4 | { Seares 63 e ANOTHER BROKEN BANK. The Pacific National Bank of Bos- ton Suspends Payment, The Run of the Bank Stood for Awhile But It Finally Succumbs. A Large Operator Allowed to Overdraw His Account and Does Not Come to Time. The Officers of the Bank of Couree Say the Suspension is Opnly Temporary. But the Depositors Would Feol More Securs if They Had Their Money Out of It. The Pacific National Suspends. National Associated Vross. Bostox, vember 19.—The Pa- cific National bank has suspended. The bank has ¥ upposed for some time to be very weak. It was not a member of the clearing house, but did all its clearings through the Elliott National bank, The latter institution this morning declined to clear for the Pacific and threw its checks out, At noon the Pacific was compelled tosus- pend, The first trouble with the Pa- cific bank seems to have originated yes- terday, when the Merchants National bank received a check of $2,300 drawn upon the Pacitic National. The check was immediately taken to the Elliott National, where the Pacific bank had its deposits. The cashier informed them that they had no funds to meet it. They refused payment. He stated that the check would be paid before 2 o'clock. It was presented again about 1 o'clock and was then paid. This mor soveral checks drawn upon the Pacific bank were presented at the Elliott bank and were all_refused payment, the same excuso being given that there were no funds in the bank. The cashier again said it would be paid later in the day before the close of banking hours, but upon being pre- sented again were refused payment, as no money had been deposited to meet them. Among them are several checks of large amounts, one being for 82,600 and another for £3,300. Soon after the opening of the bank this morning an attachment in the sum of $4,000 was placed on the fundsin the Pacific bank by the banking firm ot Prescott & Hersey. They also trusted the Elliott bank for the same. As the news of the reported failure gained strength a large crowd surrounded the bank, blocking the street and occupy- ing the steps leading to the entrance and completely filling the rooms. A slight run was commenced on the bank at about 12:35 p. m. and checks in small sums ranging from §2,000 to £3,000 paid until 1 p. m, when the sus- pension took place, During this time one gentleman made adeposit with thereceiving teller of checks amounting to §1,600 saying, as he did 8o, that he believed the bank was solvent, snd hoped by this to assist in the run then oceurring. Other small deposites, aggregating in all perhaps $1,000 more, were also reported, and one of the directors of the suspended bank in conversation this evening, said that the cause of the temporary trouble was that a large operator had been allowed to overdraw his account to a large amount, This pushed the ex- haustion of the cash on hand, but still the necessity for the suspension was a surprise. Completed arrangements had been made whereby funds wero to be in readiness to meet the checks of the depositors, but these arrange- ments failed to be carried out promptly enough this morning, and the result that what would have been a suspension for an hour or two was noised about until a run was inaugu- rated which the bank was unable to meet. No doepositor could lose his money, and there was no doubt but that the bank would resume business immediately. The only damage would be whatever loss of confidence would result. It was stated by an at tachee ot the bank that the prime reason of to-day's difliculty was that Adore C. Weeks had farled to certain sureties which he was to depost with the bank as collateral for loans previously obtained. Itis reported on the street that the friends of the bank believe that with the financial exhibit and surplusas made ovident at the time of the last ofticial examination everything is safe and sound, Accord- ing to rumor the bank hassucceeded in borrowing money suficient to tide over the present ombarrassment weich is rogarded wholly temporary in char- acter and it is belioved that busiucss will be resumed in a short time, Bosron, November 20.—The Cen- tral bavk has suspended the payment of checks temporarily in order to give the bank examiuer an opportunity to examine the accounts. There is no suspicion on his part of anything wrong, but the measure is sinply a precutionary one. It was hinted on the streets and in Washington dispatehes yesterday that the Central N (11e hare dhubble paper which had passed l]’m»uuh the Pacific bank, and Jast evening some of the brokers predicted trouble at the Cen- tral to-day. The more conservative financiers did not share this lack of confldence, however. The directors, however, resolved to be prepared for any emergency and opened this morn- ing with over £500,000 in ready cash to meet all demands. The run began as soon as the doors were open and by 11 o'clock the bank was crowded with depositors. These were all ac commodated as fast as they could be attended to without question or com- ment. ‘The bank examiner, however, thought hest tosuspend the operations of this bank for the moment until a full opportunity for consulta tion in regard to the re sources of the DBoston bauks, and shortly after 11 o'clock puyment was stopped, Bankers and directors are in oonsultation, and it has beon resolved to do all that is necessary to meet 110 emergency. In the mean- time additional funds are being stored in the vaults of the Central bank in preparations for prompt payments as soon as the examiner gives Lis consent. Fd. Williams Lynched. National Associnted Prems. St. Pavy, November 20, <A dis- hatch to The St. Paul Globe from El\ll'nn-\, Wis., gives the particulars of the Iynching of Ed, Williams, one of the murderers of the Coleman brothers about a month ago, He was caught in Hall county, Neb., last Ssturday after a desperate struggle and conveyed to Durand, where he arrived Friday., He was arraigned in court Saturday pleaded not guilty ¢ the chargo of | murder. The oourt room was crowded | ana soveral hundred men were outside. { Ho had scarcely entered his plea and asked for time to procure witnesses | when a noose was thrown over his neck, those inside the court room | shoved him to a window while th outside pulled the rope and he dragged some forty rods 1o a tre «d until he was dead. asn, Wis,, N | notorious outlaw, Ed Williams, Maxwell, was lynched Saturday ternoon for preliminary examination. He ad- | dressed the court, saying he was one | of the men who killed Sheriff Cole- mai, but it was done in self-defeuse He had searcely ceased speaking when a rope was thrown over his head and the noose drawn tight around his nock. Ho struggled desperately to cast] off the rope but in vain. The end of the rope was thrown out of the window, and the crowd be low seized it and jerked Williams out through a window, he falling headlong on the ground. In a very few minutes the rope was thrown over the limb of a tree, and he was hung until dead. At 2:30 the body was still dangling from the tree. It seems that the affaiv was woll planned. The crowd in the court was large, but very quiet, and all seemed to undorstand what was to occur. As soon as the rope was thrown over Williams, neck tho crowd hustled the officers into an- other part of the room, and detained them while the neat job was quietly proceeding in the court yard below. Soon after the man was dead the crowd dispersed quietly, and the villago assumed the usual peaceful as- pect. CONDENSED LIGHTNING.

