000. Depositors will be paid in full, and a fair sum will be left for stockholders. George Maxwell, vice-president of the Northern Trust company, made application this morning for a receiver for the company. A McGill, ex-governor of Minnesota, is president of the organization. The following statement was issued by the company: "This company has for some time been seeking to realize upon its loans and securities, and has until now been able to maintain itself without difficulty, but the present depressed condition of finances is such that it has been unable to realize as it had hoped, and the suspension within two or three days of some of the banks of the city in which it had some of its available funds has embarrassed it in the transaction of its business. Independent of its assets, the company has a list of responsible stockholders who are abundantly able to make good any deficiency that may result from depreciation in value of its assets, so that the creditors of the company need have no apprehension as to the ultimate result; their claims will all be paid in full, even if the company is not permitted to immediately resume business, as is now hoped." The liabilities of the company are about $500,000. Judge Jamison issued a restraining order returnable at 10 o'clock tomorrow morning. Judge Bendel signed an order this morning appointing Judge A. Ueland receiver of the Washington bank under a bond of $200,000. The petition recites that the bank has $27,774 more liabilities than assets. Deputy Comptroller Coffin is still in charge of the Columbia National bank, awaiting the arrival of Bank Examiner Cooke. The Farmers' and Mechanics' bank issued a notice this morning requesting all depositors to give 60 days' notice before being permitted to withdraw deposits. The bank issued a statement saying it had $800,000 in its vaults. The Clearing House association held a meeting and resolved to stand by all of the banks which are members of the organization.

# CONDENSED DISPATCHES. The steamer L'Oriflamme at London om Philadelphia for Rouen, arrived in Havre roads, Jan. 18, and is reported shore at the entrance to the harbor of Honfleur, France. She lies in a dangerous position. Three tugs have failed to float her. The commissioner of navigation reports that American vessels built and documented during the first six months of the seal year number 384 of 113,572 tons, compared with 328 of 88,390 tons, in the first six months of the previous fiscal year, indicating the largest annual output within the last 14 years, except that of 1890 and 1891. The Youth's Temple of Honor, a life insurance organization, at Minneapolis, Minn., assigned, Wednesday. It is said to have been embarrassed to some extent by the suspension of the Northern Trust Co. The liabilities may reach $100,000; assets small. Private letters from Miss Mary Daniels of Franklin, Mass., missionary at Harboot, Turkey, indicate that there is considerable unrest in that locality, although there has been no recent outbreak. Some time ago, it was feared that there might be another massacre similar to the one a year previous, but the danger was averted. Distressing accounts continue to be received from other parts of Armenia. Judge Slack rendered a decision at San Francisco, Wednesday, in the case of Lillian Ashley against F. J. (Lucky) Baldwin for $75,000 damages for seduction, during the trial of which the plaintiff's sister shot at Baldwin in court. The decision is adverse to the woman, but holds that Baldwin is the father of her child, and is bound by all laws of morality to support it. The representative of the United Associated Presses in Vienna telegraphs that the employes in the rolling mills at Anina, Hungary, having become discontented with the new pension scheme, became riotous, Wednesday, and made a fierce attack upon a force of gendarmes sent to restore order. The officers attempted to disperse the rioters, but the latter stood their ground and a desperate fight ensued. The gendarmes finally fired upon the mob, and 12 rioters were seriously wounded. A number of officers were severely wounded during the melee. A dispatch from Vienna to the London Central News says that eight riotous workmen were killed and many wounded in the fight.

MINNEAPOLIS GLOBULES. The Joannin Hanson company, sash, door and blind manufacturers, has made an assignment to Charles W. Brown. Judge McGee yesterday morning issued an order requiring the creditors of C. A. Carstensen to file releases by Jan. 20, 1898. Charles T. Leonard, manufacturer of tents and awnings, made an assignment for the benefit of credit rs yesterday, to S. T. Hauser. No figures are given. Detective Hicks arrested Onie and Richard Reardon yesterday morning for burglary. It is alleged that they entered William Groves' residence at 802 Girard avenue north on two separate occasions, and each time secured a watch. Onie Reardon has been under arrest before. In spite of the opposition of holiday time, etc., "At Piney Ridge" is being greeted with good sized audiences at the Bijou. Everybody who sees this interesting Southern drama votes it one of the best productions ever seen here. It is a play of natural scenes, natural story and natural players. Christmas matinee this afternoon at 2:30. A report has been filed by the assignee of James McNair showing receipts of $4,370 and disbursements of $735, leaving $3.635 on hand. The assignee estimates the value of the stock still on hand at $5,000, and states that it is doubtful if the real estate and the book accounts will realize anything at all. Lieut. Falk, inspector of rifle practice of the National Guard, is to be banqueted Wednesday evening at the Commercial club by the boys of Company I. There will be music and a programme of toasts. The lieutenant is one of the most popular, as well as one of the most efficient, officers in the service. Daniel Fish, receiver for the Northern Trust company, has filed a supplementary report showing receipts since Dec. 2, $1,620.79; disbursements, $1,223.27, and cash on hand, $4,360.59. With the report are statements of accounts of Biddle & Ward, attorneys of Philadelphia, $813.30, and E. B. Bennett, of Hartford, Conn., $903.35. Theater goers look for something quite out of the ordinary at Christmas time, and those who patronize the Metropolitan today will not be disappointed, as "The Heart of Maryland," the very excellent drama by David Belasco, which Mrs. Leslie Carter and a splendid company have been presenting this week, is in every sense a capital holiday attraction.
