Run,


Run.
MINNEAPOLIS, April 28.-The Commercial
bank, of ST. Paul, has closed its doors, as
result of run caused IN part by the recent
failure of the st. Paul German Fire Insur-
ance company. The leading man in the in

found Insurance Commissioner Mcbride,
Of Kansas is in the city, and In company
with Insurance Commissioner Smith, of
Minnesota, called on the St. Paul German
Accident Insurance company with view to
further inquiring into the affairs of that
concern. 1t is now reported that the affairs
OF the accident insurance company, which
are under the same management as the Ger
man Fire Insurance company, are In bad
shape.
Mr.. Middleton, one of the bank directors,
stated to the United Press reporter that all
depositors of the bank would be paid in full,
and none except the stockholders would lose
a cent. He said that the suspension was
caused by rumor set in circulation in the
country TO the effect that the failure OF the
German Fire Insurance company would
have serious effect upon the Commercial
bank. This rumor reached the city and
caused a run which necesstated the sus-
pension. State Bank Examiner Kenyon
states that the bank was found 10 be in

GIGANTIC ELECTRIC TRUST.
Its Name VIII BE THE General Electric
Company"

Its Name VIII De The General Electric
Company"
New YORK, April 2S.-The Herald says:
"One of the greatest trusts ever formed in
this country will be ready for business
within a month. The combination com
prises the Edison General Electric company,
the Thomson Houston Electric company and
the Thomson-Houston International COM
pany, and is called the General Electric
company.
"When those back of the scheme first
made application to the legislature, The
Herald, on Mach rs, pointed out exclusively
the audacity of their demands. In spite of
the exposure, however, the bill found sup
porters and was passed by both houses A
little over week ago it was signed by the
governor.
1.-The capital of the trust is $50 00O, 900,
and its power will be tremendous. Its
projectors when asking for a charter OBJ
jected to the tax imposed by law in this
state and desired a special rate.
"The accommodating legislature readily
acquiesced and reduced the tax on its cap
ital stock to one-tweltth of per cent. The
new company will have offices in this city
in the Edison building, in Broad street. Mr..
II. Mex. Twombly or Mr.. c. A. Coffin, of
Boston, general manager of the Thomson
Houston company, will be elected president
Of the General Electric company.
"Mr. .. Pierpont Morgan, of Drexel, Nor
gan Co., conducted nearly all of the nego-
tiations which conducted the deal to a sue
cessful issue. Mr. II. Nick Twombly, who
represented the Vanderbilt interests, work
ed with Mr.. Morgan. In Philadelphia the
Edison company will move into the head
quarters of the Thomson Houston com pany
iii Arch street. In Washington the Edison
quarters will be used"

the Sherman managers that they have cap.
tured seventeen out of twenty-one mem.
bcrs of the central committee. The Foraker

PITTsBURa, April 2S.-The sixth annual
banquet OF the Americus club at the Mon
ongahela House last night celebrating the
birthday Of General Grant, brought together
many famous Republicans,
Governor Mckinley, Of Ohio, responded
to the toast Grant, Greater with the Grow
ing Years" In a brief but beautifully
worded eulogy Mr.. Mckinley said that
Grants place is secure in the remembrance
OF a nation not given to hero worship. Hon.
John NJ Thurston spoke of 1.-The Republican
Purity" Hon. John Dalzell spoke of Penn
sylvania, Virtue, Liberty and Independence"
Hon w. A. Stone talked in an interesting
manner about 1.-THE New Congressman, His
Hopes, His Expectations and His Disap-
pointments." General Alger spoke about
the Republican party in a manner to wildly
enthuse the audience.
Before leaving the city Governor McKin.
ley said there was no Forakerism or Sher-
manism in Ohio, except in newspapers. He
declined to say anything about the proba
bility of his leading the Ohio delegation to
Minneapolis Asked in regard to Repub
lican prospects for 1892, he said lie was con
hdent the nominees Of the party will be
elected.
General Alger was rather indisposed to
talk of his own prospects in Michigan and
the country at large as a presidential as
pirant He said: "There is not much talk
ing place at present to disturs the state Of
Michigan politically. If we succeed in de.
feating the Miner law by which presidential
electors are chosen by congressional districts,
there will be no doubt as to the state being
strongly Republican"
