IRISH AMERICAN BANK I Makes An Assignment Because Of Bus. iness Depression. On Thursday last the Irish-American bank of this city closed its doors, placing its books in the hands of Bank Examiner Kenyon, and later in the day made an assignment to Frank R. Hubacheck, of the law firm of Rea, Hubacheck & Healy. The bank has paid out in the last six weeks a large amount of deposits and of course that sum was taken from the business of the institution. The bank has good paper and considerable real estate, although the latter cannot satisfactorily be converted into cash. The American Savings and Loan Association was a large depositor in the bank and the latter institution is now in the hands of a receiver. The bank examiner ordered an assessment of 35 per cent on the stockholders about a month ago. If this had been realized, it is thought the bank would have continued in good condition. The stockholders had 90 days in which to pay the assessment and as but 30 days had elapsed the full assessment had not been collected. The assets and liabilities have not yet been given out. The bank was organized in 1888 and the officers then elected have continued to hold their positions until now. The numerous friends of the institution will deeply regret the present unfortunate condition of affairs.

OWING TO A RUN, Precipitated by the Failure of the City Bank in Minneapolis. Minneapolis, Jan. 18.-Owing to a heavy run precipitated by the City Bank failure of yesterday, the IrishAmerican Bank closed its doors at noon. The bank examiner is in charge, and as yet it is impossible to get any satisfactory statement of the bank's affairs. The officers of the bank are: President, J. S. Coughlin; vice president, J. E. Gould; cashier, J. C. Scallen. James H. Bishop, of the AmerIcan Savings and Loan, is one of the directors. The American carried a big deposit in the Irish-American, which may have been a factor in the bank's action. The paid capital of the IrishAmerican was $100,000, and in a statement of its condition at the end of business Dec. 13, 1893, the resources and liabilities balance at $554,684.26. The heaviest liabilities are demand certificates of deposit, 39,000.22; time certificates of deposit, $176,866.64; individual deposits subject to check, $109,919.38; total, $385,786.24. Amount due to other banks, rediscounts and bills payable, foot up at $50,000. The heaviest item among the assets is loans and discounts, $427,959.16. There is also about $33,000 worth of real es. tate.

MINNEAPOLIS. MINNEAPOLIS GLOBULES. The suit of Louisa La Belle for divorce from William La Belle was dismissed in Judge Kerr's court. The ever popular "Fantasma" opened to bigger business than ever at the Bijou yesterday. There will be a popular-priced matinee tomorrow. There are forty cases on the jury calendar which should have been taken up before now. The court house was swarming with lawyers yesterday morning. A dwelling house at 2720 Thirteenth avenue south was entered by sneak thieves Sunday night while the family were away and a quantity of silverware stolen. An order was issued yesterday morning by Judge Jamison allowing the assignee of the Irish-American bank until Feb. 3 to prepare a schedule of assets and liabilities. The regular meeting of the Ishwara Theosophical society will be held this evening at 8 o'clock at 939 Guaranty Loan building. Subject, "Evolution," a paper written by Dr. J. W. B. LaPierre. City Comptroller Nye was at his desk yesterday morning after an absence of ten days in the East, during which he disposed of the reservoir bonds to Lamprecht Bros.' company at their bid of $208,042. The Methodist divines, at their meeting at the Hennepin Avenue church yesterday morning, first listened to and then discussed a paper by Rev. E. P. Robertson on the "Intellectual Satisfaction of the Religious niverse.' George A. Bracket has filed a claim against the city for $350, alleged to have been paid out in taxes from 1887 to Oct. 1895, on a strip of ground 9x59 feet, between Second avenue south and Washington avenue, in "Lock-up" alley. Peter P. Swenson was the first witness in the Weitzner, Gruenberg & Co. case yesterday, but he had not given any testimony before the court was adjourned until this morning. The case seems to be fated, for now it is P. J. McLaughlin, one of the attorneys for the plaintiff, who is ill. City Engineer F. W. Cappelen will address the Engineers' club, of the state university, this evening on the "Public Water Supply of Minneapolis." The meeting will be held in the lecture room of the department of physics at 8 o'clock. J. F. Kellogg, of Fond du Lac, Wis., is here to start a yeast factory. He is an expert in this business, and his product already has a good reputation on the market. The name of the new concern will be the Minneapolis Yeast company. Judge Charles M. Pond has extended the stay of proceedings in the case of Jennette W. Hale against the Life Indemnity and Investment company, now called the Iowa Life Insurance company, until and including Saturday, Feb. 1, 1896. The receiver of the City Bank has notified all depositors to bring their pass books to him that they may all be balanced up, and the work of preparing the schedules facilitated. It is not thought the schedules can be prepared before next week Monday. The armistice which was declared between the two factions of the house of Fred W. Eastman has been shortlived, and Mrs. Eastman, through her attorneys, Shaw, Cray, Lancaster & Baxter, has again commenced suit for absolute divorce from her husband, together with suitable alimony, the custody of their one child and attorney's fees. There was scarcely a vacant seat in the Metropolitan, Minneapolis, last night when the curtain went up on the elaborate production of Palmer Cox's "Brownies," and before the final transformation it is safe to say that there was not a person in the theater but was a fervent admirer of the gorgeous spectacle. The "Brownies" has been staged with a lavish hand, and in the selections of characters to represent the odd characters of Mr. Cox's creation the management have made excellent choice.

