other, were surrounded, and far into the streots crowds gathered. until the police were called to clear the way for trafie. At 10 the Union National posted a notico that it woula not open its doors. Thiis started the panic and following quickly the Commercial National posted a similar notico. Then the National Bank of Com- orce did the same. A run was immediately started on all the other banks, though to no roat extont upon the Peoples National 'ho First National appears to be in good condition, having over 60 per cent of its de. posits on hand, with a private fund of $1,500 000 in addition to draw upon, making it im- ssible to ciose its doors. The Colorado National and several others are equally good. The nob withdrawing their monoey are all small depositors, he banks are paying ali demands except on time certificates, demanding that these remain untii tho expiration of their time. President J. A. Thatcher of the clearing house says: “1 am confident today will the worst of this and the veople will o their senses. At a meeting of the clea house last night wo decided wo could not help the banks and 8o some of them have gone to the wall. All of them, 1 neliove, have ample security to protect all depositors, but unfortuately at this time the cash und not sccurity is what the majority of the people are clamoring for.” : At the State National hank quite a run is in progress. The officors appear in the best of humor and say they arc confident they can weather the storm. Up to noon everything was quiet at tho Colorado National. It is understood $500,000 in gold was_ recoived there just before tho doors opened this morning Quito n crowd of people are about the doors of the Denver National. It wa rumored there was a run in_progress there, but it was soon found the men were Union Pacific employes sumply getting their checks cashed for last months work. This bank closed by order of the board of directors,” is the notice posted at every entrance 1o the National Bank of Com- merce. The officers inside refuse admission to outsiders The conditions of the bank is not knowa, as it did not print statemen yestorday as was dono by aimost ull the other banks. At the City National, John P. Hanna of the City National said they were in as zood condition as anybody. Hanna hopes to bo able to continue enough of the deposits to tide over the bank. Several of the princi depositors made large deposits this morning. Some who owe the bank in the shape of no! but have cash deposited, had paymont refused on checks, The liabilities subject to check are $580,808, Of this the ofticials control nearly two- thirds. 8o that the cash on_hand, amounting to 333,338 "will meet the demands of small depositors. Tne Union Natlonal closed its doors this morning, and stice was posted explaining that tho bank had paid out $100,000 to de positors in the last fow weoks and had realized on securities a8 rapidly as possible, but not fast enough. It has $1,600,000 in securities and owes approximately £00,000. It is thought it will be able to realize on secur- ities, when all depositors will be paid in full. It expects to open again, The liabilities of the Goods company are §250,000 and the assets unknown. ‘Tho failure was caused by an at- tachment by the Union National bank for £71,780 and the Colorado National for 0,847, The president of the lutter bank had a pri- vate claim of 825,000, and Dennis Sheedy, an oftfcer in the Denver National, for $40,000. The Union bank's resources consist of: Toans and discounts, $1,622,680; United States bouds to_secure circulation, $150,000; cash and cxchange, $147,508; overdrafts, K12,078; deposits, $583,558; due from other ional banks, $£14,008; due from state nks, $20,800; paper outstanding, $170.000. President Woodbury thinks the bank wiil reopen, ‘I'he Commercial National closed its doors when it became evident from the size of the crowd outside that a run would be inaugur- ated, and the following notice was poste “Closed for liquidation, by order of the board of dircctors.” Tt has capital stock of £250,000 and only £2,000 cash on hand. At the American National small depos- itors. who are not numerous, madea run. The bank has $1,000,000 capital, and deals Jurgely with men who handle big sums. Excitement Dying Down. The oxcitement and demand upon the ‘banks for money continued unabated until about 2 o'clock, when it had almost entirely subsided at all the banks except the State National and the rman National, where the line of depositors seemed to increase in- stoad of diminishing. This bank is under- stood to have a special train on the way from Kansas City bearing $400,000, and that it will _reach here early tomorrow morning. The First National bank received $170,000 at a little after 1 o'clock today and $250,000 at the closing hour. This came from New York. It was money due President Moffatt for bullion he had