BANK FAILURE.
An IndiApA Institution CLOSES Its DooFs-
Causes Of the Collapse,

SAubetutlne GollApao'
ISDIANAFoLIs, lSD,, Feb. /. RtzinRe,
Brothers bank, established in 1857, aud
which has done large business among
the Germans, did not open its doors this
morning, its proprletos, Frank L. and
Augustus W. Rliziuger, having made an
assignment TO George B. Yandea, The
papers were executed after midnight this
morning, While there had been some
talk affecting the standing Of the bank, 1t
was not generally discussed, but the fu.
mors had been whispered enough to affect
the bAnk'a customers, causing q falling of
in Its business TO such an extent as to ne.
Cessitats suspension OF business, The Ne.
nior partner, whom asked what caused the
assignment, tersely said the bank had
been talked to death, While there had
been no run on the bank, old CusLomers
had dropped off. On Saturday two OF the
other city banks extended assistance
which they considered ample without a
request for 1t on the part OF the embar.
rassel firm, but the partners, seeing the
turn aHalrs were apparently bouSd TO
take, concluded TO ask no further aid and
sucCumbsd to the inevitable,
As yet no statement OF assets and
liabilities has been made, and until the
schedule 10 complete, the partners refuse
TO talk further than to say that every
dollar will be paid. Ono OF The attorneys
says the assets will amount to between
$500, 900 and 100000, but much OF II Is in |
real estate, not easily convertible, He |
would express no opinion as 10 the llablli- |
yes, buGtney amount to greater sum, II |
is believed.
In banking circles 1t Is said that the
llItaInSers have lost 100000 within the
past nine months on whisky and $40 900
on stoves, which Is the melting Cause OF
the failure. Back OF thig, however, the
bank suffered In the paniU Of 1878, and
agatn In 1884, at both Of which times it
had TO Withstand heavy runs, but was able
then TO hold It's head above water, But
the continued hard times and losa OF
business It could not overcome. George
fandeg, the assignee, is the ex.preSident
1l the Citizens National Bank, which re-
Gently went into liquidation, and Is re.
IaTdOd as conservative fnanCler, in
whom the deposltos will have conf
lence.
The suspension naturally caused much
excitement and some feeling among de.
positors, and an angry crowd surrounded
,he hanks doors all morning. So Grthere
mas been no denomination, although
much bitter talk is heard. A run has 6e.
Jun on s A. Fletcher 4 Co.'s bank, but 1t
g hoped and believed they will be amply
lble to weather the storm. This bank is
'he Oldest in the city, and regarded as one
II the most substantial. No effect has yet
