ALBANY BANK SUSPENDS. The Commercial Unable to Meet Its Checks-Assets Far in Excess 01 Liabilities. Albany, Ga., Jan. 17.-The Commercial Bank of Albany failed to open its doors at the usual hour this morning, and the following notice appeared posted at the door, where it had been placed during the night: "The bank has suspended payment, pending action by the proper authorities. T. M. Carter, president. S. G. Turner, cashier." The suspension of the Commercial Bank was the result of a quiet run which had been in progress for nearly a month past, during which time the deposits had fallen from nearly a hundred thousand to about fifty-eight thousand dollars. Yesterday in the clearing house the balance was heavily against the Commercial in favor of the other banks of the city, and it had to acknowledge inability to meet its checks. The directors were in session all during the afternoon and up to a late hour last night, and it was hoped that arrangements could be made whereby the bank could carry on its business as usual, but it was finally decided that to suspend payment would be the wisest course. To your correspondent an official of the bank gave the following statement to-day: The assets consist of bills receivable to the value of $170,722.75, and real estate worth $21,000. a total of $191,722.75. Liabilities due depositors, $58,117.16 (of which $33,000 was held subject to check), and bills payable outstanding amounting to $65,000, a total of $123,117.10. From these figures it is seen that the assets are $68,505.65 in excess the liabilities. During the last thirty days the bank has redeemed $38,000 of its bills payable. It is believed that the depositors will be paid in full. On application of the Board of Directors. Judge W. N. Spence has appointed Morris Weslosky temporary receiver of the institution. The Commercial Bank has a capital of $79,000, and was organized in 1888. T. M. Carter is president. S. G. Turner cashier, and N. R. Dehon, assistant cashier.

James McLean of New York, who was arrested at Boston, Thursday eight, charged with shooting John McPherson of Olean, N.

ALBANY BANK SUSPENDS AFTER RUN OF A. MONTH ALBANY, Ga., Jan. 17.-The Commercial bank of Albany did not open for business this morning and a notice posted on the door stated the bank had suspended payment pending action by proper authorities. A quiet run had been going on for one month past and the bank was yesterday unable to meet its checks in the clearing house. The bank's capital was $79,000, reduced from $100,000, and notice had been given that it would be converted into a national bank. The liabilities are bills payable, $65,000; deposits, $58,117.10. Assets are estimated at $170,000 in bills receivable and $21,000 in real estate. It seems certain that depositors will be fully paid. The directors have applied to Judge Spence to have Morris Weslosky appointed temporary receiver pending action of the state authorities. The bank was organized in 1888. The bank's officers are: T. M. Carter, president: S. G. Turner. cashier, and T. M. Carter, R. E. Carter, M. Weslosky, John Mock, H. N. Parker, W. W. Pace, T. N. Woolfolk, S. G. Turner, directors.

# COL. HAWKINS IS MADE MASTER In Hearing of Suspended Albany Bank Case. Col. E. A. Hawkins of Americus has been selected as special master to hear the proceedings in an important bank case, that of the defunct Commercial Bank of Albany, the supreme court having handed down a decision in the case of the minority stockholders against the directors. This decisior, it seems, sustaine the lower court and allows the proceedings to continue on the merits of the case. The minority stockholders entered suit against the officers and directors of the bank for value of their stock. The depositors were paid in ful, but stockholders received nothing, and the directors were charged with mismanagement as result of which the capital and surplus of the bank was lost. Exceptions were made by the defense when the case came up before Judge Spence, irregularities in the manner of the proceedings being alleged. These were overruled, and the case went to the Supreme Court. As the result of the decision just rendered the case will now go before Col. E. A. Hawkins, master, for a hearing on its merits. The capital stock of the bank had been $100,000, but was reduced to $65,000 prior to the failure. The officers and directors of the bank are among the prominent business men of Albany and wide interest attaches to the case.