IRISH-AMERICAN BANK CREDITORS HAVE A LIVELY MEETING. OBJECT TO THE ASSIGNEE, AND WILL ASK THE COURT TO NAME A RECEIVER TO WIND UP AFFAIRS, GUARANTY LOAN LAW LIBRARY. A Move to Secure It for the CountyGeneral News of Minneapolis. It was an angry crowd of men and women that met in Room 512 of hte Bank of Commerce yesterday afternoon. They were the creditors and depositors of the suspended Irish-American bank, and they had assembled to talk over their unhappy condition. John Glennon presided, and J. W. Fitzgerald acted as secretary. Mr. Glennon briefly stated the object of the meeting, which was to secure the appointment of a receiver for the Insolvent bank in place of Assignee Frank R. Hubachek. The following statement of the wishes of the depositors was read and adopted with genuine Celtic warmth: "Reasons why a receiver should be applied for for the Irish-American Bank: "1. Mr. Hubachek, the present assignee, has been the attorney for the bank for the last three or four years. He is also a member of the firm of Rea, Hubachek & Healy. Judge Rea is a stockholder in the IrishAmericean bank, and has been connected with Blethen. the Bank of New England, with "2. That the Irish-American bank has loaned Blethen $17,000, which loan must have been advised by their attorneys, Rea, Hubachek & Healy. "Gould, the vice president of the IrishAmerican bank, resigned a short time before the bank failed, and connected himself with the firm of Rea, Hubachek & Healy, and is now taking an active part in settling up the affairs of said bank. "3. Hubachek will evidently do all in his power to cover up anything that would damage the stockholders or officers of the bank, and has no interest whatever in the depositors; that if a fair and impartial man could be appointed receiver the stockholders would get the accounts settled up sooner and more satisfactorily. "The only difference between a receiver and an assignee is that one is appointed by the court, and the other is appointed by the party making the assignment, and whenever an assignment is crooked or anything has been done to cheat or deceive the public, 1t 18 in the interest of the party making the assignment to put in some one who is his friend and who he has confidence in, and that party is in duty bound to protect the man who places him in the position. "We do not say but what Mr. Hubachek is a fair man, but he is in duty bound to protect the stockholders and officers of the bank who have placed him in the position, and who have employed him for the last three or four years. It is no more than justice that we should have a man to wind up the affairs of the bank who has no interest to protect for any one. but is competent to wind up the affairs of the bank honestly and impartially. without showing favor to any one, and if there is anything crooked or dishonest in the management of the bank we want a man at the head of the bank to show up any crookedness which may have been connected with the bank."

IRISH-AMERICAN CASH. Depositors Ask the Attorney General to Protect Them. Attorney General Childs yesterday received a large delegation of depositors in the suspended Irish-American bank, of Minneapolis, who were present to protest against the continuance of the assignment to Frank Hubachek. It seems that when the attention of the attorney general was called to the bank he decided to take steps at once for the appointment of a receiver, but when he reached the bank to make his inquiries the bankers defeated him by assigning immediately. The depositors who were at the capitol yesterday represented $51,500, and they brought with them a petition signed by representatives of over $60,000. They set up that the assignee, Hubachek, member of the firm of Rea, Hubachek & Healy, who, beside having been the attorneys for the bank, are also attorneys for the Penny Press, which has been the recipient of $17,000 or more of the moneys entrusted to the bank. This they thouht was suspicious, and they are also suspicious that the interests of the creditors would suffer by the continuance of the present assignee, who is thought to be too friendly to the officers of the bank, and would try harder to save the stockholders than the depositors. Yesterday's delegation included John Goodnow, who has been charged with aspiring to the receivership, or assigneeship, himself, but he disclaims this and says that he is in the movement merely to protect stock which he represents. Other members of the delegation were Aldermen Perry Long and Hugh Jennings, John Fleetham and C. W. Somerby. Mr. Childs assured the visitors that he would give the matter his immediate consideration. The state has an account of over $3,000 in the bank, and is a preferred creditor. Among those who have been suggested for assignee to succeed Mr. Hubachek, if removed, are John M. Reese and Walter N. Clarroll.

