Description

The bank first suspended payment July 19, 1893 (financial stringency), resumed Aug 8, 1893, then suspended again Oct 18, 1893 and subsequently went into receivership (receiver appointed by November 1893 and later changes in receivers through 1894). There is no clear contemporaneous description of a depositor run triggering the suspensions; initial suspension is attributed to general financial stringency (macro panic). Classified as suspension_closure because ultimately the bank was placed in receivership and failed.

One of the results of the Ford's Theatre disaster was an army order issued directing additional 2nd Lieutenant John S. Sewell, corps of engineers now at Willet's Point, N. Y., to report to Col. Wilson, in charge of the public buildings here, to aid in their inspection. Charges of perjury made against a Japanese interpreter employed at the U.S. Custom house in San Francisco, have been disregarded by the Treasury Department and a sharp reproof delivered to persons who made the accusation. The total number of pensioners dropped from the pension rolls since March 4, 1893, is 245, and the total number of pensioners snspended since March 4, pending a further investigation of their cases, is 5,090. The Comptroller of the Currency has been advised that the Hutchinson National Bank, Hutchinson, Kan., closed its doors to business this morning. An important change has been made by the Treasury Department in the classification of wool, that will lower the duty on some grades of the articles nearly a hundred per cent. It is expected in the department that a large number of important Treasury appointments will be made in a short time. Secretary Carlisle's return from Chicago will preface the decisions in a number of applications that are hanging fire. Whether President Cleveland will sign the commissions of the lucky persons at once or wait until Congress convenes to send their names to the Senate cannot be definitely settled. Among these early appointments, or selections rather, will be a fourth auditor of the