sold Just bofore the close the failure of the Mercantile Suvings with a capital of $100,000 ‘was announced. Its assots are sufficient to pay all liabilities in time. At 3 o'clock, the closing hour, there were hardly half a dozen people in any of the institutions except the above. D. H. Moffatt, president of the First Na- tional bank, said the deposits at his house during the day had greatly excoeded the withdrawals. This bank has always been most conservatively mavaged and is almost exclusively owned by Mr. Moffatt. The general opinion among the bankers and business men 1s that the panic is over and that no more banks will be obliged to close, although the run in a mild way may continuo against two or three banks for a day or two. It 18 believed by financiers that tods run_will resultin the people having more confldence in the strong bauks and that the money withdrawn today will at once be redeposited and a better fecling pe estab- lished in financial circles, which™ will make monoy casier. The suspended banks expect to resume business in a short time. Had Been a Constant Drain, The constant drain on the banks by scared depositors has brought about a crisis, 1t is stated by bankers that no less than 35,000, 000 has peen drawn from the banks during tho last throo months. Of this, $3,000,000 bas gone to the east in the regular lines of Dbusiness, but there is £,000.00 hoarded in tho city. The safety deposit vaults ave full and thero is reason to suppose that the homes of workingmen contain secret places in which their savings are hidden, If one- fifth of that amount was let into eirculation the stringency w Denver woulid cease. Hyman & Co,, proprietors of the Bee Hive store, McWhirter & Dipps, dealers in man. tels and tiles, and Englo & Harris, dry goods, have just assigned. No statement, but tho amount will probably not bo large. Other Falluzes. Following the failure of the big McNamara ary goods house this morning several other mercantile failures were quickly anuounced. They were the John Mouat Lumber com- R on an attachment from the German 1 bank for $155,200. Albert Nelson, restaarant and saloon, went down with the National Bank of Commerce. His assots aro placed at $111,610, with liabilitios at §06,725, 1. 8. Noah.' installment furniture house; assets, $40,000; liabilities, $16.000. Three other firms with liabilities of $20,000 caeh ‘were announced this afternoon. They were all caused by the bank panic of today. Late this afternocon two more savings banks assigned. The first one was the North Denver Savings bank, it being fol- lowed by the vrivate bank of Stephens & Hanchett, known us the Capital Savings bank., No schedule of assots or liabilitios have been filed, but their doposits are not thought to have been heavy, EXPORTS AND INFORTS OF SPECIE. me to ring MeNamara Dry Some Very Interesting Figures from the Bureau of Statistie Wasnixg1on, July 18.—The chief of the bureau of statistics, in his statement of the exports ard imports of gold and silver, re- ports that the exports of gold from the United Stutes during the twelve months ended June 50, 1803, amounted Lo $108,680,844 and the imports to §21,174,881; oxcess of ex- ports, $57,500,463. During the corresponding period of the preceding year the exports were 860,195,527 and the imports 49,0690, excess of exports, $105,678, The exports of “silver during the twelve months ended June 30, 1803, were $40,757,319 and the imports $23,105,22; excoss of ex- ports, $15.544,067. During the corresponding veriod of the preceding year the exports wero §52,810,600 and lnports §19,055,000; ex- cess of exports, §12,855,474, During the six months ended Juno 80 the exports of goid amovnted to $74,717,938, an Ancrease of $32,148,788 over the corresponding period of the proceding year, Tho imports were $11 043, an increase of §3,723 435, CASH IN OMAHA BANKS, Double the Amount Required by Law s Weld In Reserve. The most noticoable foaturo of the s ments of the national banks of Omaha and South Omaha, just published, is the large increase in the proportion of cash means to deposits. The banks, in other words, have more cash on hand in proporion to the de- posits with which to meet the demands of depositors than they aid at the time of the last statement. On May 4, the timo when the last statement was made, the banks of the two cities had about 41 per cont of their deposits in cash means. Since that time there has been | a gain in this respect untit now the cash | moans are much larger in_proportion to tho | deposits. The national bauking law requires banks in reserve cities, like Omaha, to have | 25 per cent of cash meuans and other cities 15 cont. Tho Omaha bankers foresaw the coming of a money stringency, and com- menced to propare for it in time by increas- ing thoir cash means until they now have double the amount required by law. While the percentage of the cash