There need be no sur- prise because when the formal order was given the Wabazh railroad was not paralyzed.

As soon as the doors were opened, asteady stream of apxious depositors filed through the bavk, and about 1 o'clock, the crowd, soeing the bank everyone who applied, quietly began to disperse, and the run ceased. Some businers men made large deposits to show their confidence in the bank, and matters seemed progressing favorably for the bank, when about 2 o'clock, to the surprise of averyone, the Jbank's doors ed, and the following notice was posted: *‘This bank has susponded payment by order of the comptroller of currency, as per telogram: WASHINGTON, Avguet 20,—A, M.
