A BANK FAILURE.

The Plankinton Bank at Milwaukee, WIS.,,
Closes Its Doors-The Suspension Duo
pLargely to the Failure of Lappen q Co.
MILWAUKEE, June 2.-The expected
has come to pass. The following no.
tice was posted on the doors of the
Plankinton bank yesterday morning
Owing to the failure of all efforts to
reorganize the bank andt he continued
withdrawal Of deposits, we have
thought best for the interest of all
depositors and the stockholders to close
the bank"
The failure, for such it is, causes no
surprise in business circles. 1t was a
forgone conclusion. The moment the
fact was made public that it was in
volved to the extent of s974,OOO in the
Lappen case just that moment it was
certain that the bank must cease to do
business or face the alternative of re-
organizing and with new officers try to
live down its bad reputation.
Financiers generally believed liqui-
dation was the only resort that might
reasonably be expected They pointed
out that the reputation Of the bank is
as sensitive as that of woman and
that 1t would be at best long and
hopeless task to regain public conf
dence if it were possible at all. The
failure will not have straw's weight
in helping one to judge of the financial
condition of the country. 1t was not
caused by tight money market or by
a run, or by any of the other causes
which may legitimately affect the
banking business. The failure was
owing solely to bad banking.
A meeting of the directors Of the
bank was held shortly before noon to
take action as to the future course to
be pursued. 1t was decided to pro-
ceed to liquidation at once and Will
liam Plankinton was named as as
signee, and took possession of the in
stitution Immediately after the close of
the meeting. 1t developed that the
bank is in possession of large amount
of non-negotiable paper, upon which
an unsuccessful effort to realize was
made several days ago. Besides this
the assets are large and valuable TO
such an extent that it was said that no
loss would be occasioned to anybody
interested.
THE bond given by Mr.. Plankinton is
for S1,6OO,0OO, with John L. Mitchell,
David Ferguson and Charles Ray as Sc
curities.
1t is impossible to get a detailed
statement of the assets and liabilities.
Unprejudiced estimates, however, place
the nominal assets at 81, 900, 900 and the
liabilities to depositors at 100000.
These assets include paper held by the
bank against concerns in which Frank
A. Lappen was interested, amounting
in the aggregate to nearly $3.50, 900, as
well as notes of +. T. Day, the presi-
dent Of the bank, for the sum of $780,
600.

The remains of the late Jefferson Davis

The remains of the late Jefferson Davis
were brought from New Orleans, La, to
Richmond, Va, and inferred in Holly
wood cemetery. The remains of Presi-
dents Monroe and Taylor rest there, and
many other lesser lights that have taken
part in directing the affairs of state within
the past forty years. Great demonstra-
tions were made at the funeral OF Mr..
Davis and rebel flags were displayed on
every corner. The deceased was no more
guilty than those who assisted him during
the four years he acted as director of the
misguided band, yet his name is placed at
the head OF the long list of names of those
who attempted TO dissolve the union OF
states and must receive the censure from
an intelligent public as long as time lasts.