WILL NOT INTERVENE. State Will Stand by Decision in Hubachek's Case. Attorney General Childs decided not to intervene in the suit brought by the depositors to have Frank Hubachek removed as assignee of the Irish-American bank, of Minneapolis, and receiver substituted. He does not consider the claim made against Mr. Hubachek strong enough to warrant such action, especially while the matter is under consideration by the court.

# HUBACHEK GOES OUT SIX JUDGES DECIDE AS A UNIT IN THE IRISH-AMERICAN CASE. # JUDGE MAHONEY AS RECEIVER. DECISION AN IMPORTANT ONE AND ONE WHICH ESTABLISHES A PRECEDENT. # THE GRAND JURY GRIND ENDED. Final Report Will Be Made Today- General News of the Mill City. The depositors have prevailed, and Frank R. Hubackek is removed as as- signee of the Irish-American bank, and Judge Stephen Mahoney appointed in his stead, under bonds of $600,000. The six judges came together as a unit in the findings and the memor- andum, but there was considerable dis- cussion as to the proper man to act as receiver in his stead. The decision is intended to establish a precedent, and for that reason care was taken in drawing it up, and it voices the best judgment of one of the most thoughtful judges at the bar. The justice of the appeal of the depositors is all the more apparent when it is considered that Judge Belden has favored Mr. Hub- achek personally from his good work in the past, but felt that the law in the case must be enforced to the letter. The decision was filed late last night, The defense will take an appeal to the supreme court. The decision recites the facts in the case and makes the order as above. The main points in the memorandum were as follows: Although the evidence in this proceeding was not as full and complete as might have been desired, yet we think it shows reason- able grounds for presuming liability of the present board of directors for losses suffered by the bank. We do not purpose, nor is it necessary, to enter into a detailed discussion of this question. The evidence conclusively establishes certain facts, which, unexplained, very plainly indicate culpable fault in the management of this bank. The disposition of trustees of monied corporations to extend mutual accommodations to each other, at the expense of the owners and creditors of such corporations, seems to have been present in the management of this bank. It is a practice entirely too prevalent, and as pernicious as it is prevalent. From what is made entirely clear by this evidence, we have no doubt but that the conduct of the affairs of the bank by the directors should be carefully looked into, for the purpose of determining their liability for unfaithfulness to their trust, and, if we are correct in our understanding of the law, the duty of making this scrutiny rests upon the assignee. It is contended by counsel for the assignee that such duty does not devolve upon him. That the right to recover damages for loss resulting from negligence or fraud is not assignable. But the right to recover for dam- age to property, whether such damage results from wrongful taking and conversion, or from fraud and negligence, is assignable. In any event, we believe that the doctrine is well established that a receiver or assignee of an insolvent corporation may maintain such an action. Thompson's Commentaries on the Law of Corporations, section 4,121, 4,122, 4,126 and cases cited. Assuming the liability of the directors, or reasonable probability that such liability could be made out, and that the right to enforce the same passes to the assignee, is the rela- tion of the assignee to all or any of the direc- tors such as to legally disqualify him from fairly representing the creditors? Such a lia- bility is an asset, and may be a very valuable one to the creditors. The relation of the as- signee to the creditors is that of a trustee to his cestui que trust, and such relation re- quires the observance of the most scrupulous fidelity in all things pertaining to the execu- tion of the trust. Any personal interest in the subject matter of the trust adverse to that of the cestui que trust is deemed a dis- qualification. Any relation so close to a per- son whose interests are averse to those of the beneficiaries of the trust as would, or might tempt the trustee to depart from the strictest observance of his duties, is deemed a dis- qualification. This rule does not bend to any personal considerations.