means of the banks has been increased the deposits have naturally enough decreased. owing to | the scar¢ity of money. A caroful examina- tion of the statementis will bring out an in- terosting fact in conmection with the de- crease in the deposits. All of the bauks carry more or less deposits of country banks, and as the country banks have needed the money at home they have reduced their de- | posits in the Omaha banks. This causes quite a decrease in the total deposits in the Omaha national banks, and the decrease is due almost entirely to this ono cause. Individual deposits have fallen off very hittle; in fact, one bank shows a gain in this particular. This is considered quite re- markablo, as it was generally supposed that the dullncss of trade and slow collections would force business men to reduce their surplus in the banks to a large extent. That they have not dono so to a much greater ex- tent than shown by the bank statements would seem to fnaicate that business is not in such bad shape after ail, Another feature of the bank sta the reduction in loans and discounts. In order to provide for an emer- gency, the banks have been cutting down their loans and discounts and in this way increasing tho amount of cash on hand, which would be available 1n case of a sudden demand. While this has been rather hard on borrowers, it has enabled the banks of Omaha to make & most satisfactory showing, and one that businoss men say wiil £0 a long way toward mcreasing public confi- dence in their stability. A banker said yes- terday that it was an” agreeable surprise to note ‘the ease with which borrowers are liquidating their obligations, tements is EX-COMPTROLLER LACY TALKS, Mo Thinks the Worst of tho Flurry 18 Over, Croago, July 18.—Ex-Comptroller Lacy, president of the Natio: Banking associa- tion, said today: ‘‘Aside from the recent bank failures in Kansas City and Denver and their effect upon the region tributary to these citics, the country scems to be recov- ering from the recent severe stringency which has prevailed for the past three months. It is probable that the disturb- ances at Denver are the outgrowth of the recent silver agitation and the consequent depression in related industries. Want of confidenco, rosulting from an unusual num-* ber of failures, has been the chief cause of tho recent disasters which the public press has been called upon to record. It is well to remember, however, that the number of bank failures alluded to has borne a very small proportion to the total number of insti- tutions doing business in the United Stat. Here and there unsound institutions have developed and failures have resulted, but the great body of the banks of this country possess an abundance of sound assets and will be found amply able to meet all calls made on them, Depositors in banks who are so unwise as to make demands for funds which they do Dot need simply aggravate the existing conditions . and unnecessarily embarrass the industries, upon wh all alike are devendent for livelihood. An epidemic of distrust has overrun nearly the entire country and these later cases are simply the last outbreak which precedes the re- turn of heaithful conditions. It is fortu- e that the demonstration at Kansas City has been delayed until the rvests under way, as the marketing of the 80 crops of the Mississippi valley will speedily replenish the drain upon the banks by this senscless scare, and we shall soon seo those in the interior strengthened by the payuient of maturing paper. **As these local instivutions replenish their cash, it will overflow into the reserve cities and so the whole banking system will be re- stored, and the normal condition of strength and bank accommodations to those engaged in legitimate entervrises will again exert a healthy stimulus. *“The meeting of congress is near at hand and there seems to be no reasonable doubt of the speedy repeal of the silver purchasing clause of the Sherman act. The importa- tion of gold has already set in and will un- doubtedly increase as the offect of the ady large exportation of cereals pro- duces its legitimate results. York banks have commenced ring house certificates and are able 0 meet the of legitimato business panicky condition of the stock market need not necessarily excite dis- trust. The banks are daily gaining in deposits and cash reserve, and this is also true of most of the reserve centers in the interior. The recuperative pow- ers of the country are now actively employed and in all probability will, in the near future, restore normal conditions. What is necded is the exercise of care and sound judgment upon the part of every lead- ing citizen in the land. Failures will in- evitably occur, even though we speedily realize our highest cxpectutions i the way of renewed contidence.” Financlal rotiving cle: abundantly demands and the NEBRASKA FIRW FAILS, M.

