ST. Louis, May 15.-The situation here is
practically unchanged. Bankers and business
men generally have no apprehensjons for the
future. Much satisfaction is expressed at the
resumption of the Metropolitan Bank, and while
a little uneasiness was produced by the suspen
sion of Fisk & Hatch, and very slight furry
created by the temporary trouble at Kansas
City, still, the general opinion is that nothing
serious will result outside of New York Con
siderable attention is attracted, however, TO
Donnell Lawson & Simpson, and there is a con
siderable desire to know the condition of that
firm, and to know what its future action win
be- 1t has intimate relations with, and is
correspondent of nearly one hundred banks
in Missouri. some sixty in Kansas, thirty
or forty in Texas, and has numerous
connections in all the extreme Western States
and Territories. 1t is not known, of course, TO
what extent they are involved, but their indebt
edness to Western bankers may run into the
millions L. V. Stephens, of Bonneville, one of
the most prominent bankers il the interior of
this State, estimates that, in case of complete
failure of the firm, the loss to Missouri will be
fully half million. 1t is also feared the loss to
Texas bankers will be heavy.

A BADLY CRIPPLED FIRM.
Indications that DonneIl, Lawson & Simp-
son Are Seriously Involved.


New YORK, May 15-From the New York
Tribune of Friday: The statements of the mem
bers of the firm of Donnell, Lawson & Simpson,
on Wednesday, that their suspension was due
wholly to the suspension of the Metropolitan
National Bank, were not confirmed yesterday.
The Metropolitan having resumed, similar action
on the part of the banking firm was anxiously
awaited. Toward the close Of banking hours it
began to be whispered around that their failure
would be total. Bonds of the Cleveland, Youngs
town & Pittsburg railroad We're mentioned as a
matter in which they had been most
crippled This was a security over
which the Bank of the Republic directors
had difference about a month ago, which re
suited in president Fords resignation. The Bank

which Donnell, Lawson & Simpson did business,

formed there was no rational cause for it.
Fisk G. Hatch went to the wall during
the panic of 1873 but resumed shortly The
suspension was not announced until few min
utes before g. the closing hour of the Ex-
change but its effect was an instantaneous de
preston. A rush of operators was made to the
Office of the failed firm, and anxious inquiries
made by brokers as to how the firm stood. Fisk
was seen by an Associated Press reporter, but
he refused to say anything. The suspension
was so unexpected that its effect was more than
doubled and the street again became excited.
Brokers are rushing around wildly, and the
situation again assumes troubled aspect

The Railroads.

New England Railroad Fast Train
The SavIn Rock Branch.
Receiver Clark confirms the report that
the New York and New England will put on
a through fast train as soon as their double
track is completed, probably in about two
months. He would not bs surprised to see
the train eventually make the trip from New
York to Boston in five hours. The best time
by the line through this city is six hours,
aud Clark claims that his road is in as good
condition and is twenty miles shorter.
It begins to look as il the Consolidated
road would build the branch from the city
to Savin Rock this year. The central route is
the one selected, out of the three surveyed.
Tho road will be built for use by light pas
senger trains much like those in use on the
elevated railroads in New York city. The
use of the road for freight, or the continuing
Of the road to Milford as a freight road, is
not and never has been contemplated. The
route will be Short there will rarely be more
than one train on the road at one time; q
high rate of speed will not be run, SO
the crossing at grade cannot become
dangerous.
If the plans of the company are carried
out large increase of population in West
Haven must follow Immediately.