# HUBACHEK REMOVED Jndge Mohoney Now Assignee Of the Irish-American Bank. The depositors have prevailed, and Frank R. Hubachek is removed as assignee of the Irish American bank and Judge Stephen Mahoney appointed in his stead, under bonds of $600,000. The six judges of the district court came together as a unit in the finding and the memorandum, but there was considerable discussion as to the proper man to act as receiver in his stead. There has been no less than 50 names proposed but after all was said, it was decided upon the suggestion of Judge Mahoney's name, that he was the man for the position. He had not been pushed for the place, and it was learned from an authoritative source in the afternoon that there was no antipathy to his appointment, even among a small faction of the creidtors. The decision is intended to establish a precedent, and for that reason care was taken in drawing it up, and it voices the best judgment of one of the most thoughtful judges at the bar. The justice of the apepal of the depositors is all the more apparent when it is considered that Judge Belden has favored Mr. Hubachek personally from his good work in the past, but felt that the law in the case must be enforced to the letter. The decision was filed Thursday evening.

# IN AND AROUND THE CITY Sheriff Megaarden has returned from Kansas City empty-handed. He had gone there to bring back Allyn J. Coon, who is under indictment here for an alleged manipulation of a gilt-edged investment deal with Dr. Frankyln Wright and others. Coon showed to the satisfaction of the Kansas City judge that the arrest was practically for debt, and the extradition papers were refused. Rev. Henry A. McGill, O. P., preached an eloquent and impressive sermon at Holy Rosary church last Sunday morning on the forgiveness of injuries inflicted by our enemies. "Unless you forgive those who injure you," said Fr. McGill, "your Heavenly Father will not forgive you." He kept the congregation in rapt attention during the delivery of his discourse. J. C. Scallen has been appointed by Mayor Gray as inspector of pawnshops. The case of Wm. H. Baxter vs. the officials of the suspended Irish-American Bank resulted in a verdict for the plaintiff after a trial which lasted two weeks. A motion for a new trial has been made by the defendants.

Michael Hanley, Engine company No. 1. Capt. J. R. Johnson has partly finished his pleasure barge, which he will put on Lake Minnetonka this summer. The barge is 20x70 feet in size and will have an eight foot deck. The structure will be well fitted up. There will be electric light, a piano and necessary accommodations. The floor will be of seasoned hardwood, and as it will be laid especially for dancing, it will undoubtedly be well patronized during the season. W. M. Regan has received a letter from Col. J. H. Page, Third infantry, acknowledging the receipt of 19 boxes of reading matter for the troops. The books have been loaded on the cars and sent East. Col. Page wishes to express the thanks of the men to the people of Minneapolis, and assures them that their great kindness is fully appreciated. He also says that the magazines will be turned over to the 13th Minn: at Manila. D. F. Brown, a young man employed at the Pillsbury milling company's warehouse, Seventeenth avenue and Seventh street southeast, had an almost miraculous escape from death last Tuesday. Brown was working on an upper floor of the warehouse when he stepped into a hole and fell 30 feet to the floor below. His fellow workmen saw him fall and rushed down to where he lay expecting to find him dead, but the young man sat up, and an examination showed that he was suffering from nothing more serious than a badly bruised leg and a strained back. He was removed to his home, 1712 Linden avenue north, and is recovering rapidly. Thomas West, an ex-policeman, has been appointed jailor at the Fifth precinct station by Mayor Gray; and Officer Bean, who has been acting as jailor at that station, has been ordered back to his beat. West is an old soldier. He resigned from the force during the Eustis administration. O. F. Whitney had his right shoulder dislocated Tuesday night in an accident which occurred on the Washington avenue bridge. Mr. Whitney was driving across in company with a friend. In trying to avoid a collision with a street car, the rig was turned sharply to the side, and Mr. Whitney was thrown out. The injury was dressed at the City hospital, after which the injured man went to his home, 876 Bedford street southeast. William Mackey, who was arrested by Inspectors Morrissey and Stavlo on a charge of vagrancy, was tried before Judge Kerr Tuesday morning. He proved to the satisfaction of the court that he was about to obtain employment, so the case was continued for one month, at the expiration of which he is to report what success he has met. Mrs. Matilda Stenstrom, a widow, 60 years old, was found dead in her apartments at 1106 East Eighteenth street, last Monday night. She had not been seen during the day by neighbors and they asked the police to investigate. The room was broken into and the body was found near the bed, watched by a pet dog. Coroner Nelson decided that death had been due to a bursted blood vessel. Mrs. Stenstrom's husband died about two years ago. A small amount of money was found in the room and several certificates of deposits in banks. The young ladies of Fr. Cleary's church gave a card social and served lunch Wednesday evening in the church parlors, Fourth street and Thirteenth avenue south. It was largely attended. J. S. Coughlin, the popular conductor on the Milwaukee road, has been seriously indisposed for the past month and under the care of a physician. He is slowly convalescing and left last Thursday for the hot springs at Baden-Baden, Ind. It is to be sincerely hoped that