DAILY BEJR ESDAY, CULLINGHAM THE CHAMPIO [ — His Uool Play Wits Him First Place in the Tennis for Singles DENISE WAS BRALIANT BUT UNSTEADY He Opened the Evening hy Winning a Love Set, but Fell Thryugh Overconfidence ~Foshenner antl Lawre Bent Haskoll and Bowman, Nearly as large a crowd gathered on the Omaha Tounis club ground last ovening as on Monday. Those who saw the start in the final of the singles werd there again to sce the finish, and the chairs along the wost side of the court were again all but filled. Cullingham aud Denise entered the court soon after 0:45, the timo that had been agreed upon, From the very outset it was evidont that each man meant business. Deniso had the service and following his first ball up to the net volleved the roturn. and after & long rally finally won the point. This was a good start and he wisoly stuck to the same kind of play to the end of the sot. Cullingham wa kept on tho defensive all the time. Oc- casionally he had a chance to get past Denise on one sido or the other, and oceasion- ally Deniso would make a false play; his racket would turn in his hand and tho ball fall into the net or in attempting to return a lob, ana Cullingham sent him plenty, he would drive it overthe side line or out at the back. But Cullingham never captured a game, though in the second he scored no fewer than nine points. Some Very Pretty Tennls. As the score gradually grew in Denise's favor, the lookers-on became more and more engrossed in the play and toward the end of the set his every point wus cheered. The climax came when he had taken six games running and scored a love set. This put him one game ahead of his older and more ex- perienced ovponent, and there seemed no reason why he should not pull off the match. He had le a grand effort, never falling off for an instant in his assiduity to return, and :"i;!.urn with interest, every ball that came to m, The closeness of the score put every one on the tiptoe of oxcitement as the fifth sot commenced. Denise started with a well Jadged ser skimming nicely over the net, and ran up after it. He scored the first point, as before, but Cullingham was now on bis mettle and gave him fewer opportunities. “Two-love, Cullingham leads,” was soon called, and Culingham seemed to be winning. But Denise made & spurt and caught up. Then Denise lost his service and lost the mext game, when his score was 30, on a disputed ball. Four games to two was a good lead, but Denise was not beaten yet. He made an oxceilont fight for the seventh game and won it, but failed ata crucial pomt in the eighth. The ‘vantage was against him when he ended a beautiful rally by dropping the ball short intothe net. One game was all that Cullingham now wanted to win. Denise had the service and with a little more cooluess might have saved himself from defeat. But nerve is not always on tap when most in reqdisition and Cullingham 80t to 40-0 and ran out to 40-15, It had been a hatd fought game, and there was little to choose between the men. Denise's defeat wils due as much to his own failure at crucial points in the game as to his opponent’s superior skill. But Culling- ham had & majority of two games on the match and, even without his hundicap which counted one pointin each of the forty-two games played, he probably had a majority of points. Pretty Play in the Doubles. Fosbenner and Tatwrence came out on tho right side in theiricontest with Bowman and Haskell. This game was not much watched, for it was played when the more exciting’ singles ‘mateh was going on in the other ‘court.’ Still therc was some pretty play ‘here. Fosbenner on his side. and Bowman on the other stuck close to the net,. except when serving, and there was consequently some very quick volleying. The winners won as much by quickness and diligence as anything. Their score was -1, 57, 6-2, Just before this game was over Denise and ‘Wilbur made a bola start against McKell and Brown in the court in which Culling- ham had just won the first prize in the siugles. Deniso seemed none the worse for his hara work and was anxious for the fray. He and Wilbur had taken one set in easy style, at the score of six games to one, when it was agreed to put off the finish until tonight, when it is hoped thut the tinal will also be played.

The } CITY COUNCIL PROCEEDINGS Safety of Viaduots Will Be at Oaco Thor- ong.ly Investigated. NOVEL INTERLUDE IN THE SESSION “Cyelone” Collier, Chicago Lawyer, Makos u Cicaronian Address on tho Depot Question-Barbers Ask for Sunday Closing, the Famous The monotony of the city council proceod- ings was broken last night by tho appear- ank H. Collier, who says ho came in from Chicago in his special car “Just to give the council a few pointers and perhaps solve the union depot problem.” Mr. Col- lier is a heavy-weight “eccentric” disciplo o Blackstone and hails from the Windy City Ho introduces himself by giving out tho in- formation thathe was the fellow who was hit i a political melee four yoars ago, and asa result ho has been locked up in divers and nutaerous insano hospitals, but ho al- ways succoeded in “habeas corpusing” him- self out. He carries with him lotters from Mayor Harrisou and all of the prominent ofticials of the city of Chicago. In aadition 1o claiming to bo tho original composer of “Ta-ra-boom-do-ay,” he pro- claims that ho 13 tho attorney of sixteen different railway companies, throe elovator companies, besides being worth in his own right $700,000. He is on a ploasure trip to the Rockies, and8t has boen five years since he tasted of Omaha hospitality. He takes to city oficials like a duck t0 aqua pura, and atone time swas a member of the Chicago Board of Kducation. Ho dropped in on Mayor Bemis yesterday after- noon and volunteered to tell how to get a union dopot. As soon as heascertained that the council would meet Inst_evening he an- nounced his intention of being present