FIFTY MILES AWAY. |The Metropolis of the Boyer | Valley and County Seat ; of Harrison, |“At Home" With the Prosper- ous and Hospitable People of Dunlap, Towa. Correspandence of ik Ten Duxiar, Towa, November 18- | About fifty miles from Omaha, on the Chicago & Northwestern railroad, is | found a flourishing town, which is by ding point between Carrol and ncil Blufls, and is made up of 1,600 people. Tt is lo- cated in the eastern part of Harrison | county, some fifteen miles east of Lo- gan, the county seat,and is known ‘M many miles as DUNLAP | | Mr C. D Mitchell grazed a flock of | [sheep on the Jand now oceupied by by the town in the suwmer of 1866 The railroad commenced running from Chicago to Missouri Valley, through Dunlap, the next year, and the town was organized, and Mr. R. B, Hiilas opened the first stock of goods in a little rough board shanty on the same lot his fine double store now stands. He has salesmen em- ployed to attend to his trade. Mesara. Mitchell & Thompson were the next to open a stock of goods, and to-day aro found within one of the nicest storo buildings one usually sees, They have kept pace with the growth of the town and are among the strongest competitors, Mr. M. Barrett is another of the brilliant land marks who is still exert- ing himself as much as ever to push anything that will tend to forward the prosperity ot Dunlap. Mr. B. has the credit of building the first brick build- ing in town, and his increasing busi- ness required an addition which he built this season, making the whole building 25x100 fect, two stories high. THE STREETS are laid out very nicely and are all 100 feet wide. This feature alone makes the place look attractive and relieves the city trom that narrow- contracted, pinched-up appearance, usually found in too many hamlets and cities. The town site is elevated and rolling, making a variety of loca- seven tions, ealculated to suit the many no- tions of the people. In walking up the main street T noticed warked improvements over the neighboring towns (that scem to bo cquully ss well located), which is conclusive evidence that the people men who possess the nerve and o ergy requisite to make things move in the right direction, There are a a dozen or more fine brick stores on cither side of the street, with many frame ones, all well filled with a stock of goods raroly excelled by a country trading point. IMPROVEMEN son some forty-seven dwellings, some ot them very ornamental, indeed. six brick stores and & new Methodist church is now building at a cost of $3,000. Also a larze two-story brick blacksmith shop filling out a promi- nent corner. Now sidewalks, orna- mental shade and fruit trees are put yout, grounds gra tamo grasses, nice door-yard foncos are put up, making the genoral ap- pearanco of prosperity and comfort. Tho people are very social andfriendly and are all tr to make every feature of their town equal to the demands, 8o their rural friends will not be obliged to go else where for the necessities or luxures of lifo, The finest and largest public school in the county oceupies a wholo block, and is the pride of the parent and the joy of the child, The attendaneo in summer is so larzo that the old build- ing is still used for one or two of the young A ( PARK has been laid out and planted with trecs, and will soon be one of the future attractions of Dunlap, A driving park and fair grounds ave located the outskirts, and no little attention 1s given this depart- ment, Mr. M. Barrett informs me that he has astud of noted Bashaw horses that promise something more than ordinary spoed. The breeding and raising of thorough-bred stock in all it branches is fast being agitated in western Towa, and Harrison county is keeping paco with the public as was shown at the exhibition at the fairs last fall. The railroad company have laid out a garden opposite their commodious eating house, and planted it with flow ers and ornamental trees, and fitted it up with & nice fountain and gravel walks, which makes the weary trav- eler feel a sensation of admiration and love for Dunlap, THE BOYER RIVER VALLEY is a fertile one, and extends for many miles, The whole area of country tributary to Dunlap is vanked among the best. The crops areas good as found elsewliere for this season, and the oldest inhabitang informed me that they never knew of a failure The amount of produce bought her estimated in excess of any place in the county, which fact is apparent from the exchange in the banking business done here.
