Description

Multiple articles report the New Albany Banking Company suspended payment and closed on June 7, 1893. The suspension is repeatedly attributed to a run on the Bedford Bank (contagion/local_banks). A deed of assignment to John H. Stotzenberg (assignment/trust) is reported the same day, consistent with permanent closure/liquidation rather than a temporary suspension and reopening.

CONCERNING BUSINESS AND FINANCE. NEW YORK, June 7.-The direct liabilities of Erastus Wiman as scheduled are stated at $501,000; contingent liabilities $315,000. The assignees estimate the real estate in his possession as sufficient to pay the direct indebtedness unsecured by collateral and the surplus of collateral, together with interests in various companies can be applied to the liquidation of such contingent liabilities as may be found to exist after realization upon the assets which these represent. NEW YORK, June 7.-Direct liabilities of Thomas M. Barre & Co., coffee merchants, as scheduled, are $948,680: contingent llabilities $30,330; nominal assets $965,335; actual assets $308,697. CHICAGO, June .-Joseph Rathbone & Co., lumber dealers, made a voluntary assignment this morning. Assets are scheduled at $500,000, and liabilities at $250,000 Robert F. Shanklin, the assignee, is now in possession of the company's property. Inability to realize on commercial paper is given as the cause of the assignment. CLEVELAND, O., June 7.-A runis in progress on the St. Clair Street Branch of the East End Savings Bank Company. Many depositors were promptly paid. Offers from other city banks were received, but refused by the oficers who said their bank was entirely solvent and able to care for itself.

A deed of assignment was today made to John H. Stotzenberg. WASHINGTON, D. C., June 6.-Comptroller Eckels to day appointed Charles S. Winslow receiver of the Evanston National Bank of Evanston, Illinois. A telegram from Chicago received this afternoon by Mr. Eckels states the financialsituation there "is more cheerful.' MINNEAPOLIS, MINN., June 7.-A rnmor gained circulation to-day that two of the best known Elevator companies in the Northwest, the Northern Pacific and the Red River Valley, were temporarily embarrassed. The facts in the case as yet will not warrant the assertion that it is a business failure, although the statement comes direct from the general manager of the Northern Pacitic Elevator Company, that that corporation will ask for the appointment of a receiver. The capital stock of the Northern Pacific Elevator Company is $650,000 and of the Red River Valley Company, $250,000. The interests of both concerns are held largely by the same men. A later telegram from Wheatland, N. D., says the Northern Pacific Elevator was closed to-day on an attachment for the Canadian Bank of Montreal. KOKOMO, IND., June 7.-Warrants for the arrest of ex-Governor Chase, Paris and Walden, who were yesterday indicted by the Howard county grand jury in the Greentown bank matter, are in the hands of the sheriff but will not be served before to-morrow on those in reach of service. The courtremoved the bar of secrecy from the grand jury this morning, and they talk freely. They allege that -Governor Chase took intending depositors into the bank a short time before the failure, and showed them "piles of monev," and the few good securities held by the concern. The bad ones. of which they say Gov. Chase had knowledge, were not brought out. Paris and Walden have drawn $15,000 from the bank on their personal notes, the funds going to Paris. Chase knew if this paper when he was recommending the bank as a safe place of deposit. CHICAGO, June -The flurry among savings bank deporitors had about run its course this morning. At the saving institutions where there was still enough of a gathering to be called a crowd, there was no sign of the panicky unreasoning alarm which beset the depositors Monday, and before the closing hour this afternoon it is thought the run will have subsided.
