BOSTON'S BROKEN BANK.
ResumJug O0Iy 30 be Wound UP.

Boston, May 22.-The Pacific National
Bank, which suspended some months ago
and resumed but few weeks since, stopped
payment to-day and will wind up business.
1t Is said that the directors have voted to go
into liquidation, and have applied for re-
ceiver. The suspension Is considered due
to lack of business since resumption, public
confidence not having been great enough to
warrant any large dealings with the con-
cern.
The immediate cause of the suspension
of the bank was the maturing of $500. 900 OF
paper on Saturday, which the bank was un-
able to pay aud which went to protest. II
is understood that all the depositors will be
paid in full, but the original stockholders
will have their investment Of 100000
wiped out.

ment, has been appointed receiver Of the