and administering sound advice to the city dads, He was on hand early and pre-empted Coun- cilman Howell's chair. Ho wearied through the proceedings, and wheu they grew par- ticularly tiresome he would fir t in the land of nod. When the council had com- ploted its business Councilman Prince intro- duced the Chicago man. Cicero Was Not In It, Mr. Collier is a big_man physicaily and when he turned loose his vocabulary of flat- tering adjectives it was to be seen that they woro as vast as his avoirdupois. Ho compli- mented the council, the city of Omaha ani its people and he was very eloquent about it all. Then ho turned himself to_the union depot. He said: “What you have down there is the rottenest acpot and is a dis to the city and the common coun You sit here and permit the railway companies to lord it over you. Why not have a seven- story structure that will be a magnificent structure! 1t is easily done. T'll tell you how to bring about the results that will you the handsomest depot west of Chica But_you must not inform the Q that I have given you the tip. as Iam the attorney for that road and would be fired in a minute. It will take two ordinances to bring about the result. Ilirst an orainance declar- nd after the 1st of August, 1503, no wooden structures of any kind or descriy tion will bo permitted alongside or within the right of way of any railway company in this city. The result will be that down will como the frame shantices that are an cyesor to younll. Then pass auother ordinance de claring that on ana after the 15th day o June, 1804, all tracks in the city shall b elevated o ten feet above terra fii a. Thi: s a second Chicago and our supreme court has held that such laws are good. ‘I'hen vou will have the_silk-tiled_presidents of the companies coming to Omaha and protesting. Mr. Colher then described how the vres! dents would act and the tales of woo they would have to He said meet them with the reply that a depot is wanted and a depot must be secured. By persistency in this w be secured and it would be a happy day for the Gate City. I'he councilmen cujoyed the talk very much and were very libéral with applause. Vinduct Question. The council transacted considerablo busi- nessof an_important nature. It wrestled with the viaduct question. The committee on judiciary submittod its report recom- mending that Engineer Rosews select u competent engineer, and they, in conjune- tion, with the engincers of the Buriington and Union Pacific, to examine the Eleventh’ and Sixteenth street viaducts as to their condition aud report to the couneil. A reso- lution to this effect accompanied the report. Mr. Munro suid the purpose of the resolu- tion was to bring about delay. The eity engineer had pronounced the leventh street viaduet unsafe and it had been fenced up fora year. The city ey had the city can compel the compinies to roj or reconstruct viaducts, He thought it time to do something and ¢ e dilly-dallying. Mr. Wheeler . Mr. I all said the venth and Sixteenth streot viaducts o constructed under 4 cont with the companics previous to the time the charter gave authority to compel the companies to construct viaducts, Mr. fHascall said tho sireet railway haa been permitted under contract Lo ¢ the viaduets by paying annuully o nomin sum, and to pay the cost of repairs. Th question to be considered, he thought, was whother it was not best 1o delay until spring the contemplated reconstruction of the Sixteenth street viaduct, when the strect railwiy contract expires, and it can be com- pelled to do its part. A this juncture the committee on viaducts and railways offered its report rogarding Ernest Stuht's protest against thecontinued closing of the Elevonth strect viaduct. The committee recammended that the city en- gineer prepare plans for repaving of ‘said vinduct and that the work be done us quickly as possible. Also that the city attorney be instructed to recover by suit the cost of the work from such parties as ho considers safo: City Attorney Connell said Mr. Hascall had stated the facts and he believed the proposed course should be pursued. Mr. Munro wanted the report of the com- mittee on viaducts and railways adopted and made a motion to thut effect, Mr. Prince felt that the questions involy were dissimilar as rezards the viaduc the safety of the Sixtcenth streot vy dia not enter into the same, The motion to adopt the report was defeated. Mr. Counell in_reply to questions said he thought the oxisting contract would not f- tect the proposition to reconstruct the Six- teenth stroet viad| He understood that the railway companics would raise no objec tion when iL was shown that tho viaauct is unsafe. Before any repairs could be orderod made the engineers should determine what is necessary and then the question of caus. ing the repairs wo be made could be decided. Ciy; Bugineer Rosewater stated that ne had ihade in abstract of necessary repairs on the Eleventh street viaduct, and ho ox- plained what is necessary The resolution of the judiciary committee was adopted after Mr. Fdwards had shut off discussion by moving the previous question. City Engincer Rosewater reported that the approximate cost of needed repairs on the Tenth streot viaduct work embraced substantially two featy the encasing of fooling stones under fifty: three pedestals in cement mWortar to prevent disintegration, which will take place rapidly unless promptly attended to. Also tho re painting of the iron work to protect the metal from the effects of moisture. The engineer also submitted o blue print of a section of the Eleventh streot viaduct, showing the repairs needed. His approxi- mate estimate of the cost is $13,540, e Balloon this eve. v TELEGRAPHIC BRIERS, Domestle, The Navy departmont has formally accopted the crulser Detrolt. uth which extended ovor an arca of 40,000 square wiles in western Toxas was yosterday by good ralus.
